Worthy People

In this episode of the Worthy People Godcast, host Cody is joined by returning guest Ernesto as they dig into a powerful question: is what we call “rest” actually rest, or just entertainment? Together, they challenge the hustle mindset and the idea that zoning out with movies or music equals true rest, especially for those in ministry and in the prison environment. Drawing from Scripture, they unpack God’s design for rest as reflection, surrender, and trusting in His finished work—not striving or control. The conversation gets deeply personal as Cody shares his conviction to step back from prison tours in 2026 to embrace a season of rest and family, modeling what it looks like to care for the “temple of the Holy Spirit.”

In this powerful and honest episode, Cody and Julia look back on an unforgettable year—over 80 prison services, concerts, conferences, tours, 40+ million views, 50,000+ decisions for Jesus, and 15,000+ letters—while reminding us that it’s never been about numbers, fame, or image, but about giving God all the glory. They open up about the hidden cost of saying yes to everything, the emotional weight of prison ministry, visiting people behind bars, running Worthy People as a two-person team, and the toll it took on their marriage, health, and mental well-being—especially as Julia carried and gave birth to their daughter Faith during one of their busiest seasons. Cody shares his breaking point, his therapy journey, learning boundaries, and how healing from childhood trauma reshaped how he leads and loves. Together, they talk weight loss, spiritual renewal, slowing down, and big changes ahead—including scaling back in 2026, future tours in 2027, new projects, upcoming prison dates, marriage conferences, and why this next season is about sustainability, health, and faithfulness over hustle. The episode closes with a spoken word piece, “For the One,”—this episode is a must-watch if you’ve ever felt called, tired, stretched thin, or desperate to find God in the middle of your yes.
We would love to hear from YOU!

In this eye-opening episode of our Deliverance Series, Pastor Aaron Timberlake returns to unpack a deeply important question: Why do we get sick? Is sickness purely physical, or can it be spiritual—or even demonic in nature?
Many believers struggle with recurring sickness, chronic pain, or disease and wonder, “Where is God in this?” In this conversation, we dive into the biblical perspective on the spirit of infirmity, the reality of spiritual warfare, and the authority we have through Jesus to walk in healing, freedom, and wholeness.

Marked by Heaviness, Rejection, and Depression — In this powerful episode of our Deliverance Series, Pastor Aaron Timberlake joins us again to unpack the deep layers of pain that many carry from childhood into adulthood. We discuss how the enemy uses rejection, depression, and unfair experiences to place labels on our lives — labels God never intended for us to wear.
Through honest conversation and biblical truth, we explore how to be set free from the weight of the past and walk in the identity and freedom that comes only through Jesus. Your pain doesn’t have to define you — it can become the very thing God uses to bring healing and purpose to others.
🔥 Don’t miss this episode of breakthrough, healing, and transformation.

Pastor Aaron returns with another powerful and engaging conversation in our Spiritual Deliverance series. In this episode, Christian Famous, we dive deep into the spirit of haughtiness and ask an important question: are we walking in pride, or walking in thankfulness?
Through biblical insight and real-life application, Pastor Aaron unpacks the dangers of pride and the subtle ways it can creep into our lives—even in the church. We are reminded that we are all created equally and forgiven by the same grace.
Join us as we explore how to replace haughtiness with humility, gratitude, and a heart that truly reflects Jesus.

Cody and Julia are back with announcements, new music videos, and a conversation about...feelings. How do we control our feelings and emotions? How do we keep our mental health aligned with the word of God? We examine a biblical story that teaches us how to manage our feelings without letting them control us. It is our prayer that this podcast encourages you. We would love to hear from you. You can write Cody and Julia at: P.O. Box 120162

In this episode, Cody sits down with special guest Kevin Rambsy, founder of Fight to Forgive, and the documentary Stabbed 37x, for a heartfelt and challenging conversation on the importance of unity in the Body of Christ.
It’s easy to let offense creep in and plant seeds of division. But when we take our eyes off ourselves and fix them on Jesus, we remember it’s never about a ministry name — it’s about the name of Jesus. We’ve all faced hurt, betrayal, and misunderstanding, yet before writing someone off, maybe take time to truly know their story.
Kevin and Cody share how love is key to walking in unity. The very people God wants to use in our lives are often the ones we first need to embrace. When we choose grace, humility, and understanding, we reflect the heart of Christ.
Just like a football team made up of different players working toward one goal, the Kingdom of God moves forward when we stand together — different, but united under one name: Jesus. 

In this powerful episode, Henry opens up about his journey from a life marked by addiction, brokenness, and time in and out of prison to finding true freedom in Jesus. His story is one of restoration—of faith, family, and hope.
Henry shares how his transformation wasn’t something he could do by himself. It was the community of his brothers in Christ that helped him stay accountable, encouraged him in prayer, and lifted him up when he stumbled. His testimony is a reminder that isolation only leads us deeper into trouble, but when we walk together, we grow stronger.
This episode is a call for all of us to recognize our need for one another. We all need people—people to stand with us, to sharpen us, and to help us become who God has called us to be.
