Grace grew up attending church with her family and was saved at the age of 9. Because of her faith she realized as a teenager she was struggling with secret sin. In the midst of guilt and shame she wasn’t sure how she could ever get free of this burden, until God convicted her to say it out loud.

Grace’s story is a powerful reminder that confession is not meant to shame us but to free us. When Christians confess their sin, they open the door to hope, accountability, and the freedom that comes through Christ.

Jon and Kristin grew up in Christian homes and each experienced God’s provision through college and singleness into their 30s. After marrying, they longed for a family but faced over nine years of infertility, ending with surgery that meant they couldn’t have biological children. Yet God brought children into their lives by adoption in His perfect time. Through each difficult circumstance, God gave Kristin dreams to show He was sovereign over all which was significant when Jon suffered a life-changing heart attack. Their story will encourage anyone walking through singleness, infertility, or serious health trials to trust that God is in control and you are always under His sovereign care.

Claudia grew up in Mexico in a large family, raised by a single mother. By 19, she found herself pregnant and in an abusive marriage. Even in the midst of those difficult circumstances, she found a church that introduced her to Jesus. Eventually, she made her way to Tulsa with her two boys, free from that relationship.

In this episode, hear how Claudia built a new life in Tulsa, how she found Evergreen, and how God convicted her to bring her desires to Him in prayer rather than simply weep over them. Her testimony will encourage you to pray and trust our redeeming Father, who can take a broken situation and make it more whole than we could ever imagine.
