There are very few memories of my childhood and the ones I do have are tainted with moments of molestation and alcohol abuse. The adults in my life struggled to make positive choices for our family. Therefore, it was no surprise I ended up like the statics said I would…pregnant at 16, again at 18, and divorced by 21. But that's not where my story ends.
As the host of this show, I ask my guests every week to be vulnerable and transparent. This week I learned just how hard that is to do. I can't thank my two dearest friends, Amelia (episode 15) and Stephanie (episode 9) enough for walking along side me while I sat in the hot seat today.
It's my prayer that you are as blessed from our time together as I was. Feel free to reach out to me via email at [email protected].

"Go into business with your family!", they say.
"It'll be fun!", they say.
And most of the time, it is, but sometimes it's not always pretty…or successful.
Jacklin's love story started with her middle school sweetheart – a classic tale of rekindled love after graduation. They were all in, ready to tackle life together, and the twist? They jumped headfirst into her father-in-law's brand-new business venture. Talk about excitement!
Thanks to the Great Recession of 2008 they found themselves in a financial funk. And that was just the opening act. During their second decade of business is when things really got ugly and hard decisions had to be made.
In our chat, Jacklin didn't sugarcoat it, saying, "Most marriages wouldn't have survived this." Frankly, I couldn't agree more. It takes a special kind of grit to weather such storms, and most people would've thrown in the towel years earlier.
And if that wasn't enough, crippling anxiety and the heart-wrenching loss of several family members continued to darken their doorstep. You'd think that's a recipe for disaster, right?
But life can be surprising. Join us as Jacklin spills the beans on her incredible journey – a story of resilience, love, and the astonishing ability to lean into her faith to face the worst and still come out swinging.

The Ag life was all Mark knew from day one and a farmer was all he ever wanted to be. A child of the 60's raised in a strict religious home, Mark always had a strong knowledge of God. But one day on a dirt road his older sister "rocked his world" with the reality of what God really wanted from him.
Mark Uhlenberg is full of wisdom and grace which only come from a life filled with trials and hard moments. However, even in the thickest of troubles, he's known where to keep his focus. He asked God a long time ago to let him be a blessing and that is just what he's been doing for a very long time.
Listen in as you hear how my friend, Mark, is aging WITH Grace!!

He was a "Grade A jerk. Selfish. Arrogant.” yet considered himself good enough to go to heaven (at least by the world's standards). He never saw himself as blessed; he only focused on all the bad things in his life like the loss of his mother when he was child, interrupted relationships with his father and siblings, and even his bad health.
That all changed in the shower. One ordinary day Jason was physically brought to his knees in the shower. What happened after that was nothing short of a miracle.
Jason thinks his story won't be enticing to people, but I disagree…I believe it's more relatable than he could ever imagine.
Feel free to reach out to Jason via email at [email protected]

Hearing phrases like "it was God's idea" or " it was time for him to go" after the death of his uncle scared young 9-year-old Matt. It caused him to have an unhealthy fear of God and His authority.
According to Matt's perception, people died, and God did it.
As Matt grew older, his fear of God continued to affect him emotionally and mentally. He felt trapped in a cycle of anxiety, constantly worrying about whether he was doing enough to please God and avoid His supposed wrath. This fear had a profound impact on his life, leading to feelings of guilt, inadequacy, and a constant need for validation. How could he keep hearing "God is good" all the time when all Matt could see was how mean He was.
Matt spent years doing all the good things he could to please God and stay in His good graces. Until he figured out he could never do enough 'good' to please God.
Listen in as Matt finds undiluted love, and freedom from fear & anxiety.

As Barb's mom continued to speak God's promises over her, Barb's rebellious spirit grew stronger. Despite her knowledge that she could always trust in God, her defiance led her down a path of choices that some believed she could never recover from.
Pregnant at 16 and a mom by 17, she was a high school drop out in an abusive relationship, smoking weed, and eventually in jail by the age of 19. Even when she attempted to "do the right thing” Barb seemed to be constantly stumbling. Her journey took her through prerequisite classes for nursing school, only to face rejection, and later expulsion from Respiratory Therapist school.
Frustrated and discouraged, Barb's rebellious personality drove her deeper into the clutches of addiction, particularly to her “drug of choice” meth. Quickly, Barb ended up in a downward spiral of increased IV drug use, more drug-related charges, and more time spent behind bars.
After a 13-year addiction, Barb found herself under a highway bridge in an encounter with a man that would alter the course of her destiny forever.
Listen in to this episode and witness the awe-inspiring journey of one woman's redemption and transformation through one man’s relentless pursuit of her.

Kaci's life has been filled with personal challenges, loss, and ultimately, healing. During our time together, she transparently shares her experiences with social anxiety and shyness, especially in big crowds, opening up about her personal struggles and how they've shaped her life.
As a teenager, Agriculture turned out to be Kaci's safe space. She talks about how it not only rescued her but also became the foundation for her personal growth and sense of purpose.
During her senior year of high school, Kaci was engaged and planned to be married shortly after graduation. This idea of marrying so young may seem odd to some but she's often been called an "old soul" and always significantly more mature than her years. But then an accident one early morning changed their entire future.
The accident had a profound impact on Kaci's faith. She candidly discusses her anger at God and the struggle to trust Him after such a heart-wrenching loss. Eventually, she turned 'in to' God instead of away from Him. After a time of mourning, love found its way back into Kaci's life. She shares her apprehensions about opening her heart once more after enduring such heartbreak. Hers is a story of a mended heart and trust.
Kaci stepped out in obedience amidst fear and anxiety to share her story with you. I hope you'll enjoy our time together as much as I did and that you'll walk away feeling encouraged.

At a young age, Dakota found himself surrounded by brokenness in the home and bullies at school. In his search for inclusion, he often attended community events including church revivals alone. Throughout his teen years as a local youth pastor poured into him, he continued to hold on to his self-proclaimed freedom. Due to the physical and verbal abuse taking place inside his home, he found himself often asking, "If God is real, why do bad things happen?".
Finally by his senior year, he was living with friends and carving out a better plan for his life which included college, baseball, and becoming a Physical Therapist.
Dakota's plan to steer clear of pastoral roles took an unexpected turn when he volunteered as a youth pastor intern under the guidance of his mentor. This decision marked a turning point that would forever change his life's trajectory. Despite a history of being bullied and doubting his leadership abilities, Dakota found himself consistently sought after for guidance by those around him. A calling on his life became increasingly evident, but he initially resisted, focusing instead on his dreams of a baseball career.
A pivotal moment arrived when a friend posed a simple yet profound question: "What's the point?" This query acted as a catalyst, causing Dakota to reevaluate his priorities. He recognized that his true calling lay in ministry, and he made the difficult decision to let go of his baseball aspirations.
Supported solely by his own determination and without familial backing, Dakota committed wholeheartedly to his newfound path. As a result, he has now dedicated a decade of his life to ministry. Alongside his wife, Shellie, and their three daughters, Dakota continues to embrace opportunities to serve and inspire students. Their journey reflects a resounding commitment to saying "yes" to the callings that resonate with their hearts.
As you tune into this episode, we invite you to draw inspiration from Dakota's story. Just as he found purpose and overcame challenges, remember that you too are pursued and valued. It's a reminder that the time has come to place your own "yes" on the table, embracing the possibilities that lie ahead.
