What does a life of faith actually look like when it’s lived out? What nuggets of wisdom do older Christians have to encourage you in your walk with God? On Eternal Echoes, you’ll hear from older Christians who share what they have learned about God, themselves, faith, trials, and more on their life journey. Inspired by the Biblical command to, “stand at the crossroads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way lies” (Jeremiah 6:16), Eternal Echoes features conversations with seniors in the faith that can help edify, guide, and encourage you on your own walk with God.

    Ep. 45: A Miraculous Sustain: Trusting God Through 37 Years of Caregiving with Tom and Mary Belote

    What do you do when the miracle you prayed for doesn’t come—at least not in the way you hoped? In this powerful conversation on the Eternal Echoes podcast, Tom and Mary Belote share their 37-year journey of caring for their son Matthew, who suffered a life-altering brain injury as a toddler. Their story is not one of instant healing, but of a miraculous sustain—the daily grace and faithfulness of God in the midst of exhaustion, heartbreak, and unending love. Through raw honesty and deep wisdom, Tom and Mary reflect on what it means to trust God one day at a time, to wrestle with His sovereignty, and to discover that “good” in God’s eyes often looks different than we expect. This is a story of enduring faith, sacred perseverance, and the quiet miracle of grace that meets us today—and every day. Wise words worth echoing: -“We have not received a miraculous healing, but we received a miraculous sustain.” -“I will not let evil win.” -“When you sign on to follow God, watch out—He can take you places you never would have dreamed.” -“Good has to be redefined. What I thought was good is not how God defines good.” -“The problem is never in the giving of God’s forgiveness—it’s in the receiving.” Follow Katharine and Eternal Echoes: Facebook and Instagram: @EternalEchoesMinistry Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@eternal.echoes.mi/ Substack: http://katharinerrose.substack.com Website: www.eternalechoesministry.com Email: ⁠⁠Katharine@eternalechoesministry.com⁠⁠ for speaking events or interviews Sow a seed: https://donorbox.org/eternal-echoes-giving Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHioicSJwSo

    Ep. 44: When the Lord Carries You: Finding Grace in Seasons of Suffering with David Beeton

    In this episode of the Eternal Echoes podcast, host Katharine Rose speaks with David Beeton, a 65-year-old man who serves as a Congregational Care & Prayer Director at The Experience Community Church in Cannon County, Tennessee. David shares how God pursued him from childhood — even in seasons of rebellion and insecurity — and how the Lord quite literally singled him out and called him home. But David’s story did not end in a moment of recommitment. It was forged in the fire of twenty-one years of walking with his wife through the relentless progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) — years marked by suffering, caregiving, loss, and God's sustaining grace. He speaks with tenderness about love that remained faithful, a Savior who carried him when he had no strength left, and the ways God can use even our darkest seasons to deepen our hope in heaven and our love for Christ. If you need hope… if you’ve questioned where God is in your pain… if you’ve wondered whether your faith can carry you through what’s in front of you… this conversation will steady your heart and lift your eyes. Wise words worth echoing: -“Our relationship with Christ is paramount. Setting our affections on Him, getting to know Him – there's nothing greater that we can do.” -“You never have to doubt God's love because He proved His love for you when Jesus died on the cross.” -“If God used those experiences for me to know more about Him, then it was worth it all.” -“The highest thing that any of us can do with our lives is to spend time in His presence.” -“Our sufferings aren't for nothing. Those are the very things God has given you as a gift that you can then share how God delivered you or how God helped you through.” -“The more often you can tell your story, the better, because nobody has your exact story and it glorifies God when you tell it.” -“If you're young, God wants to use you. If you're old, you can still bear fruit for the Lord.” Learn more about the Caregiving Support Network: https://www.caregivingsupportnetwork.org/ Follow Katharine and Eternal Echoes: Facebook and Instagram: @EternalEchoesMinistry Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@eternal.echoes.mi/ Substack: http://katharinerrose.substack.com Website: www.eternalechoesministry.com Email: ⁠⁠Katharine@eternalechoesministry.com⁠⁠ for speaking events or interviews Sow a seed: https://donorbox.org/eternal-echoes-giving Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADig4BH-LM4

    Ep. 43: Seeking God First: A Story of Loss, Love, and Redemption with Anita Keagy

    In this episode of the Eternal Echoes podcast, host Katharine Rose speaks with Anita Keagy, an author, speaker, and founder of JoyShop Ministries, a ministry dedicated to helping people rediscover the joy that comes from seeking God first. Anita shares her deeply personal journey from heartbreak to healing — and how God turned her greatest pain into a life-giving ministry. As a young pastor’s daughter, Anita faced an unplanned pregnancy, the heartbreak of placing her baby for adoption, and years of wondering if her daughter knew she was loved. Decades later, God wove redemption into her story in a way only He could — reuniting her with her daughter and revealing a profound spiritual truth that changed everything: Just as Anita had written letters for her daughter to one day read, God has written His own letters for His children — found in His Word — longing for us to open them and discover His heart. Through tears, joy, and a renewed sense of purpose, Anita invites us to see Scripture not as a duty, but as a love letter from our Father — one that leads us into relationship, healing, and joy. If you’ve ever struggled to seek God in your everyday life or wondered how He could redeem your pain, this story will remind you: nothing is wasted in His hands. Wise words worth echoing: -“When you fail, you don't need anyone shaming you. The enemy is already shaming you enough.” -"Never doubt in the dark what God has told you in the light." -“My pain of the past has led me into service for his kingdom. And only God can do that.” -“Pray that God will give you the desire to really want to know Him, to hunger after Him, to want Him more than anything else.” -“The Father laid down himself through his Son for the world, for all to come to know Him. He did it all. So the love is there, but we have to receive it.” Connect with Anita Keagy: Website: https://www.joyshop.org/ Books and DVD series: https://www.joyshop.org/shop Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JoyShopMinistries/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyshopministries/ Follow Katharine and Eternal Echoes: Facebook and Instagram: @EternalEchoesMinistry Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@eternal.echoes.mi/ Substack: http://katharinerrose.substack.com Website: www.eternalechoesministry.com Email: ⁠⁠Katharine@eternalechoesministry.com⁠⁠ for speaking events or interviews Sow a seed: https://donorbox.org/eternal-echoes-giving Watch this episode on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=NZiRgbkUrlM&feature=youtu.be

    Ep. 42: Living a No Regrets Life: Breaking Free from the Lies that Hold You Back with Rhonda Stoppe

    In this episode of the Eternal Echoes podcast, host Katharine Rose interviews Rhonda Stoppe, a bestselling author and speaker dedicated to helping women live lives free from regret. As a pastor’s wife and host of the “Old Ladies Know Stuff” podcast, Rhonda is full of wisdom on everything from developing a godly marriage to raising children with integrity. During our conversation, Rhonda draws on the stories of Paul and Peter to show how our failures never disqualify us from being used by God. She guides listeners through practical steps to break free from shame and regret, highlighting the importance of knowing God's character and washing our minds with the Word of God. Rhonda also speaks to the importance of community and mentorship, particularly from older, seasoned women who are a step ahead of us in our marriage, parenting, careers, or singleness. Wise words worth echoing: -“When we break free from our past hurts, nothing's wasted. What Satan uses for evil, God uses for good.” -“Your freedom from that person [that wronged you] lies in forgiving them.” -“Gossip is the worst sin among Christian women.” -“I will never see myself more clearly than through the lens of scripture.” -“Invite people in your life, older, seasoned, that are just a step ahead of you in their marriage, in their parenting, in their careers, in their singleness.” -“We will never be the woman of faith – the person God intends for us to be – if we skip over time in the Word, time in prayer, and then really run your race with others that want to follow Jesus like that.” -“The more we grow in our love for Him, the more His love spills over into our marriages, into our friendships, into our parenting. And you'll have no regrets.” Connect with Rhonda Website: https://www.rhondastoppe.com/ Pre-order her new book: "Moms of the Bible, Life-Changing Lessons from the Fearless, Flawed, and Faithful": https://www.amazon.com/Moms-Bible-Life-Changing-Fearless-Faithful/dp/0736993223 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoRegretsWoman/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rhondastoppe/# Text “NOREGRETS” to 55444 Follow Katharine and Eternal Echoes: Facebook and Instagram: @EternalEchoesMinistry Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@eternal.echoes.mi/ Substack: http://katharinerrose.substack.com Website: www.eternalechoesministry.com Email: ⁠⁠Katharine@eternalechoesministry.com⁠⁠ for speaking events or interviews Sow a seed: https://donorbox.org/eternal-echoes-giving Watch this episode on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=AAsgOreSo2Y&feature=youtu.be

    Ep. 41: Making Disciples & Exercising Your Authority in Christ with Ed & Pat Snyder

    In this episode of the Eternal Echoes podcast, host Katharine Rose speaks with Ed and Pat Snyder—a husband-and-wife team who lead a home church in Tennessee and have dedicated their lives to investing in people and making disciples. Ed and Pat share their personal faith journeys, including a divine appointment that ushered them out of a traditional, lifeless religion and into a vibrant relationship with Christ. They discuss the importance of understanding your authority in Christ, the significance of identifying as saints rather than sinners, and the critical role of discipleship in spiritual growth. They also shed powerful light on the kingdom of God, reminding listeners that the same healing and deliverance Jesus performed in the New Testament is still happening today through the power of His Holy Spirit. Wise words worth echoing: -”God is holy and He's loving, but He wants us to be obedient.” -”What Jesus did in the New Testament, He’s still doing, but He’s now doing it through His church.” -”Through the authority of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit indwelling us, we are the extension of His kingdom." -”God is still about extending His kingdom of light into the kingdom of darkness." -”The making of a disciple is the making of a mature disciple.” -”We have the authority over the enemy. We have the authority over the demonic." -”You can never minimize what you're doing for God's kingdom." -”Nowhere in the Bible does the Word tell us to make our decisions by our feelings. It’s by obedience.” Follow Katharine and Eternal Echoes: Facebook and Instagram: @EternalEchoesMinistry Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@eternal.echoes.mi/ Substack: http://katharinerrose.substack.com Website: www.eternalechoesministry.com Email: ⁠⁠Katharine@eternalechoesministry.com⁠⁠ for speaking events or interviews Sow a seed: https://donorbox.org/eternal-echoes-giving Watch this episode on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=Bdxiuouk_Pg&feature=youtu.be

    In this episode of the Eternal Echoes podcast, host Katharine Rose speaks with Laura Acuña, a life coach, speaker, and author of the book, “Still Becoming: Hope, Help, and Healing for the Diet-Weary Soul.” For 50 years, Laura struggled with disordered eating and body image issues, living the cycle of shame and defeat.

She emphasizes the importance of grace, the power of renewing your mind, and the significance of aligning your identity with God’s truth. Laura also encourages women, especially those in their later years, to recognize their value and purpose and to engage with younger women looking for connection and mentorship. Wise words worth echoing: -“The Lord puts us through a process. If we were healed in a minute, we'd forget Him in a second.” -“You don't have wait to be healed for God to tell you how much He loves you and how proud He is of you.” -“The moment you put your toe on the healing path, He's right there to confirm and say, ‘Go girl, keep going daughter, I love you, you're wonderful, keep going.’” -“The voice of shame is not God’s voice.” -“Older women need to engage in the lives of younger women so that we know what's going on.” Connect with Laura: Website: ⁠https://laura-acuna.com/ Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/LauraAcunaChristianspeaker Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lauraacuna56/ Follow Katharine and Eternal Echoes: Facebook and Instagram: @EternalEchoesMinistry Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@eternal.echoes.mi/ Substack: http://katharinerrose.substack.com Website: www.eternalechoesministry.com Email: ⁠⁠Katharine@eternalechoesministry.com⁠⁠ for speaking events or interviews Sow a seed: https://donorbox.org/eternal-echoes-giving Watch this episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIY8pPkdDLA

During our conversation, Kate shares words of wisdom on following God into the unknown, stepping out in faith, and trusting in God’s faithfulness.

The impossible is God's comfort zone.” -“Be the same person on Monday that you tell your friends are on Sunday.” -“He can turn you from whatever you are now into something else. Let Him do that for you. Trust Him. Trust that He will.” -“God has a calling for you from before the foundation of the world.

So even if I make a bad decision, God's at work. Even if someone else makes a bad decision, God's at work.” -“Your life is not a gift. Life is a stewardship. And that stewardship always involves blessing, serving, and helping others in some capacity.” -“The place that we find rest for our souls is in following the way of Christ.
