SS04 / EP05 – In this episode, we sit down with Stacey and her son Cy to hear the powerful story of how God pursued their family through the faithful witness of others who proclaimed and lived out the Gospel in front of them.

Their journey includes unexpected twists, painful hardships, and moments that seemed impossible to redeem—but through it all, the Lord was at work drawing them to Himself. Now, both Stacey and Cy are pursuing lives fully surrendered to Jesus, discovering the joy, freedom, and purpose found in the abundant life He promises.

SS04 / EP04 – In this episode, we sit down with Russ Fish—author and retired pastor—to hear the story of God’s patient, faithful work across a lifetime of ministry. Russ shares about his early call, the joys and costs of shepherding people, and what the Lord taught him through seasons of obedience, transition, and waiting.

But this conversation also has a uniquely personal connection to our church. Russ was the original pastor of the very church building we now gather in—and for the last 17 years, we’ve watched God continue to build on what came before. After being away for a long season, Russ drove by one day, saw a new church meeting here, and felt drawn back in. Today, he’s plugged in, growing, and witnessing firsthand how God can bring a story full circle in ways we never could’ve planned.

If you’ve ever wondered how God weaves together decades of faithfulness, hardship, calling, and redemption—this one will encourage you.
