    Hi! I came across this podcast as I was praying for wisdom with a certain relationship with a brother in Christ. It’s been such a painful one the past 8 years, and I was finally at the point where I was ready to cut it off. A sister in Christ helped me rethink my motives. “How do you love Christ and love him as a brother in Christ in this?”. I was mad at the question. I started listing off all the reasons why I should cut him off. She sat there in silence listening to me. The more I talked the m... more

  • Trauma

    Thank you for the sermon on trauma by Ed. It was so true and understanding. I’ve gone through a lot of trauma in my life. As a child, I was sexually abused by my father, which I know has filled me with fear of people. But the worst trauma to happen to my family and me was the death of my grandsons. They died 10 years apart. My mother died, my husband had a stroke and my beloved nephew died. My granddaughter has OCD and never been to school and can’t work.

    God has helped us all tremendously thr... more

  • My comfort podcast!

    Thank you for always pointing me to gospel truth and encouraging me in Jesus! As I serve on the field in the Middle East and do not have access to good Christian community or a local church to fill me up spiritually, I cannot even explain how meaningful and helpful your podcast has been to me. It’s not only practically helpful, but it always centers me back on Jesus and the beauty of His nearness and promises. I need the reminder. Thank you!
