KEEP GOING: A Faith Conversation with Becky Rybak

In this powerful episode of Faith Conversations, host Sarah Rose sits down with Becky Rybak, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2016 and given two to five years to live.

Ten years later, Becky continues to live with remarkable faith, courage, humor, and hope. Although ALS has taken away her ability to speak, eat, and swallow, Becky communicates using a computer controlled by her eyes—and she has an important message to share:

“Keep going.”

Becky opens up about her journey with ALS, her love for her husband and sons, the importance of family and caregivers, and how her faith in Jesus has remained constant through some of life's darkest days.

Her story reminds us that it's okay to have hard days, but we don't have to give up. Our circumstances may change, but God remains the same loving God.

If you're facing adversity, questioning God's presence, or simply need encouragement to take one more step, Becky's testimony will remind you to keep breathing, keep believing, and keep going.

In this episode of Faith Conversations, host Sarah Rose talks with Bill Shaw, former professional rodeo bullfighter, pastor, evangelist, and author. Bill shares his journey from professional rodeo to ministry, his deliverance from fear, the restoration of his marriage, and the lessons God taught him about faith, obedience, and trust.

Bill has also authored Overcoming Fear and children's books inspired by the rodeo and bull-riding world. His testimony continues to point people toward the same answer that transformed his own life: Jesus Christ.

As Bill shared in his closing prayer and invitation, those who have never called on Jesus can come to Him—and those who have drifted away can come back. He is waiting, and He loves you.

Faith Conversations — sharing testimonies of faith, freedom, purpose, and the transforming power of Jesus Christ.

What if one of the hardest moments of your life became the moment you experienced God’s presence most powerfully?

In this episode of Fearlessly Unshackled Faith Conversations, I sit down with Cierra Murphy for an incredibly moving conversation about faith, loss, motherhood, and finding God’s peace in circumstances we never imagined we would face.

Cierra shares the story of losing her son, Cowan, and the incredible moment during his delivery when she says:

“I could feel the presence of angels.”

But one of the most powerful things Cierra shared was the decision she and her husband made afterward:

They never wanted to say, “Our lives were great until Cowan.”

Instead, they wanted their lives to show:

❤️ Our lives were better because of Cowan.

His life had purpose.
His life brought them closer to God.
And his story continues to impact others today.

If you are walking through grief, disappointment, fear, or a season you simply don't understand, I encourage you to listen to this conversation.

Your hardest chapter does not have to be the end of your story. God can still bring purpose from the pain.
