I Kept Praying for Them to Change | Alyssa Rahn | Ep. 144

You've been praying for someone you love.

A spouse who doesn't believe.

A child who seems uninterested.

A prodigal you're desperate to see come back to God.

And if you're honest, you've wondered:

"Why isn't anything changing?"

Alyssa Rahn spent years praying for her husband and children while feeling responsible for their relationship with God. The more she focused on changing them, the heavier the burden became.

Then a conversation with her young son revealed something she had completely missed.

What if God had been moving in her family long before she could see it?

If you've ever struggled with waiting on God, praying for a loved one, hearing God's voice, or believing for revival in your family, this conversation will give you a different way to recognize when God is already at work.

I Thought Joy Was for Other People | Noelle Hoffmeister | Ep. 143

Christian mental health gets complicated when you love God, know the verses, and still secretly wonder why peace feels easier for everyone else.

For decades, Noelle Hoffmeister believed depression wasn’t something she struggled with — it was who she was. Even while teaching in Christian schools, encouraging others, and trying counseling and medication, she carried a quiet belief she never fully said out loud:

“Maybe joy just isn’t for me.”

Then she started noticing how shame, repeated thoughts, and deeply rooted mental patterns were shaping the way she saw herself, God, and every promise she thought applied to other people first.

If you’ve ever smiled in public while privately feeling stuck in the same exhausting thought cycles… this conversation on depression and faith, renewing your mind, identity in Christ, and emotional healing may finally put words to something you’ve been carrying for years.

After 20 Years, They Found Her Birth Mother | Spencer & Lisa Breedlove | Ep. 142

You can be deeply loved and still feel like part of your story is missing.

Lisa Breedlove grew up knowing she was adopted, but for decades she carried unanswered questions about her biological mother, family history, identity, and where her story really began. Even routine doctor visits became painful reminders of everything she didn’t know.

After nearly 20 years of searching, Lisa and her husband Spencer finally got the call they thought would never come: her birth mother had been found.

But their adoption reunion story became about far more than answers. What unfolded was a deeply personal conversation about hidden grief, waiting, forgiveness, family, and what happens when pieces of your story finally start making sense.

If you’ve ever wrestled with unanswered questions, identity, abandonment, or wondering why parts of your life unfolded the way they did, this conversation will feel deeply personal.

They Were Clinically Dead… Yet Knew Things They Shouldn’t | Michael Zigarelli | Ep. 141

Near-death experiences are forcing people to ask harder questions about life after death.

Because when people across different decades and backgrounds keep describing strikingly similar experiences after clinically dying… it gets difficult to ignore.

Professor Michael Zigarelli spent years investigating accounts that included verified details people had no normal way of knowing.

And if you’ve ever wondered whether there could actually be evidence for something beyond this life… this conversation will challenge what you think you know about death, eternity, and the afterlife.

They Hurt Me On Purpose… How Do I Forgive Them? | Terrell & Brandy Scott | Ep. 140

Forgiving someone who hurt you on purpose sounds impossible… especially when they knew exactly what they were doing.

If you’ve ever struggled with forgiveness after betrayal, anger, or deep emotional pain… you’ll recognize this tension immediately.

You can know what’s right— and still not want to do it.

That doesn’t make you a bad person.

Because it’s different when they hurt you intentionally.

Today, we’re talking with Pastors Terrell and Brandy Scott—

And their story doesn’t start with healing. It starts with a decision she didn’t want to make.

And what happened after that… is not what you’d expect.

Because sometimes the person you can’t imagine forgiving is the very person connected to the healing you never saw coming.

His Wife Had an Affair… And He Was Different by Morning | Matthew Lovell | Ep. 139

Some Christian testimonies about hearing God’s voice don’t start the way you’d expect.

Matthew Lovell thought he knew God. He was sure of it—until the night everything broke.

He was showing up. Praying. Doing what he believed was right.

He wasn’t questioning it.

He thought that was all faith was.

Then he found out his wife was having an affair—right before their 5-year anniversary.

That night, he’s in his kitchen.

Music blasting. Cleaning. Crying. Trying to process what just happened.

But instead of shutting down… something happens that doesn’t make sense.

Not slowly.

Not over time.

In that moment, everything in him changes.

And he encounters God in a way he never had before.

The anger you’d expect isn’t there.

The bitterness doesn’t take hold.

It doesn’t just get him through it—

it completely redefines what he thought faith was.

What he thought was normal faith… wasn’t.

And what he once dismissed as impossible… suddenly isn’t.

If your faith has ever felt real—but limited— this will make you question where the line actually is.

Forgiveness Didn’t Fix It… Now How Do You Rebuild? | Inés Franklin | Ep. 138

You asked God to forgive you. But forgiveness didn’t remove the consequences of what you did.

You can’t go back and change it. And your relationships didn’t stay the same.

So now you’re left trying to figure out how to move forward with God when your life doesn’t look the way you thought it would.

Inés Franklin shares what it looks like to rebuild after choices she couldn’t undo and what actually has to change when nothing around you resets.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to rebuild from there, this is the part most people don’t know how to do.

If this hits close to home, you can go deeper with Inés Franklin in her book Blended & Blessed, where she shows how the Beatitudes shape what rebuilding looks like with Jesus at the center.

I Knew It Was God… I Didn’t Want To Do It | Shayla Jesse | Ep. 137

You know what God is asking you to do.

You just keep hoping it’s not Him.

You feel it clearly, but the questions get louder.

What if you’re wrong? What if you’re not ready?

Shayla Jesse had that moment.

Clear direction and a quiet resistance she couldn’t ignore.

Then something shifted.

It wasn’t about proving herself ready.

It was about saying yes before she felt ready.

And what came after changed how she sees hearing God’s voice and responding when it doesn’t feel easy.

Shayla Jesse, speaker and author of Answering the Call, returns for a deeper conversation on what it actually looks like to move when you’re not ready and how to follow God when you feel unqualified.

If you’ve been hesitating on something you know you’re supposed to do, this will help you recognize it and move forward without having everything figured out.

I put everything for you right HERE.

Her Son Lost Part of His Foot… She Wasn’t Thinking About Miracles | Shelley Kemp | Ep. 136

You see the message and your stomach drops.

“come home now.”

No explanation. Just enough to know something’s wrong.

An unexpected moment that led to something no one could explain.

You’re already moving, trying to think, trying to stay calm—but you’ve never dealt with anything like this before.

That’s where Shelley Kemp found herself when her son’s accident changed everything in a single afternoon.

Not just because of what happened…

but because she didn’t know what to do next.

There was no plan for this.

No past experience to pull from.

Just decisions that had to be made in real time.

And what she did in the middle of that…

is probably not what you’d expect.

If you’ve ever had a moment where you didn’t know what to do… listen to how this unfolded—and send it to someone who’s in that place right now.

To go deeper into what she started doing in that moment, you’ll find everything HERE.

You Thought It Was Your Miracle… Then You Lost It | Dawn Pruszkowski | Ep. 135

You thought it finally worked.

The thing you prayed for. Believed for. Even when the odds said it shouldn’t.

And then it didn’t.

Now you’re trying to make sense of a God you still believe in… but don’t understand the same way anymore.

Dawn Pruszkowski lived through that—trying to hold onto faith in the middle of it.

She didn’t get answers right away. But something shifted in a moment she didn’t expect.

Not the outcome… but how she learned to trust God again after what didn’t last.

If you’ve ever wrestled with trusting God when what you believed for didn’t last…

this is the part you don’t skip.

After The Miscarriage… God Wasn’t Finished | April Farlow | Ep. 134

You trust God.

But you still find yourself wondering… why hasn’t this prayer been answered?

April Farlow knows that tension.

She spent years praying to become a mother while watching other families grow around her.

The delays were confusing. The miscarriage was devastating. And the silence from God raised questions she never expected to ask.

But what felt like the end was quietly shaping something she couldn’t see yet.

A ministry. A new kind of family. A life she never would have planned.

If you’ve ever wrestled with unanswered prayers or questioned God in a season of waiting, this conversation may shift how you see it.

Sometimes the miracle God is preparing is larger than the one you were asking for.

If this is a season you’re walking through and you want to connect with April or explore what she shares beyond this conversation, you can find her HERE

The Moment She Realized It Wasn’t Just Her Thoughts | Hearing God’s Voice | Sheila Hara | Ep.133

Have you ever had a thought you couldn’t shake… and wondered if it meant something more?

Not loud.

Not dramatic.

Just something small that kept coming back.

That’s where this started for Sheila Hara.

In the middle of raising three kids and managing a full, busy life, she began noticing quiet nudges she almost ignored. Nothing obvious. Nothing urgent. But over time, those moments started forming a pattern.

And following them changed everything.

In this conversation, Sheila shares what it actually looked like to begin hearing God’s voice in everyday life — not in big, dramatic ways, but in ordinary moments most people overlook.

You’ll hear how she learned to:

• recognize when a thought wasn’t random

• pay attention to subtle prompting

• trust what didn’t always make sense at first

If you’ve ever questioned whether something you felt was really God… this will help you see it differently.

Because sometimes the thing that feels easiest to dismiss

is the very thing meant to guide you.

If someone comes to mind while listening, share this with them. It might be exactly what they’ve been asking God for.

Hope, Light & Wonder—created from the same kind of everyday moments with God you hear in this episode—will be available starting April 2026 at Hidden Gems in Monument, Colorado.

What If That Isn’t Actually Your Limit? | Terry Tripp | Ep. 132

There’s usually something we quietly accept as the limit.

A weakness.

A struggle.

Something that never seemed to come as naturally as it did for everyone else.

So we adjust.

We build our lives around it… and stop expecting much to change.

Dr. Terry Tripp, also known as Doctor Blue Duck, grew up unable to communicate clearly.

People often had to speak for him.

But he didn’t stay there.

He worked relentlessly to improve.

To read better.

To communicate clearly.

And in that process, God met him.

Today, his voice is the very thing he uses to teach and lead others.

Because the thing he once believed was the limit was never meant to be permanent.

This is one of those God stories that makes you stop and ask…

What if the thing I’ve accepted isn’t actually the end of the story?

And if someone just came to mind…

don’t ignore that.

Send this to them.

I Prayed… Nothing Changed | Waiting on God | Debra E. Johnson | Ep. 131

They keep calling you. You keep praying. And nothing changes.

That’s the space Debra E. Johnson found herself in.

130: What Helps a Marriage Grow (And What Quietly Hurts It) | Josh & Shelly Hankins

Not everything that seems like it should help your marriage actually does.

In this episode, Josh and Shelly break down what they’ve learned firsthand—what strengthened their relationship, what quietly created distance, and what they didn’t realize until they were already in it.

This isn’t theory. It’s what actually played out.

They share the patterns that didn’t work, the shifts that made the biggest difference, and how small changes in how they communicated and showed up began to change everything.

This conversation will help you:

• Recognize what may be hurting your marriage without realizing it

• Understand what actually helps a marriage grow over time

• Make simple shifts that lead to real connection

If you’ve ever wondered what really works in marriage—and what doesn’t—this episode will give you clarity.

129: Husband Feels Distant? How to Reconnect and Fix It with Heather O’Brien

Why does he feel distant… even though nothing big happened?

You’re still talking. Still showing up. But something feels different—and you can’t pinpoint when it changed.

This conversation with Heather O’Brien gets underneath emotional distance in marriage—where it actually starts and why it’s so hard to fix once it’s there.

Because emotional disconnection doesn’t usually happen overnight. It often begins with something unspoken, unresolved, or unmet—and over time, that turns into withdrawal, resentment, and feeling alone in your own marriage.

If you’ve been wondering how to fix emotional distance in your marriage, this will help you see where it began, what’s really happening underneath, and how to move forward.

Don’t ignore that feeling—listen now and send this to someone you’ve been feeling it with.

128: Why Your Marriage Feels Off (And How to Fix It) with Heather O’Brien

Nothing is technically wrong… but something feels off in your marriage.

No conflict. No crisis. Just a quiet disappointment you haven’t named.

This episode is for Christian wives who love God but feel tension in their marriage and aren’t sure why. When disappointment goes unspoken, it doesn’t fade—it reshapes how you see your spouse, yourself, and even God.

If you’ve been looking for Christian marriage advice, clarity in your relationship, or understanding emotional distance in marriage, this conversation will help you recognize what’s already happening beneath the surface.

Before resentment takes root, God often invites you to pause… and listen.

In part one of this two-part conversation, Heather O’Brien (Heal with God Podcast) walks through where disappointment actually begins, how communication breaks down in marriage, and how to respond with clarity, faith, and truth.

You’ll learn how to:

• recognize early signs of tension in marriage

• examine what you’re believing about your spouse

• hear God’s voice in your relationship

• and take the next faithful step—before it grows louder

If you’ve been praying for clarity in your marriage but aren’t sure how to move forward, this episode will help you see what you’ve been feeling… more clearly.

If this resonates, consider sharing it with someone who may be navigating similar challenges in their marriage.

127: God Shut the Door. Now What? — Ali Jacaruso

What do you do when life looks successful on the outside—but something inside still feels unsettled, tense, and hollow?

This episode is for anyone who loves God yet quietly wonders why peace hasn’t followed obedience. Ali Jacaruso shares from a season when achievement, spiritual substitutes, and constant striving offered relief that felt convincing—but never lasted. What seemed like peace on the surface couldn’t reach the deeper unrest her body and soul were carrying.

When God intervened, it wasn’t subtle. Everything she relied on began to fall silent, forcing a decision: keep accepting temporary calm, or trust God when He removes what once felt secure. What followed was not instant clarity, but a slow restoration of identity, safety, and trust—rooted in the kind of peace only God can give.

As the conversation unfolds, you’ll recognize why striving can keep the body on edge, how counterfeit peace can mask deeper misalignment, and why God sometimes grows quiet before restoring true peace beneath the surface. This episode invites you to trust God when He’s rebuilding you from the inside out.

If this met you where you are, consider sharing it with someone who may be walking through a similar season.
