What happens when the answer is “there’s nothing more we can do”—and you decide to pray anyway?

In this heartwarming episode of the Spirit Media Podcast, host David Foster sits down with children’s Christian author, retired preschool teacher, and former social worker Molly Ann Pollock-Birth to explore the true story behind her book, Coco, aka The Lazarus Dog. After more than two decades nurturing young hearts and minds in the classroom, Molly Ann never expected her greatest lesson in faith to come from a stubborn, strong-willed rescue dog named Coco—or from the day a surgeon told her that the tumor was inoperable and it was time to say goodbye.

Molly Ann shares the week that followed: the quiet prayers whispered over a dog too weak to eat, a church family that refused to give up, and the moment a doctor used words no one saw coming. Along the way, she reflects on how children process fear, grief, and uncertainty, why rhyme and gentle storytelling help hard truths land softly, and what her mother taught her about God’s timing when the miracle doesn’t arrive the way we want it to.

This uplifting conversation explores faith, hope, prayer, family, and the surprising ways God answers. Whether you’re a Christian parent, an aspiring children’s author, or someone still waiting on an answer, this episode is a reminder to keep believing.

What if the invisible battles you carry today began long before you knew they had a name?

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Spirit Media Podcast, host David Foster sits down with engineer, entrepreneur, and bestselling author John Boyle to explore the life-changing story behind his book Invisible Wounds. Raised in a violent home, John spent decades battling anxiety, insomnia, hypervigilance, perfectionism, and addiction without understanding the root cause. Despite building a successful career as a CEO and executive leader, he discovered that achievement could not heal unresolved childhood trauma.

John candidly shares his journey through misdiagnosis, alcoholism, rehabilitation, and ultimately the hope he found through faith in Jesus Christ and a diagnosis of complex PTSD. Together, David and John discuss the effects of childhood trauma, emotional healing, mental health, resilience, Christian faith, and practical tools for recovery without revealing the book's most personal moments.

Whether you're struggling with past wounds, supporting someone you love, or searching for hope after trauma, this conversation offers compassionate insight, biblical encouragement, and the reminder that healing is possible. Discover why understanding your story may be the first step toward lasting freedom, renewed purpose, and a future defined by hope instead of pain.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn't a lack of time, but a lack of trusted systems?

In this inspiring episode of the Spirit Media Podcast, host David Foster sits down with productivity expert, certified coach, and Sort of Success co-author Andrea Anderson to explore why so many people feel overwhelmed by paper, email, digital clutter, and endless to-do lists. Drawing from more than two decades of helping individuals and business owners regain control of their workspaces and lives, Andrea reveals that organization is about far more than cleaning up. It is about overcoming procrastination, releasing guilt, making confident decisions, and creating room for what matters most.

Listeners will discover the powerful mindset behind sustainable productivity, the emotional connection many people have with clutter, and the practical principles of the SOAR Framework that have transformed countless lives. Andrea also shares her personal journey, the faith-filled story that led her to this life-changing work, and why hope, not perfection, is the foundation of lasting change.
