Molly Grollimund: Nothing is wasted, and every voice matters

Some stories stay with you long after you hear them—not because they’re loud, but because they speak to the quiet places of the heart. This week’s episode features one of those stories. Meet Molly Grollimund: a homeschooling mom of four, a gala auctioneer, a former personal trainer, and wife to a pilot. Her days are full and her roles are many, but woven through all of it is a thread of purpose she never expected—one that led her into the sacred work of honoring life. Molly serves with He Knows Your Name, a ministry committed to giving abandoned and unclaimed babies a name, a burial, and dignity. It’s work most people never imagine exists—and yet once you hear about it, you can’t forget it. In our conversation, Molly shares: How nothing is wastedWhat it feels like to stand in the gap for lives the world overlooksThe emotional weight—and privilege—of saying “yes” to hard but holy workThe reminder that God sees every life, even the ones the world never knewThis episode is tender, raw, and deeply moving. It reminds us that purpose isn’t always glamorous—it’s often quiet, hidden, and profoundly sacred. Join us for a conversation that will challenge your perspective, strengthen your faith, and soften your heart. Because every life matters. Every name matters. And God never forgets the ones we don’t see. Send us a text

Meredith Bernard: When Not Enough Is Exactly Right.

🎙️ When Not Enough Is Exactly Right — Meredith’s Journey to Surrender What if the ache of never being enough… is the very place Jesus meets us? In this tender and truth-filled episode, Meredith Bernard shares her story of striving, self-doubt, and the quiet unraveling of perfectionism. For years, she carried the weight of not measuring up—until she realized that being “not enough” was never a flaw. It was an invitation. An invitation to stop performing. To stop pretending. To lay it all down at the feet of Jesus. Through the beauty of surrender and the strength of faith like a mustard seed, Meredith found freedom—not in fixing herself, but in being held by the One who already called her worthy. Her story is a gentle reminder that we don’t have to be perfect to be loved. We just have to be willing to be His. If you’re tired, striving, or silently wondering if you’ll ever be enough… this episode is for you. Send us a text
