What happens when the rain of life feels overwhelming?
This week on The Nicole Crank Show, we’re talking about mental health and how to navigate those stormy seasons when it feels like everything’s pouring down on you.
But here’s the key: You aren’t the rain. You can feel the storm, but it doesn’t define you. Join me and my friend Doe Jones as we dive into how to protect yourself during life's downpours. We’ll talk about practical ways to shield your mind and spirit when the weight of it all feels like too much.
Doe's own journey into mental health advocacy started when a friend confided in him about suicidal thoughts—and that moment shifted everything. We’ll unpack why mental health matters and how you can build your own "rain jacket" to walk through tough seasons with resilience and hope.
If you’re ready to break the stigma, reclaim your peace, and find strength in the struggle, this episode is for you. Tune in, and let’s talk about how to turn the rain into a reminder that you’re not alone.
What if your deepest pain holds the key to your greatest purpose?

If you’re wrestling with heartbreak or longing to help someone who’s hurting, this episode will equip you with practical, simple ways to bring care and hope to those around you.
You don’t have to let pain define you. Let it refine you.

What’s the story you’ve been telling yourself? In this episode, learn the four keys to overcome your past and change the story of your future.
Awareness is the beginning of transformation. Did you know there is significance in the number nine, especially when it comes to self awareness? The number nine is linked to this thing called the Enneagram. And whether you've heard of it or not, I want you to stick with us because we're going to use this tool to learn more about you. We're living life through different filters. We're not putting you in a box or taking you out of a box. We're exposing the filter that's in front of your eyes, your thoughts, and your subconscious. I’ve got somebody alongside me that's really going to help us do this. My friend, Jackie Brewster, is an Enneagram expert. She is a coach, a wife, an author, a mom, and this girl knows what she is talking about. You're going to want to take some notes. We're going to give away some free resources and some tools. Are you ready to learn more about who God has made you to be? Let's go.
God can use your pain to change the world? Did I just say that? Absolutely! Ever notice how many people wear pink in October? How do these things happen? I found the lady who’s responsible for that. Her name is Nancy Brinker. She used one painful, tragic moment in her life to give her the purpose to change the entire world. She founded the Susan G. Komen Foundation. She went on to become the ambassador of Hungary while she was founding that organization and running it. All the while, she's serving as Chief of Protocol for George W. Bush as he was president. And then with Barack Obama, she got awarded the Presidential Medal of Honor. I'm telling you right now, this lady you're about to meet dressed in pink has changed the world. And she's not stopping now. Are you ready to change the world dressed in pink? Let's go!
Do you ever think about your dreams? Or has life tried to prove that it's not going to happen? You ignore them so that you don't get disappointed so that you can kind of go through life, but now you're not dreaming anymore. If you can relate to this, then this show is just for you. If you do have big dreams, then this is going to challenge you to dream even bigger. My friend, Elena Cardone, is one of the biggest dreamers. And she accomplishes them! She's a former actress and model. And today she's a mom, a wife, a mentor a public speaker, and an empire builder. And what some people might not know about her is that the first part of her life was a little more like a nightmare. We're going to tell you stories you've never heard. We're going to hear about experiences you never knew she experienced. And you're going to hear about overcoming in a way that's going to encourage you to overcome and live your dream. Are you ready to get your dream on? Let's go!
You are such an ANGEL! Don’t you love it when people say that to you? There's a new movie called Ordinary Angels, and in that movie there are some people who show up for somebody else in their life at a time when they really need it. Where would we be without the ordinary angels that show up in our lives to help us? The producer of Ordinary Angels, director of I Can Only Imagine, and producer of Jesus Revolution, Andy Erwin, is with us this week to talk to us all about it. Get comfy and settle in with us as get real about ORDINARY ANGELS!
It's time to stop leaving your dreams when you're sleeping and start living them when you're awake. Get out a notebook and some paper, pull out your pen, get out your notes app because we’re going give you a few things that's going to help you wake up and live your dreams. Let me give you one premise: If you want to enlarge your success, you need to shrink your vision. That might not sound like what every guru says when you're scrolling through social media, and that's why you can't listen to every guru. So if you've been discouraged, lack clarity,I want you to listen to me. I believe your harvest is waiting for you. Are you ready to live your dreams? Let's go!
When I got a diagnosis of stage 4 cervical cancer 20 years ago, I knew there was something I wanted to go to war for - my wellness. What I learned is something I want to share with you. Instead of me interviewing a guest this week, we have two guys, podcasters Ryan Jaycox and Joe Wood, and they interviewed me about what to do with my wellness goals and how to stay healthy. They run a group called the Monthly Millionaire Club and they value wellness and family over money. We all wanna leave a legacy. And another reason we all need to be well is so we can. Since the cervical cancer diagnosis, it's never shown back up. I kicked my wellness up a notch. And I love doing shows like this because it's even a reminder to me, it's time to take it back up another notch because I want you to live a healthy life. Are you ready? Let's go to war for your wellness.
Get your gowns and tiaras together because this week we’re in the home of the CEO of Miss America. I’m freaking out because I don't think my hair is right. I don't think my makeup is right. And here I am with Robin Fleming! The feelings of inadequacy and shame are real, y’all! I don't know how I got here, but I want to take you on the journey of how she got here, because I think you’re going to be blown away by the journey that she had to get here. She faced those same feelings within and became an incredible success! The good news is you can, too, as you learn from her story. Let’s go!
Even though Colton Dixon has had this award-winning music career, even though he's gone multi-platinum, even though he found the woman of his dreams, he's gone through some major disappointments. Just because somebody seems like a fast success doesn't mean they haven't walked through the longest night ever. Join us for this episode because we're going to show you how to slay the giants in your life to get the future God's has for you.
TRAUMA! It’s real and we’ve all experienced some level of it. I've got my friend, Cherie Rickard with me She's so unassuming and sweet and amazing. And when you meet her, she seems so vibrant and confident and amazing. You'd never know that she got a phone call one day that completely changed her life. It tried to slay her. It tried to take her out. But those are the places where our faith is tried. And here's the crazy thing. We believe we’re faith-filled people, right? But we don't really know until we get pinched or twisted or something goes wrong. Because faith isn't just walking through everyday life, and faith isn't just believing in God. Faith is believing that God is who He is and that he can get us through anything when everything looks wrong. So you might be thinking, oh, that's me. Everything looks wrong right now or I just got news or I just got a text or… Okay. First of all, stop. Take a deep breath. Know that God has intersected with you. Right now, you are in the right place at the right time to get the right information. We're going to take you from the pain to the promise in a real, raw and organic way. Let’s go!
Nobody believes what you say more than you do. And out of every voice in the world, the voice you believe the most is yours. We can't make everybody happy. But the problem isn’t with the people who hate us. It’s when we just don't like ourselves - when we don't think we're good enough, cute enough, smart enough, old enough, young enough, talented enough. So why don't you like you? Today, I'm bringing on a guest that is amazing. This woman owns two Christian radio stations. She's a morning show host. She has over 500,000 people listen to her every day. You would think this girl would have incredible confidence. But instead, my friend, Sandi Brown, wrote an entire book about how she didn't like herself. But you know what? I love that she didn't stay in that place. But she found a way out. And we're going to lead you out of that place today. Let’s go!
When the dream gets hard, are we going to give up or RISE up? Pastor Nicole teaches us what to do when the dream gets tough. God doesn’t want us to quit on our dreams. He wants us to THANK Him in the circumstances we don’t like. God is already ahead of the trouble in front of us. We don’t realize it, but we weren’t inconvenienced; He REPOSITIONED us. Don’t give up on the dream. Trust God and dream A MILLION DREAMS.
Wouldn't it be amazing to have a personal genie who would grant our wishes? “Genie, clean my house, rub my husband's back, cook dinner, rub my feet.” Oh, that would be amazing! The problem is, genies are not real. But I do know somebody with some real power. God's power is very real and it can literally change your life. The thing is, sometimes we really do treat God as if He’s a genie. “I need you to straighten out my kids. I need you to bring me some finances. I need you to heal my body. Got a whole to-do list for you, God.” The amazing thing is God wants to help us. He wants to have His power at work on our life, but there's no magic involved… just faith. I believe you are watching today on purpose and that you're about your to have your own encounter with God's power. My friend, Chad Mattson, is here to tell you his story. What God did for him, he can do for you.
Nobody believes what you say more than you do. And out of every voice in the world, the voice you believe the most is yours. We can't make everybody happy. But the problem isn’t with the people who hate us. It’s when we just don't like ourselves - when we don't think we're good enough, cute enough, smart enough, old enough, young enough, talented enough. So why don't you like you? Today, I'm bringing on a guest that is amazing. This woman leads two Christian radio stations. She's a morning show host. She has over 500,000 people listen to her every day.

Do you ever feel like you're stuck in the middle? We watch our best friend have a baby. We watch another good friend get a promotion. We watch our cousin earn their doctorate degree, and we didn't even go to college. And we think, what about me? I mean, I've been working. I've been struggling and bending over backwards to do all the things, and nobody is even paying attention to the fact that I do have some talent and I do matter... Is anybody seeing my hard work? Today my guest is Joel Smallbone of the band King And Country and actor and director of the hit movie, "Unsung Hero." He is the middle child in a big family and his sister is the celebrated singer, Rebecca St. James. She's was making it big while he's over on the sideline going, "but I can sing!" He wanted to share his gift with the world, but he wasn't an overnight success. So today you are feeling stuck like a middle child, or somebody overlooked, or somebody supporting somebody else, or like everybody else has got the middle of the cookie but you don't... I want to remind you that sometimes the best part, it's in the middle, and God knows just the right time for you to enjoy it. Are you ready? Let's go.
Don’t judge your life by where you are now, because where you are now is not where God is taking you. Transitions in life are real and they are hard! So I found a friend who just did a movie as an executive producer but she didn’t start there. She was once D.J. Tanner from Full House. She was ‘Deej’ and she always had this resolution at the end. And she was always this great teenager who was in the right place and doing the right thing. I didn’t know she could be a boss!!! Candace Cameron Bure laid it all down in Hollywood to go home and be a stay-at-home mom for a decade and came back stronger than ever starring in, like, a billion movies on the Hallmark Channel and started producing movies. It’s all about how we handle transition. She recently produced a movie called “Unsung Hero” that went number two at the box office. Change can be hard, but it can also make you successful. So today I want you to talk with her about some of these transitions in life and how you can do it as well. Are you ready? Let’s go!
We got into our happy place, and we started thinking how do we bring people happiness? Joy? How do we get them laughing again? She Laughs - The 2024 I Am Woman Conference is coming! It's going to be in Saint Louis, Missouri on June 7th and 8th. We're going to be in West Palm Beach, Florida on July 12th and 13th. And no matter where you are in the world, we're going to be online.

Tickets are going fast and I don't want you to miss it. So call a friend, text them right now and get online and go to iamwoman.tv/2024. You are going to love this.
I believe that an ounce of prevention is a whole pound of cure. I have this whole tackle box of vitamins because of it! Here's my prayer for you: that you never get sick, that nobody in your family is ever sick, and that you never get the call, or that diagnosis that can really make you panic as you walk into a health battle. Today I'm going to introduce you to my friend, Susan Malzoni. She breeds horses. I used to breed horses. She's a horse enthusiast. I'm a horse enthusiast. We love animals. We love health. We are like best friends now! She has this amazing vitamin company and today we want to talk to you about this really important topic. We're teaching you how simple it can be to take preventative measures. Are you ready to tackle your health? Let's go.
They say there's two significant days in a person's life. The first day is when they're born. The second day it's when they find out why. I want you to find your purpose. But, what if you're not feeling the passion? What if you don't know what your purpose is? What if you're panicking about it? It feels like this world is super competitive now with social media and everything, right? We get the highlight reels of everybody's life and we're wondering, what about us? Am I going to be successful in life? Am I going to get to have a career? There's a proven principle that really works. Today, you're going to get to sit down with a person that you never thought you would get to sit down with—CJ Cook. He knows all the celebs. He knows all the things. He knows all the people. He's so cool. But you don't necessarily know him because he's the “behind the scenes” guy. Maybe he feels like there's no purpose in that. Maybe he feels like he's living his exact purpose. Actually he's living a really cool life and he's going to help you live yours, help you find your purpose amongst ALL the circumstances. Let’s go!
Do you know that there is one thing that will solve every problem, no matter what your problem is? It's wisdom. It’s refreshing when we have somebody who's been through what we're going through and they know the way out, and they can show us the path and they can tell us the potholes to miss. Well, I hope that you're ready today because we have a wise man with us - the one and only, John Maxwell. He's written 90 leadership books, sold over 37 million of them in 50 languages. He is the best-selling non-fiction author in the entire world. And he's also my leadership coach and my mentor. He literally drips wisdom and leadership knowledge through every single sentence. Are you ready to pick up some wisdom? Let's go!
Do you want your life to matter? I do! I want people to remember me well! But how often are we intentional about the legacy that we're setting up for the next generation? We get so caught up in the moment and don't really think in the future. Today, we're going to talk about legacy. And to do that, my friend Shannon Nieman is here. Her mom went to heaven without a lot of notice. But her mom did such an amazing job at setting up legacy and no matter who you are, you can, too. We're going to talk about how legacy lives in you and through you, and what God wants to do in you. Are you ready to imprint your future? Let's go.
Is trying to get too much done at one time and running as fast as you can making you feel burned out. You're at the end of your rope, and you feel like you've taken on so much to even keep up. You think you have to take on more. How do you keep running at this pace? I've got a friend with me today, Josh Joines, who pastors a church in Baytown, Texas with unbelievable excellence. He and his wife, Kara, have one of the fastest growing churches in America. In a time when the whole church world is still recovering from COVID, their church grew almost 2000 people in just one year. Well, I'm glad that they could do that because they wouldn't have been able to do that if Josh hadn't learned to slow down, live in rhythms and not balance. Now, he coaches other people to establish healthy habits in their lives and in your life so that when we get through a rough patch because, when that happens, our rhythms sustain us through the difficult times. We're going to beat burnout together. Are you ready? Let's go.
When you hear the word treasure, what jumps up in your mind? Is it Jack Sparrow? He's swashbuckling across the Caribbean, searching for treasure, pulling out his sword on the Black Pearl. Maybe you've been searching for something. Maybe you feel like something's missing in your life. Community, people, meaningful relationships, maybe? I want to help you find that right now. Let's go!
We’re doing something that has never, ever been done. For the first time in 100 years, we’re going backstage at Miss America and sitting down to hear their stories. Including the ultimate winner, Miss Colorado, Madison Marsh!!! And what I found out about these girls is that they are deep wells. They aren't pretty faces with shallow insides. They are astrophysicists. They are people who have survived police brutality, losing their parents to cancer. So many different things.. poverty, drug addiction with their parents. You have no idea what these girls have gone through. And yet they're working on living their dream. I want you to be inspired to dream some more. I want you to be inspired to live your dreams. You might not make it the first time. But let your loss be your lesson and you try again! Maybe you can get up one more time and you can dream really big. Let’s go!
Success is closer than we think. Learn how to focus your vision to achieve the dream.
Christmas can be the hardest time of the year for a lot of people. Life is changing. A transition is happening. You may or may not have the people in your life you thought would be here for the holiday, and it's one of the times when we really lose hope. My friend, Christy Wright, worked with Dave Ramsey for over 12 years. She flew all over America speaking in corporate environments. She's kind of a big deal. Then there was this shift in her life, this huge change in her career. Her son gets a diagnosis, and she went from being very hopeful to maybe feeling a little hopeless. So what do you do when hope is lost? Are you ready to go from hopeless to hopeful and start to hope again? Let's go!

I want to reveal the recipe for the secret sauce that will take you from being a Goal Setter to an actual Goal Getter!
NO ONE gets married thinking they're going to get divorced, right? And man, divorce is just so hard! How are you going to ever heal up from the things that were said, and the ideas of the life that you thought you were going to have with that person? How can that ever be okay? Well, actually, I have a friend who's going to join me today, and we're going to talk really candidly about divorce because she walked through a really tough situation, a really bad divorce. And the question kind of was, can I ever be okay again after divorce? And believe it or not, you can not just be okay… You can be better. I know you might not think it's possible, but we're going to help you get there today and we're going to talk about how to be even better after divorce. Are you ready? Let's go.
Transition is hard!!! We transition from apartment to house, place to place, job to job, relationship to relationship from time to time through traffic. I mean, transition is just everywhere. Have you ever been in the middle of something? God sees you in the middle. He has a plan, and even though you can't see it, He saw it before you were even born. So don't sweat it, okay? You're going to be okay. You're not where you want to be. But we're not where we used to be. Our footsteps are ordered by the Lord, so just keep stepping. He's going to guide you to exactly where you're supposed to be. Are you ready? We're taking you through the pain to the promise in a real, raw and organic way with my friend, Delynn Rizzo this week. Let's go!
Do you feel like you're on the verge of losing your relationship with your child? Maybe they've already walked away and they're out doing who knows what you are the one out doing who knows what with God knows who. And that's okay. I've been you. I'm not here to tell you that parenting is hard forever. Parenting is the most rewarding thing you will ever do. It is the hardest thing you will ever do. The second hardest thing is being a kid, right? I want to let you know that you're going to make it through this. I'm having a conversation today with my friend, Farrah Taylor. Her daughter, Alex, is gorgeous. Stunning. Beautiful! For some reason, she walked away from everything her parents had taught her, and her parents had to watch her walk through some really dark days, some depression, some drugs, and some abusive relationships. How do you navigate those kinds of waters with your children? How do you ever get back if you're one of those kids? That's what we're going to talk about today. Are you ready? Let's go.
In one second God can shift you from waiting on it to living in it. I know there's so many moments you want in life that you're waiting for, right? But it seems like everybody else is getting what you want. It feels like everybody else is getting married and you're still single. Everybody else is having babies and you're still trying. Everybody else is getting promoted and you're being overlooked. Everybody else is getting likes and comments and social status on social media. When is it your turn? I have my friends with me today, Joe L Barnes. He's a Grammy winner. He's from Mav City. He's written all the songs and it seems like it just came quickly. It just came easy. Right place, right time. Right? No, he was actually living with some friends, and they were getting the opportunities. They were getting the song rights. They were getting invited on albums, they were getting on tours. And he was waiting. But it was so worth the wait. I believe God connected us today because He's wanting you to know it's worth the wait. Are you ready? Let's go.
Have you ever wanted to quit? Well, my friend, you are not alone. I think we all have at one time or another. But what can we do to develop the grit not to quit when things get hard. What about when we're serving someone else's vision while we have a dream in our heart and it just doesn't seem to be within reach? What do you do when you feel like quitting then? My friend, Bianca Olthoff, is with me this week. She is an influencer. She is a bestselling author. She has a podcast and gets like all the good people on her podcast. I don't know how she does this! She is a pastor. She is an international conference speaker, and she is here to share her story of how she developed the grit not to quit when things seem to get tough and her dreams still seemed far, far away. If you've ever been frustrated with the journey of getting to where you want to be, I bet you'll be surprised with where we're going today, although I think it will surprise you. Let’s go!
Starting something new is really hard!!! Especially when you have to begin AGAIN, it's just like, UGH! But sometimes beginning again is really worth it. You need to hear from my friend, Tauren Wells. He can dance like Justin Timberlake. He can sing like Bruno Mars. He's a little bit of Michael Jackson, and he loves Jesus with all of his heart. And you'd think with all this stuff that he's already accomplished, like, why would he start something new and mortgage it all and put it on the line? But he is! He and his wife are leaving Houston and Lakewood Church, and they're planning their own church in Austin, Texas. If Tauren can begin again, if I can walk through divorce, if I can walk through being a pregnant, unwed mother, then you can begin again, too. You’re going to rise!!!
What if I told you that I could show you the way to the fountain of youth? But more than looking young, it’s feeling young, feeling energetic, not hurting, and having the energy and the life and the vitality to do all the things you've always wanted to do. My friend, Dr. James Meehan, helps us get to the root cause of what's going on in our bodies so we can heal it the most natural way that we can. God is a natural God and He uses medicine, I’m not against medicine at all. Use it if you need it. But if it's not curing what you've got, maybe God's got something else that He has to help you. If you're ready to feel better, look better, have more energy and you want to know what is with this hormone thing, you’re in the right place. Let’s go!
We’re going behind the scenes for a chat with the Broadway cast and crew of WICKED for the Season 10 Premier of The Nicole Crank Show!!! It’s incredible how often it’s just in us to look at other people and decide they are bad, nasty, or a worse sinner than us… that they are WICKED. But we… are popular. We’ll just about pay any price to win people's approval but often don’t what's right for others. So we’re doing the coolest thing. We’re sitting down with the cast and the crew to talk about it and get a glimpse of what it’s like to be a part of a story so WICKED! I can't wait for you to meet my new friends. Grab a coffee, get comfy and let’s go!
We’re called to have an abundant life. Pastor Nicole teaches us how to call in our healing. Don’t let the devil tell you that you aren’t qualified for healing. God doesn’t heal us because we’re good, He heals because He’s good. Know your rights. Speak God’s promises! We serve a God who heals!
Are you going to let the pain keep you from what you really want? Pastor Nicole reminds us, that sometimes, "Pain can be good for you." God's promise is definitely worth the pain.
Labels do NOT determine the content. Stop listening to the labels and what "they" say about you and start being the person God called you to be. After all, you believe what you say about more than what they do. So, start speaking love and joy into your life. Your future is in your own mouth. What are you saying about yourself?
Are you stuck wondering what to do even though God has told you what you’re supposed to do? Overthinking and fear only seek to keep you from the greatest things you are meant to do, achieve and see. Sometimes, you just have to listen to the Expert, prepare, and obey.
Have you ever said that when the situation got worse? When the problem seemed bigger than you could handle? Pastor Nicole Crank leads us on an investigation to find the invisible hand of God. Let’s search together and find proof of how big our God really is!
Is there something in your life that you feel uncomfortable about but deep down you know you have to take a step of faith to move forward to the next level with God? This is for you.
How would you like to access more POWER and be effective in everything you do? Power positions, power relationships, and powerful lives may not be what you think. Pastor Nicole Crank shows us how to live a truly powerful life by, first, taking our POSITION. So many times, we think we know what that is. But, the truth may surprise you! Learn the secrets that will propel you into a powerful purpose-filled life!
Do you feel like you’ve MISSED something? Lost something? Had something stolen from you? Have you wasted a great opportunity? When you think you’ve hit ROCK BOTTOM, God has a gift for you. He’s going to give you another chance to GO BACK and pick it up. But, God will only give you as much REVELATION as you seek out.
Do you remember when you were a little kid and you thought you could be Superman, Wonder Woman, an astronaut, a doctor, and a brain surgeon like all in the same week? We thought we could do anything. What shifted that thinking? What made us begin thinking that maybe we weren't enough? I think it's two words: limiting beliefs. Our guest has accomplished some really great things. She was on American Idol and then she toured with Katie Perry for four years singing, and then she topped the Christian charts! But she had to keep herself from getting stuck in some beliefs that were ingrained in her when she was a child. She could have stayed stuck there. She had to open up her mind and allow the opportunity to occur to her that she could do more. Through God, you can do all things. Do you wish you could have childlike faith again? It's possible to remove these barriers and these boundaries because God has more for you in this life.
Confidence is what we get when we step out in FAITH. Not risking failure means there’s no risk for success, either. Don’t allow your pain to block the POTENTIAL that other people see in you. Everyone has confidence issues, from time to time. Knowing what REAL confidence is… helps us know what it ISN’T.
Ever had a work or friend environment where it was hard to be you? My friend, Victoria Jackson, had to work with a little motley crew. People who maybe had some different values than her and may have pressured her a little bit to be like them instead of her being her. How do you deal with people who slither like snakes, give you pressure to be who you're not and ask you to do things that are way outside your comfort zone? Can you even succeed in an environment like that? She was on Saturday Night Live and is going to show us how, with grace and with mercy and with love, you can deal with some tough people and maybe even soften them up on your way to the top. She made it all the way folks. And so can you!
Have you ever had an injury you needed to wrap a bandage around it? The purpose of the bandage is to stop the bleeding. Our heart gets wounded, we get hurt, and we want to keep it from hurting. So we add a little bit more bandage and a little bit more bandage, and then we don't want to take the bandage off because it might stick to the scab of our heart. So we just leave the bandage on and then we get hurt again. And the same cycle keeps happening and we keep wrapping another bandage on and another bandage on to protect ourselves until eventually our bandages become bondages and our whole heart, our whole mind are completely bound with the things that we thought were fixing us. My friend Brenda Epperson Moore is going to tell you her story. She’s a soap opera star, a singer, and writer who faced her own trauma that led her down a path of bondage. She found a way to get free and she’s going to share it with you so you can take your bandages and bondages off and experience freedom!
I just gets so emotional! I mean, when things happen, are you supposed to express it? Are you supposed to just shove it inside? Are you supposed to get angry? Because sometimes I get really mad about what's going on, but you just want to cry and try to hold it in and keep moving forward anyway. Isn't that what we're taught? Right? Suck it up buttercup! Put your emotions on the inside. Be bulletproof on the outside. Never let 'em see you sweat. But did you know your emotions - even your negative emotions - they can be a gift. That is what we're talking about today with my friend, Anthony Skinner. He’s going to walk us through our eight core emotions and I think you will be surprised at what they are. I love when we get to talk about how God and science come together, and today we're going from the pain – and the drain – to the promise. Stick around because I doubt you have heard a conversation like this one.
Confidence is what we get when we step out in FAITH. Not risking failure means there’s no risk for success, either. Don’t allow your pain to block the POTENTIAL that other people see in you.
Did you know back in the day I was a single parent? I get what it’s like to be worried you’re going to jack your kids up. Or maybe how bad you DID! You aren’t alone. Pretty much all moms and dad think that. My friend, movie star, movie producer, and bestselling author, Devon Franklin. is joining me and we're going to talk about growing up. He had a single mom after his dad passed away. And although his mom didn't meet all of his needs as a single mom, she did a better job than she thought she did. And I know you're doing better today than you think you are. Maybe nobody told you that lately. Today, that changes. So I want you to get comfy and settle in for today's show because I know it's going to be just the beginning of the encouragement that you need to keep going, keep growing, and keep investing in the lives of your children and give yourself some grace on the journey. Let's go.
Who’s read for an adventure? We're going to go pet the sharks. We're going to go pick up Iguanas. We're going
to go play with… swimming pigs. Why? Because your life is an adventure. You're not supposed to stay home in your boredom. No, you're supposed to be in your business, in your boardroom. God has a STEP UP for you. God has a STEP out for you. That's why I invite
you on the adventure today. Let's go!
Have you ever been in a place where you were believing God for something but you can't see it yet? I mean, you're in the midst of waiting to SEE what you have faith FOR. My friend Mayra Rodriguez was in a car accident, and it was serious! It left her in daily pain. And though she's believing God for complete healing, she's still in the midst of that faith walk. And that's why I want to introduce you to her because she hasn't gotten it yet, but she's on her way. So what do you do when you're on your way? Mayra is going to see the end of what she's believing for. She's believing that God will do all He has promised even when she can’t see it. What are you in the middle of? We're going from the pain to the promise in a real raw and organic way. We're gong to pray for you! Are you ready? Let's go.
FIGHTING and FAMILY - two words that usually don’t go well together. Unless you are UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir. He is a great family man and He’s here to talk to us today about it. I want to toss a new idea in the ring for you today to consider: Maybe family is worth fighting for. Family might even be worth, I don't know, saying no to something else on the calendar so you have time together to really focus on what matters. I want you to hear from a strong man, a strong male figure who will fight fiercely for his family. He fights in the ring and he fights for family. So if you're ready to take it to the mats and win your family over, let's go.
As you’re hustling through life, do you ever wish you had somebody who could coach you through that thing you can't get over. Maybe you have this broken record playing over and over in your head telling you why you could never do that thing like starting the business or reaching that success. It's tripped you up in the past and maybe it IS your past. My friend, Terri Savelle Foy, is a bestselling author, founder of an international ministry and a success coach to thousands around the world. And guess what? Today you get her all to yourself. So grab your pencil and a notepad. Why? Because when you write things down, it goes 70% deeper into your brain. After all, you do want to change your life, right? I know you do. And that's why you're here. Terri's going to give you some key things that are going to improve the speed to reaching your dreams. Let's go!
You can be happy right NOW, before everything works out. Pastor Nicole shares the secret to our biggest breakthrough. It’s the power of staying right where we are.
Do you have issues with anger? Do you live with somebody that has issues with anger? We try to play it cool and occasionally it still comes out. So every now and then you have to get with an expert - somebody who knows about anger, somebody who knows about emotions, somebody who knows what to do with them. An expert can tell us how to handle our anger. I've got a friend, his name is Dr. Randy Powell. He coaches CEO’s and mega pastors. He has five locations from California to Dallas and a staff that works with every kind of person that you can think of. He's somebody that I know that I can have a safe conversation. Where do you go when you're angry? How do you learn how to manage your emotions and make them healthy so that you can be healthy for you for other people? Learn how to handle our anger issues. Are you ready? Let's go.
Today my guest is a leader, author, beautiful entrepreneur. She's a literal rockstar and a she's a pastor of a church. But her journey to leadership is not what you would expect. It was rocky. It was hard. It happened through a sudden tragedy in her family, and she was left wondering, “God, where are you in all of this?” She found herself having to lead through a lot of pain. Sometimes pain can make you feel unqualified, but you don't have to sit on the back burner of life until you feel whole again. We are going to take the reins of life back from the pain and learn to lead.
Don’t worry! (is that even possible?!?) Worry has this way of sneaking in and just trying to take over and get in charge of our lives. But did you know that God actually tells us not to worry in the Bible? I mean, that's something nice to read and a great concept, but how do we do that? Come on, God, don't you know everything I have to deal with? But he didn't just tell us not to worry. He actually gave us an answer for it - prayer. Prayer can sound daunting and it kind of makes me worry all by itself. But it's actually an amazing way to let go of the worry and take hold of some peace.. I've got a friend joining me who's one of the most influential Christian voices around the world. He influences the influencers and his name is Chad Veach. He did a whole study about worry and wrote a book about it. Discover how prayer powerfully prevents worry with us. Let’s go!
Even if, we were originally planted on the wrong side of town in the crack of a dirty sidewalk, if we’re rooted and grounded in Jesus, God can cause us to blossom and flourish so much that others have to take notice. Our season of blooming is here, right now!
We’re up close and personal on the red carpet this week with film producer Andy Erwin and director of “Jesus Revolution” Brent McCorkle. This incredible movie starring Kelsie Grammer (Frasier, ya’ll) is out THIS WEEK and you need to see this! We’re getting real and raw as we hear the inside scoop of the story behind the story. God is moving in Hollywood and He can move in you right where you are!
Are you ready? Let’s go to the movies!
Life isn’t about a destination. It’s about a journey. And that journey can be rough! We can get so consumed with the getting to the big destinations of life that we miss the big parts of the journey itself. You might be stuck right now in the middle of just wanting some sleep because these kids are AHHH! If they could just dress themselves or maybe once these teenage kids move out and they stop driving me crazy, I’ll be happy! If we keep waiting on the “when”... If it’s “I'll be happy when” we just might miss the beauty of the journey. Let's not be happy “when.” Let's be happy today on the way to where we're going. Take a journey with us.
Nobody can drive us crazy unless we let them. How do we get peace before we go to pieces? When we flip out, we have a God ready to help us calm down. Let His peace lead every decision and watch every circumstance change.
Everybody has been hurt. Everybody has had painful things said and done to them. And then… we get to figure out how to forgive them. You might think, “Is it worth it?” YES! The only way to find freedom from our past is to find it in FORGIVENESS. Unforgiveness only anchors us there and so we’re cutting the ties! How? My friend who is a vocalist, author, and preacher, Alex Seeley, is with me and she has an amazing story of how unforgivenss affected every area of her life since childhood and you’re going to relate on so many levels. But she found freedom and so can you. Are you ready to let go of the baggage and pain and go to the promise?
I absolutely love to WIN!!! Don’t you?! But I don’t always love the process. Those mostly unseen, struggling, fighting, sweating, ‘am I going to ever get there’ moments that make us want to quit. Anyone else been there but me? I was once bankrupt, homeless, divorced and single mom feeling like getting the dream must be for someone else. But I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to stay in the grind never getting your goals. You CAN really get your dreams!!! In the season 5 premiere of The Nicole Crank Show, we’re learning how to PLAN to reach our goals. If we want to WIN, we need a process to get to the promise. Get your mind set. Anything is possible! You’re about to go from being a goal setter to an actual Goal Getter!
Maybe you are walking through something and you wish somebody would say the right thing but they just keep making it worse. How do we expect people to act? How do we act? How do we get out of grief when someone goes to heaven unexpectedly? Today, my friend Jillian Chambers is going to share the process of walking through widowhood and help us go from the pain to the promise.
It’s the holidays so grab a cup of coffee or hot cocoa, get in your comfy spot and settle in for “Christmas With The Cranks.” The whole family (including Liam!) join me this week in Jackson Hole, Wyoming talking about the stuff of Christmas. The stress, the joy, and the memories of Christmas past, present, and future are all a part of the family discussion (who knows what they will say?!). Wherever you are, we can’t wait to walk from the pain to the promise with you!
Every little girl dreams of her wedding day. But for some of us, that day seems to be taking too long to get here. Waiting is hard! I don't even like waiting in the grocery store line. Who gets the perfect mate? Who gets the perfect job? Because good enough should be close enough. Right? …Wrong! I know it feels hard waiting, but God really does have a plan for your life and that plan does not include settling. I know you've been on this journey of not settling. I know you think you're ready for this thing, but what if the best thing is right around the corner? What if God's plan for your life is so worth the wait?!? My friend, Stephanie Ike Okafor, is here to tell her story. She looks like a supermodel and is a successful, smart pastor who was single for a long time. She waited, trusted God, rocked the single life, and found Mr. right. She’s here to encourage you not to settle!
We’re going into the ring with a champion Frank Mir is with us and we're talking about how to make a comeback. This guy is a two time heavyweight champion and He knows everything about making a comeback. He understands what it’s like to get knocked down. Most people don't know about his motorcycle accident. They don't know that he wasn't supposed to walk again. They don't know about the depression. They don't know about getting addicted to pain medications. He’s here to tell his story to give you the faith that even when you think everything you’ve lived for is gone, you can get back up and walk into the promise of your future. If life has knocked you down, be encouraged, it's time for you to make your comeback.
Is the struggle super real for you or are you living in the lap of success? I've got some struggle in my life and I know you have, too. But it's fun to look around and see some success. It's exciting, right? If they can do it, we can do it too! Because with God, we can do all things. This week, we have somebody who you would not expect! She has choreographed for Michael Jackson, worked with Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion – P Diddy, the Puff Daddy himself! Does faith matter to them? How did they get where they are? Has it been a struggle? And how did they get success? And how when you get to the level of success, do you walk through this struggle of that daily life and maybe even that daily faith. Laurieann Gibson is here, Boom Kack! She's is going be honest with you about what she's walked through and encourage you that if she can do it, so can you!
Description- Being a parent is HARD! I remember playing ‘house’ when I was a kid and the real thing is wayyyy different. I’m in Bordeaux, France at a beautiful house, well, chateaux that is more incredible than I could have imagined when I was little – just like raising kids has been! But parenting takes sacrifice, there are tough days and the laundry piles up, and… all the things! My friend, Kristen Wilkerson, is with me and she has 3 little ones and knows what it’s like. We are going to help you go from the pain to the promise in a real way. If you’re a mom, grandmother, or want to be, this episode is for you! Let’s go!
Are you feeling OVERWHELMED? Burnout is a real thing. I know I’ve been on the edge and if you’ve looked around and all seems lost and you don’t know what to do or how to do it, the Season 8 Premiere is just for YOU! if you've been a little bit overwhelmed, you can overcome it. I've got a friend who's going to talk about being overwhelmed and getting out of the depths of that drowning sea and actually living again, breathing again, enjoying life again. My friend, Liz Sarno, is here and she helps pastor Relevant Church in Daytona. She is the administrator of an academy that she started it from the ground up, y'all. And she's a mom, she's a wife, she's an author…she does everything. And today, you're going get all up in the business of her burnout because you are going from over it to OVERCOMING!
God loves you and wants you SO MUCH! He created you to be part of His family. He wants you whole, healed, and redeemed! He sent His son Jesus to give His life to make it happen. You are wanted!
was given up by my dad before I was born - statistic. Molested at 10 - statistic. Raped at 13 - statistic. A pregnant, unwed mother at 17. I should have been a statistic. But…God! He specializes in statistics and we all feel like one sometimes. Did you know there are over 11 million kids in America living under the poverty line with little chance of ever leaving it? The enemy wants to keep them and us there but we are breaking that mold TODAY! There’s a calling on each one of them and with the help of my friend, Shaun Banks, we’re going to reach them. We don’t serve a God of coincidence. We serve a God of intentionality and He’s after you! You are not a statistic. You’re a STAR!!! Go with us as we learn to shine brightly.
What has God told you to do that you just haven’t? Pastor Nicole Crank explains why you’re not just called to survive — you’re called to THRIVE!
40 Days Of Faith at In His Presence Church
We tend to limit ourselves by what someone else has. Find what’s stopping you, address it, and learn to reprogram it. If God said you can do it, then you can do it!
Connecting the spirit, soul, and body.
Your past doesn’t define you. It prepares you for your future.
The One that we think we don’t need is the only one that can fix our hurts. It doesn’t matter how much love you’ve leaked. Jesus is there to fill you back up and He’s never going to leave you!
Are you BUILDING your house out of straw, or on JESUS, our Chief Cornerstone? You may feel BROKEN… but inside of you is the real hidden TREASURE!
Ever gone to a country with a different language? Navigating and communicating can be difficult because everything is in a foreign language right?!? But after being immersed in the culture for a while, the foreign becomes familiar. The faith life can be that way, too. Brother Kenneth Copeland, a spiritual father of mine, is with us this week and he lived a life that will absolutely blow you away. He once was a chart-topping singer and commercial pilot and now he flies around the world singing and preaching for Jesus. He taught David Crank and I how to live the life of faith and how faith-dreams can come true and it can happen for you, too! We want to take you from feeling like the faith life is foreign to the familiar – walking in it every day!
Has God called you to something you don’t want to do? We run the race we do in life because we like to do it our way! Have you ever told God that? “I want to do it MY WAY!” Sometimes we get running and we get off track or look around and feel like we’re getting nowhere. Here’s the good news. With God, when He positions you for your perfect ‘yes,’ you may feel like you’re going slower, but you’re actually going faster. My friend, Tim Timberlake, is with us and he pastors an amazing church in Florida and tons of people are coming to Jesus. But when God first called him… well, you’ll have to watch to find out. I don’t know what you’re walking through, how fast or slow it’s going, but I know God wants to take you from the pain to the promise. Let’s go!
Help! I’m stuck in prison and there’s no one to help! Have you been feeling this way because of something you’ve done or that’s been done to you? This week, I had the chance to minister to some people in a real prison in Cartegena, Columbia. And you may not be in a real prison - maybe you’re in a mental or emotional prison - but that can be just as real and scary. The good news is that people in prison are exactly who Jesus died for. We’re taking time this week to help, to love, to encourage the downtrodden as we enter a real prison with my friend, Miguel Arrízola. Along the journey, I think you’ll go from the pain to the promise with us. Let’s go!
Why does my leap of faith always look so BIG?!? Anyone else thinking this? Taking that step can seem so hard. The good news is you don’t have to take it alone. I’m with you and so is my friend, Stephen Chandler. He’s taken several BIG leaps of faith and his story will encourage you. If God can use him and a girl like me who grew up on a gravel road, He can use you, too!
Hey there single friends! Ever heard that there’s plenty of fish in the sea?? 🐟If you’re like me, I wondered if there are so many, why is it so hard to find MINE?!? Don’t give up if you’re still looking for yours. I guarantee you there isn’t just somebody out there for you, there’s a PERFECT body out there for you. The journey may feel like you’re out in the ocean but you’re not!! My friend, Savannah Lindell, and I are here to help you find yours. Let’s go!
If you’ve ever walked in the valley of the shadow of death you know it’s tough to feel strong in the power of the Lord. You may even feel a little weak…a little slow…maybe even scared. Isn’t it great that God meets us in the place of our weakness! My friend, Michelle Ferguson, was in a major valley. Her diagnosis made her feel in that shadow but God taught her to FEAR NO EVIL! I believe God connected us today because you’re walking through it and God has a way that you can feel STRONG even though the shadow has you feeling creepy and afraid. But that’s just it, with the help of Jesus, you’re going THROUGH it. God will lead you out!!!
Did you know some brain surgeries are done while the patient is AWAKE? 🤯 If you’re going to do brain surgery, you need a brain surgeon and we have one with us this week, Dr. Avery Jackson! We’re talking about the science of the mind because, after all, it’s God’s language! Many of us have issues with how we think: anxiety, fear, depression, and negative thinking. How do we break out from patterns of thought? What is physical, brain matter, and what is thought-related? Can one change the other? We’re going from the pain to the promise this week to change what happens in your mind. If we can change the way we think, we can change the way we live!
Do you ever get so preoccupied with the things you want out of life and what you’re missing that you don’t see what you DO have? Sometimes it takes us going to dirty places to realize the blessings we take for granted. You’re going to hear stories this week of beautiful girls in situations that aren’t beautiful. Come with me and my friend, Maria Paula Arrázola, on an island outside of Cartegena, Columbia to a place where prostitution is legal for those over 18 and underage girls are routinely trafficked to do things that should never happen. I want to take you on a journey you’ve never been on before to a place bringing help and safety in the middle of it all. Go with us as we sow some hope!
Do you ever get awestruck by the WONDER of God? We can get lost in the mundane of life and miss the wonderful moments God has for you. That’s why we have the I Am Woman WONDER Conference coming in June 10-11 in St. Louis, MO and July 15-16 in West Palm Beach, FL. If you’re ready for God to do something in your life, check out this week’s episode, “Dream Again,” with Dr. Anita Phillips, Lisa Harper, and Terri Savelle Foy and go get your tickets at iamwoman.tv/2022 today! Are you ready? Let’s go!!!
Don’t let guilt keep you from your purpose. Let God’s voice be louder than the guilt. He’s already given us the grace to completely erase it.
Have you been weeping night after night, waiting for the joy that’s supposed to come in the morning? You’ve heard it’s right around the corner, but you can’t see it! God is up in heaven, and He says there’s good around that corner. Are you willing to trust Him? Maybe you don’t know how to take the next step. That’s why my friend and chart-topping artist, Danny Gokey, is here this week to tell His story of losing his wife unexpectedly right before he was going to audition for American Idol. We’re going to encourage you, make you laugh, and maybe make you cry, but you’re going to get where you need to be; moving from the pain to the promise!
Pain, loss, and grief can build up inside of us and can burst out of us like a waterfall in sometimes unhealthy ways. Emotions are real and they can be HARD TO PROCESS! You might be navigating some painful moments but know this: God wants to help you process them for purpose and help you start flowing through life again. My friend, Sharai Thomas, is here to tell her story of how God took her from the pain to the promise. He took what the enemy meant for evil and turned it for her good and He’ll do the same for you!
Have you ever had a WHALE of a problem in life? One that feels like it comes in and swallows you after someone threw you

You may be looking at some deep, dark depression, darkness, and distraught but we're here to take you from the pain to the promise. We see whales, but sometimes it’s the grace of God that swallows us up. He’s going to meet you where you are and get you to the future you were created for!
Does this season of your life have you feeling stuck and alone? What do you do when you don’t know what to do and you’re calling for help but no one seems to answer? God is already there in your ‘dip.’ He got there before you did and even when you can’t figure out how to steady yourself, He reminds us that He has us! My friend, Pastor Shaun Nepstad, is here to encourage you when the reality in front of you doesn’t match the dream that’s inside of you. You’re coming out! Don’t quit in the dip!!!
Has God ever told you to do the impossible? Think bigger and take the limits off God. Build up crazy faith and see what God can do!
I BUNGEE JUMPED!!! Yes, it was SCARY (and a little CRAZY). But think about all the wonderful moments we’d miss out on if we didn’t just JUMP anyway. On this week’s show, we’re learning that we can’t let the past affect our future. God will take the ashes of your life and make them BEAUTIFUL.

Are you wondering about your purpose in life? Do you know what your gift is? I've been thinking that maybe mine is as a grammy award-winning vocalist!

(NOT) I crashed the Legendary Sound Studio where John Michael Howell and Ashtyn Crank are recording their new single, "All I Feel is You" to talk about finding our purpose and flowing in our gifting. I want to hear from you. Do you know your purpose and gifting? If you don't, what are you doing about it?
Does it feel like you’re stumbling around through life? Maybe tripping over things in the relationship and everything seems to be going south? Is it possible to fail forward?

EMERGENCY! God, I need you right here, RIGHT NOW! Do your prayers ever sound like this? I know mine have. Something happens that we never expected and we wonder if God will move. Will He provide? Will He heal? Will He restore? Here’s the good news: God is always faithful! When we have a relationship with Jesus and that thing SUDDENLY happens and we call on Him, BOOM, He’s right there! My friends Steve and Mary Alessi are here to tell their story of what SUDDENLY happened to them and how God took them from the pain to the promise. Just as suddenly as those things show up in our lives, God can suddenly change everything.

Life gets muddy, dirty and tough on its own. Sometimes, we feel tough and strong like we can handle it all. Other times, we wonder if we can even survive.

My friend, Buddy Cremeans, is here to tell us his story of loss and pain and how we can grieve together AND heal together.

Does it ever get frustrating because it seems like God isn’t saying anything? Pastor Nicole Crank shares that just because we don’t hear Him, it doesn’t mean He isn’t speaking.

How can we hear better? Pastor Nicole Crank teaches how hearing the right things leads to a brighter future. The enemy will do his best to get us confused about what we’re listening to. That’s why we create a space to hear from God. When we hear Him, we start believing what He says about us. When we believe His word, we start to say it. Then we can finally see the promises He’s placed before us.
Even when it all goes wrong, you can thrive in spite of the moment. Don’t get caught in survival mode. It’s God’s will for you to thrive!
Worry keeps us busy, but does it ever get us anywhere? Pastor Nicole teaches us how to disarm the stress trying to drain our lives.

We’re too blessed to be stressed!

Maybe you're going through a difficult time and don't see a way out. Did you know there's a way to keep that fear from winning? Pastor Nicole Crank empowers us to raise up our shield of faith and tell the enemy to "GET OUT!" The enemy is an intruder who creeps around trying to scare us, but we don't have to be afraid. God has us covered under His powerful protection. All we have to do is run to Him and remember that no weapon formed against us will prosper!

Infidelity - we’re getting REAL today! Marriage can be REALLY HARD. But if we’re willing to put in the work...if we’re willing to roll up our sleeves and forgive the brokenness in our spouses and forgive ourselves so we can all be healed, I KNOW God can restore.
