Walking with Kelley and Kristy

This Isn't Good... But God, You Are

This is a conversation about faith that rises above circumstances and a hope that is anchored in Christ.

The Cutler's story continues to unfold, but God remains faithful and is holding them close through every step on their journey. And HE wants to do the same for each of us. 

Keep Walking!

Today's episode was originally recorded in August of 2025. Since this recording, The Cutler family has continued to Walk with the Lord through very difficult health challenges. Next week we have a treat because Traci joins Josh at the table to share. Together, they make ONE amazing team.

We pray that as you listen - you are encouraged to take both the big and small steps of faith & obedience, because we know God's peace and His presence truly bring health and freedom to our unfinished stories.

Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." 

Our paths are very different, but we often battle some of the same things: fear and all the what ifs.

We are reminded again this week that we can’t be anxious and grateful at the same time -- so when those fears and what if thoughts begin to invade your mind, remember you can choose to be grateful for the blessings you do see in our life, and it will change your perspective.

We know that gratitude shifts our focus from what we lack to what we’ve been given — His presence, His promises, and His peace. Keeping a positive perspective begins with trusting that God is still working, even in the unseen, and believing that He is using every moment, even the hard ones, to draw us closer and shape us more like Christ.

Keep Walking Friends!

We all know that life is filled with ups and downs. There are seasons of joy and seasons of hardship. But one thing we can be absolutely certain of is this: our Savior, Jesus Christ, will never leave us or forsake us. He is walking with us every step of the way. He sees what you’re going through, He knows what we’re facing, and what a privilege it is to call on Him and trust Him through it all.

Today we are so blessed to have our friend Juniper with us. The joy of the Lord truly is her strength, and that has been evident to everyone who knows her. We pray this conversation encourages you and that you will call on Jesus today to be your STRENGTH when you feel weak or tired! We love you. #KEEPWALKING

Today we are excited to welcome back our friend, Tommy Turpin, to the podcast. Tommy's story is one of God's redeeming grace, transformation, and His faithfulness. Tommy shared his testimony with us back in August of 2025. As a recovering addict whose life has been radically changed by the power of Jesus Christ, Tommy now spends his days helping others find hope, healing, and freedom through their own personal relationship with Christ and through Changed Lives Ministries located in Moncks Corner, SC.

One of the things we love most about Tommy is his willingness to share honestly about where God has brought him from and the incredible work God continues to do in his life.

We pray you find hope and encouragement through his testimony today.

GOD you are THE Way Maker, Miracle Worker, Promise Keeper, Light in the darkness, THAT IS WHO YOU ARE! We are grateful for the healing and restoration we can have in you!

Thanks for Walking with us today and everyday you do.

Today, is a REPLAY episode! Originally recorded in August 2025.

In this episode, Tommy Turpin from Changed Lives Ministry, joins us at the table to share his personal transformation story from addiction to true healing and freedom in Christ.  As Tommy began to develop a true relationship with his Heavenly Father, he also spent countless hours, days, and even months receiving the necessary help to overcome an addiction to alcohol and drugs. His struggle with addiction nearly robbed him of the life he now knows. Tommy's testimony is full of HOPE and HEALING that undoubtedly points to the power of JESUS CHRIST in his life. If you are struggling with addiction or know someone who is - please reach out for help. People are ready and willing to love you and guide you into a life of healing and freedom. God wants to redeem and restore what the enemy has tried to steal from you too. Today is a new day, and with CHRIST nothing is impossible.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." - 2 Corinthians 5:17

Today we are honored to have Theresa Halverson at the table. Theresa's steady faith and her ability to point herself and others back to the goodness and faithfulness of God is such an encouragement to anyone she comes into contact with. Whether she's serving her family, helping clients find a home, or encouraging a friend, she reflects the love of Christ in practical and meaningful ways.

As we continue our season on Walking in the Promises of God, Theresa joins us to share what it looks like to trust God's promises in everyday life—not just during mountaintop moments, but in the ordinary, day-to-day journey of following Him.

If you live in the Lowcountry of South Carolina and looking to buy or sell your next home, you need to reach out. She would love to serve you!

Our guest today addresses many of the very topics that so many of us wrestle with—whether that’s chronic illness, unexpected divorce, rebellious children, financial setbacks, or simply navigating circumstances we never would have chosen. Through it all, we can trust the promises of God, and we can trust that His Word remains our anchor no matter what we face.

Today, we’re honored to have a conversation with Shelbi, the creator of the Instagram account Hope Lives Here. We encourage you to follow along with her journey and be encouraged by what God is teaching her as she walks out a real, transparent relationship with Christ in the midst of chronic illness.

It’s easy to get caught up in the cycle of - God can do it, but he’s not doing it and if he’s not doing it, why? And if he’s not doing it, is he mad at me or is he punishing me? Does he really love me? Those kinds of questions are real for believers and unbelievers alike.

God isn’t intimidated by our questions, and He invites us to bring every part of our hearts to Him. We pray today's conversation encourages YOU - as you too are walking out your faith with a God who knows you, sees you, hears you, and more than anything - LOVES YOU!

Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy: Discovering the Grace of Lament

The primary Bible verse about the "God who sees" is Genesis 16:13 , where Hagar names God El Roi after He finds her in the desert.

"So she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, 'You are a God of seeing,' for she said, 'Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.'" – Genesis 16:13 (ESV) 

The name Ishmael in Hebrew means “God hears”.

“…You shall bear a son, and you shall call his name Ishmael, because the LORD has given heed to your affliction.”  Gen. 16:11

Within this one chapter, God has revealed two of His faculties, or attributes, that humans both share in, and understand:  hearing and sight. 

Thank you God that you see us, you hear us, and you LOVE us!

What happens when God's promises meet our deepest brokenness?

In this powerful episode, we're joined by our dear friend Canaan, whose life is a beautiful testimony of God's redeeming love and faithfulness. From the bondage of addiction to the freedom found in Christ, Canaan shares her journey of healing, restoration, and the incredible ways God has fulfilled His promises in her life.

As you listen, you'll hear how God carried her through some of her darkest seasons, redeemed what once seemed lost, restored her marriage, and led her into a life marked by hope, freedom, and abundance. Her story is a reminder that no matter where you've been or what you're facing today, God's promises remain true.

Anchored in Isaiah 41:10, Canaan's testimony points us to the God who strengthens, helps, and upholds His children through every trial:

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Join us for a conversation filled with honesty, hope, and encouragement as we discover what it looks like to walk confidently in the promises of God and experience the abundant life He offers.

This is a story of redemption. A story of restoration. A story of a God who never lets go.

Today we're talking about a truth that many of us have had to cling to in some of life's hardest moments: God is near to the brokenhearted.

If you've walked through disappointment, loss, grief, betrayal, unanswered prayers, or seasons that simply didn't unfold the way you hoped, then you know what it feels like to carry a heavy heart. Difficult seasons can leave us wondering where God is and whether His promises still apply to us in the middle of our pain.

Yet Scripture reminds us in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." What a beautiful promise—that God doesn't wait for us to have it all together before He comes close. He meets us right in the middle of our sorrow, our questions, and our struggles.

One of the most powerful ways we experience God's faithfulness is not by avoiding hardship, but by discovering that He walks with us through it. His presence becomes our comfort, His promises become our anchor, and His love sustains us when we feel weak.

Today, our guest Melanie Robinson joins us to talk about what it looks like to trust God in difficult seasons, how His nearness brings hope to broken hearts, and how we can continue walking in His promises even when the road is hard. Our prayer is that wherever you find yourself today, you'll be reminded that you are never walking alone. The same God who has been faithful in every season is with you now, and He will continue to carry you forward.
