Episode Description:
Welcome to Moms With A Call, a space for the spiritually curious and the courageously healing.

In this deeply personal episode, McKenzie and Rebecca sit down with McKenzie’s husband, Evan Jevnikar (aka @dailydinoguy), for an unfiltered and hope-filled conversation about faith, addiction, identity, and confession.

Evan shares his story, from growing up in Arizona and committing to Christianity at a young age, to struggling with pornography addiction, battling suicidal thoughts during COVID, and ultimately finding healing through community, accountability, and God’s relentless love.

This isn’t a conversation about perfection. It’s a conversation about honesty. About letting go of the version of “corporate Jesus” we were taught and discovering a God who sees every part of us and stays.

We talk about:
- Early faith and hidden addictions
- Shame, confession, and the power of accountability
- The impact of porn addiction on identity and relationships
- How paleontology and faith surprisingly align
- God’s faithfulness in the darkest seasons

If you’ve ever felt like your struggle disqualifies you from God’s love, this one’s for you. You are not too far gone. And you’re not alone.
