In this episode, we sit down with Jeremy Cato—husband to Christina, dad to Tyler, Tony, and Marissa. He and Christina are the children’s pastors at Restoring Hope Church. Raised in the Mormon faith, Jeremy opens up about the slow unraveling of old beliefs and the surprising moments that led him into a Spirit-filled life. He shares how his past informs his passion for ministry and what it means to truly walk in relationship with Jesus. It’s a story of discovery, redemption, and purpose—told with honesty, depth, and a whole lot of heart.

In this episode, we sit down with Jon Penhollow—husband to Terah, father of Logan, elder at Restoring Hope Church, and longtime Sunday school teacher. Jon’s journey from Baptist tradition to a vibrant Pentecostal faith is full of heart, humility, and Holy Spirit surprises. We talk about what shaped his early beliefs, what drew him deeper into the presence of God, and how his role as a husband, father, and church leader is rooted in both Scripture and surrender. This one is rich with wisdom, warmth, and a few good laughs along the way.
