woman who is held... 

#jointhestory with Cindy -- she is a "blood bought child of the Most High King" who loves Him with all her heart, soul, mind, and strength. She is also a wife, mother, grandmother, piano teacher, and a member of the most amazing worship arts program at her local church. Her favorite thing to do is to sit in her "spot" in her family room in the early mornings and spend time with Jesus, reading and studying His Word, listening for His Voice. Being with her family is her second favorite thing in all this world. Her love for them is total and complete.

...the widow who wore pink

Robyn Dykstra is passionate about helping women find hope in the midst of their messes - whether large or small, self-induced or thrust upon them.

Robyn speaks to the hearts and hurts of women all over the country as a national speaker and author.  As a former Red Hot Mess with a reckless disregard for God, she's experienced the transforming power of God’s love.  Years later, as a fully surrendered Christian woman who was widowed twice in only four years - she had a lot of questions for God that required an answer. 

We will dive in to some of those questions in this conversation today. Join the story...
