Some moments in life are difficult to explain. A terrifying moment on a mountain that should have ended differently. A spontaneous journey across the country that eventually led to a man with “Lost Hope” tattooed across his fingers. A dream involving three numbers—555—that would eventually lead to a highway, a town called Jericho, and a much deeper lesson about the grace of God. In this episode of Dallas the Podcast, Dallas Fears sits down with Max Bloeser—a husband, father, dentist, adventurer, and man who has spent more than 30 years intentionally pursuing a deeper relationship with God. But Max’s story isn’t really about miracles. It’s about what happened when he realized there was a difference between knowing about God and actually knowing Him. That realization changed the way Max approached his faith. He began asking questions. Making room to listen. Stepping outside his comfort zone. And sometimes following where he believed God was leading—even when he couldn’t understan…

Today is Finley's second surgery on her only eye this week. In this clip, she shares something that has anchored her through every challenge: Who the Author of her story is.🤍 No matter what today holds, we know God is already there. He is writing a story that we cannot fully see yet, but we trust the One who holds the pen. As you watch, would you please stop and say a prayer for Finley? Pray for wisdom for every doctor and nurse, for steady hands during surgery, for complete healing from this infection, for a successful retinal repair, and for God's peace to surround our family. Thank you for standing with us, believing with us, and praying with us. We are so grateful for every one of you.

The last 72 hours have changed everything for our family. After waking up Sunday in excruciating eye pain, Finley was seen by her retina and cornea specialists. What they discovered led to emergency eye surgery Monday—another surgery in a journey that has already included more than 25 procedures. Doctors found an infection inside Finley’s eye, but one of the biggest questions remains unanswered: How did it get there? During emergency surgery, antibiotics were injected directly into her eye and fluid was taken for cultures. Now, we wait. We wait to see what the cultures reveal. We wait to see if the antibiotics work. And we wait to learn what comes next. In this episode, I sit down with Finley while we are still very much in the middle of the story. She shares what the last few days have been like, the frightening experience she had coming out of anesthesia, what she’s feeling now, and what it’s like to face another unknown after everything she has already endured. We don't have …

Why does someone stay in a relationship they know is hurting them? In this deeply personal episode of Dallas the Podcast, Dallas Fears sits down with her childhood friend Christy Martin to uncover a story Dallas never knew was unfolding behind the scenes. Christy shares her journey through addiction, multiple DUIs, prison, abusive relationships, and eventually reaching a point where she knew that if she went back, she might not survive. But one of the most powerful parts of Christy's story is understanding why she stayed. Growing up with divorced parents, Christy became determined to give her own daughters something different. She believed keeping her family together meant she hadn't failed—even as the relationship she was fighting to preserve became increasingly dangerous. This conversation goes beyond addiction and domestic abuse. It's about the complicated reasons people hold on, recognizing the early signs of an abusive relationship, the difference between giving up and surr…
