In this deeply moving episode of Truth in Love, host Kimberly Faith sits down with Debbie Dieman to share the powerful story of her son, Christopher. From childhood injuries that led to a battle with pain and addiction, to the transformative moments of repentance and reconciliation with Christ just days before his passing, Christopher’s journey is one of heartbreak, redemption, and eternal hope.

Debbie opens her heart as a mother who prayed, believed, and ultimately witnessed God’s grace in her son’s final days. Together, Kimberly and Debbie discuss judgment, self-addiction, the hope of salvation, and the miracle of a prodigal coming home. Christopher’s legacy continues through the seeds he planted in others, including lives forever changed by his testimony.

This episode is a reminder that eternity is real, salvation is urgent, and God can use even our deepest pain to bring forth His greatest glory.

What does an intimate relationship with God actually do in a believer’s life? And if you don’t have it, how do you get it?

In this episode, Kimberly Faith and her father, John McLarty, outline eight real benefits of walking closely with God—benefits like peace, strength, joy, wisdom, and divine purpose. They explain how intimacy with God isn’t a vague concept but a practical foundation that shapes everything from how we make decisions to how we face hardship.

They also share five clear, biblical steps for how to build that intimacy: daily time with God, continual prayer, obedience, staying connected to the church, and cutting off anything that interferes with your connection to Him.

If you’ve been saved but feel spiritually dry, anxious, or misaligned, this conversation points directly to how to reset and return to a thriving relationship with God.

In this powerful episode, Kimberly Faith sits down with Eli Lee, a former Amish man turned missionary to the remote Miskito people of Nicaragua. Eli shares how he grew up in a deeply religious but rule-bound culture that offered no assurance of salvation, and how a long season of physical suffering and desperation led him to cry out to God with a sincere heart.

His journey takes us from generational Amish traditions and spiritual confusion to the peace and freedom of knowing Jesus personally. Eli’s story is not just about leaving the Amish community—it’s about discovering the true meaning of grace, experiencing the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and faithfully following God’s call across nations. Today, he and his family serve in one of the most remote regions of Central America, bringing the gospel to those who have never heard.

Whether you’ve ever questioned religion, wrestled with fear, or wondered what real surrender looks like, this conversation will challenge you to consider what it means to truly belong to Christ.

In this episode, Kimberly Faith and John McLarty discuss the life-changing truth that Jesus is not only the Word made flesh—but the Living Word who dwells in every believer. They begin with John 1 and Colossians 1, laying a biblical foundation for understanding how Jesus was present at creation, is fully God, and is still actively working in us today. Through conversation and analogies—from houses with closed-off rooms to trusted coaches like Roger Staubach—they explore how God’s written Word and Living Word are meant to work together in our lives.

What happens when we read the Bible with a surrendered heart instead of just seeking knowledge? What rooms are we keeping locked in our spiritual house? How do we let God light up every part of us with truth and purpose? And why does it matter that Jesus is the Word—not just in theory, but in practice?

This episode is a call to open the door to transformation—by plugging into the power of God's written Word, allowing it to illuminate our hearts, renew our minds, and awaken us to the purpose and greatness God designed us for.

Kimberly Faith welcomes Esther Malone Reznicek for a candid look at how God can transform creativity into ministry. Esther is a missionary-turned-creative and founder of Elevate Design, a nonprofit design ministry helping churches, missionaries, and Christian nonprofits communicate their message with clarity and beauty. From her childhood salvation experience and call to missions in Africa, to her faith-defining moment of surrender in college, Esther shares how God redirected her steps to create a unique ministry rooted in visual communication.

Esther opens up about wrestling with identity after returning from the mission field and how God reshaped her understanding of ministry to include the digital space. She offers insight into why visual design matters for the gospel, how creativity reflects God's nature, and the power of being a vessel of hope in fractured communities—including post-apartheid South Africa.

With grace and wisdom, Esther reminds us that our greatest identity is not in what we do, but in being children of God—and that even "ordinary" gifts, when surrendered to Him, can change lives around the world.

In this insightful discussion, Kimberly Faith and her father, John McLarty, talk about one of the most important yet often overlooked parts of the Christian life—repentance.

They speak plainly about what repentance is, why it's necessary for salvation, and how it shapes our relationship with God every day. This isn’t about checking boxes or following rules. It’s about letting go of sin and turning fully to the God who loves us and wants what’s best for us.

Through Scripture and real-life examples, they share how repentance leads to peace, renewed desires, and a deeper awareness of God’s presence. Whether you're questioning your salvation or just feel distant from God, this episode is a reminder that repentance is not a punishment—it’s a gift. And it’s never too late to receive it.

What does it truly mean to “know” God?

In this deeply personal and spiritually rich episode, Kimberly Faith and her father, John McLarty, sit down for a heartfelt conversation exploring the three biblical levels of knowing God:

1. Acknowledging God’s existence

2. Receiving the gift of salvation

3. Walking in an intimate relationship with Him

Through candid stories, biblical truth, and relatable analogies—from desert thirst to marriage commitments—they guide listeners through the transformative journey from simply believing in God to living in vibrant communion with Him. Whether you're someone who "has always known about God" or you're yearning for a deeper spiritual connection, this conversation invites you to evaluate where you stand and what it means to pursue the abundant life Jesus offers.

Don’t miss this episode if you’re ready to move from head knowledge to heart transformation—and experience a faith that’s active, intimate, and alive.

From a childhood friendship to a calling across the globe, Bill and Sue McDonald’s story is one of radical transformation and surrendered purpose. In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Kimberly Faith sits down with Bill and Sue McDonald, a couple whose journey has taken them from a childhood friendship in New York to the in the U.S. Army—and ultimately to the mission fields of Vietnam. Bill, a former Army Ranger and veteran, shares how God used two near-death parachute accidents to get his undivided attention and call him into a life of radical obedience. Sue opens up about her own resistance to missions and how God gently led her heart to surrender.

Together, they’ve spent two decades teaching English in northern Vietnam, living out the Gospel through relationships, hospitality, and unwavering love. Whether they’re holding hands in public, hugging students who’ve never known affection, or hosting “Library Night” in their home, their ministry is proof that God can use everyday acts of faithfulness to change lives—and even shift culture. This is a front-row seat to the presence of God in Vietnam, and a testimony of what God can do when we simply say “yes.”

What happens when six faithful friends reunite to remember God’s work through their music? Kimberly Faith sits down with all six members of the beloved 1970/80s Christian music group Living Waters. What began around a campfire in Arkansas with three new believers burning their pot plants and praising God turned into a 15-year music ministry that touched countless lives.

Jeanne Champagne, Dennis Champagne, Wayne Gustafson, Sally Gustafson, Emile Phaneuf, and Connie Phaneuf share how God formed the group, inspired their music, and carried them through years of ministry—from local restaurants to church stages to musical productions like His Name is Jesus. Through laughter, tears, and stories of breakdowns, breakthroughs, and miraculous provisions, this episode offers a powerful testimony to the way God uses imperfect people to carry a perfect message.
