3 Doves Podcast

3 Doves Podcast is a weekly space for honest faith, thoughtful reflection, and real-life conversations rooted in Scripture. Each episode features genuine people sharing real stories of how God met them, carried them, and transformed their lives. We explore what it means to walk with God in the middle of everyday life—our work, relationships, struggles, doubts, growth, and calling. These are conversations about faith lived out, not cleaned up. About grace in the process, not perfection on display.

Jimmy Akers blends his experience of 19+ years of serving people at their most critical intersections in life and providing support to help improve their mental health, as a clean, funny, speaker and storyteller. Jimmy has spoken 1,000+ times around the world, and shares his struggles with anxiety, depression, loss and a suicide attempt. He speaks directly from a transparent heart in hope of others hearing Jesus voice in the midst of his transforming power. Whether he’s behind the pulpit as the Care Pastor at First Christian Church of Fort Myers, or reaching thousands through his YouTube series and his work with Mental Health Refill, our guest today is on a mission to provide hope-filled, family-focused encouragement—and he’s not afraid to be 'funny sometimes' along the way.

He is an author, a speaker, and a storyteller who specializes in those pivotal 'intersections'—the moments where a necessary ending makes room for a brand-new beginning. Today, we’re diving into his journey of moving from casual to committed, the power of surrendering your story, and how to navigate the deep waters of faith and mental health.
