Jada is an author, speaker and fellow podcaster! She is passionate about God as well as studying and teaching the Bible. This passion led to her writing books that include bible studies, books on marriage and leadership. 
 
It’s not at all surprising that Jada has written these books, she excels at communicating clear, helpful, realistic steps that motivate and encourage! All of these aspects are helpful as we study the Bible, work on our marriage and develop leadership. She clearly knows the book she loves: The Bible, because her wisdom is all based on its Truths!
 
She takes this gift of communication and shares it with everyone and anyone! And though she goes and does frequently, she is happy to be planted at her local church that she and her husband started in 2008. She is very active in serving her church, using her abilities and blessing all those around her.
 
We are SO glad she’s here with us and cannot wait to hear some of her story!

Dane and Brooke have been married for 12 years and throughout those years have experienced very desperate and dark days in their faith and in their marriage. They learned so much about what marriage is and who God is to them. They seemed to be the perfect church couple, but they successfully hid deep brokenness. Brokenness that seemed to be some of the ‘unforgivable sins’ in the church.  When everything fell apart, outwardly they pretended to be fine but in reality, they were alone, frustrated, confused, angry, hurt and in hiding. They found ways to cope that only temporarily numbed the truths they were hiding and the hopelessness they felt. 
Unbeknownst to them, throughout all of this God saw them even though they didn’t feel like it. Slowly but surely, He led them to himself-- towards redemption, in ways they weren’t expecting. 
He took their pain and turned it into hope.
He healed the holes in their hearts with an unshakable identity and relationship with Christ. 
And because of that healing they were able to experience true healing and redemption in their marriage! They are here to share this story of how they discovered who God is and how He took them on a journey from hopeless to healed…
 
Quotes
* I couldn't live up or live out this fantasy.-Dane
* Facts are not feelings.- Brooke
* When we each started doing our own work, God started to align our journeys.
* The best thing we found outside the grave was Jesus.

Katie was raised on the East Coast in a good American family. When she went to college it was confirmed in her heart that she needed more than just that “goodness.” As she pursued her faith, she grew spiritually and discovered a calling to Russian orphanages. Little did she know that this time was preparing her for a non-stop life God had planned for her. When she moved to California, met her husband and started her family, God brought her close to Himself with a chaotic newness that emptied her self-defined identity with healing.

Rachel Faulkner Brown is a returning guest to our podcast! If you didn’t have a chance to listen to her past episode (Episode #22) give it a listen, but without giving too much away, Rachel’s story is full of heartbreak and hope. She has lived through the passing of two husbands and in the past episode she walks us through these tragedies showing how God showed up and carried her through. She has since been remarried, and has thrived as a wife, mother, author and founder of ministries. Be Still is a ministry created to encourage and equip women through gatherings, a podcast and online resources! It’s impossible not to get excited as she cultivates a space for women with such depth and fun! She also has a specific ministry created for widows called Never Alone. Here she has similar elements available (gatherings, conferences and online connection) but with specific topics and support for those who have lost their husbands.
Needless to say her work is dynamic, her impact is evident and we’re just thrilled to have her with us today!

The world needs more true and vulnerable stories of loss and struggle woven through with healing and hope, so that those who have gone through tribulation can then see the suffering of others and express the truth of God to the world. In this episode, Mikayla Munn and Linda Znachko share how, even through their own personal hardships, God is using them as instruments of healing for others.
