Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32

Life’s deepest pains often shape our greatest perspectives. Caroline Fineberg has walked through grief, loss, and resilience, yet she continues to live with a heart full of kindness and compassion.Born and raised in Bloomington, IN, Caroline is a wife, mother of three, and a Registered Nurse for 25 years, primarily in labor & delivery and PACU. But beyond her professional life, her personal story is one of endurance and faith.

She grew up in a family of five, with two brothers in wheelchairs—Brian, who passed away from ALS in 2015, and Ben, who became a paraplegic after a gun accident in 1991. In 2005, she endured the unimaginable heartbreak of losing her son, Joshua, at just three days old due to twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.Through these experiences, Caroline has come to understand that grief is a lifelong journey—but it doesn’t define us. She believes in the power of kindness, the beauty of our shared humanity, and the importance of celebrating our differences rather than letting them divide us.Her story is a reminder that everyone carries something unseen, but love, empathy, and faith can bridge every gap.

Have you ever felt like the weight of loss was too much to bear? Like you were more surrounded by darkness than by the Trinity? Imagine losing the ones you love most—your father at age 11, your brother to murder as a college student, and then, as an adult, watching your firstborn, Corinne (Cori), battle a rare disease, only to lose her at just 10 months old.

In this deeply personal episode of Image Bearers, Alysen Shields opens up about her journey through unimaginable grief and the soul-shaking questions that followed. How do you trust in a God who feels distant, when all you’ve known is pain? How do you wrestle with the silence of heaven in the midst of such loss?

Join Alysen as she shares her raw, honest struggle to reconcile her faith with her broken heart, finding God’s presence even when it felt like He was nowhere to be found. This is a story of wrestling with the hardest questions, but also of discovering the unshakable love and faithfulness of God in the most broken of places.

Laura Rusch’s story is one of resilience, faith, and transformation. Married for ten years to her wonderful husband, Martin, Laura is also a proud mom to two energetic boys, Luke and Nathan. After a successful 15-year career in the car industry, she joined Martin’s electrical business, True Service, where she connects with customers, bringing her love for people into her work every day.

“A host always serves the best wine first,” he said. “Then, when everyone has had a lot to drink, he brings out the less expensive wine. But you have kept the best until now!” -John 2:10

Back at it again, talking about Jesus with the sisters, Lacey and Lindsay. Reflecting not only on the stories in John 2, but how these stories reveal Jesus’ miraculous power and His deep commitment to us. Come get you some Bible time!

In John 2, we witness the beginning of Jesus' public ministry with two powerful events that reveal His divine authority. First, at a wedding in Cana, Jesus performs His first miracle—turning water into wine—showing His ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary and offering a glimpse of the abundant life He brings. Then, in a bold act of cleansing, Jesus drives out the money changers from the temple, declaring that God's house should be a place of worship, not commerce. When questioned, He speaks of His body as the true temple, foreshadowing His death and resurrection. As His disciples witness these signs, they begin to believe in Him, while others remain skeptical. John 2 captures the power of Jesus’ miracles, His challenge to religious traditions, and the deeper truths about His identity, setting the stage for the revolutionary message He came to deliver.

…, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” He is the one I was talking about when I said, “A man is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before me.” - John 1:29-30, NLT

The sisters, Lacey and Lindsay, dive back in with Part 2 of 'Two Sisters and John,' exploring John 1:19-50. This passage reveals the beginning of something extraordinary as Jesus steps into His role as the 'Lamb of God.' John the Baptist, faced with skeptical religious leaders, declares he's just the forerunner of someone far greater. Then comes Jesus, whose presence draws in His first followers. Andrew and another disciple of John hear the call, and Andrew brings his brother Simon (soon to be Peter) to meet Jesus. The story unfolds with Philip and Nathanael, who’s won over when Jesus reveals divine insight. Witness the awe-inspiring start of Jesus' ministry, where humble beginnings mark the start of a movement destined to change the world. Join Lacey and Lindsay as they unpack this story of calling, transformation, and the beginning of the Savior's mission."
