Hey Friends!

Welcome back to But God: Sun-Kissed Stories.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Jess—a wife, accountant, and people-pleaser! Jess opens up about her struggles with pornography, apathy, and living a double life.

BUT through choosing vulnerability and honesty, she experienced radical transformation in Christ.

Her story is a powerful reminder that no matter how far we’ve drifted, God meets us with grace, healing, and freedom.

Let me know how you loved this one!

Welcome back friends!

In this episode you'll meet Emily - a wife, mom of three (with one on the way!), and someone who knows firsthand what it’s like to wrestle with faith.

Growing up with family who mocked Christianity, she drifted into lukewarm belief and battled sin struggles. But when she finally gave her heart to the Lord, everything changed. In this episode, Emily shares how God transformed her life and why she’s never looked back AND how she's currently walking into the call that God has placed on her life.

Thanks for listening!

Hey Fam!

In this episode, I sit down with my new friend Christen for an honest conversation about mental health, anxiety, and what it looks like to discover God’s calling in the middle of life’s messiness.

We talk about the pressure to “have it all figured out,” the importance of faith in uncertain seasons, and the practical ways we can lean into God’s peace when our hearts feel overwhelmed.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever wrestled with fear, questioned their direction, or wondered how God could use them even in their struggles.

Moms: this one is for you! 

In this joy-filled episode of But God: A Story Worth Telling, I sit down with my sweet friend Sandy—a mom of six (ages 17 to 27!) whose life radiates the joy of the Lord.

Sandy shares the "But God" moments that carried her through miscarriages, church transitions, and the many ups and downs of motherhood. Her story is a beautiful reminder that peace isn’t found in the absence of struggle—but in the presence of God.

If you’re in a season of waiting, change, or wondering where God is in your mess, Sandy’s wisdom and warmth will lift your heart and remind you that joy and pain can coexist when God is in the middle of it.

Hey Friends! Welcome back. In this episode of But God: A Story Worth Telling, we welcome our very first married couple to the podcast—John and Valerie Schuchman.

They open up about their journey through church hurt, how they navigated past struggles, and what ultimately led them to ask: "Is it time to move on?"  Together, we talk about the red flags of unhealthy church culture, what a healthy community really looks like, and how they experienced God’s presence and peace even when the church didn’t look like it was supposed to.

If you've ever felt wounded by people in the church or are wrestling with where you belong, this story will encourage you to believe that healing is possible, and that God is still writing your story—even in the mess.

I’m honored to introduce you to my friend Rachel. We first connected through her mom, and she was briefly part of my young adult ministry. I even had the joy of capturing her wedding day as her photographer.

But behind the beautiful moments was a much harder story. Rachel has been quietly battling a food addiction while also walking through the pain of her husband’s porn addiction. It’s a story marked by shame, betrayal, grief—and also deep healing.

In this episode, Rachel shares how she’s learned to rely on God, lean into community, pursue therapy, and begin to see how God is working even in the hardest parts of her story.

This one is raw, real, and full of hope. Let’s dive in.

In this sweet and powerful episode, Danielle sits down with Hannah—a wife, mom, ministry leader, and soon-to-be author—whose story is rooted in rejection, but transformed by truth. For years, Hannah was told she wasn’t good enough. Those lies echoed loudly, but God’s voice was louder.

Hannah shares how she learned to fight back with Scripture and literally clothe herself in the truth of who God says she is. Her testimony is full of encouragement, identity, and the quiet strength that comes from walking with Jesus.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, unworthy, or “not enough”—this one’s for you.
