Sandra (Lott) Smith | Founder, Author, Survivor, Minister
Meet Sandra (Lott) Smith, the heart behind Your New Life Ministries and the soul-stirring author of I'm Saved! Now Where Do I Go From Here? With more than 39 books under her belt, Sandra’s journey from heartbreak to healing has inspired readers across the globe.
Born and raised in San Antonio, she’s as comfortable studying scripture as she is handcrafting candles or jewelry in the mountains she loves. Her writing began not from ambition but from anguish—after the tragic death of her son. Through grief, God met her with divine healing, birthing her first book, God's Love, during a moment of raw devotion.
Today, her ministry stretches from Bible study groups and Sunday school classrooms to homeless outreach programs and recovery circles. She’s a voice for the broken, the searching, and the spiritually hungry. Her passion? Helping women discover their identity as daughters of the King and leading believers toward deeper maturity, perseverance, and purpose.
Sandra’s also been featured on national radio shows including Golden Life Living, WMAP, and The Kim Kennedy Show—sharing how the worst trials can become vessels of God’s unconditional love.

Robert Boris | Screenwriter, Director, and Storytelling Maverick
Then, we flip the script—literally—with Robert Boris, an award-winning screenwriter and director whose fingerprints are all over classic American cinema. You’ve seen his work in 48 Hours, laughed your way through Dr. Detroit, and felt presidential power plays in Air Force One—the pitch so iconic, it’s still called “the most famous pitch in town.”
But Robert didn’t just write action—he helped define it. He’s the creative mind credited with shaping Clint Eastwood’s legendary “Man with No Name” persona, a character that redefined stardom and spaghetti Westerns alike.
Now, he’s traded scripts for chapters with his explosive debut novel Black Sun—a high-octane story of a futuristic AI-controlled bomber that turns against humanity. Think: Dr. Strangelove meets Ex Machina, with an adrenaline shot of military tech gone rogue.
With Black Sun, Robert proves that even off-screen, his storytelling still packs a punch. It’s a novel that asks: What happens when the deadliest weapon on Earth decides it doesn’t need us anymore?
This episode of SHAKE IT OFF WITH MERT & LUCAS, LIVE! is your backstage pass to healing, heroism, and human resilience.
Tune in for a conversation that weaves together divine purpose and daring imagination.
Because whether you’re rebuilding your life—or rewriting it—the first step is always the same: shake off the fear, and step into your story.
