What if the thing you’re scared to post is the exact thing someone needs to hear?
In this episode of The Travis Hearn Podcast, Pastor Travis sits down with Reese Cook — artist, worship leader, and content creator with over 600K Instagram followers and 1.3M on TikTok — for a raw conversation about what it costs to follow Jesus in public.
Reese grew up chasing music, moved to LA at 18, and found himself in rooms with major artists and industry names before he ever knew God. After a divine appointment at Impact Church’s Rally Conference, he surrendered his life to Christ — and lost followers, income, and relationships in the process. He and Travis unpack what it really means to run the same race at the same pace as your spouse, why courage isn’t the absence of fear, and how obedience — even scared, even costly — always leads to more than what it took.
Topics covered:
- Getting saved at a young adults conference
- Losing followers and income after going public with his faith
- Walking away from TikTok live-streaming income
- Marriage, sanctification, and “running the same race, same pace”
- Baptism — what it means and why it’s not a one-time thing
- Courage as doing it scared, not doing it fearless
