    How to Trust God During Stressful Times (Feat. Donna Strong) - EP 125

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever felt betrayed by the people you trusted most in your faith community? It can be devastating when the place meant for healing becomes a source of pain, but there is a way to find total reliance on God even in the middle of a storm. Join us for a powerful conversation about finding strength and maintaining your faith when life feels impossible. In this episode of the Walk with the Savior podcast, we are joined by Donna Strong, author of the book Trust: Total Reliance Under Stressful Times. Donna shares the incredible legacy of her family’s faith, starting with her parents' heartbreaking journey through five miscarriages and the miracle of her own birth. We dive deep into the difficult and often taboo topic of church hurt, discussing how to stay grounded in your relationship with Christ when religious leaders or communities let you down through false accusations and broken trust. Donna reminds us that while people are imperfect and the church can sometimes feel like a hospital for the broken, God remains faithful. We explore the powerful connection between our personal struggles and the journey Jesus took to Calvary, highlighting the fact that even the Savior experienced religious betrayal and hurt from those who should have supported him. This episode is a must-watch for anyone looking to rebuild their faith, find the power of forgiveness, or discover peace during a season of intense stress and uncertainty.

    The Ultimate Wedding Reception - WWTS DAILY - EP 27

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever felt small in a room full of important people? In this heartfelt episode, John Merrill Kirkman shares a powerful experience from an unforgettable wedding reception filled with community leaders, influential people, and excitement about who might walk through the door next. While standing in the crowd, John had a profound realization about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Drawing on Christ's comparison of Himself as the Bridegroom and His followers as the bride, John shares a beautiful perspective: when the Savior returns, He won't be focused on the famous, influential, or well-known. He'll be looking for you. To Jesus Christ, you are not lost in the crowd. You are known, loved, remembered, and eagerly anticipated. This uplifting message is a reminder that no matter how ordinary you may feel, you are extraordinary to Him.

    What God Does When You Hit Your Limit - WWTS DAILY - EP 25

    Send us Fan Mail Ever feel like you've hit your limit? Like your battery is stuck at 1% and there's nothing left to give? In this encouraging episode, John Merrill Kirkman shares a powerful truth from 2 Corinthians 12:9: God's strength shows up strongest when we feel weakest. What feels like the end of the road may actually be the beginning of a divine plot twist. When life gets heavy, Christ doesn't show up with condemnation or a demand to "try harder." Instead, He offers grace, strength, and the reminder that His power is made perfect in our weakness. If you're tired, overwhelmed, discouraged, or ready to quit, this message will remind you that your breaking point may be the exact place where God begins His greatest work in your life.

    Feeling Left Behind? Watch This - WWTS DAILY - EP 25

    Send us Fan Mail Ever feel like everyone else has life figured out while you're just spinning in circles? In this playful and heartfelt devotional, John Merrill Kirkman shares the story of "Ducky" a little duck who feels out of place in a big, busy river.

No matter how tangled, discouraged, or imperfect your journey feels, the Lord knows your name and reaches out with a mighty hand to rescue, strengthen, and redeem. This message is a reminder that your worth is not based on perfection or comparison. You are loved by God just as you are, and the Savior is still guiding you forward one step—or paddle—at a time.

    Remember Who You Are - WWTS DAILY - EP 22

    Send us Fan Mail What if one of the greatest battles you'll ever face is simply remembering who you really are? In this inspiring Walking With the Savior Daily episode, John Merrill Kirkman shares powerful teachings from Elaine Dalton and reminds us that our identity is not defined by the world, our mistakes, or our circumstances. We are sons and daughters of God with a divine heritage, a royal birthright, and a purpose that was prepared long before we came to earth. Through a memorable story about the son of a king who refused to compromise his identity, this episode challenges us to stand firm in our faith, resist discouragement, and remember who we truly are. When we see ourselves the way God sees us, everything changes. The world may try to distract, discourage, and define you—but your divine inheritance remains unchanged. Remember who you are. Remember whose you are. And remember that you were born for something greater.
