We got married at the tail end of university and that day couldn't come soon enough. We did some things in that season really well. Other things...eh, they needed improvement. There were so many new challenges...bills to pay, seeing each other every day, a for real grown up job, petty arguments, and buying refrigerators! We had no idea where this life was headed, but we were thrilled to go there together. Marriage is meant to be the greatest blessing, and we are still walking in the fruit of th...

In 2016 the Lord led her family to move to China for her husband’s work. There they have found that God continues to lead them and use them in ...

The Lord has been faithful to guide them by pruning, by teaching them to rest and pray into His work. The last few months have seen an enormous harvest and I am excited to share it with you. ...

After dating for a year and a half in high school, Nathan and I chose universities that were 4 hours apart. We each had incredible, full college experiences that have served us well throughout life, but in the end we were both focused on getting through that season and being together.

Melanie is a young woman who knows Jesus as a friend and a Father. He is as real to her as the guy sitting next to her on the metro. He talks to her, He guides her and she has seen His faithfulness over and over. Jesus has taught her that He is trustworthy and that true peace only comes from following Him. Most recently she left her home in Germany to marry her Ugandan man and live in Africa. Even though life can be difficult at times, she has full confidence that He was faithful then and He’ll...

After leaving China for COVID-19 and being unable to return, the company decided it was best for our family to relocate to USA. We have accepted a job in the Houston, Texas area, but riding the emotional roller coaster and finding a house didn't prove to be that easy. For 5 days we looked at 21 houses, dreaming of what the next season of life might look like. We thought we'd made a decision, but His still small voice directed our path in another direction. On the afternoon of the last day, He u...

At 24 years old, God opened a door for Katrien to travel from her home in Belgium to New Zealand and Papa New Guinea. This assignment was way outside of her comfort zone, but she was hopeful to meet God in this place. He showed up in huge ways and became real to her on a whole new level.

In her story, Katrien shares about her time with YWAM ...

She shares of His faithfulness through the big decisions of moving across the country and catching those teachable moments with her kids.

I can't very well ask you to share your story if I'm not willing to share mine. So scattered throughout these episodes, I will share the journey the Lord has had our family on over the last 20 years. It's been a wild, incredible journey, but He always comes through bigger and better than we ever thought He would. In this episode, we'll start at the beginning. I was 16, Nathan was barely 17 and it was an experiment in missionary dating where God showed up. Little did we know we had launched an i...

Evie is one of those people that oozes the Holy Spirit. I could sit and listen to her talk for hours. She is meek and gentle, but confidently walks as a child of the Most High God.

She shares how she met Jesus and how He became real to her as a Comforter and a Counselor through the challenges of having a child diagnosed with Type I Diabe...

Hi there - I'm Carey. I am a mom of 4, married to my high school sweetheart and a follower of Jesus. Like literally, a follower.

One of my very favorite things is to meet a new friend for coffee or lunch and hear her story. These conversations have been ...
