We all have a story, all of us, share your story. You don't have to have the perfect answer or the perfect life - share what Jesus is doing in your life. This is an easy, real way to witness & share your testimony.

Angelia truly lives her life for Jesus
 “Sometimes we don’t get to see the increase of the seeds that have been planted in others’ lives, but I believe God gets the increase if we keep doing what He said for us to do. That’s the blessing. That’s the Peace that passes all understanding & the Joy that you can’t explain. It’s given to you - not on your works, but about your Love & your Will to be keep being His Hands & Feet.”

If you’re asking the Question: What does God want me to do?
      - “Do something - Do something!”
      - “Once you start planting those seeds it’s hard to stop doing it.”
      - “We look at what we’re giving, instead of looking at what we’re getting.”

Why is the church in America declining?
      - “We want to be people pleasers instead of God pleasers.”
     - “People are going to speak positive or negative. If you’re a people pleasing person, you can never please everyone.”
      - “Serve like the Word says to serve.”

*** “I’m grateful that I get to lift up the name of Jesus & I get to share my faith & hope with others. There’s no greater reward than that.”

You will love this sweet episode of Carol’s life - it is filled with faith & hope. She is a plethora of joy & wisdom.

Here’s just a few things you’ll hear from Carol in this episode…

• “Every day I ask the Lord, I don’t know who I’m going to meet today. Whoever it is, help me to be a blessing to them & them to me.”
• “My biggest desire is that others would see that when they have difficulties, who they can go to. I know. I’ve been there. I know how He helps. I know the strength He gives & the comfort.”
• “God You got me through today. I know You’re going to get me through tomorrow.”
• “If things had gone smoothly & easily I may not have learned to depend on God as much. Through that I knew He was my source of strength, trust, & help.”

Megan & Christian Miller have 6 biological children, 2 children adopted internationally, & welcomed 30 kids into their home through foster care.

I’ve had it on my heart to do a podcast about fostering for 9 months & hit obstacle after obstacle. 
Can’t wait to see what God does through Megan’s story…

💜 “Anybody can do it. Some people aren’t called to foster, but you can help a foster parent, & you’re still taking care of the fatherless.”
💜 "I’m not a saint - I’m just doing what I’m called to do.”
💜 "15 years ago I would have said, “I’m not fostering.””
💜 "God can do so many things, if you just open your heart up to it.”
💜 "Had we not fostered, we would never have had the additional family we call our own.”

💥 “It’s not like we were created to live lavish vacations & lifestyles & live on cruise ships. 
No, we are here to disciple, love, & plant the foundation & seeds for our children & people.”

Praise, Surrender, & Trust through Suffering with Elissa Hanneman

Elissa lives with Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrom (vEDS): sudden death may occur at any time.

She will inspire you…
 🙏 “It’s because our life has not been easy, that we really have gotten to see God show up.”
🙏 “If I could touch people & have them feel the way I feel for Jesus, the love that I have, the way God has shown up for me. It does something for your soul when you know who your creator is. He made us, and He has a plan. I don’t always understand, but I know I can trust Him. I know that His plan is a good plan, even in the hard stuff.”

For 2 full years she was in the hospital & has had over 60 surgeries!!🏥 

🙏 “We’ve learned so much through suffering. Our world discredits suffering. For me, in the suffering, in the times I don’t know what I’m going to do - that’s when I’ve felt closer to God than any other time.”
🙏 “When you have something like this, it’s required me to be at the foot of the cross - Every Day. He has been so faithful.”
🙏“God does the miraculous! He is doing miracles in 2023!”

Bridgette is the sister of famous actors Candace Cameron Bure & Kirk Cameron.
 - We talk about what happens when God makes you wait for your dreams to come true.
 - How does it feel when someone you love gets the job you want?

Bridgette candidly talks about waiting on God’s calling & purpose.
 🎭 “God started my story when I was a little girl, back when I was told ‘No’ by the Hollywood agent.”
 🎭 “There were so many years growing up that I’d watch Kirk & Candace - their careers grow, working, & doing all the things I wanted to do, and there was a part of me that was jealous. There was a part that was angry. 
My siblings & I are very, very close. We have a very wonderful, wonderful relationship. 
But why did they get it & not me?”

On the day of a tragic car accident Bridgette felt God saying to her… 🚗 
“Bridgette, all those years that you wondered and questioned - why haven’t I used you - why haven’t I used your gifts? Why did you forget about me? 
God said…I’ve never forgotten about you. I’ve given you your gifts & talents. I have plans for you. You have to trust me that in my timing, my timing is perfect, and I will use you, but you need to trust me.”

Crystal gets real, very real, about the ⬆️highs & lows⬇️ of adoption.

Crystal & Nick have 3 biological children and 1 adopted daughter, Guyana, who was born with spina bifida (& a few other medical challenges) that require full-time medical care. 

This episode is packed, so buckle up!     Here’s a few things you’ll hear…
💭“I knew from the moment I saw her photo that I knew,  that I knew, that I knew, that I knew. I knew she was meant to be our daughter.”
💭”There’s a lot of heartbreak. Guyana rejected us when she first met us. It was a spiritual battle.”
💭”It is hard, and you will regret adopting multiple times.”
💭”There are definite challenges, but again I would do it a thousand times over. I’m absolutely 100% open to adopting again.”
💭”Anything worth doing is going to be incredibly difficult.”
💭“People call us saints on a regular basis, which we are so far not, but I think the reason they do that is they can easily dismiss the idea of adoption for themselves.”
💭“The love is all encompassing. When you make a choice to love a child that you did not give birth to, you are reflecting the love of the father who has chosen to love you with His everything.
