Today, I sit down with Aggie Park, host of the {UN}SPOKEN podcast, to unpack a faith-forward conversation on trauma, identity, and what healing looks like in real time. Ms. Park shares her story of being born in Indonesia, growing up in Germany, and later building life in the United States, all while also balancing her work in podcasting, pageantry, and content creation.

In this episode, Ms. Park walks through the early roots of low self-worth shaped by emotional and physical abuse, bullying, and repeated rejection and how those wounds impacted the relationships she chose later in life. We talk through the consequences that followed, the moments where God intervened in unmistakable ways, and the difference between being around “Christian things” and developing a personal relationship with Jesus.

We also get practical and specific about faith under pressure: forgiveness versus reconciliation, setting boundaries without abandoning obedience, and how to forgive while still protecting yourself from repeated harm. Ms. Park shares how writing her book has forced honest reflection and became a tool for processing grief, while also speaking about ongoing battles like anxiety, depression, eating disorder patterns, and self-harm, along with what it means to pursue healing as a Christian without shame.

To close, Ms. Park highlights the mission behind Unspoken Season Two: stories from people still in the middle of the struggle, learning to trust God before the “final testimony” is complete. We anchor the conversation in Scripture (including Zephaniah 3:17 and Isaiah 40:31) and leave listeners with a clear message: healing is not always linear, but purpose is never absent when you surrender the process to God.

Today, I invite Imani Mclemore to preach with me to read and break down the Song of Songs (also called Song of Solomon), one of the most overlooked and misunderstood books in the Bible. Because it’s written as an intense love poem, a lot of people ask why it’s included in Scripture at all. To help answer that question, I explain the purpose, the context, and what this book reveals about God-honoring romance, desire, and covenant love.

As we move chapter-by-chapter, Ms. Mclemore and I read the alternating voices of the man, the woman, and the friends, and we pause to unpack the imagery and relationship dynamics. We talk about mutual admiration, the role of healthy intimacy (beyond sex), and how modern culture confuses love with lust—especially through hypersexualized media, pornography, and public “intimacy” that erodes dignity.

I also hit key themes that show up repeatedly in the poem: patience and timing, separation and pursuit, conflict and reconciliation, and how community voices can either support or stir confusion in relationships. Ms. Mclemore and I both share perspective on what this kind of intentional love looks like compared to today’s dating culture, where situationships and lust-first connections have replaced devotion and honor.

To close, we share some minor Hebrew and literary notes and then end with a practical challenge: if you love someone, communicate it with intentionality—go beyond generic compliments and speak with detail, honor, and covenant-level consistency.

Today, I reunite with Lori Lyons- whom I met on the New Media Cruise (formally, Podcasters Cruise)- to talk about what it really takes to “ignite your business” in a world full of copy-and-paste websites, AI-generated content, and shrinking attention spans. We get into why a website still matters—whether you’re an entrepreneur, coach, creative, or artist—and how your website should function as a living business card that builds trust and credibility.

Lori breaks down how she had to pivot from traditional marketing and packaging into digital marketing, WordPress, and eventually website design after being laid off. Through this, we discuss markets shift, how technology changes consumer behavior, and why your ability to adapt matters more than ever.

Together, we also get into the importance of messaging. Ms. Lyons explains why so many business owners lose clients simply because they aren’t clear about what they do, who they serve, and what problems they solve. We cover common branding mistakes, why “symptoms” often sell better than labels, and how clarity beats cleverness when people are deciding whether to listen, click, or buy.

We also talk professionalism and presentation—especially for podcast guests and high-ticket offers. Ms. Lyons shares why showing up polished isn’t vanity, it’s credibility, and how basic standards can influence trust, authority, and client decisions.
