They thought the marriage couldn't get much worse.

Anthony asked himself, "Will it get better? Is there a way to save this? To save us? What is marriage even supposed to really look like?"

With a supernatural and spiritual God, the answer is always yes. Transformation is always possible. He can do, and will do anything, and will step in to save, change, and redeem.

Marriage isn't easy. Being married to a First Responder is even harder. Being married to a First Responder and having your own issues behind the scenes is hardest of all. Possibly even a toxic combination.

Starting to drink in the morning, useless by the afternoon. Finding worth in the accolades of a law enforcement job that pushes you to the brink and will take everything, if you let it. Watching your wife suffer over a past that you have no idea how to fix or change.

When it all comes together and takes you to the edge, the only thing you can do is let God redeem and transform it.

And He always will. If you're open, if you ask, and if you truly let Him.

Hope, Healing, and Peace abounds.

Leave me alone.

I don't want anything to do with the spiritual or supernatural. Steve walked away from that stuff long ago.

Steve told his wife that God, religion, that's your thing. I'm not reading the Bible. Leave me out of it. I want no part of it. Even after she was healed, in an instant.

Leaving faith so long ago, Steve never thought he'd come back. Then, questions. Of life, of more, his job as a First Responder, as a police officer made him question all that is and could be. But He wasn't heading back to church. There had to be something different.

Crystals, meditation, light, freedom, what's out there? What is God? Where is He? But nothing satisfied. Nothing held. Nothing filled.

His wife's sadness, depression, he wasn't sure how to help. Then, one day, it was gone. She had life. What happened? Medications? Life change? Spells, crystals, chance?

No. She told him, she'd been reading the Bible. Oh, and she reached out to Christ to be a part of her life. But Steve didn't have to. She wouldn't force it. She just wanted him to know.

Steve wasn't having any part of it. Until he was. Until like a Christmas morning something happened.

And he, and his family, would never be the same.

Who am I? Am I worthy? Do I mean anything? Am I loved?

Morgan thought God led her to be a Firefighter and First Responder. Turns out it was the worst experience of her life. As the darkness she dealt with piled up, not only on the job, but also inside the firehouse from her own co-workers, it seemed like the only way out was by her own hand.

Is the spiritual and supernatural real? Does God really hear me in my pain and struggle? Is there a point to the suffering? Is He really even there?

Things shouldn't be this way.

Life shouldn't be this difficult. God is leading, right? Christ did tell me to do this, right? That's what she thought she had always heard.

He has a purpose, a plan, and a point. She'd heard that so many times. But during her own struggles, she had questions that weren't answered. Jesus, are you there? Really? Because it sure doesn't feel like it right now.

Turns out God had other plans. Did Christ lead her into the fire just to come out as a new person? Maybe. She thinks so. Time will tell.

But Jesus held up His end of the bargain she made on that fateful day in the psychiatric ward, so now she's holding up hers.

It is truly an invitation to peace, and to connect, with God.

Do I belong here? Should I be doing this? What is God's will? Am I doing things the right way? Is this what God wants for me?

When you find yourself more focused and invested in work as a police officer, as a First Responder, than in your own family and marriage. When your wife tells you she's thinking of being a single parent and moving on.

Choices need to be made. The RIGHT ones. Why not lean on the leadership of a spiritual and supernatural God who knows and sees all to help you make the decisions that truly matter.

Scott did back then, and he will always as he moves forward. Christ will lead it. But you have to be willing to be led, and to do the hard things.

It might not be easy, but Jesus, and everything He brings, is well worth it.

Is there more? How do I change my life? How can I find hope, healing, and peace? Purpose and meaning?

Is there really more that we can't see? The Spiritual realm? The Supernatural realm?

Who's right, wrong? Can I really connect with God? Can I really know He's there, working, and present in my life? Does he really have a purpose and a plan? Can I trust Him to change EVERYTHING?

What struggles do we have and what questions do we ask about life, faith and EVERYTHING that goes along with those?

What doubts do we have about God, religion, purpose, meaning, and the why behind it all? Is Jesus Christ real? Can we really know? For sure?

And what happens when we're not comfortable sharing, asking, or speaking up about some or all of the questions and issues? What happens when we're not comfortable with the spiritual, the supernatural, the things we can't see or understand?

We've all been there, even if we won't admit it. And there's only thing we need to do to fix it all, to find lasting peace, and to hear the voice of God.

It's time to be honest...

A line of meth to stay awake all hours of the day and night. The life of a firefighter, a First Responder, brings unique challenges...

Nightmares and visions of death. Rage and anger to the degree that you scare your own family and friends. Isolation. Fear. Depression. Darkness. Demons. Suicidal thoughts and even an attempt.

Why stick around? Who cares? Is there meaning in this?

Then, spiritual and supernatural redemption for it all. Scott connected in a way he never imagined. Now, a peace like no other. It happened to him, and it can happen for you as well. All you have to do is reach out, in a spiritual way of course...

Ever felt like your marriage or relationship had nothing left? Was God leading it? Were you meant to even be with that person?

Have you lived simply as roommates in the same house? When is it time to leave, when is it time to move on? Where's the line between what we want and what God wants for us?

Ever been married to a firefighter, police officer? Soldier? First Responder? What happens when one night, they don't come home, and you get a knock at your door...

For Kerry-Ann it eventually came time to bury the man that had once caused so much pain, but then he was called by Christ to lead their family. He was taken was way too soon, but just on time, God's time, of course. His timeline is eternal.

And Jesus gave she and her family a spiritual and supernatural gift she had almost written off long ago.

Will I survive this? Does it matter if I do? Is there meaning here?

Two tours in Iraq as a First Responder while being a new husband and even newer father results in pills, alcohol, and addiction.

Death. So much death. Where's life? Where is God? Why is He letting this happen? Can Jesus save this? Can Christ heal my pain?

Ryan's invitation came after finally reaching out in desperation to the pastor that started it all. As The Spirit worked, Ryan was able to get his life, family, and future back on track.

Redemption and Renewal for EVERYTHING. It is possible. You just have to ask...
