Melanie Redd, president of Melanie Redd Hope Ministry and bestselling author, for a candid conversation about prayer as a first response rather than a last resort. Melanie shares her powerful "indicator light" analogy—how worry and anxiety serve as warning signals that it's time to take our cares to the Creator—and recounts the harrowing story of her brother's unexpected brain bleed, revealing how gratitude became her "secret weapon" during eleven days of crisis. The discussion explores why God is often the last one we talk to when He should be the first, how to redeem sleepless nights through prayer, and practical wisdom for parents of prodigals, including Melanie's motto to "say little and pray much." Drawing from Scripture and personal testimony, including the touching story of Billy Graham welcoming his wayward daughter home, Melanie encourages listeners that God is for them, His timing is trustworthy even when it doesn't match our own, and no circumstance is beyond the reach of a praying parent. This show originally aired in October of 2024.

Author Rachel Kendall discusses her powerful testimony of hitting rock bottom as a young woman and hearing God's voice say, "You are my child—you cannot continue down this path." Rachel shares how God graciously redeemed her from a spiral of compromise and sin, teaching her what it means to truly abide in Christ rather than seek satisfaction in the world's empty promises. Now, through her new book Abide Side by Side: Learning to Draw Closer to Jesus Together in a World That's Wandering Away, Rachel has created a 12-week discipleship resource designed to help mature women mentor the next generation. The conversation explores why knowledge alone isn't enough, how to find a safe person to walk alongside you in faith, and practical ways to pour into others—even if you don't have all the answers. Rachel also walks listeners through the Romans Road, offering hope to anyone who feels stuck in their own version of rock bottom and longs for the relentless love of a pursuing God. This show originally aired January of 2023.

Genell Holloway—a woman whose journey from rural Kentucky farm roots to entrepreneurship reads like a testament to resilience itself.

Later she remarried again and encountered the devastation of Milke’s passing on their honeymoon, the day following the wedding. Genell is the founder of Eagle Hollow Enterprises and author of 90 Days Through the Wilderness—a devotional born from her own seasons of feeling alone and afraid.

Their mission is simple but powerful: to reduce trauma for children awaiting foster placement, support foster families, and assist child welfare workers during one of the most difficult days in a child's life.
