What do you do when life takes an unexpected turn? In this heartfelt episode, Deanne Ward shares her journey through a season of upheaval when her husband was diagnosed with cancer and all the loss that entailed. Though he would later be healed, the experience deeply shaped their family and tested the foundations of their faith.

Deanne reflects on how God sustained her in moments of uncertainty—not through instant answers, but through quiet promptings, deep peace, and the courage to keep moving forward. Along the way, she discovered the quiet, transformative power of presence—not only in her own walk with God, but in how she learned to stand with others as they walked through their own fires.

Her story is a testament to the faithfulness of God in the fire, and how trusting Him—step by step—can lead us to greater intimacy, purpose, and resilience.

Listeners will walk away with:

• Encouragement to trust God when life doesn’t go as planned
• Insight into listening for and obeying God’s gentle nudges
• A deeper appreciation for God’s peace in the midst of trials
• Strength to remain faithful even when the future feels unclear
• A reminder that being present for others can be a powerful ministry

If you’ve ever faced a season that shook your plans and pressed on your faith, this conversation will bring reassurance that God is near—and that He can use even the hardest moments to shape something beautiful.

What if forgiveness could do more than just set you free — what if it could open the door for God to transform your entire situation?

In this deeply moving episode, Darlene Davis shares her powerful journey of learning to forgive in the face of pain, disappointment, and brokenness. With honesty and warmth, Darlene shows us that forgiveness is not something we wait to feel — it’s a decision, an act of obedience that opens our hearts to God’s healing power. When we choose to forgive, we don’t just release ourselves from bitterness or resentment — we also release the people we forgive into God’s hands, creating space for Him to work in ways we could never orchestrate on our own. Forgiveness becomes a catalyst for transformation — in our hearts, in our relationships, and in the circumstances we face.

In this episode, you’ll discover: Why forgiveness is a powerful choice, not an emotion How God can transform your heart and renew your perspective The ripple effect of forgiveness in healing relationships and situations Practical wisdom for forgiving when it feels impossible Hope that no wound or story is beyond God’s redeeming power

If you’re longing for freedom, restoration, or a fresh start in your life or relationships, this episode will encourage you to take that first courageous step — and remind you that when we forgive, we make room for God to do what only He can.
