    Still Battling Depression After the Miracle? Finding Peace in Jesus | Ayis Caperonis | Ep. 161

    You prayed for God to bring you through it. He did. So why are you still struggling? Maybe you thought surviving the crisis would bring peace with it. Instead, you’re on the other side wondering why you don’t feel the way you thought you would. At 13 years old, Ayis Caperonis survived a brain tumor and brain surgery. But what came afterward was a much longer battle with depression. Doctors gave Ayis a devastating prognosis for his future. There were things they said he wouldn’t be able to do. They were wrong. But Ayis couldn’t see that yet. For years, he quietly reached for God without knowing where those prayers—or his life—were leading. As his relationship with Jesus grew, so did something he had been missing for years: peace. If you’re struggling to see what could possibly be ahead from where you are right now, Ayis’s testimony offers hope that what you see today isn’t all there is.

    When God’s Answer Isn’t What You Expected | Shawn Whitson | Ep. 160

    You’ve asked God what to do. But you still don’t have an answer. And when something finally does come, how do you know if God is speaking to you—or if it’s just your own thoughts? Shawn Whitson had reached the point of asking God whether it was time to shut down his struggling technology company and accept another failure. Then came an answer he never expected—one that made him question whether it could really be God. If you’re asking God for direction, Shawn’s story offers hope that His answer may come in a way you never expected—and the direction that makes the least sense to you may be the very one He’s asking you to trust Him with.

    What If “Permanent” Isn’t the End of the Story? | Jeremiah & Rachel White | Ep. 159

    What do you do when you’re praying for healing, but nothing seems to be changing? How do you keep trusting God when a diagnosis says what you're facing could be permanent? You believe God can heal. But when you've prayed, waited, and watched things get worse instead of better, a question can start creeping in: Do I keep believing this can change—or do I start preparing for this to be my life? Maybe you've asked that question too. For months, Rachel watched her husband Jeremiah get progressively worse until he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Even then, she couldn't shake the sense that they weren't supposed to stop looking. If you're somewhere between believing God can change your situation and wondering what you'll do if He doesn't, listen to Jeremiah and Rachel's story. It may be exactly the reminder you need while you're still waiting to see what God will do. ______________________________ 📬 Never miss an episode.

    Finding Joy When Your Prayers Go Unanswered | Lara Silverman | Ep. 158

    What happens to your faith when you’re trusting God in suffering, praying for healing, and nothing seems to change? You know God is good. But unanswered prayer can leave you wondering why His goodness doesn’t look the way you thought it would. How long can you keep praying when the answer still hasn’t come? And what happens when life takes something from you that prayer can’t bring back? Lara Silverman had just stepped into the career she had worked years for when a mysterious neurological illness changed everything. What followed forced her to wrestle with a question much bigger than whether her circumstances would change: Is God’s goodness something we measure by what He gives us? Because if His goodness isn’t measured by the outcome you’ve been praying for, where do you look for evidence that He’s still there? Lara’s story may help you recognize His goodness in places suffering can make incredibly hard to see.

    What happens when you believe in Jesus, believe you’re saved, but still wonder what it really means to have a personal relationship with Jesus? You pray. You go to church. You try to live the way you’ve been taught a Christian should live. But something is still missing. There’s no real peace. So you start wondering...why? Cindy Moats knew that feeling. She had been led to an altar, told what to say, and then told, “You’re saved.” For years, she believed in Jesus and believed she had a relationship with Him. But the peace she was looking for still wasn’t there. It wasn’t until the Holy Spirit began working in Cindy’s life that she started to understand what had been missing. And if a relationship with Jesus bears fruit…what does the fruit of your life reveal? Cindy’s testimony didn’t only become a story she tells. It became a song.

    What happens when putting God first gets harder because everything else in your life is going well? You can be serving God, building a successful career, helping others, and not realize your relationship with God is being neglected. Sometimes the hardest spiritual drift to recognize happens while you’re busy doing good things. Bill Baker learned that lesson the hard way.

Now, Bill shares what he wishes he had done differently and the practical things he does today to keep his relationship with God from becoming an afterthought. Because you don’t have to wait until something falls apart to start protecting your relationship with God. ______________________________ 📬 Never miss an episode.

    When You Can’t See God’s Goodness Yet | Kimberly Goins | Ep. 155

    You’re trying to keep trusting God in hard times. But what happens when you’ve prayed for things to change and they haven’t? Maybe you’re tired of waiting. You don’t understand why God hasn’t changed it. And some days, you’re doing everything you can just to keep holding on. Kimberly Goins reached a point so dark that her prayer became, “God, if You don’t sustain me, I’m not going to make it.” But Kimberly has also experienced moments she couldn’t understand until later, including an unexpected prayer specifically over her foot before an accident left that same foot lying sideways in the floorboard of her car. What looked confusing beforehand became something very different when she looked back. And if you’re still in the middle of something you don’t understand, you may not be able to see yet what you’ll recognize when you look back. Two of Kimberly’s favorite words say it best: But God.

    The doctor gave you the bad news. Now how do you keep those words from becoming the only thing you can hear? You want to trust God, but fear has a way of pulling your attention back to the diagnosis, the prognosis, and everything that could go wrong. What if worship has something to do with what happens next? Matthew Barker has faced moments when the doctors' words sounded convincing and worry had every reason to take over. But this isn't just about what happened to his family. It's about what you do when fear is fighting for your attention and trusting God feels harder than it did before the bad news came. What gets your focus then? And could worship instead of worry be more practical than you ever realized?
