In this conversation he tells Jason and Malia Smylie what he actually sees when he steps onto that ground, the night God told him one word that changed everything, and how he leads total strangers to Jesus in the last place anyone would expect.


He also gets honest about the part of his life that does not make the highlight reel. What it costs to be gone, why he refuses to be an absentee father, and the simple thing he and his wife do with their kids every single night to keep their own home anchored while he carries this calling.


Jason opens up about his own years in the rave scene and what he realized the last time he stood at EDC. It turned into one of the most unexpected conversations we have had in our home.

Pastors are being privately briefed about what's coming. And AI is quietly becoming the new false "Holy Spirit" for millions of people.

In this episode, Malia interviews Jason, a former atheist who spent decades exploring Eastern religions, new-age spirituality, and transhumanism before finding Jesus, on how Christians can navigate UFOs, AI, and the spiritual realm with discernment instead of fear.                       

This isn't a fear-based take. It's not a UFO-hype take either. It's a conversation about how we anchor ourselves (and our kids) in Christ when the world is getting louder, weirder, and harder to ignore.

We talk about:                                                                         

• What this week's UFO disclosure actually means for Christians

• Why AI is becoming a counterfeit source of wisdom, and what to do about it

• The "forking of humanity" and the red line Jason refuses to cross                                               

• How to raise kids who can discern truth in an AI-shaped world                                                 

• Why signs and wonders without Jesus always lead somewhere dark                                                

• Where to find peace when the noise won't stop                                                                                  

If you've ever felt embarrassed to ask whether UFOs are real, whether AI is dangerous, or how any of this fits into your faith, this one's for you.

In this episode of the Our House Podcast, Jason and Malia Smylie sit down with Daniel Knapp, a pastor's kid and Christian youth teacher, who shares the two simple questions that diagnose whether you're walking in the will of God right now.


The conversation unpacks a key reframe: scripture talks about God's will as character transformation and sanctification, but most Christians are anxiously asking about jobs, relationships, and timing. Daniel's two questions bridge that gap and replace anxiety with peace.


The two questions Daniel walks through:

1.⁠ ⁠Am I genuinely pursuing Jesus?

2.⁠ ⁠Am I actively walking in disobedience anywhere?


If both answers are honest, you've found your answer about God's will for your life.


In this episode Jason, Malia, and Daniel discuss:


00:00 — Introduction: Meeting Daniel Knapp in the Dominican Republic

01:27 — Career vs. Calling: Daniel’s transition from business to ministry

04:40 — How to know if you are living in God’s will

12:15 — The importance of surrendering your plans to the Lord

26:08 — Understanding the two types of disobedience

29:30 — How to discern the voice of God vs. your own desires

41:10 — The impact of being raised in a ministry home (PK life)

53:55 — Encouragement for parents dealing with a rebellious child

56:20 — The power of prayer and faithful stewardship in the home

1:00:41 — Closing thoughts and how to support the podcast


This conversation is for any Christian who has ever wondered if they are on the right path, any parent navigating faith with their kids, and any believer who wants a simpler, more biblical way to discern God's will without the anxiety.


Daniel Knapp is a pastor's kid, Christian youth teacher at Cavalry Chapel in Las Vegas. He and his wife Zoe are expecting their first daughter, Eden.


Scripture referenced in this episode:


1 Thessalonians 4 and 5

Romans 12:2

Hebrews 12:1-2

Philippians 4

Matthew 25 (Parable of the Talents)

Joshua 24:15

It might be your attachment style. And it’s quietly running your home.


In this episode of Our House with the Smylies, we sit down and talk through attachment theory, the four attachment styles, and how the way you were cared for as a kid is shaping the way you love your spouse and parent your kids today.


We get personal about the wounds we both walked into our marriage carrying, why anxious and avoidant partners are magnetized to each other, and how that magnet can quietly turn into a trap. We also talk about a fight we had recently and what it taught us about how stress pulls us right back into our oldest patterns.


If you’ve ever felt abandoned every time your husband shuts down, or suffocated every time your wife pushes for resolution, this one’s for you.

We close with what actually heals it. Earned secure attachment, the truth God speaks over our identity, and how understanding our own attachment styles changed the way we’re parenting our boys.

still feel empty, this episode is for you. And if you've 

never picked it up, this is the conversation that will 

make you wish you had years ago.


We break down Dr. Gary Chapman's framework through 15 

years of Christian marriage and show you why most couples 

are speaking the wrong dialect to each other, even when 

they're trying their hardest.


If you're tired of unrelated fights, resentment, and that 

"I'm doing everything right but my spouse still feels 

unloved" feeling, the love tank concept will reframe 

everything.

This is the episode where Jason and Malia tell you what happened.

This is the final episode in the Our House series on the Five Silent Killers of a Peaceful Home, and Jason and Malia saved the biggest one for last: spiritual misalignment. It’s the killer that almost ended their marriage before it started.


Jason shares the secret he carried for years. To get permission to marry Malia, he promised her father that God would be at the center of their home. The problem? He was a militant atheist who didn’t believe God existed. For over a decade, Jason and Malia lived in what they now call “separate boats,” drifting in different spiritual directions while life kept hitting harder. Two battles with kidney cancer. A Crohn’s diagnosis. A pregnancy. And underneath all of it, a God-sized hole Jason couldn’t name and Malia couldn’t fix.


In this episode, Jason and Malia walk through:

- The Four Boats analogy and how to figure out which boat your marriage is actually in right now

- The 90% rule and why a father coming to faith changes the spiritual trajectory of an entire family

- The difference between faux peace and the peace that surpasses understanding


Why Malia never stopped praying, and what finally broke through for Jason

If you’re a believing spouse praying for someone who doesn’t believe yet, this episode is for you. If you’re the skeptic in the marriage, this one is for you too.

In this vulnerable episode, we are sharing, for the very first time, the story of our prenuptial agreement. We’re pulling back the curtain on how a legal document intended for "protection" became a silent killer in our home, creating a wedge of resentment and mistrust that nearly led to divorce.


Whether you have a prenup or are simply struggling with the "separateness" of money and bank accounts, this conversation is for you. We discuss:


The "What If" Mindset: Why entering a marriage with an exit strategy is a dangerous foundation.


Contract vs. Covenant: Shifting from legal protection to biblical unity as "one flesh."


The Breaking Point: The raw moment when we realized we had to dissolve our agreement to save our connection.


Total Transparency: Why we believe joint accounts and shared goals are vital for spiritual breakthrough.

Issues get put on the back burner, they fester, and deep-seated resentment begins to build. For a long time, we tried to solve our family issues like a business, treating our home like a franchise and each other like employees. It didn’t work. In fact, it almost cost us everything. In this episode, we dive deep into the "A" of our SAFES framework: Avoiding Issues. 


We get vulnerable about our own struggles with "correcting vs. connecting" and share how we transitioned from a cold, secular business model to what we now call the Faith-Filled Family Meeting. Whether you are dealing with surface-level chores or deep-seated disrespect and "meanness" between siblings, this episode provides a practical, 4-step blueprint to stop the drift and start building a home centered on God’s peace.

We were the couple that looked like we had it together. Church on Sunday. Kids in the right schools. Nice house. And behind closed doors, we were falling apart. We weren't connecting. We weren't talking. We were roommates running a household, not partners building a home. In this episode, we break down the 5 silent killers that keep homes stuck in survival mode: spiritual misalignment, financial separation, lack of emotional intimacy, scheduling chaos, and avoiding issues. We get honest about how every single one of these almost destroyed our marriage, including the Mexico City story we've never told publicly before.
