    What Are You Living For? How God Brought Me From Death to Life

    This week on Joyful Journal… we have ME?! My sister Melissa is back, but this time she’s interviewing me about how God freed me from seeking the approval of others, living with anxiety, and trying to look successful in this world. For so long, I found so much of my identity in what people thought of me and what I could accomplish. But God showed me that this world is not my home. I no longer have to live for approval or success because it’s no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. I pray my testimony reminds you that true freedom is found in Jesus.

    Can God Bring You Back to Your Ex? | Our Redemptive Love Story w/Justin Turner

    From broken up to engaged, God redeemed what we thought was over. In this conversation, I’m sitting down with my fiancé, Justin Turner, to share our story of God’s faithfulness and redemption through a love story that only He could have written. We talk about our first relationship, how we were walking by the flesh, the year and a half we spent apart, and the supernatural way God brought us back together. God writes the best love stories, and we hope our story encourages you to let Him write yours, too.  More than just redeeming our relationship, God has shown us that He is the Redeemer of all things.
