Rachel Joy Baribeau, an award-winning storyteller, inspirational speaker, and transformative coach, bares the depths of her past in this candid interview on The God Pod.
Struggling with cocaine addiction and pursuing unfulfilling idols, she found herself at a crossroads. Yet, it was in the midst of her darkest days that God worked miraculously to save her. Rachel Joy's journey from the lows of addiction to becoming an acclaimed sportscaster and the first female SiriusXM ESPNU host is a testament to divine intervention. But it's what happened AFTER that where she gives God all the glory.
Rachel Joy did not hold back in Part 1 of this interview, as she shares all the "dark" and lonely places that caused her to keep coming back to God -- the one constant in her life amidst the ungodly amount of grief she faced.
If you've ever felt lost, fargone, or caught in the throes of addiction, listen in as she shares the pivotal awarenesses, realizations, and experiences that shaped who she is today in the midst of all the darkness.

In this episode, Leanne explores the question: “What would it look like to trust God with my body?” Drawing from her personal journey and the experiences of many women, Leanne delves into the idea that trusting God with our bodies isn't about achieving perfection but about surrendering control and embracing our God-given worth.
Leanne outlines five transformative shifts that can lead to healing: ceasing the pursuit of worthiness through self-fixing, discerning God's voice over shame, moving from control to stewardship, partnering with God in our journey, and anchoring our identity in Christ rather than our reflection. This episode serves as a compassionate guide for those seeking freedom from body image struggles, reminding them that peace and healing are possible through a partnership with God

In this episode Leanne explores the question: “Is my obsession with food a spiritual battle?” Drawing from her personal journey and the experiences of countless women, Leanne delves into the idea that struggles with food and body image are not merely about willpower or discipline but are deeply rooted in spiritual warfare, and how the enemy often uses lies and shame to keep us trapped in cycles of obsession and self-condemnation.
Leanne offers a compassionate and faith-filled perspective, encouraging listeners to shift from self-condemnation to curiosity, to take their thoughts captive, and to invite God into their healing journey. She underscores the importance of recognizing food as a gift from God, not a master, and our bodies as temples to be honored, not projects to be perfected. Through practical steps and biblical truths, this episode serves as a guide for those seeking freedom from food obsession, reminding them that they are not alone and that true healing is possible through partnership with God.

This week on What’s God Got To Do With It?, we’re talking about something that’s often avoided in church spaces—but deeply needed: sex, intimacy, and God’s true vision for marriage.
I’m so excited to welcome Sheila and Keith Gregoire to the podcast. Sheila is the voice behind BareMarriage.com and the author of over 11 books, including the eye-opening The Great Sex Rescue and her latest release, The Marriage You Want.
Together, Sheila and Keith have been helping couples move past shame, harmful theology, and broken intimacy scripts to build marriages rooted in mutuality, emotional safety, and real connection.
If you've ever struggled with what you were taught about sex, submission, or showing up in your marriage—this conversation is for you. And because there’s so much to unpack, we’ve split it into two powerful parts.
In Part 2, we explore how to heal the emotional and sexual wounds that hold couples back—and what it really takes to rebuild intimacy through safety, connection, and faith. Sheila & Keith also share practical tools for transforming conflict, communication, and closeness in a way that honors both God and each other.
This episode is all about going deeper into what happens when your marriage has experienced hurt, disconnection, or mistrust—and how to rebuild intimacy from the inside out.

In Part 1, we unpack the harmful marriage messages many women were taught in the name of faith—and how they often distort God’s true design for intimacy. Sheila & Keith help us reimagine a more sacred, emotionally safe, and God-honoring view of marriage built on mutuality, connection, and truth.
This episode is all about unlearning what’s not serving us—and making space for a new, life-giving vision of marriage.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of self-criticism, fear, or anxiety, this episode is for you.

You’ll learn practical steps to identify toxic thought patterns, replace lies with truth, and rewire your brain to align with God’s peace and purpose for your life. This isn’t about “thinking positive” or faking it till you make it—it’s about getting honest with your thought life and letting God transform it from the inside out.

In this episode of Ask the God Pod, we’re diving headfirst into a question so many of us carry but are often afraid to ask: Is it okay to question God? Maybe you’ve been told that doubt is dangerous or that wrestling with God is a sign of weak faith. But what if asking hard questions is actually part of growing a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him? Leanne opens up about her own struggles with faith, doubt, and getting real with God, and explores how the Bible is full of people—like David, Job, and even Jesus—who brought their raw, unfiltered questions to God. If you’ve ever felt guilty for questioning or wondered if you’re “doing faith wrong,” this episode will help you reframe doubt as an invitation to deeper connection—not distance.

In this episode, Chip Dodd and Leanne unpack how behaviors like emotional eating, over-exercising, workaholism, and social media addiction follow the same addictive patterns as substances.

You pray for change, you genuinely want to do better, and yet… you find yourself stuck in the same old habits. Sound familiar? In today’s episode, we answer a listener’s question about why breaking free from repetitive struggles feels so hard—even when we’re actively seeking God’s help. Whether it’s self-sabotage, toxic relationships, negative self-talk, or cycles of fear and doubt, we’ll unpack the three key reasons why we keep repeating patterns: how our brains crave familiarity, how subconscious beliefs shape our actions, and how spiritual battles keep us stuck.
But here’s the truth: You are not broken. You are not beyond hope. And this cycle doesn’t have to define you. We’ll dive into how Romans 12:2 shows us that real transformation happens through the renewing of our minds, how neuroscience confirms that change is possible, and how the Holy Spirit empowers us beyond sheer willpower. If you’re tired of feeling stuck and want real, lasting change, this episode will give you the tools—and the encouragement—to step into true freedom.

Have you ever found yourself thinking, I believe in God, but why do I still have doubts? If so, you’re not alone! In this episode, we tackle a powerful listener question about navigating faith when uncertainty creeps in. We’ll explore why doubt is a normal part of the faith journey, what the Bible actually says about questioning God, and how even some of the strongest believers—like John the Baptist and Thomas—had their moments of uncertainty.
But here’s the good news: Doubt doesn’t mean you’re failing in your faith. It’s an opportunity to grow deeper. We’ll also break down the neuroscience behind why our brains crave certainty and how we can rewire our thought patterns to align with God’s truth. If you’ve ever felt like you’re wrestling with faith and doubt at the same time, this episode will remind you that God isn’t afraid of your questions—and He’s not going anywhere.
