This week, I sat down with three wonderful moms from Living Hope who are in different stages of their parenting journeys. We discussed their personal lives, their testimonies, and why they view motherhood as their most important mission field. It was a heartfelt conversation that ultimately highlights how the gospel remains the center of everything we do—whether in mission fields across the globe or right in our own homes. Enjoy!

What does a church deacon actually do?

In this episode, we sit down with the deacons of Living Hope Church, Randy Clifford, Patrick Skidmore, Tim Stello and past deacon Brian Krug, for an honest conversation about life, ministry, and the gospel. We talk about balancing family and church responsibilities, what a typical Sunday morning looks like behind the scenes, and the often unseen ways they serve our church body.

More importantly, we discuss how each of them thinks about the gospel—not just inside the church, but in everyday relationships with people who don't yet know Christ. Their desire isn't simply to fill a role, but to faithfully reflect Jesus through humble service, genuine love, and everyday faithfulness.

Whether you're considering church leadership, curious about the role of deacons, or simply encouraged by stories of ordinary Christians seeking to live out their faith, we hope this conversation strengthens and challenges you.

This week on Stepping Stones, I sat down with Jillian Dance to talk about a senior season that didn't go according to plan.

Just five games into her final lacrosse season, Jillian suffered a broken foot—a devastating setback for any athlete. But what seemed like the end of her season became an opportunity for God to work in unexpected ways.

From organizing team Bible studies and praying with teammates to helping lead a teammate to faith in Jesus, Jillian discovered that God still had important work for her to do, even from the sidelines.

Join us as Jillian shares how God used disappointment, injury, and uncertainty to teach her about purpose, faithfulness, and trusting His plans over her own.
