All Things Possible With Bethany Hamilton

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.

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.

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. Loren and her team at Innate Fertility have helped many couples conceive naturally—even after failed IVF attempts. Find her work at innatefertility.org or on Instagram @innate_fertility.

What if the secret to raising happier, healthier children wasn’t another activity, another program, or another screen, but simply going outside? Bethany and Adam sit down with Ginny Yurich, founder of the 1000 Hours Outside movement, to talk about the life-changing power of nature for both children and parents. Ginny shares her journey from being an exhausted young mom to discovering freedom and joy by spending hours outdoors with her family. They dive into the “rat race of childhood,” the pressures of modern parenting, the dangers of screen addiction, and why unstructured time in God’s creation is essential for raising resilient, faith-filled children. Guest Bio: Ginny Yurich is a national speaker, author, and founder of the global movement 1000 Hours Outside, which inspires families to match their screen time with time outdoors. She is the host of the 1000 Hours Outside podcast and the author of several books, including Until the Streetlights Come On and Homeschooling: You’re Doing It Right Just by Doing It. A homeschooling mom of five living in Michigan, Ginny is passionate about helping families escape the modern “rat race” of overscheduling and rediscover the simple joy of playing and learning in nature.

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. He and his wife, Melinda, have four children and are celebrating 30 years of marriage. 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.

Bethany and Adam sit down with actor and author Kirk Cameron for an honest conversation about courage, parenting, and faith. From growing up in Hollywood to becoming a husband, dad of six, and now a grandpa, Kirk has learned what it means to go against the current and stand for truth. In this episode, they talk about the challenges of raising children in today’s culture, the beauty (and struggles) of homeschooling, and why the daily fight to stay grounded in God’s Word is worth it. Kirk shares wisdom from his own family’s journey, along with encouragement for parents who want to raise children who know who they are in Christ.

Bethany and Adam sit down with author and mom of four, Amber Lia, to talk about the triggers every parent faces, those moments when anger, exhaustion, or unrealistic expectations bubble over.

What really happens the moment someone walks out of prison gates—alone, afraid, and carrying nothing but a red net bag? Bethany and Adam sit down with Joshua and Debs Walker, founders of 7More, a ministry that meets men and women at the prison gates the moment they are released. From helping them navigate those first critical hours to walking alongside them through mentorship, job placement, and faith-based community, the Walkers are bridging the gap between incarceration and true freedom. You’ll hear stories of transformation, heartbreaking realities of life after prison, and how 7More is breaking cycles of poverty, crime, and hopelessness. Joshua and Debs share how identity in Christ changes everything, and how the church can step into a role that government programs can never fully fill. Guest Bio: Joshua and Debs Walker are the founders of 7More, a nonprofit ministry serving men and women reentering society after prison. Originally from Dublin, Ireland, they moved to Houston, Texas, nearly two decades ago, where they first began working with the homeless and discovered the unique challenges faced by those leaving incarceration. With a heart to meet people at their most vulnerable moments, Joshua and Debs launched 7More to provide immediate support, practical resources, mentorship, and a clear message of hope in Christ. Their team works at prison release sites, halfway houses, and within communities to break cycles of poverty, addiction, and crime—one life at a time. When Joshua isn’t serving on the streets or mentoring, you can probably find him at the local skatepark, connecting with people over shared passions and handing out 7More stickers. Debs serves as a voice of advocacy, coordination, and compassion, helping men and women walk a new path toward lasting freedom.
