In this powerful and deeply moving season recap, host Keri Kitchen is joined by returning guests Crista Hoffman and Debbie Reeves for a transparent, faith-filled conversation about the events shaking the nation, the legacy of Charlie Kirk, personal awakenings, and the ongoing journey of spiritual maturity. Together, they explore the themes of boldness, the strength of testimony, faith versus fear, and the irreplaceable peace that comes from true surrender and alignment with God.

Heartfelt prayer, authentic emotion, and practical wisdom weave through stories of loss, courage in the face of negativity, and the unmistakable hand of God moving through even the hardest times. The guests bring encouragement about sharing faith, loving those who differ from us, and living out an emboldened, surrendered, and compassionate Christian life every day—right where you are.

Key Points & Takeaways

• The Transformative Power of Testimony: Sharing our stories builds faith in both the teller and the listener; "Faith comes by hearing."

• Faith vs. Fear: The more we meditate on faith or fear, the more it grows. Speaking faith and voicing fears out loud diminishes fear's power.

• Boldness in Faith: God calls His people to a bold voice—especially in challenging times—speaking the truth with authority and humility.

• Ministry in Everyday Life: It's about everyday conversations, loving others well, and being 'the light' even in the workplace, at home, or online.

• Spiritual Warfare is Real: There's a need to discern and confront the spiritual battles manifesting in society, relationships, and even personal struggles.

• Open Dialogue & Love: Listening and respecting non-believers, not forcing truth but inviting honest conversation, breaks down spiritual barriers.

• Identity in Christ: Remembering and embracing our identity as children of God is crucial, especially in a culture that often twists truth.

• Living With Eternal Perspective: Urgency to love boldly and speak truth, knowing that tomorrow isn't promised—"Are we ready?"

• Humility & Alignment: Surrender and humility are keys to alignment with God; pride is the root of much spiritual disconnect.

• Rest in God: True rest is soul rest, not just a circumstantial reprieve—returning again and again to God's presence.
