Have you ever wondered if any of this is even true? In this episode, Coach Jamie sits down with evangelist, author, and speaker Alex McFarland to answer one of the biggest questions teens are asking today: Is Jesus real?
Alex has spent over 30 years traveling the world sharing the gospel — and he's not your typical "churchy" guest. He grew up a poor farm kid in rural North Carolina, plays guitar every single day, used to play in a band at frat parties before he ever knew Jesus, and had only $58 to his name the day he got married. Fast forward 30 years: he's written 21 books, spoken on 5 continents, shared the stage with the Beach Boys, and watched around a quarter million people come to faith in Christ. His story is proof that God doesn't need you to have it all together — He just needs you willing.
In this conversation, Alex and Jamie talk about:✨ How one person's quiet example (not a sermon) changed the course of Alex's life✨ Why God gives us "do-overs" no matter how many times we need one✨ What to do when your mind is stuck on repeat with lies like "I'm not good enough"✨ What he'd say to a teen who's on the fence about fully following Jesus
Verses referenced: Psalm 119:93, Psalm 119:18, John 6:40, Psalm 37:4
💬 This week's challenge: Think of one person in your life who's watching how you live. What's your life pointing them toward?
🌟 Declaration: I am beautiful. I am valuable. My beauty and my value — they don't change. Even if someone fails to see how incredible God made me.

Have you ever known exactly what needed to be said... and said nothing?
This week, Rosie, Kayleigh, and Sadie join Coach Jamie for an honest conversation about the difference between speaking up and starting drama, why truth without love falls flat, and what it actually looks like to confront someone the way Jesus would.
The girls get real about the fear that keeps us quiet — and share the moments their faith gave them courage to speak anyway: a divine coffee shop encounter, a cry-night prayer that came full circle, and a lunch table where nobody else was a Christian.
If you've ever shrunk back when God was nudging you to speak, this episode is your reminder: your voice matters, and you never know who's listening.
Verses referenced: Ephesians 4:15, Ephesians 4:29
This week's challenge: The next time you feel God leading you to speak up, step out in boldness — and watch what He does.

Have you ever known exactly what needed to be said... and said nothing? Maybe it was standing up for someone being talked about behind their back. Maybe it was telling a friend a hard truth. Maybe it was just raising your hand when you knew the answer, but you didn't want to look like you were trying too hard.
This week, Coach Jamie sits down with Rosie, Kayleigh, and Sadie for an honest conversation about fear, faith, and finding the courage to use your voice. They get real about the moments they stayed quiet when they knew they shouldn't have, what actually stops us from speaking up, and the difference between speaking the truth in love and just starting drama.
You'll hear real stories about choosing courage over comfort, why "sin of omission" is a real thing, and how one person's willingness to speak up can change a life they'll never even know about. Plus, a rapid-fire round putting these real-life scenarios to the test.
Because courage isn't the absence of fear — it's being afraid and doing it anyway.
This episode is part of our August "Courageous" series.

She hasn't even gotten out of bed yet, and she's already exhausted from trying to be smart enough, pretty enough, likable enough, spiritual enough. Sound familiar?
This week Coach Jamie gets real about her own battle with perfectionism as a teen — the comparison, the workouts done out of self-hatred instead of health, the constant feeling of falling short.
Together we're unpacking why perfectionism is so suffocating, what it does to your mind and body, and the truth God says about you instead. Your body was never the problem, ladies. The lies you believed about it were. Time to start believing what's actually true. 🎯

Is modesty just about hemlines and necklines? Or is it something way deeper than that?
In Part 2 of our modesty conversation, Jamie sits down with Rosie, Kayleigh, and Sadie to dig into what modesty actually looks like from the inside out.
They talk about the difference between expressing yourself and seeking attention, why confidence in Christ changes everything about the way you carry yourself, and what it looks like to be the kind of girl that makes everyone around her feel more secure — not less.
This episode will challenge you to ask yourself one honest question: Am I doing this for God, or am I doing it for attention?
Real talk, real faith, real girls. This is UncommonTEEN.
In this episode we talk about:
    •    Whether modesty is really about the clothes or something deeper
    •    How you can feel someone's heart intention behind what they wear
    •    Why seeking attention is human — and what God says about that void
    •    What a truly modest girl actually looks like in real life
    •    How confidence in Christ makes you magnetic to the people around you
This week's challenge: As you get dressed each morning this week, ask yourself — am I doing this for God or am I doing it for attention?
Declaration: I am beautiful. I am valuable. My beauty and my value, they don't change. Even if someone fails to see how incredible God made me.

Let's talk about modesty.
 
No guilt trips. No dress codes. No lectures. Just Coach Jamie and some of our favorite teen voices sitting down to have a conversation that most people are too scared to start. 
 
Here's the truth: modesty was never meant to be about what we wear. It was about what's happening in our hearts. And in a world that's constantly telling us what to wear, what to show, and what gets noticed, that matters a lot!
 
In this episode, we get honest about the pressure we feel, the questions they have, and what it looks like to walk in real confidence--the kind that doesn't depend on what we wear. 
 
If you've ever felt confused, judged, or just straight up tires of the modesty conversation, this one's for you!

You have a list. Things you want to be different when you walk back into school this fall — less anxiety, more peace, bolder faith, actually liking who you see in the mirror. But here's the truth nobody's going to sugarcoat for you: just because you want something doesn't mean you're going to get it. In order to see a change, you need to change.
This summer is not a pause from becoming — it's the building season. In this episode Coach Jamie shares five habits you can start today that will take you exactly where you want to be by September.
Plus — details on UncommonTEEN Live: Known 2026. Early bird pricing ends July 18th. Don't miss it.

Have you been hiding your light? Not because the light went out — but because fear, insecurity, or the pressure to fit in talked you into staying small?
In this episode, Coach Jamie gets real about what it actually means to shine different — and why blending in is costing you more than you think. We're diving into Acts 4:13 and talking about what God says about ordinary girls doing extraordinary things.
Plus three practical things you can do THIS WEEK to stop shrinking and start shining.
You were not made to hide. You were made to shine different.

Are you actually living like a Christian — or just blending in?
Jesus didn't suggest it. He said you are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. But what happens when salt loses its flavor? What happens when you hide your light because of fear or peer pressure?
In this episode of the UncommonTEEN Podcast, Coach Jamie breaks down Matthew 5:13-16 and gets really honest about what it looks like to live as salt and light in today's culture — at school, in your friend group, on social media, at the pool.
In this episode:
What salt and light actually meant in Bible times (this will change how you read it)
The real meaning behind "tasteless salt" — and why Jesus used the word for moron or fool
How to know if you've been blending in more than standing out
A practical 3-step reset if you've lost your saltiness
How to shine your light without being preachy or weird about it
The one-week cultural detox that could genuinely change how you think
This isn't about being perfect. It's about being different — in the most beautiful, compelling way.
