What if everything you’ve been told about health is incomplete? Before diets, supplements, or biohacking… there’s a missing foundation most people ignore. In this episode, we dive into a fascinating and often overlooked aspect of health: light, circadian rhythm, and how your environment shapes your biology. Ashlee shares her personal journey from knowing nothing about health to discovering powerful, unconventional approaches to healing. The conversation explores how light exposure impacts sleep, hormones, and overall well-being—and why it may matter even more than nutrition. They also discuss regenerative light therapy, its accessibility, and real-life results, including a case where it helped avoid surgery. This episode challenges conventional health priorities and encourages a more holistic and foundational approach to healing. Guest Bio Ashlee Rowland is a health advocate known for her personal journey into alternative healing and wellness. Coming from a traditional background with little exposure to health education, she began exploring new approaches after her own experiences. Her perspective centers on the importance of circadian rhythm, light exposure, and simple, foundational habits over complex biohacking trends. Through her insights, Ashlee offers a fresh and thought-provoking approach to health and healing.   Resources & Links Ashlee Rowland Instagram: http://Instagram.com/simplholistic Ashley's course: https://simplholistic.mykajabi.com/offers/6JqQ2rLv/checkout Simplholistic: https://simplholistic.org/ LifeWave: https://lifewave.com/bethanyhamilton H2Tab (use code BETHANY for 10% off): affiliates.drinkh2tab.com/BETHANY Sharkbanz: https://www.sharkbanz.com Connect with All Things Possible Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SurferBethanyHamilton Instagram: @bethanyhamilton TikTok: @bethanyhamiltonofficial YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBethanyHamilton Website: https://bethanyhamilton.com

In this episode, Bethany and Adam sit down with Paul Keating to talk about the broken state of social media and what a better future could look like. They get into how platforms like Instagram and Facebook profit off your attention through ads and addictive algorithms, why censorship on legacy platforms is a real problem (including what happened to Dr. Saladino during COVID), and how Primal - a social media app built on the open-source Nostr protocol - is trying to fix all of that by giving users full control over their feeds, no advertising model, and the ability to send real Bitcoin (called Zaps) directly to creators. The conversation naturally flows into Bitcoin itself - why it matters, how it differs from crypto, what sound money means, the debasement of the dollar, Bitcoin's humanitarian potential for the unbanked, and why Paul lives entirely on a Bitcoin standard in Costa Rica. They wrap up by recommending the book Thank God for Bitcoin and teasing a future deep-dive Bitcoin episode.   Guest Bio: Paul Keating is a builder at Primal, a social media app built on the decentralized Nostr protocol that lets users control their own feeds, own their data, and send Bitcoin directly to creators.

It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the political noise - especially when you're trying to raise kids, stay healthy, and keep your family anchored in faith. In this episode, Bethany Hamilton and Adam Dirks sit down with Nate Grasz from Nebraska Family Alliance to talk about why cultural and political issues keep 'creeping into' everyday family life - and what it looks like to respond with courage, clarity, and compassion. Nate shares why he believes politics is simply a process (not a category of 'off-limits' topics), and why believers shouldn't let the label 'political' decide what matters. If God cares about an issue, we should care too - not to chase popularity, but to stand for what's right. You'll also hear practical ways to get involved without living on the news: how Family Policy Councils serve families at the state level, how they help keep an eye on legislation that impacts kids, and why prayer is not a 'side pillar,' but a powerful part of lasting change.   Guest Bio: Nate Grasz serves with Nebraska Family Alliance, an organization that works to advance and defend biblical principles through public policy, culture, and community engagement. Nate and his team come alongside state lawmakers, help strengthen good policy for families, work to stop harmful legislation, and mobilize citizens and churches to stay informed and take meaningful action - all while keeping prayer at the center of their mission.   Resources: Nebraska Family Alliance: https://nebraskafamilyalliance.org/ Family Policy Alliance (find a Family Policy Council in your state): https://familypolicyalliance.com/ H2Tab (use code BETHANY for 10% off): affiliates.drinkh2tab.com/BETHANY Sharkbanz: https://www.sharkbanz.com   Connect with All Things Possible: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SurferBethanyHamilton Instagram: @bethanyhamilton TikTok: @bethanyhamiltonofficial YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBethanyHamilton Website: www.bethanyhamilton.com The Bethany Hamilton Network: https://bethanyhamilton.com/network
Pornography has quietly become one of the most destructive forces in marriages, families, and faith today — but it doesn’t have to be the end of your story. Bethany and Adam sit down with Mason Cain, founder of Unchained Leader, a Christ-centered global movement that has helped thousands of men and women find lasting freedom from pornography and sexual addiction.   Mason shares his raw testimony of early exposure, hidden shame, and the years of striving to “white-knuckle” his way out — until God led him through a journey of deep heart work, healing childhood wounds, and rediscovering his true identity in Christ.   Note: This episode contains mature content and is intended for adult listeners.   Guest Bio: Mason Cain is the founder of Unchained Leader, a Christ-centered holistic program that has guided thousands of men and women in over 30 countries to freedom from pornography and sexual addiction.

What if the “why” behind your child’s meltdowns isn’t attitude…but additives? Bethany and Adam talk with Whitney and Brandon Cawood, whose son went from daily write-ups and hitting to calm, connected, and thriving, after one change most parents overlook: removing synthetic food dyes. Their story launched the documentary To Dye For and a movement helping families trade anxiety for peace—without losing the joy of treats or holidays.   Together, they unpack what parents can do today: read labels, swap smarter, advocate in schools, and choose whole-food alternatives, without losing holiday fun or family traditions. The conversation keeps a grounded, hopeful tone with a faith lens: stewarding bodies well so families can show up with energy, presence, and joy.     Guest Bio: Whitney & Brandon Cawood are the husband-and-wife team behind To Dye For, a documentary investigating the science, policy, and personal stories surrounding synthetic food dyes. Their filmmaking began at home: after a 30-day elimination revealed dyes as the trigger for their young son’s severe behavioral struggles, the Cawoods interviewed researchers, physicians, lawmakers, and families to help other parents find clarity and hope. They lead the rapidly growing “Dye Free Family” community, curate practical dye-free resources, and advocate for commonsense school and labeling reforms. They live in Georgia with their two children.   Resources: To Die For (Documentary) — Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Google Play, Vudu/Fandango; free via many libraries with Kanopy.

Jonathan Isaac, forward for the Orlando Magic, joins Bethany Hamilton and Adam Dirks to share his story of overcoming anxiety, finding true peace in Christ, and standing firm in his faith—even when it meant going against the tide in one of the world’s biggest sports stages. Jonathan opens up about his early struggles with insecurity, the pressure of performing at the highest level, and how God met him with unconditional love. He talks about marriage, fatherhood, endurance in faith, and what it looks like to root his identity in Christ rather than achievements.

What if “infertility” wasn’t the final word? For many couples, the journey to conceive is filled with heartbreak, unanswered questions, and overwhelming medical advice. But what if there’s more hope than you’ve been told? In this episode of All Things Possible, Bethany and Adam sit down with Loren Sofía, founder of Innate Fertility, who takes a deeply holistic approach to fertility, addressing not just the body but also lifestyle, marriage dynamics, stress, and faith. Loren shares her own story of breaking free from the side effects of birth control, healing her thyroid and metabolism, and discovering how food, lifestyle, and spiritual alignment can unlock fertility. She has since helped countless couples, including those who were told IVF was their “only option”, to conceive naturally, sometimes even after failed treatments. From insulin resistance to hormonal imbalance, from stress to relational dynamics, this conversation is full of practical wisdom, biblical perspective, and encouragement for anyone longing to grow their family.   Guest Bio: Loren Sofía is a functional fertility practitioner and the founder of Innate Fertility, where she helps couples overcome fertility challenges by addressing root causes rather than masking symptoms. Her journey began after years on hormonal birth control left her with chronic health issues, including thyroid dysfunction, candida, and pre-diabetes, that conventional medicine failed to resolve. Through nutrition and lifestyle changes, Loren not only healed her own health but also discovered a passion for helping others. Today, she specializes in restoring metabolic health, balancing hormones, and guiding couples through a holistic approach to conception.

What if the Old Testament isn’t a harsh rulebook, but a love story pointing straight to Jesus? In this Diving Deeper episode, Adam welcomes Old Testament scholar and 1517 Scholar in Residence Chad Bird to help listeners see the Old Testament as a Christ-centered, grace-filled story rather than a distant or outdated text. Together they unpack the rise of Hebrew Roots/Torah-keeping movements, clarify which Old Testament laws were fulfilled in Christ, and explain how Paul’s warning to the Galatians still speaks into modern confusion around law, gospel, and Christian freedom. Chad then shows how Jesus and the apostles read the Scriptures—finding Christ in Genesis, the sacrifices, the feasts, and the Psalms—and how believers today can read and pray the Old Testament through that same lens.   Guest Bio: Chad Bird is a Scholar in Residence at 1517, where he teaches and writes to help Christians see the gospel shining through the Old Testament. He has served as a pastor, professor, and lecturer in Old Testament and Hebrew, and holds master’s degrees from Concordia Theological Seminary and Hebrew Union College.

Ginny shares her journey from being an exhausted young mom to discovering freedom and joy by spending hours outdoors with her family.

What if the “normal” way women are taught to do health is actually making them sicker? Bethany sits down with culture commentator and wellness advocate Alex Clark to unpack a surprising journey, from a teenage diet of Rice Krispie treats and chicken nuggets to becoming one of the leading voices in the “Make America Healthy Again” movement. Alex shares how the pandemic sparked an awakening in her own health, opening her eyes to Big Pharma, Big Food, the hidden side effects of hormonal birth control, and why so many millennial women are struggling physically, emotionally, and spiritually. They also talk about beauty culture, Botox, autoimmune issues, trusting God with our bodies, and the privilege of nourishing our families well.   Guest Bio: Alex Clark is a cultural commentator, podcast host, and outspoken wellness advocate leading the “Make America Healthy Again” movement.

She now hosts Culture Apothecary, a Turning Point USA–produced health and wellness show that blends research, activism, and real-life solutions for families seeking to break free from the standard American lifestyle. Alex has testified in the Senate alongside Bobby Kennedy Jr. and continues to educate women on informed consent, hormone health, toxic exposures, food quality, and living in alignment with God’s design for the body.

Adam and Bethany are back with their Diving Deeper series, and welcome back Pastor John Bombaro to unpack one of the most debated topics in modern American Christianity: infant baptism.  Drawing from Scripture, the early church, and church history, Pastor John explains why the historic, global Christian consensus has baptized infants, how baptism is God’s saving action (not our personal performance), and why that matters for assurance, parenting, and everyday discipleship. They will cover: The historic Christian consensus on baptizing infants (Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist) Why baptism is God’s objective promise and action—not our subjective decision How Scripture speaks of new birth, washing, regeneration, and forgiveness in baptism The Reformation split: Zwingli/Anabaptists vs. the conservative Reformation (Lutheran/Anglican) Assurance for weary Christians: why baptism anchors us when our feelings fluctuate Mode questions (sprinkle/pour/immerse) and the Didache’s practical guidance Parenting through the lens of inheritance: raising baptized children in their own faith   Guest Bio: Pastor John Bombaro is the senior pastor of St. James Lutheran Church in Lafayette, Indiana, home to Purdue University. Formerly a missionary and church planter in Kauai, Hawaii, Pastor John holds advanced degrees in theology and has taught and served globally.

Known for his clarity, depth, and pastoral warmth, Pastor John has a passion for helping people experience the gospel not just intellectually but intimately—in heart, soul, and body.   Resources:  Martin Luther on Baptism – classic excerpts on the efficacy of baptism (e.g., Large Catechism, Baptism).

Why would a couple take in child after child, many from traumatic situations, knowing they might have to say goodbye?

Bethany and Adam sit down with Chris McKenna, the founder of Protect Young Eyes, to talk about one of the most important and heartbreaking challenges families face today—children being exposed to explicit content at younger and younger ages. Chris shares his own powerful story of early exposure, the years of secret struggle that followed, and how God brought healing and redemption into his marriage. Together, they unpack how modern technology has made explicit content more accessible than ever—even on school-issued devices—and why this matters for every home, not just those facing an obvious crisis. Chris walks through a five-layer “digital safety pyramid” that helps parents take practical steps: from building trust and healthy conversations, to setting boundaries on devices, locations, and apps—all grounded in a foundation of faith, connection, and grace. If you’re raising children in the digital age and wondering how to protect their hearts and minds—without losing yours—this episode is for you.   Guest Bio: Chris McKenna: Founder, Protect Young Eyes, and President of The Better Tech Project non-profit.

It will force devices to enable existing content filters when activated by a minor.
