The Daily Carry Podcast

This is one is for someone out there wrestling with God.
In Episode 108 of The Daily Carry Podcast, we sit down with Justin Sandoval to hear one of the most heartbreaking but powerful testimonies.
In September 2025, Justin’s daughter, Taylor, was murdered by her husband. No parent should ever have to endure a loss like that.
This conversation is an honest look at grief, anger, heartbreak, and the difficult questions that follow unimaginable tragedy. But more than that, it’s the story of what God can do in a willing heart. Justin shares how the Lord met him in his darkest moments, began transforming his pain, and led him down a path of forgiveness, healing, and love that only Jesus Christ could make possible.
If you’ve ever wrestled with suffering, loss, injustice, or wondered where God is in the middle of pain, this episode will encourage and challenge you.
We conclude the conversation with prayer.
“He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.” - Psalm 147:3 (NLT)

Conor McGregor’s long-awaited return didn’t unfold the way many expected, raising questions about legacy, preparation, and what happens when reality doesn’t match the hype.
We also discuss the shocking incident at Yellowstone National Park where a man was launched by a bison, and what it reminds us about respecting both nature and the consequences of ignoring warnings.
From there, we examine the arrest of police officers accused of misusing Flock camera technology, the growing concerns surrounding HOA and government overreach, and the newly announced United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative, looking at why these developments matter and the questions they raise about liberty, security, and the future.
Finally, we bring the conversation home to Colorado, discussing the challenges facing our own communities and asking an even bigger question: How should Christians respond when the culture around them seems to be changing so rapidly?
Politics, technology, and governments all have their place, but none of them are humanity’s ultimate hope. Real transformation begins when hearts are changed through Jesus Christ. We close this episode by turning our attention to the One who remains faithful in every generation and end together in prayer.

This week on The Daily Carry, we unpack some of the most talked-about stories making headlines:
 Fourth of July celebrations that took unexpected turns.
 Colorado’s growing outrage over Flock camera surveillance, the debate over privacy, and the vigilante who began destroying the cameras.
A Christian owned Denver coffee shop finds itself at the center of protests after backlash from the LGBTQ+ community. + The horrifically disgusting naked pride parade in Seattle.
 
 The Dead Sea Scrolls reportedly being loaned from Israel to the Museum of the Bible only under the condition that the term “Before Christ (BC)” not be used, and what that says about the battle over history, language, and faith.
 Finally, we discuss the Texas family’s home that was destroyed by fire, yet three Bibles remained after everything else was lost, and why stories like this continue to capture people’s attention and tell a very important Truth.
As always, we close by pointing beyond the headlines to the only hope that never changes, Jesus Christ.
“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” - Matthew 24:35 (KJV)

America celebrates 250 years of freedom, but beneath the fireworks, a much bigger conversation is unfolding.
This week on The Daily Carry Podcast, we begin by reflecting on the Celebrate 250 festivities before turning to one of the biggest stories in America: the Charlie Kirk murder case.
We discuss the trial, examine the facts that are publicly known, address the controversies and conspiracy theories surrounding the case, and talk about why it’s more important than ever to pursue truth rather than speculation.
As we close the episode, we revisit some of Charlie Kirk’s most impactful moments. In many of his final public messages, he warned that America faced growing internal division and ideological conflicts that could undermine the nation’s future. Yet his message didn’t stop with cultural or political commentary. He consistently pointed people toward what he believed was the only lasting hope, not found in politics, personalities, or institutions, but in Jesus Christ.
Whether you agreed with Charlie on every issue or not, his willingness to speak with conviction challenged millions to think critically, engage courageously, and stand for their beliefs.
As always, we end the episode the way we end every episode: in prayer, for our nation, our leaders, our communities, and that hearts would turn to Jesus Christ, the true source of hope, peace, and salvation.

Episode 104 of the Daily Carry Podcast dives into some of the biggest issues facing Colorado right now.
We break down the aftermath of Colorado's Primary Election, the controversies surrounding the results, and the growing divisions within the conservative movement. Is the infighting helping anyone, or is it distracting from the much bigger battles ahead? We discuss why now may be the time to put differences aside and unite against the destructive forces impacting our state.
We also cover the devastating wildfires burning across Colorado, the incredible efforts of firefighters, first responders, volunteers, and neighbors stepping up to help affected families, and the disturbing reports of individuals being arrested on suspicion of intentionally setting fires. It's a sobering reminder of both the resilience Coloradans have, and the challenges our communities are facing.
As always, we close the episode in prayer, asking for wisdom, protection, provision for those affected by the fires, strength for those on the front lines, and unity for Colorado.

We discuss the current state of the race, the issues impacting Colorado families, businesses, public safety, education, and the economy, as well as the policies and leadership principles they believe can move Colorado forward.

While Micah was out of town, Kyle Sheldon stepped in for Episode 101 of The Daily Carry Podcast. Kyle joined Jared for a wide-ranging conversation exploring the lessons learned both on and off the mats.
Following Jared's recent appearance on the Colorado Gym Owner Series with the Egghead Scramble Podcast, hosted by Colorado Wolverines PGF Team owner David Segraves, the discussion begins with the growth and impact of the PGF and the exciting development of the Colorado Wolverines. Jared and Kyle then discuss their experiences in Jiu-Jitsu, sharing personal insights on dealing with injuries, the mental and physical challenges of recovery, and the perseverance required to overcome setbacks and keep moving forward.
Along the way, they draw meaningful parallels between Jiu-Jitsu and the Christian faith, discussing humility, discipline, endurance, and how growth often comes through struggle. Whether you're a grappler, an athlete, or simply navigating life's challenges, this conversation offers encouragement and practical wisdom for the journey.
The episode concludes with prayer, reminding listeners to trust God through every season, whether in victory, adversity, or the process of becoming who He has called them to be.

What started as a simple mission became a journey we never could have predicted.
In this special 100th episode of The Daily Carry, we take a look back at where it all began, from Episode 1 to nearly 20 million views later. Through a flashback recap and honest conversation, we reflect on the opportunities that opened, the challenges we faced, the lessons we learned, and the responsibility that comes with influence.
Most importantly, we discuss why staying grounded in purpose matters more than numbers, growth, or success. The mission remains the same: to encourage people to carry their faith boldly and follow Christ faithfully.
Whether you've been with us from the beginning or you're just joining the journey, thank you for being part of these first 100 episodes.
We close this milestone episode in prayer, giving thanks for God's faithfulness and looking ahead to what He has planned next.

EP 99 of The Daily Carry Podcast launches our brand-new Faith Factor series, where we sit down with guests to hear their personal testimony and the transforming power of Jesus Christ.
In this powerful first episode, we welcome Kyle Sheldon, owner of Fowl Eggz and SOH Archery in Castle Rock, Colorado. Kyle is known throughout the community for his involvement in men's groups, church leadership, real estate, and the Jiu-Jitsu community, but his greatest story is what God has done in his life.
Kyle shares what happened when, after decades of attending church, he finally opened the Bible and began reading it for himself. What followed was more than religion, it was a genuine encounter with Jesus that transformed the direction of his life.
In this conversation, we discuss:
 
✅ Going to in church but not truly knowing Christ
✅ Reading the Bible for the first time and having eyes opened
✅ Attending church VS being part of the Body of Christ
✅ How pursuing Jesus changes desires and priorities
✅ God removing the grip of alcohol, lust, and worldly pursuits
✅ Finding brotherhood through Christian community
✅ What it means to walk daily with Jesus in today's world
✅ How God is still transforming lives today
 
This episode is an honest, encouraging reminder that Christianity is not about checking a religious box, it's about a real relationship with Jesus that changes everything.
Whether you're a lifelong believer, a new Christian, or simply curious about faith, Kyle's testimony is a powerful example of what can happen when someone truly pursues God.
Stay tuned for more Faith Factor episodes as we continue sharing stories of redemption, transformation, and hope.
🙏 We close this episode in prayer.
