25.08 A Stirring VIP Visit with Kahse Atkinson Merseth (Part 1)

In today's episode, Craig and LaDonna Smith introduce you to another Victorious Indigenous Person (VIP), who can testify of the goodness of God in the life of a prodigal daughter who has become a powerhouse for God in her generation.  Kahse Atkinson Merseth shares her incredibly challenging life before surrendering to Christ.  Though raised in a Native home with parents who were involved in full-time ministry, Kahse went her own way into deep rebellion and sin before coming home to the Lord and her mom and dad, who received her back with open arms.  Today you'll learn of her early years, which mirrors that of may Indigenous youth who, though being raised in a Christian home, choose not to follow the God of their parents and instead, turn to drugs, alcohol, and sexual promiscuity.  You'll also hear about the power of a single young friend whose strong walk in the Lord convicted her of her sin, and brought Kahse back to the foot of the Cross in repentance and forgiveness!  The story gets even more intriguing in the episodes to follow, including some of the darkest days of her life as she had to process the loss of her fiance', who was brutally murdered only months before their planned wedding.  But first, let's get to know this young warrior for Christ, and how her journey back to the Lord led her to a faith that has been sustained through great trouble and trials.  Kahse Atkinson Merseth epitomizes what a Victorious Indigenous Person looks like, and how she now lives her life totally sold out to the purposes of Christ.  What an impact her story has had on many Native youth in the communities God has given her the opportunity to share her story in.  Craig and LaDonna know you'll be encouraged and blessed by her story.  Be prepared to be blessed and encouraged with today's edition of Indigenous Faith!
