    God's Pursuit of Owen

    Welcome to UW! We are excited to be back after a little 6 week break. Our guest today is Owen LaFave. He is on the pod today to talk about his struggles with severe depression and how God pulled him out of all of the darkness he was going through.  His story is such a beautiful example of God's love for believers and unbelievers alike. He is patient and long-suffering, His greatest desire is intimacy with us as His people. He draws us to repentance and into relationship with Him and I'm so thankful He kept after Owen time and time again.  One of the most powerful tools God used to get through to Owen was community. He kept surrounding him with exactly who he needed, to love on him and fight for him and most importantly PRAY for him!! Sometimes we don't always see what people are really struggling with. Let's love people well and be kind, always. And may God help us each to know He is there with us...loving us...even in our darkest valleys. Psalm 23:4 Romans 8:28-29 Isaiah 41:10 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Thank you for listening, we pray it blesses you!

    In the Waiting

    Welcome back to Unwasted Wounds! Kelly Stamps is with us today! If you have been going to Cross Church for more than four seconds you probably know who she is. Kelly shares with us her story of infertility and the beautiful way that God showed up for her and her husband...in Hawaii no less!! I love this story so much. It's a reminder of so many things. His plan is perfect, His timing is perfect, waiting is extremely difficult, but it's in the waiting that God really draws us in and strengthens our faith.  If you are going through infertility or any kind of waiting season, we pray you will cling to Heavenly Father, not be afraid to give God all of your anger and sadness, and most importantly, remember, you ALWAYS have hope because hope is just WHO. HE. IS!!!

    The Gift of Kate

    Welcome back friends! We have a Cross Church fan favorite in the house and this is one you are not going to want to miss! Mollie Duddleston tells us about her journey with adoption. It is a story full of God's grace, beauty, blessings, and even pain, but most of all, unbelievable joy. The gift of Kate is evident all over this sweet mama's testimony and we are so thankful she met with us to share her story. It's such a beautiful story of God's sovereignty and provision!! As always, we pray that you will be encouraged and draw closer to Jesus as you hear her stories of God's goodness.  Thank you so much for listening!

    The Power of His Love

    Welcome to Unwasted Wounds Season 2 Episode 3! We have another exciting guest for you today. John Scott is sharing his story of how God rescued him from 25 years of what I'm calling, "twisted scripture". It's sort of an extension to Episode 1 and 2 with his wife, Martha Scott. I encourage you to go back and listen to her episodes before you listen to this one. They are so so good and it will give even more context. I heard a quote recently by Annie F. Downs where she said, "God saved my life just once, but he rescues me over and over." I love love LOVE this. It's been true in my own life and it's so true and evident in John's story. Time and time again, through the humility and kindness of others, God brought him back to the truth of His word and to the truth of His unending love for him. Ephesians 4:2 "Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love." 1 John 4:16. "So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. GOD IS LOVE, and whoever abides in Love abides in God, and God abides in him." We honestly got so much out of this episode you guys and it was such a powerful reminder to love people well!! We pray it blesses you also!  Send us Fan Mail https://instagram.com/unwastedwounds/ https://instagram.com/perrypartyoffive/ https://instagram.com/jaymeg/ https://instagram.com/simply.scrumy26/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unwasted-wounds/id1817814218 https://open.spotify.com/show/2CCqWL69mAvl5dBMr5vl8x?si=e8bdc6858f5f4e9b

    Bound by Fear, Freed by Love - Part Two

    Welcome back to part two of Martha Scott's interview. It was such a blessing to have her on. It seems like every time I get to sit and speak with her I learn more and more. I will always be grateful for the little nuggets of wisdom she passes on and I'm so happy that Jayme and I were able to share her with you these past couple of weeks.  Her story of Gods deliverance in this episode was so moving. I love that we serve a  God who meets us right where we are. In times of grief he can't wait to comfort us like no-one else can. Psalm 34:18 says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed". And that's exactly what he did with Martha. He rescued and delivered her and restored her joy once again!  To God be the glory. Amen. Thank you for listening!! "UNTIL JESUS CHRIST IS THE OBSESSION OF YOUR HEART, YOU'LL ALWAYS BE LOOKING TO MERE MEN TO MEET THE NEEDS THAT ONLY HE CAN FILL. ONLY WHEN YOU MAKE JESUS CHRIST YOUR FIRST LOVE, WILL YOU BE READY FOR A LOVE STORY THAT REFLECTS HIS GLORY." ~ AUTHOR UNKNOWN Send us Fan Mail https://instagram.com/unwastedwounds/ https://instagram.com/perrypartyoffive/ https://instagram.com/jaymeg/ https://instagram.com/simply.scrumy26/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unwasted-wounds/id1817814218 https://open.spotify.com/show/2CCqWL69mAvl5dBMr5vl8x?si=e8bdc6858f5f4e9b

    Bound by Fear, Freed by Love - Part One

    It's so good to be back with everyone! We are cranking out some incredible new episodes for this years listeners! Charles Sturgeon said, "Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. Its knowing the difference between right and almost right." Today we had the privilege of interviewing my dear friend and new mentor Martha Scott. Formerly a cult member of Full Gospel Assembly in Benson, AZ she has experienced first hand the actual deliverance of Jesus and the freedom that comes from having discernment and listening to the Holy Spirit! Part 2 of her story, coming soon...  ***Episode title cred to John Scott, Martha’s husband.*** Send us Fan Mail https://instagram.com/unwastedwounds/ https://instagram.com/perrypartyoffive/ https://instagram.com/jaymeg/ https://instagram.com/simply.scrumy26/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unwasted-wounds/id1817814218 https://open.spotify.com/show/2CCqWL69mAvl5dBMr5vl8x?si=e8bdc6858f5f4e9b

    Generation Jesus

    In this episode Cael and Monty open up about what it means to live for Jesus in a world that often pulls in the opposite direction. From peer pressure to purpose, they share honest stories of faith, friendship, and following Christ in their teenage years. Their wisdom and love for the Lord and His Word are unmatched and it was such a pleasure to have them speak with us. We pray you will be encouraged to dig into scripture and get to know Him a little deeper after you listen. Thanks for tuning in!
