The Whether Channel

For the grande finale of season 2, we are sharing our very favorite stories of God's faithfulness. There have been so many times over the past two years that have been terrifying, but as we reflect we can see how faithful God was each and every time. If right now you're terrified or feeling hopeless about how a difficult situation is going to turn out, turn this up and deny the devil the satisfaction of whispering fear into your ears in the silence. At the very least, this collection of stories will be excellent bedtime story material.

Last week we skimmed the surface of this topic. This week we are diving in head first. We're talking about pornography, how to initiate sex when one partner is unable or seemingly uninterested, cultural pressures on marital sexuality and so much more. Please use discretion with little ears around as we are using vocabulary that may not be as kid friendly as our typical content.

In this episode I'm having a conversation with my very favorite co-host, my husband, Ben Christian. We are chatting about what our relationship looked like, specifically regarding intimacy, while I was going through cancer treatment. We pray our transparency encourages your heart if you find yourself in a similar position as our family did just a short time ago.

Today we're going to chat about what I was experiencing emotionally and spiritually at the time of my diagnosis. I pray this brings hope, awareness and encouragement, friends!

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is "what were your symptoms before you were diagnosed?" So in this episode, I'm sharing all about the symptoms that ultimately led to a cancer diagnosis, how the cancer was discovered, what was going through my mind and more. My desire in sharing this info is to encourage awareness about young adult cancers as I wish I were more educated prior to diagnosis so that I could've caught it earlier than later.

In today's interview I'm sitting face to face with Emily Settle, who walked her daughter Lucy (4 years old) home to Jesus last year after Lucy fought a sudden and severe battle with cancer. This story, of how her parents prepared her for that moment, has encouraged my faith incredibly. There is not a "right way" to process losing a child, but if one of my greatest fears were realized (losing one of my girls) I pray my heart would reflect that of the Settles.

Today I have the pleasure of introducing you to my friend Brittany Smith. She and I lived together in college, she was one of many who predicted my marriage to Ben (even when I denied it would happen) and today she is sharing about the miraculous healing the Lord has gifted her. But, even beyond healing Brittany has encouraged my heart so much as she teaches and reminds us of who God is in tragedy. If you're deeply suffering right now- physically, emotionally, spiritually- we get it; It's so hard. Come let your soul find rest in Jesus as we hear about who he is through the eyes of Britt.
