I sit down with the incredibly talented Haley Vergon, the heart and hands behind Lost & Found Collection—a portrait and live wedding painting business rooted in glorifying God through art. Haley shares how Lost & Found was born out of a season of hardship, and how God used that time to birth something beautiful. Her mission is simple but powerful: to help others find Jesus through artwork that tells a story of redemption, grace, and hope. From leaving her role as a middle school art teacher to pursuing art full-time, Haley’s journey is a testimony to obedience, faith, and trusting God with your gifts. A portion of all proceeds from Lost & Found Collection goes to local nonprofits, extending love far beyond the canvas.

Lindsay and I sit down once again for a powerful conversation in our Two Sisters and John series. We’re diving into John chapters 7 and 8, where we see not only the boldness of Jesus, but how His character fully reflects the character of God.

Through the tension, the teaching, and the tenderness in these chapters, we uncover rich truth about who Jesus is—and what that means for us today.Each moment points to a Savior who is compassionate, truthful, bold, and deeply loving. His life reflects the heart of the Father—and that’s the hope we cling to.

Here are 4 Biblical Truths we explore in this episode:

1. Jesus speaks with authority — His words aren’t just wise; they come directly from the Father (John 7:16).
2. He offers living water — a promise of the Holy Spirit to all who believe (John 7:37-39).
3. He offers mercy, not condemnation — as seen in the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1-11).
4. Jesus is the Light of the World — the only one who leads us out of darkness (John 8:12).

I sit down with De'Marquies Harvey, a former Marine and police officer who took a leap of faith to serve as a Guest Services Pastor. You may recognize his wife, Asiret Harvey, from Episode 9, Turning Pain Into Purpose—and now, we get to hear his incredible story.

De'Marquies shares about growing up in inner-city Chicago, the culture shock of college, and the hardships he faced along the way. But one of the most vulnerable parts of his story is losing his youngest son to cancer after being in remission. He opens up about wrestling with God, questioning His plan, and the struggles of grief. Yet through it all, he found deeper truths about who God is and His unwavering character.

We also dive into the daily choice to follow God over the desires of the world—how free will, like the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, is an invitation to trust and choose Him every single day.

This conversation is raw, real, and a reminder that even in the deepest pain, God is still good.
