  • LoveTalk Network - Episode 574: Faith in Every Season: Counting the Gifts - Audio
    Co-hosts Kerri Brinkoeter, Cathy Endebrock, and Marlene McMichael discuss the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. In this program, the co-hosts explore the theme of cultivating a heart of thanksgiving by recognizing God’s provision and grace in every season of life, anchored in 1 Thessalonians 5:18: “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” In Season 1, gratitude is reframed as an inner posture rather than a reaction to circumstances, illustrated by “greasy pizza hug” moments where everyday chaos becomes divine delay. Season 2 highlights the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17, showing that gratitude is the difference-maker—nine received healing, but only the Samaritan who returned received relationship, reminding us that thanksgiving rewires the heart. Season 3 addresses silence, teaching that God’s quiet seasons are not absence but invitations to trust Him, rejoicing even before the harvest. Season 4 confronts storms of grief and despair, emphasizing that thanksgiving is not denial of pain but defiance against despair, anchoring us to God’s sovereignty. Together, these lessons remind us that gratitude is transformative—it shifts focus from circumstances to Christ, deepens relationship with Him, and strengthens resilience in both joy and trial.

  • VOMRadio - A HEART OF FIRE: Her Husband Was Martyred, But She Refused to Leave

    In 2018, Huldah's husband was martyred for his Christian witness. Family and friends urged Huldah to leave the village, to retreat to a safer location. She refused, and seven years later she is still living and serving the Lord in the same village. "My God is great, and He will take care of me," she says.

    Listen as Huldah shares how God has cared for her since her husband's death, often using members of Christ's body to serve and support her in times of need.

    She'll also talk about the process of forgiveness. Huldah still sees the people who killed her husband, yet she doesn't hold a grudge in her heart but instead has forgiven them.

    Hear what Huldah's ministry looks like today in the village, and how she lives out Matthew 25:40's call to serve the Lord by caring for the least of these. Huldah will also encourage widows and those who feel like, because of age or a loss they've experienced, they can no longer be used by the Lord—sharing the very truths with which the Lord has encouraged her.

    To read more of Huldah's story, get your free copy of Hearts of Fire 2. You'll be inspired by Huldah's story, along with those of other women who stood boldly for Christ in the face of  Christian persecution.
