    Transformation and Healing with Seantell Coffey - 37

    Send a text What if the road out of suffering isn’t a shortcut but a map—one that leads through truth, courage, and the steady kindness of God? That’s the heart of our conversation with Chantel Coffee, a prayer minister whose story stretches from a chaotic childhood and early abandonment to a chronic illness spiral fueled by anxiety, mold exposure, and misdiagnoses. She shares how perfectionism and a fearful view of God kept her striving, and how reframing her prayer—from “heal me” to “how do I get well?”—opened the door to layered, practical, and deeply spiritual healing. We walk through the turning points: receiving a grandmother’s legacy of faith, confronting the roots of bitterness and fear, finding skilled counseling for sexual abuse, and disentangling from new age practices that promised relief but deepened confusion. Chantel explains how she learned to invite the Holy Spirit into medical decisions, nutrition, rest, and daily rhythms that calmed an inflamed nervous system. One unforgettable moment: years of thyroid medication give way to normal labs and a quiet miracle that confirmed what her heart had begun to trust—God heals in unique ways, sometimes instantly, often in process, always with purpose. Now serving as a catalyst for prayer, Chantel carries a humble boldness: pray for the sick, confront lies with scripture, and expect the Father’s goodness. We explore how seeing God as a loving Father—rather than through the lens of harsh or absent father figures—can unlock peace, restore identity, and accelerate recovery. If you’ve felt stuck between medical exhaustion and spiritual fatigue, this story offers a grounded path forward: integrate care for body and soul, ask better questions, and follow the next faithful step.

    God of Miracles with Richard and Heather Winesburg Pt 2 - 36

    Send us a text The morning started before sunrise with a whispered prayer, a packed waiting room, and a promise from Matthew 19:26 echoing in our heads: with God, all things are possible. Hours later, the surgeon’s few words—“we got it”—opened a flood of relief. What followed wasn’t just a recovery; it was a cascade of moments that stitched faith and medicine into one story of mercy: Heather waking in ICU with peace, childhood worship songs returning like old friends, and small victories—walking the hall, brushing her teeth—feeling like gifts you never forget. We walk through the emotional landscape that hospitals rarely chart: the patience of a spouse in a plastic chair, prayer that shows up right when words run out, and a community that fills the gaps with meals, rides, and relentless encouragement. Heather shares how music became a lifeline, carrying lyrics from children’s church to choir anthems that steadied her mind. The healing unfolded in quiet increments—swelling easing, tingling signaling nerves waking up, and the surprise of hearing and peripheral vision returning during worship. An MRI cleared her to drive, and a simple word from God reframed the waiting: give me time, as He carefully rewires nerves and restores sight. This story holds grief too. In the middle of progress, Heather called her dad in hospice and prayed with him—tears formed though he could not speak. He passed that night, and somehow the discharge cleared by morning, allowing a visit with her mom on the way home. The timing felt like grace. Less than two weeks after surgery, we stood before our church to say the simplest, truest line we know: look what the Lord has done. We end with a clear invitation shaped by Luke 12:40—be ready and choose Jesus today—because life can shift in a single day, and peace is a gift best received now.

    God of Miracles with Richard and Heather Winesburg Pt 1 - 35

    Send us a text A phone that won’t pick up. A long drive filled with questions. And a CT scan that stops the room. When Heather traveled to care for her dad, no one expected a sudden collapse, an ER scramble, and the words brain tumor. The first hospital hinted at the worst and the weather grounded any hope of flying her closer to home. That storm rerouted them to Little Rock, where an MRI reframed fear into a plan and a top neurosurgeon stepped into the story. Richard and Heather open up about the moments between the moments: the limp silence when Heather wouldn’t wake, the chapel where a single line from the Psalms became oxygen, and the way a cousin on staff moved mountains from inside the system. You’ll hear how the diagnosis shifted from terrifying to treatable, why the team delayed surgery to strengthen her lungs, and how community carried the load through texts, late-night calls, and focused prayer. When the tube came out, Heather’s first whispers were questions; her second breath turned into bold witness. If you walked past her door, you got asked about Jesus. Courage, it turns out, can sound like a soft voice in a loud ICU. This conversation is for anyone navigating a medical crisis or caring from the waiting room. We unpack practical steps—advocacy, informed choices, pacing your energy—and the inner work of anchoring your heart when outcomes are unclear. Expect a story of providence, from a storm that forced the right hospital to an expert surgeon who took the case. Stay through the end as we set up Part Two and the next chapter of recovery and resilience.

    Daniel Moore - Marriage as a Mission Book Interview - 34

    Send us a text What if your marriage isn’t just about happiness, but about holy purpose? We sit down with Daniel Moore to unpack his new book, Marriage as a Mission, and the hard-won lessons that turned personal pain into a roadmap for hope. From covenant vows to daily habits, this conversation reframes marriage as a God-witnessed commitment designed to bless more than two people. We start with the difference between a covenant and a contract, and why “sliding” into cohabitation often sabotages long-term stability. Daniel shares how fear, cultural pressure, and shaky role models can make commitment feel risky—and how anchoring your relationship in Christ restores courage and clarity. We challenge the myth that a spouse can supply joy on demand and show how abiding in Jesus fills the cup both partners draw from, especially when expectations crash. Then we get practical. You’ll learn to spot the reactive cycle that keeps fights looping and how to switch to a care cycle that pauses, prays, and re-engages with humility. Daniel lays out three core spiritual disciplines for couples—prayer, Scripture, and worship—as everyday tools for unity and spiritual warfare. He also walks through his six-session study guide packed with Scripture and action steps, and his 42-day devotional that gives couples a shared rhythm for daily growth. We close with a candid look at spiritual warfare in the family and how to apply the armor of God to real conflicts: truth for honest talk, righteousness for integrity, readiness for service, faith under pressure, salvation for identity, and the Word for wisdom. If you want a marriage that moves beyond survival to mission, this episode offers both vision and a plan. Enjoyed the conversation?

    Kim McIntire - Abide - 7-Lesson Study Book Interview - 33

    Send us a text What if your spiritual life felt less like a checklist and more like a living connection that fuels every part of your day? Daniel and Michelle Moore sit down with author and teacher Kim McIntire to unpack what it truly means to abide in Christ from John 15—and how a simple, consistent rhythm of Scripture, prayer, and praise can move you from duty to delight. Kim shares her journey from faithful routines to a deep hunger for God’s presence, the moment a Bible class flipped a switch, and why the cost of intimacy is not perfection but time. Together, they explore the difference diligent seeking makes in real life: calmer responses under pressure, unexpected compassion for hard people, and the power to forgive when the flesh wants to hold a grudge. Kim opens up the structure behind her seven-lesson Abide study—start with worship, ask concise questions of the text, respond personally, and practice diverse forms of prayer. You’ll hear how reading the same chapter across a group often yields unique insights for each person, a reminder that God meets us individually through the same living Word. We also talk about frequency: why one day in the Bible offers little traction but four to five days builds discernment, joy, and spiritual resilience. Kim’s stories bring prayer to life, including a “victory shout” that turned despair into hope, and a reflective exercise that compares your most valuable human relationship to your walk with God. Time, mutuality, encouragement, accountability, listening, presence, trust—these are the ingredients of abiding, and they’re available to anyone hungry for God. If you’ve felt stuck, distracted, or unsure where to start, this conversation offers clear next steps and a warm push to try ten minutes today and let appetite grow. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review—your support helps more people learn how to abide and bear lasting fruit.

    Titus and Lesli Neuenschwander - A Place Where Families Heal - Restoration House - 32

    Send us a text Hope may start at the table. We sit with Titus and Lesli Neuenschwander, a couple who turned personal heartbreak into Restoration House, a Carthage, Missouri home where families stay, eat, play, and gently relearn how to be together. Their story begins with adoption, threads through the deep ache of losing a child, and arrives at a surprising answer: combine therapy with radical hospitality so trust can grow where fear once lived. Across three nights, they guide families through a carefully designed intensive that pairs counseling with real-life moments—board games that surface patterns, outdoor play that releases tension, and unhurried dinners that make space for honest words. Kids who are burned out on therapy meet pancakes with smiley faces and rooms that invite movement without overwhelm. Parents who are exhausted by crisis find a house arranged to lower their load: meals handled, rhythms set, and a calm environment that makes healing work possible. We also share how this mission became real: a paid-off home that opened doors, a banker’s quiet act of courage, and a community that cleared a yard in a day. Today, Restoration House specializes in trauma, adoption, neurodiversity, and stress sensitivity, offering on-site intensives, parent education, church trainings, and parent-only retreats that travel to where the need is. The nonprofit arm ensures families aren’t priced out, with prayer partners, donors, and service teams keeping the lights on—often for those who arrive late at night and breathe out the first “wow” of relief. If your family needs a reset, if your church wants to strengthen caregivers, or if you feel called to stand with families in hard seasons, this conversation offers a clear path forward. Learn how to inquire, how to sponsor a stay, and how to join the prayer team that undergirds every step. If this resonates, follow, share, and leave a review—your support helps more families find their way to hope.

    Josh and Sammie Brueggeman - How Homeless Ministry Unexpectedly Led to Adoption - 31

    Send us a text A routine ride to an OB appointment turned into a cascade of small yeses that changed a family forever. We invited Sammy and Josh into the studio to share how a simple act of showing up for a young woman in shelter led to bringing her home for safety, standing beside her at a sonogram, and eventually saying yes to kinship care when private adoption plans fell apart. What began as protection for a birth became a story about obedience, trust, and the kind of compassion that holds steady through uncertainty. We walk through the complicated middle moments—hospital decisions, state custody, the heartbreak of an adoptive match dissolving, and the decision to keep a newborn safe without knowing the ending. Sammy and Josh speak candidly about loving their son’s birth mom with clear boundaries, offering dignity while refusing to ignore harm. Their reflections reveal how decades of desire, disappointment, and prior foster experience prepared them to recognize a holy invitation at the right time. The toddler they now call son fits into the family like a missing piece, and yet they continue to pray for his first mother by name, keeping hope alive for redemption. We widen the lens to talk about homelessness in practical terms. Relationship beats handouts. Names matter. A simple greeting can draw someone back toward services and stability. You’ll hear tips shaped by years of volunteering—how to engage wisely, why panhandling isn’t the full picture, and how partnership models restore dignity. If you’ve ever wondered how to move beyond good intentions toward grounded love, this conversation offers field-tested steps anchored in faith, humility, and courage. If this story moves you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review. Your words help others find conversations that grow real compassion.

    Kim McIntire Personal Testimony Pt 2 - 30

    Send us a text What if your Bible stopped feeling like homework and started sounding like God’s voice? In this conversation with Kim and Amber, we walk through a transformative shift: reading Scripture not just for information, but for encounter. Kim shares the turning point—a simple Saturday class—that taught her to ask better questions, slow down to a passage, and respond to what God was saying. That practice didn’t just change her quiet time; it rebuilt her prayer life, renewed her mind, and opened doors to obedience she never anticipated. We explore practical, repeatable rhythms anyone can try today: silencing distractions, choosing a paper Bible for depth, journaling with purpose, reading the Word aloud, and using brief, focused time to create real traction. For those who feel overwhelmed, Kim offers a clear starting point in the Gospel of John and a short, honest prayer for understanding. The result is intimacy with Jesus that grows month by month, and a confidence in praying Scripture that aligns your heart with God’s will. Along the way, we talk about healing from chronic worry through steady time in the Word, the courage it takes to obey when God calls you to transition, and the power of community that sharpens and multiplies. Kim’s Abide classes, a growing prayer movement, and plans for a revival conference all trace back to daily engagement with a living, active Word that still speaks. If you’re hungry for depth, wanting to love prayer again, or ready to say yes to the next faithful step, this story will give you tools and hope. Listen, share with a friend who needs renewed faith, and tell us: what passage will you sit with this week?
