In this episode, Paige's little brother Kevin Christensen joins us to share the story of a treacherous two-story fall when he was 4 years old and the miracle of his survival without lasting complications. We also hear about other moments in his life when he came very close to death, and we ponder the gift of life and what it means when God makes it clear that someone is meant to continue living out a purpose in this world. We also hear a few other anectotal stories that will leave you convinced that this kid has multiple guardian angels!

In this episode, we hear two sides of a story that unfolds when Margaret's father has a severe heart attack while hundreds of miles from home, community, and support. With no idea how long her dad will be in the hospital, where her mom will stay, or how her parents will afford the accumulating expenses, Margaret seeks out help to rememdy the situation at hand. Ultimately, our guest Sarah Fox—a complete stranger to Margaret's family—becomes the Good Samaritan of this story, and both Margaret and Sarah share how God's hand orchestrates everything, making his presence known in the smallest details.

In this 2-part episode, our guest Joe Rutz shares about how his call to work with the homeless inspired him to create a friendship-based outreach ministry on the frigid streets of Anchorage, Alaska. We hear about the unfolding of Urban Hearts, a non-profit that takes a vastly different—and more effective—approach in comparison to the social work and volunteer structures that are widely in place today. Joe provides tips and resources for how all of us can interact with and help those less fortunate than us, and he also shares a frostbite story with a very happy ending!
