On My Heart

Today we finally have the legend himself, Zack Guess on the podcast! Although he has so many important parts of his testimony, today he is focusing on the Lord’s faithfulness to him through his three month long sickness caused by a parasite that he got during a mission trip to Nicaragua earlier this year. Instead of questioning God, he used this extremely hard time to trust the Lord’s plan for him and learned to value each lesson that God gave out of love and purpose.

He also talks about the importance of hiding God’s word in your heart through memorization!

So excited for you to hear from one of the wisest, funniest and friendliest- a man truly after God’s own heart!

We are so happy to have Sara Barham as our first guest of Season 2! Sara tells her story of how she based all of her identity in her success as an athlete. She played D1 basketball at the University of Louisville and made it to the National Championship her sophomore year. Everything was going great and was under her control, until her basketball identity was stripped from her, and because that is where she had placed her worth, she felt she had nothing left. BUT GOD! Sara embraced her relationship with Jesus Christ instead of her success driven, religious mindset. As Sara has learned to trust in Christ, God has directed her steps and provided for all her needs even when life didn’t always feel comfortable.

We are praying that Sara’s testimony ministers to YOU today!

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

-Romans 5:8

As a young child, Reuben felt confused, hurt, lonely, and angry which led him to trying to find his identity. Instead of turning to Christ, he turned to sports, the wrong crowd, drugs, and living in a lie with his family. But Praise God that the Lord had His hand on Reuben from the beginning- protecting Him and leading Him even when Reuben did not love or care about Him at all.

Reuben was humbled, shown undeserved love, forgiveness, and mercy and now loves His God with all His heart, is one of the hardest workers I know, and is an amazing and Godly husband and father.

I am so very thankful for Reuben’s testimony and how God can take the broken and restore better than we could ever hope for or imagine.

I hope and pray that this is an encouragement to you and helps even just one person turn to Jesus Christ whether for the first time or for the hundredth time.

Thank you Reuben!

I’m SO happy to have my brother share his testimony today!

From a very early age, Luke felt that he loved the Lord; however, there was always something holding him back from publicly professing Christ as his Savior. Despite the years of wrestling, the Lord was continuing to work in Luke’s life leading and guiding him and providing exactly what he needed all along the way!

Luke is free in Christ not because of what he did and didn’t do, how much he brought to the table, or having everything go perfectly to his plans, but because of the simplicity of the good news of the Gospel!

Our prayer is that this testimony is glorifying to God, is an encouragement, and helps even just one person!

Danny Cosby was at his lowest. Although raised in a Christian, church-going home, Danny turned his back on God at an early age and started abusing sex, hard drugs, was in and out of multiple homeless shelters, and later faced four years in prison for theft. BUT GOD! Like the Parable of the Prodigal Son, God the Father ran to Danny at his lowest and embraced him in His loving arms, changing his life forever EVEN making prison seem like a palace because Jesus Christ and the Word of Life was with him there!

Please be blessed and encouraged by listening to Danny’s incredible testimony and hearing about His God glorifying ministry!

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”

{‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:28‬}

Laura was 17, and all of her plans & goals looked like they were finally coming together until a car wreck left her in a coma with brain damage and multiple injuries. God took what looked like a death sentence and not only saved her life but blessed her to live with fearless purpose and determination for Jesus like never before!

I cannot wait for you to be blessed and inspired by Laura! May God have all the Glory!

Through The Herrington’s story, God shows His life changing power, sovereignty in the details and timing, and redemption -making the broken beautiful by his abounding grace.

Through Pat I learned that God has the power to transform lives taking him from abusing alcohol and drugs to making him a new creation in Christ- preaching His word & 22 years of sobriety! Through Shemika, I learned to be FAITHFUL to God and His ways no matter how difficult the circumstance, to pray and pray and PRAY, and to love in service even when it is not deserved or felt.

Their life mission: you can’t change the world, but you can leave it better than when you found it by faithfulness to God wherever you are in life!

I am amazed at God’s power, timing, provision, and redemption in Megan’s story.

God was faithful to perform the work that He started in her by rescuing her from her lowest valley so that she can say, “You have turned my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!”

‭‭-Psalm‬ ‭30:11-12‬

I cannot wait for you to be blown away by God’s goodness like I was!

Please Listen!

Today, Kylie shares her struggle with body image and eating disorders, and more importantly the redeeming and miraculous work that God has done through her with this struggle! The temptation has not magically disappeared, but God has provided new mercies and grace for her every single day that she has learned to embrace and trust!

I was so blessed and encouraged by her story and the wisdom from God’s word and her experience that pours out of her, and I hope and pray this is a blessing to you!

Trey’s testimony encourages me to never give up. No matter how low you may be or how many circumstances are against you, trust in God! In God’s time, He has promised to complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you!
