At that moment, the questions flooded into Simone’s mind, but one thing she knew to her core – THIS is not right.

When Tim Schulte was 12 years old, his parents divorced and his mom moved away. Finding himself without emotional support, Tim feels isolated and starts believing 4 lies about himself:  I’m unlovable, I’m not good enough, I’ll never be good enough, and God is continually disappointed in me.  These 4 lies would start Tim on a path of destruction that no coping mechanism could conceal.

Imagine if things were so desperate in your home country that you felt like your only option was to pack up your family and travel through chaos in order to survive.  You get to the border of a new country and send your children off into the unknown, unsure of what awaits them.

In this unique episode, Brain and Stephanie share their first-hand experience of caring for unaccompanied children who have crossed the border into the U.S. This episode gives not only facts of what’s happening at the border, but also reveals God’s heart for His children – on both sides of the border.
