    From Brokenness to Redemption with Sonia Trujillo (Part 2)

    In Part 2 of He Speaks with Kate, Kate welcomes back Sonia Trujillo, pastor's wife, Bible teacher, speaker, and author of Casper: A God's Story, for a heartfelt conversation about forgiveness, healing, and trusting God's voice through life's most difficult circumstances. Continuing her powerful testimony from Part 1, Sonia shares how God challenged her to forgive when she discovered a painful betrayal in her marriage. Having witnessed the effects of infidelity growing up, Sonia had promised herself she would never walk through that experience. But when faced with the very situation she feared most, she sensed God calling her to choose forgiveness. What followed wasn't an overnight transformation, but a journey of surrender, rebuilding trust, and allowing God to heal what had been broken. Sonia shares how that difficult season ultimately strengthened her faith and helped prepare her and her husband, Pastor David Trujillo, for a life of ministry. Together, Kate and Sonia explore the importance of recognizing God's voice, testing what we hear against Scripture, and responding in obedience even when His direction challenges our own desires. Sonia also reflects on how God has used their testimony to encourage others facing broken relationships, painful pasts, and seemingly impossible circumstances. Through her book, Casper: A God's Story, and her ministry at Calvary Chapel South Los Angeles, Sonia reminds listeners that our past doesn't have to determine our future and that God's grace is greater than our brokenness. Main Takeaway: Forgiveness is not always easy, and healing often takes time. But as we grow in our relationship with God, learn to recognize His voice through His Word, and trust Him enough to obey, we can experience the freedom and restoration that only He can bring.

    From Brokenness to Redemption with Sonia Trujillo (Part 1)

    In this episode of He Speaks with Kate, Kate welcomes Sonia Trujillo, pastor's wife, speaker, Bible teacher, and author of Casper: A God's Story, for a powerful conversation about redemption, healing, and discovering God's purpose through life's most difficult seasons. Growing up in South Central Los Angeles, Sonia experienced neglect, violence, and a life surrounded by gangs and drugs. By age 13, she had joined a gang and was known by the name "Casper." Years of painful experiences taught her how to survive by shutting down her emotions, but God had something greater in store for her life. Sonia shares how a simple invitation to church changed everything. After witnessing the transformation in her boyfriend, now her husband, David, she attended a service where she sensed God calling her to surrender her life to Him. That moment began a journey of healing, restoration, and learning to recognize God's voice through His Word. Together, Kate and Sonia discuss how God can use even the most painful parts of our stories for His glory. Sonia reflects on the process of writing her testimony, learning to embrace her past without being defined by it, and how God eventually called her and her husband back to the very community they once wanted to escape. Today, they serve others through Calvary Chapel South Los Angeles, sharing the hope and transformation found in Jesus. Through her book, Casper: A God's Story, Sonia reminds us that no matter how broken our past may be, God sees us, loves us, and can bring purpose from our pain. Main Takeaway: God doesn't just want us to survive—He wants us to experience the fullness of life found in Him. No matter where you've been or what you've experienced, your past does not define your future. God sees you, He speaks to you, and He can redeem your story. Stay tuned for Part 2, as Kate and Sonia continue their conversation and explore forgiveness, healing, and the freedom found in Christ. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Learning to Hear and Obey God’s Voice with Amanda Fawver

    In this episode of He Speaks with Kate, Kate welcomes Amanda Fawver, wife, mother, entrepreneur, and Bible teacher, for an inspiring conversation about recognizing God's voice, walking in obedience, and learning to trust Him with every part of our lives. Amanda shares how the unexpected loss of her younger sister led her down a path of searching for answers in the wrong places. But in April 2023, everything changed when she heard God calling her to leave that life behind and follow Him. What began as a moment of surrender became a journey of transformation, deeper faith, and learning to recognize the Holy Spirit's leading. After building a successful six-figure business, Amanda sensed God calling her to walk away from it. Though she struggled with the uncertainty of what would come next, that season taught her to depend on God rather than her own plans. Through prayer, studying Scripture, and spending time in His presence, she discovered a new purpose: using her social media platform to encourage others to trust God and grow in His Word. Together, Kate and Amanda explore what keeps us from hearing God's voice, the importance of knowing His character through Scripture, and how everyday promptings from the Holy Spirit can become opportunities for obedience. Amanda also shares a personal story about sensing God urging her to check on a neighbor, reminding listeners that recognizing His voice is only part of the journey. We must also be willing to respond. Main Takeaway: Hearing God's voice begins with knowing Him. As we spend time in His Word, quiet the distractions, and surrender our own plans, we become more sensitive to His leading. Trust Him, listen closely, and be willing to obey, even when you don't know what comes next. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Hearing God Through Grace with David Holland

    In this episode of He Speaks with Kate, Kate welcomes David Holland—author, speaker, pastor, and encourager—for a powerful conversation about grace, freedom, and learning to hear the voice of our Heavenly Father. David shares how he came to Christ at seven years old, yet spent much of his early Christian life struggling with guilt, shame, and the feeling that he had to earn God’s approval. Everything began to change when he discovered a deeper understanding of grace and realized that because of Jesus, he could freely approach his Heavenly Father and find love rather than disappointment. Together, Kate and David explore how that understanding can transform the way we hear God. David discusses some of the things that can make His voice difficult to recognize—including shame, distractions, a noisy soul, and simply being uncomfortable with silence. He encourages listeners to make room for stillness and immerse themselves in Scripture, which gives the Holy Spirit a vocabulary through which to speak. David also shares a memorable story from his own life when he sensed God telling him to call a Christian radio station and ask for a job—even though he had no experience or credentials. After initially resisting, a Scripture he had memorized came to mind and gave him the courage to make the call. The station happened to need someone at that exact moment, opening a door that would change the trajectory of his life. Main Takeaway: You don’t have to earn your way into God’s presence. You are loved, welcomed, and accepted because of Jesus. Quiet the noise, know His Word, and draw close to your Heavenly Father—He desires a personal, life-giving relationship with you and wants you to hear His voice.

    Finding Freedom by Following God’s Voice with Sue Fries

    In this episode of He Speaks with Kate, Kate welcomes Sue Fries—business owner, radio host of The Sue Fries Show, author, and speaker—for an honest conversation about hearing God’s voice, finding freedom from the past, and trusting His plan for your life. Sue shares how God dramatically redirected her career while she was working in fashion with a simple message: “Get into the bug business.” She listened, and that unexpected step of obedience eventually grew into Ecola, a business with 80 employees. But Sue’s story goes much deeper than business success. She vulnerably opens up about hurts and trauma from her past and how, during a critical season, God literally used the radio to lead her toward the help she needed. Through healing, learning to forgive herself, and surrendering her past to God, Sue discovered a freedom that she now uses to bring hope to others. Today, Sue continues to encourage people through radio, speaking, writing, and her latest book, Why Am I Here? Her story is a reminder that our past does not have to determine our future—and God can use every part of our journey for a greater purpose. Main Takeaway: Listen when God speaks.

    Trusting God with the Outcome with Steve Husting

    In this episode of He Speaks with Kate, Kate welcomes Steve Husting—husband, father, artist, author, evangelist, and joyful servant—for an encouraging conversation about hearing God’s voice, walking in obedience, and trusting Him with the outcome. Steve shares his journey of following God while living with severe hearing loss, including seasons of isolation before receiving a cochlear implant that changed his world. Along the way, God taught him what surrender looks like in both the big and small areas of life. From prompting Steve to let go of things he was holding onto—including his comic book collection—to clearly pointing out the woman who would become his wife, Steve has learned that listening to God often requires a willingness to obey. During one of his most difficult seasons, Steve asked God a question he had carried for years: “Why aren’t I healed?” The answer he sensed from God—“I take full responsibility”—allowed Steve to finally release the outcome and rest in God’s care. Today, Steve continues to serve wherever God places him, whether teaching Sunday school, helping behind the scenes, sharing his creativity, or simply being available to others. Main Takeaway: God is faithful, even when His answer looks different from what we hoped for. We can trust Him with the outcome, walk in obedience, and believe that He will provide everything we truly need. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
