The Don’t Knock It Podcast encourages its listeners to embrace the common phrase “don’t knock it til you’ve tried it”, when presented with biblical truth. In other words, don’t refuse to try, consider, or accept biblical Christianity without first “tasting” and “seeing” that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8). The Don’t Knock It Podcast will address common misconceptions about Jesus and Christianity, in hopes to prepare the hearts of those who hear the calling, or the knock, of Jesus Himself (Rev.…

Joshua 10 records one of the Bible’s most debated miracles: Joshua prays, “Sun, stand still,” and Scripture says the sun remained in place until Israel’s victory was complete. For skeptics, it’s often dismissed as scientifically impossible. For many Christians, it raises difficult questions about how to faithfully interpret the text. In this episode, I examine one of the Old Testament’s most…
In this episode, I sit down with Jayden Faulkner — a recent graduate at Hillcrest Christian School to hear one of the most remarkable testimonies of redemption I've ever witnessed up close. Jayden shares openly about a childhood marked by instability, absent parents, and an environment where love felt conditional and safety was never guaranteed. Placed with an aunt and uncle after years of…
In this powerful episode of The Don’t Knock It Podcast, I sit down with 74-year-old Craig Goff to trace a testimony decades in the making — a story that moves from spiritual curiosity to spiritual bondage, and ultimately to dramatic deliverance. Craig recounts his early life, constant relocations, professional ambition, and eventual exposure to meditation circles and paranormal practices in…
In this episode, I sit down with my good friend and fellow church servant John Yepremian to hear a powerful testimony of God’s grace, patience, and transforming work over a lifetime. John shares honestly about his life before Christ—marked by insecurity, misplaced identity, destructive pursuits, and a traumatic night of violence that nearly took everything from him. From chasing validation and…
In this episode of The Don’t Knock It Podcast, I am joined by my sister in Christ, Marleya Shai, for a wonderful conversation about worship. Before Marleya drew her first breath, her story was already confronting one of Christianity’s boldest claims: God intervenes, God heals, God saves. Her mother—unsaved, fearful, facing a Down Syndrome diagnosis for her unborn daughter—turned to Jesus as a last…
In this solo sermon episode, I walk through one of the most foundational, and most misunderstood, doctrines in the Christian faith: the Image of God. Not as an abstract theological concept, but as a truth spoken into real people, real suffering, and real identity confusion. Before Israel ever heard the Ten Commandments, built the tabernacle, or stepped foot into the Promised Land, they heard God…
In this conversation, I welcome my former student and longtime podcast supporter Nico Ridino, whose story moves from atheism, isolation, and self-destruction into a hard-earned, faithful walk with Jesus. Nico’s testimony isn’t a dramatic moment of supernatural intervention — it’s the slow, painful breaking of pride, a near-suicidal night at 14, and God’s quiet persistence in the middle of…
In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, I sit down with my brother and co-laborer in Christ, Joshua Camper, to hear the story behind the name that’s been mentioned in several previous episodes. Both Dario and Jonathan shared how God used Joshua to shape their faith—and now it’s time to hear the story of the man behind those testimonies. Joshua opens up about his early years—being raised…
This episode contains discussion about a suicide attempt and the impact it had on a family. Listener discretion is advised. If this topic feels too heavy, we encourage you to pause or listen later with a parent or trusted adult. Remember, if you or someone you know is struggling, you can always reach out to a trusted adult or dial 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Today’s episode is…
In this solo episode, I open up about what it truly means to be a present father—and how one moment in the hospital recovery room changed everything for me. From the first day of my daughter’s life, God gave me a deep sense of calling and freedom: the freedom to be there, to show up, and to love consistently in a world that often celebrates absence. This episode is personal, raw, and…
