Cathy and Caili are planning a trip back to China in the near future, and her lifelong dream is to get to the Holy Land someday. 

Guest Bio: Caili Sall is studying social work at Southern Utah University. Caili has an adventurous spirit.

She will be venturing out to Mannheim, Germany to study during her spring semester in 2025. She also loves running, snowboarding, and hiking with her friends. 

Show Summary: When we reflect on our stories, we are often left with memories that carry both joy and grief. Perhaps you got a job promotion while mourning the loss of a loved one, or you got bad news while celebrating a big event. We often have seasons of celebration that mix with times of mourning. Cathy and Caili Sall are a mother-daughter duo who have learned how to hold all of the feelings that come with adoption. Cathy was a single woman when she felt God call her to adopt Caili, an orphan in China. Together, they’ve learned how to navigate the ups and downs of their story while acknowledging the grief and pain that come with it. Join hosts Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni as they hear the testimony of Cathy and Caili during this God Hears Her conversation.

• “God gives us grace; He extends it to us so we can show ourselves grace [in our stories].” —Caili Sall 
• “There’s a lot of sorrow and grief in my adoption story. But I don’t necessarily realize those bad things. To me, when I gain those strengths and things as a part of my story, I feel like I’m closer to the heart of Jesus.” —Caili Sall

Show Summary: Do you ever take time to sit in silence? Do you feel like your schedule is too packed full to have time for yourself? When God created the world, He took time to rest, but we often find ourselves running from one thing to the next without a moment to spare. Vivian Mabuni recently took a Sabbatical. During that time, she discovered how her soul was able to internally settle while she spent quiet time with God. Join hosts Vivian Mabuni and Eryn Eddy Adkins for this God Hears Her conversation as they talk through how we can find times in our lives to rest and reflect.

Notes and Quotes: 

• “God keeps inviting us into this place of, ‘Will you trust me?’ He will lead, and as a sheep, I will follow. And when He says go, I need to go. And when He says stay, I need to stay, and to not run ahead of Him.” —Vivian Mabuni
• “Am I prepared to see [God] turn beauty out of pain, and this be a longer road? Or will this be a shorter road where He does a miracle? In that waiting time is a real-time of needing to lay down our will, and trust Him with the outcome.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni
• “We can’t determine God based on our circumstances. We need to determine who God is based on His Word. . . God has revealed Himself, and we need to evaluate our circumstances in light of who He is.” —Vivian Mabuni  

Verses: 

•  Psalm 23
•  Jeremiah 17:7-8

• “Despite what truly is a bad thing, the Lord brings even a better thing out of it.” —Brittany Hurd

Join hosts, Elisa Morgan and Vivian Mabuni, as they discover how to overcome disappointments with Lisa Victoria Fields during this God Hears Her conversation.

• “So many of us are going through similar things, but the enemy in isolation tells us that we’re the only person going through this.” —Lisa Victoria Fields
• “The whole God-head is a community that we should reflect. God gives us shared struggles for us to be bound together with one another.” —Lisa Victoria Fields

Guest Bio: Robin Long is the founder and CEO of Lindywell, a global mind-body wellness

company that provides Pilates workouts, breathwork, and nutrition to help women build

strength, reduce stress, and connect with their bodies. She is a certified Pilates instructor

with more than a decade of experience teaching, writing, and guiding women in their

health and wellness journeys.

Show Summary: How many of us have started the new year with resolutions about exercise or dieting? We tend to go into the new year with high hopes about how we’re going to change our lifestyle. What if the first step is actually reframing our mindset? Robin Long is a health and wellness expert who realized she needed to make big changes to alter a toxic cycle of exercising and overeating. Join hosts Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni as they ring in the new year learning about how to have a balanced approach to health and wellness during this God Hears Her conversation.

Notes and Quotes: 

• “We all have a journey that we’ve been on that informs how we relate to our body today, and how we relate to our self-care, exercise, and fitness.” —Robin Long
• When we aren’t feeling well in our body, we go through our day with a level of stress, with a level of disengagement or anxiety, that can really affect our relationships and how we feel.” —Robin Long
• “How do we break that all-or-nothing mentality? How do we disconnect the belief that wellness equals weight loss. . . or whatever your definition of wellness equals, whatever is on the outside.” —Robin Long
• God says we are good, and that He created us in His image. So knowing that we are good as we are today, we don’t have to change the size of our thighs. We don’t have to change the shape of our bodies. We don’t have to change who we are in order to be called good, to be called worthy and loved. —Robin Long

Guest Bio: Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez (MSW, MSEd) is a truth-teller and space builder committed to helping the Body of Christ be healthy and holy. She is the founder of Full Collective, creator of the annual Sowers Summit, and host of the Being a Sanctuary podcast. She has spoken at conferences such as Proverbs 31 and Verity Conference and has written for Chasing Justice and She Reads Truth. She recently published a book with Brazos Press (An Imprint of Baker Publishing Group) titled Being a Sanctuary: The Radical Way for the Body of Christ to be Sacred, Soft, and Safe. Pricelis is currently pursuing a master of arts in biblical and theological studies from Denver Seminary and is a proud Black Latina born and raised in New York City, where she currently resides with her husband and son. 

Show Summary: Do you ever feel like you’re running on empty? Maybe your schedule is filled and you feel like you have no time to do the things you want to do or spend time with people you miss. Sometimes we feel empty because we’re lacking a community that can help fulfill our needs or lend a hand. Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez realized that women were running themselves dry while simultaneously missing out on a devoted community to spend time with. She founded The Full Collective with the hope of bringing women together to experience the fullness that God wants us to have through Him in our lives. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Vivian Mabuni as they learn more about The Full Collective and how we can find fullness through Christ and community during this episode of God Hears Her.

Notes and Quotes: 

• “No matter what the battle that has come forth is, no matter what has tried to be stolen, destroyed, or killed in their life, that does not change the fullness that God has for us.” —Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez 

• “I was very much in search of God, but I was looking for Him in a lot of things, a lot of different people, and a lot of different places. . . . I was filled with remembering that I am loved and seen by God, and that He’s actually been pursuing me and running after me all these years I’ve been running away from Him.” —Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez 

• “We have to bring our questions to the feet of Jesus.” —Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez 

• “We need to remember that our faith is not individualized. Although our salvation is individual, the work that the body of Christ is called to do on Earth is a collective work.” —Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez  

• “What is absolute truth is that Jesus came to give us life, and life to the full.” —Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez
