This episode could also be titled, “The Broken - Unbroken. When life broke them, Christ held them together.”

I laughed. I cried. This story will move you.

Farmer Todd grew up knowing that he would happily fulfill his family expectations of being a sugar beet farmer on the family farm outside the little northern Minnesota Town of Climax. But instead of this being the pinnacle of his life, God said it's just the beginning.

Today Todd shares how he faced the loss of dreams, letting his parents down when he felt called to something instead of farming, and countless other times in his life of darkness and insecurity of the unknown future.

Todd has chosen intentional Faith in God and how God has delighted in blessing him through the trials.

One of these big trials of the unknown future was as Todd and his wife Karen fought cancer for 16 years, terminal cancer for 8 of those years. While raising two kids in the middle of their fight, Todd and Karen didn't just talk about a loving God. Their kids saw a loving God show up time and time again. Todd shares an excellent example of how his wife parented children who grew up watching their mom fight cancer and prepare for her departure.

Todd shares his struggle as a widower following the loss of half of himself.

God doesn't focus on how we're not like him, but instead on how He makes us like Him.
