    Stolen Innocence, Teen Pregnancy, Longing for Home: Gena's Story

    There are very few memories of my childhood and the ones I do have are tainted with moments of molestation and alcohol abuse. The adults in my life struggled to make positive choices for our family. Therefore, it was no surprise I ended up like the statics said I would…pregnant at 16, again at 18, and divorced by 21. But that's not where my story ends. As the host of this show, I ask my guests every week to be vulnerable and transparent. This week I learned just how hard that is to do. I can't thank my two dearest friends, Amelia (episode 15) and Stephanie (episode 9) enough for walking along side me while I sat in the hot seat today.  It's my prayer that you are as blessed from our time together as I was.

    Failed Family Business?: Jacklin's Story

    "Go into business with your family!", they say. "It'll be fun!", they say. And most of the time, it is, but sometimes it's not always pretty…or successful.  Jacklin's love story started with her middle school sweetheart – a classic tale of rekindled love after graduation. They were all in, ready to tackle life together, and the twist? They jumped headfirst into her father-in-law's brand-new business venture. Talk about excitement! Thanks to the Great Recession of 2008 they found themselves in a financial funk. And that was just the opening act. During their second decade of business is when things really got ugly and hard decisions had to be made. In our chat, Jacklin didn't sugarcoat it, saying, "Most marriages wouldn't have survived this." Frankly, I couldn't agree more. It takes a special kind of grit to weather such storms, and most people would've thrown in the towel years earlier. And if that wasn't enough, crippling anxiety and the heart-wrenching loss of several family members continued to darken their doorstep. You'd think that's a recipe for disaster, right? But life can be surprising. Join us as Jacklin spills the beans on her incredible journey – a story of resilience, love, and the astonishing ability to lean into her faith to face the worst and still come out swinging.

    God is Mean: Matt's Story

    Hearing phrases like "it was God's idea" or " it was time for him to go" after the death of his uncle scared young 9-year-old Matt. It caused him to have an unhealthy fear of God and His authority. According to Matt's perception, people died, and God did it. As Matt grew older, his fear of God continued to affect him emotionally and mentally. He felt trapped in a cycle of anxiety, constantly worrying about whether he was doing enough to please God and avoid His supposed wrath. This fear had a profound impact on his life, leading to feelings of guilt, inadequacy, and a constant need for validation. How could he keep hearing "God is good" all the time when all Matt could see was how mean He was. Matt spent years doing all the good things he could to please God and stay in His good graces. Until he figured out he could never do enough 'good' to please God. Listen in as Matt finds undiluted love, and freedom from fear & anxiety.   Personalized Bible Feel free to reach out to Matt via email at ckc8379@yahoo.com Are you ready to meet this man our guest can’t stop talking about?

    Meth, Abuse, & A Lost Daughter: Barb's Story

    As Barb's mom continued to speak God's promises over her, Barb's rebellious spirit grew stronger. Despite her knowledge that she could always trust in God, her defiance led her down a path of choices that some believed she could never recover from. Pregnant at 16 and a mom by 17, she was a high school drop out in an abusive relationship, smoking weed, and eventually in jail by the age of 19. Even when she attempted to "do the right thing” Barb seemed to be constantly stumbling. Her journey took her through prerequisite classes for nursing school, only to face rejection, and later expulsion from Respiratory Therapist school.    Frustrated and discouraged, Barb's rebellious personality drove her deeper into the clutches of addiction, particularly to her “drug of choice” meth. Quickly, Barb ended up in a downward spiral of increased IV drug use, more drug-related charges, and more time spent behind bars. After a 13-year addiction, Barb found herself under a highway bridge in an encounter with a man that would alter the course of her destiny forever. Listen in to this episode and witness the awe-inspiring journey of one woman's redemption and transformation through one man’s relentless pursuit of her.

    Social Anxiety, Ag Life, & Lossed Love: Kaci's Story

    Kaci's life has been filled with personal challenges, loss, and ultimately, healing. During our time together, she transparently shares her experiences with social anxiety and shyness, especially in big crowds, opening up about her personal struggles and how they've shaped her life. As a teenager, Agriculture turned out to be Kaci's safe space. She talks about how it not only rescued her but also became the foundation for her personal growth and sense of purpose. During her senior year of high school, Kaci was engaged and planned to be married shortly after graduation. This idea of marrying so young may seem odd to some but she's often been called an "old soul" and always significantly more mature than her years. But then an accident one early morning changed their entire future. The accident had a profound impact on Kaci's faith. She candidly discusses her anger at God and the struggle to trust Him after such a heart-wrenching loss. Eventually, she turned 'in to' God instead of away from Him. After a time of mourning, love found its way back into Kaci's life. She shares her apprehensions about opening her heart once more after enduring such heartbreak. Hers is a story of a mended heart and trust. Kaci stepped out in obedience amidst fear and anxiety to share her story with you. I hope you'll enjoy our time together as much as I did and that you'll walk away feeling encouraged.
