    now I know - Jessica Brown

    It's a new year, and I knew it was time- I had been putting this off-scared to offend anyone in my life, but also knowing there's a way to tell the truth with love that still helps so many. God knows my heart and I pray my heart shone through in this episode. Themes addressed in this episode are as follows: -divorce, separation -physical/domestic abuse -sexual assault -single parenthood -backsliding -search for validation -forgiveness -marriage -post partum in motherhood and more. If you received any nuggets from this episode, please tell me so I don't second guess myself into deleting it the first day lol. Thank you all so much for coming back to listen, and as always stay tuned, because THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

    do more | Becca Halbrook

    Becca Halbrook is wife to Levi, sahmama to 4, and gardener/homesteader. She sat down with us this week to tell her testimony. Doing this episode was completely out of her comfort zone, but she did it wonderful justice as she opened up about how God brought her and her husband back to church after backsliding for a time. We talk the road there and back, and the miraculous power of just "slipping into church" here and there, as God worked on their hearts until eventually they are where they are now, a pillar family in the church. Themes we talk are backsliding, 52 day fasts, partying, alcohol and marijuana, encouragement of saints, and more.

    it does matter | Destiny Minton

    Destiny Minton is a wife to David, mom to 4-almost 5 kids, and was raised in a functional family unit of two of the most precious parents a child could have, Regina and Phillip Matlock. Today Destiny talks growing up, things she remembers her parents did that she feels made the difference, and more personal things she went through as a teenager herself even though she DID have that "perfect" raising with two parents present. Our conversation hits on themes such as rebellion as a teen, good things in a marriage, the importance of purity and your virginity, and absolute miracles she's witnessed with her own two eyes. As they always do, things got real, and it's one not to miss. If you haven't yet, please give us a 5 star review wherever you listen! This helps the podcast go even further and reach others who need to hear this good stuff:)

    Charlie | Chris McCorkle

    Chris McCorkle, also known as Christina, Bernie, Bernilicious, and soon to be grandmother "Lolly"- is a wife of 27 years and a mom to two. I saw a picture she had posted on FB of her time she had the opportunity to spend with Charlie Kirk. I reached out to ask if she'd be willing to come on and just talk about her time with him and how that was, to which she immediately agreed. Little did I know, she had one of the most amazing testimonies I had ever heard. Today, our conversation lead us to talk about ministry burnout, terrible mistakes, real severe post partum depression, backsliding, prescription drug addiction, Covid, politics, Charlie, and MORE. You don't want to miss this miraculous testimony of God's keeping power.

    keep coming back | Kristen Rowland

    Kristen Rowland | mama to Raylan-sits down for a real conversation on how God not only brought her back to truth, but how He has kept her. Raised in truth until she was 9 years old, she talks how it was to watch her parents backslide, and the after effects it had on her own life until she made it back. The devil fought her to get back, but he also fought her to stay. She talks the struggles she went through to stay after living out the very public journey of a pregnancy out of wedlock. The shame of sin the devil kept forefront in her mind, the lies he would tell her to leave the church, and the process she went through to overcome and now be the mom she knew she wanted for her baby, no matter what. Her determination is a testament to the strength the Holy Ghost gives us to KEEP COMING BACK.
