In this episode of Bleeding Daylight, Rodney Olsen interviews Tanya Prince, a Maxwell Certified coach and author of "Designed for Purpose: Discovering God's Daily Direction." Tanya shares her journey from apparent success - complete with corporate career, ministry leadership, and family life - to a profound wilderness season that ultimately led to spiritual rebirth. After experiencing divorce and job loss, Tanya discovered that God never wastes our pain, and that even our darkest moments can become pathways to authentic purpose.

Tanya's four-week reflective journal helps readers recognize God's presence in their daily lives and understand how He weaves our unique experiences into His greater plan. Through vulnerable storytelling and practical insights, she offers hope to those feeling distant from God or trapped in performance-based faith. Tanya's mission through Green Vine Coaching is to help others remain connected to the true vine, producing fruit that reflects God's design rather than worldly definitions of success.

In this episode of Bleeding Daylight, Rodney Olsen speaks with Justin Grifford, pastor, author and advocate for embracing imperfect beginnings. Justin shares how a devastating combination of COVID, flu, and injuries derailed his carefully planned goals for the year, leading him to a profound realization that became the foundation for his book "Start Poorly." Through personal experience and biblical insight, he challenges the perfectionism that often paralyses progress in our instant-gratification culture.

Justin unpacks the five phases every goal passes through—dream, plan, start, grind, and finish—offering practical wisdom for navigating each stage. With refreshing honesty about his own stumbles and setbacks, he explains how small, achievable steps and grace-driven effort can transform our approach to spiritual growth, habit formation, and goal achievement. His message resonates across all areas of life: excellent doesn't require a perfect start.
