Redeemed

Christy experienced 3 major bipolar episodes from the age of 15 until her daughter was born in 2005. In part 2 of her story, God redeems all that was lost in the war. God redeems her motherhood, her work life, her purpose, and her ministry. God shows up in power, in process, and in people. 

Listen in on a discussion with host, Beth Ferreira, and Christy's family about mental health and how we can help those who are suffering. 

Christy Burke suffered from bipolar disorder. She experienced her first major episode as a teenager. Through her battle with bipolar disorder, Christy came to know Jesus, met her husband, and had a baby. Each episode pushed her deeper into a darkness she could not escape. Christy's mental health affected all those around her. Hear from her husband, Rob, her dad, and her sister as they walk through this harrowing story of darkness and light.

Trent's life didn't look like what his parent's dreamed.

When grief strikes, we often ask "Why". But for the grieving, the why is often unanswered. In today's episode Beth talks to author Heather Enright about her new book, "Sowing in Tears : The Father's Heart to the Grieving." Enright takes readers through the book of Ruth, seeking out what God has to say to those who grieve, what promises He has for our earthly losses. This new resource helps the grieving process and look for God in the midst of their anger, their dark night, and their pain.

Charles was diagnosed with duchenne muscular dystrophy at a young age. He spent the majority of his life unable to move any of his body, with the exception of a thumb he operated his wheelchair with. He could not breathe on his own. From the outside, his life seemed unbearable. How does someone who is fully dependent on technology and others live a life full of purpose and hope?

Thank you to Spring Rutland for sharing Charles' story with the world.

As Christians God calls us to forgive. But what if that person has done something so evil to you, that you have a right to your anger? Does radical forgiveness apply in the case of those who deserve radical justice? Hear Whitney's powerful story of forgiving her kidnapper.
