Walking with Kelley and Kristy

What does it look like to truly live on mission—no matter where God places you? In this powerful episode, we sit down with a remarkable young woman whose journey spans continents and cultures. Born and raised in Tanzania, our guest is now a full-time nursing student at Charleston Southern University, pursuing not just a career but a calling.  Paulina's story is one of faith, courage, and obedience. From her early life in Tanzania to stepping into a new chapter in the United States, she shares how God has been faithful in every season—guiding her steps, expanding her vision, and placing a deep calling on her heart that reaches far beyond borders. We pray her story encourages and inspires you to Walk on Mission with the ONE who can truly make your God given dreams a reality.

Today, we are so thankful to be joined by a special guest, Brandi Giordano. Brandi is a wife, a mom, a believer, and someone who is intentionally living on mission—seeking to follow where God is leading her and her family. One thing we continue to learn is that each of our walks looks different.  The way God moves, leads, and grows us is deeply personal. Our stories may not look the same, but that’s what makes them so powerful and beautiful. It’s incredible to see how God takes our simple “yes” and uses it for His glory and His good. We truly believe you’re in for a treat today, and we’re so excited for you to hear Brandi’s story. Happy Mother's Day to All the Moms listening🩷 Everyday, your LOVE is making a difference in the lives of your children.  Keep Walking!!

Today’s episode is again a very special one for us because we’re sitting down with someone who isn’t just a guest—she’s a lifelong friend. We met Dana Clerico Hedgepath when we first moved to South Carolina, and our families attended church together, and we were in youth group together, so yeah, we go way back! It’s been such a gift to not only grow up together, but to also keep in touch over the years, and watch the way she has continued to walk out her faith so intentionally in every season of her life. Whether that was young adult life, young married life, as a teacher and coach, as a daughter and a sister, to becoming an amazing mom - every season is so different, and yet so beautiful. Her Mission Field is wherever she goes and whoever God places on her path. We pray you are encouraged by our conversation with Dana and inspired to also live a life surrendered to JESUS, and open and available to BE WHO GOD has created you to be.  To all the Mother's who are tuning in we want to especially say HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!! We are celebrating you today! Keep seeking Jesus, and Keep Walking!  

This season is especially close to our hearts as we focus on moms who are walking on mission—women who are faithfully stepping into what God has called them to, even in the midst of challenges, uncertainty, and the everyday demands of life. Today, we are so excited to welcome Leigh Anderson to the podcast. Leigh is a wife, a mom, a ministry leader, a sister in Christ, and a woman who is intentionally seeking to walk in the things of the Lord. She is living on mission, pursuing God’s calling with faith, humility, and grace in every season she’s walking through.  

We are so excited to have Kim Bender with us on the podcast today. Kim serves in Dorchester School District Two and has spent years pouring into the lives of students from all walks of life—many of whom face learning challenges that could easily feel overwhelming. But through her compassion, dedication, and faith, Kim has been a steady source of encouragement, helping her students not only learn, but truly believe they can keep moving forward. We hope you have been both encouraged and challenged by Kim's testimony and her work with Rise Academy and The Rise Readers program. You can reach out directly to Kim to find ways to get involved or pray about giving financially! The work she is doing is incredibly impactful!

We are so honored to welcome Dr. Arthea Simmons to the podcast. Dr. Simmons serves as the lead guidance counselor at Rollings Middle School, where she pours into the lives of students daily—offering wisdom, encouragement, and steady support during some of their most formative years. But her mission doesn’t stop when the school day ends. She also serves as executive director of Holly Hill Youth Sports, a nonprofit youth recreational organization, using connection, mentorship, and community to reach young people in a powerful and intentional way. Walking on mission doesn’t start with something big—it starts with being faithful right where God has you planted. We pray today's episode encourages you to start today stepping into what He has called you to and where GOD has called you to lead, guide, and serve! #keepwalking Holly Hill Youth Sports    

Today, we thought it was important to slow down, center our hearts, and take the next few minutes to focus on the true meaning of Easter. Not just the holiday, not just a moment—but the life, death, and the resurrection of JESUS, those things, well THEY CHANGED everything!! Scripture tells us that we were dead in our transgressions, but because of Jesus, we’ve been made alive. Because of the cross and the empty tomb, we now have hope, we have peace, and we have life—an abundant, overflowing life found in Christ, and In Christ Alone!  Because He Lives, Have a Happy Easter!!

Today is such a special day for us because we get to welcome back someone who truly feels like family, not just to Kelley and Kristy but now to this podcast — our dear friend, Shannon Cannon joins us again to share what Walking on Mission in this season looks like for her. This is Shannon’s fourth or fifth time joining us, and every single conversation leaves us more encouraged, more grounded, and more inspired to live on mission right where God has us. Shannon has spent her whole life serving others in some capacity, in her HOME as a wife, mother, and a Lolli to her grand kids— through mission work overseas, on staff in her local church, and even now in this beautiful season where she is called to pour into and encourage other leaders. She carries such a steady, humble obedience to the Lord, and what we love most, is that her life proves that walking on mission isn’t about a platform — it’s about faithfulness. We pray that her YES to "Journeying with Jesus" brings inspiration and encouragement to you today! 

Our guest today is Cheri Glover. She’s a sister in Christ, a model, an author, and a speaker — but more than anything, she’s someone who is walking faithfully on mission with God in this season of her life. Her story is so powerful. From hearing God speak to her heart at just 10 years old about being involved in fashion, to walking through years of waiting and wondering what she was supposed to be doing, and then stepping into modeling later in life — it’s a testimony of trusting God’s timing. Cheri is known as the "Model Motivator" One Woman's Journey Past the Runway and has been able to enter into motivational speaking. As a speaker, Cheri shares her inspirational story of becoming a model and Heart Disease Survivor with others at conferences, church settings, workshops/seminars. As the Model Motivator, Cheri motivates others to go after their dreams despite their circumstances and achieve their goals one step at a time.

Today's episode is especially meaningful because we get to welcome someone who is usually behind the scenes making all of this possible. Today we are joined by our producer, our dear friend, our sister in Christ, and truly one of our most trusted partners in everything podcast-related - Adriana Melendez Gann. Adriana spends so much of her time helping tell other people’s stories, whether that’s producing podcasts or working with students in theater at the performing arts center. But beyond the microphones and the stage lights, she carries a deep calling to share the gospel — a calling that has taken her to Tanzania time and time again, building lasting relationships and investing in the same community over the years. Today, we want to turn the microphone toward her and talk about what it means to walk on mission with God — not just on a trip, not just in a role, but in everyday life. Saying YES to GOD wherever He sends you, is what Walking on Mission is all about.

Our heart for this podcast is simple: that you would be inspired and encouraged to keep walking on mission with God. He has called you. He has appointed you for such a time as this. And there is an abundant, life-giving joy that comes when we walk in step with Him. Today, we are especially excited to welcome Mr. Grayson Profit to the podcast. Mr. Profit is a teacher at Ridge Christian Academy, and teaching for him is so much more than delivering lessons in a classroom. He is passionate about building strong relationships, and is intentional about recognizing the gifts and talents in his students, and calling them out. As we all know, being a teenager is not easy, and to have teachers who not only pursue excellence academically but also encourage excellence in a student’s walk with Christ—that is powerful. What a blessing Godly teachers and mentors are in the lives of our students. We pray you are encouraged as Mr. Profit shares insights about what walking on Mission in and out of the classroom looks like to him personally.

Walking on Mission doesn’t mean one day in the future, or when we feel more ready, or when life's circumstances feel perfectly aligned - but we believe it means right here, right now, exactly where God has us planted. Whether you’re leading, serving, waiting, or wondering what’s next, God’s plan and purpose for our lives isn't distant or reserved for a select few. It unfolds in the everyday steps of obedience, courage, and trust. Scripture reminds us of this truth in Ephesians 2:10: “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” That means the mission you’re walking in today isn’t accidental, it’s intentional, purposeful, and already known by God. Today we are honored to be joined by Keri Snyder. She is a wife, a mom, a follower of Jesus, and the founder of Bloom Charleston.

On this episode we introduce a new season topic about Walking on Mission with God. Being Mission minded is actually much more about how we live every single day. It’s a posture of saying, “God, I want my life to be aligned with You. I want to notice where You’re working and be willing to join You right where I am.” Walking on mission isn’t about striving or trying to prove anything to God. It’s about walking with Him, not just doing things for Him. When we’re close to God when we’re listening, praying, and staying aware of His presence—mission flows naturally out of that relationship. It becomes less about a checklist and more about obedience and trust. We pray this season encourages you to see your daily interactions with others as a mission field. Keep inviting Jesus into every area of your life and let the light of Christ shine bright everywhere you go.  “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16 Pointing people to Christ doesn’t always start with words. It starts with how you love, forgive, show patience, and walk with integrity. When Christ is shaping your heart, people notice and God gets the glory. Keep Walking!

Today we’re especially excited because we’re joined by Tara Banks, author of the book” Finding Everyday Fruit”. Tara has such a beautiful, practical way of reminding us that spiritual fruit isn’t meant to be rare or complicated, it’s meant to be cultivated daily and shared in community. Through rich storytelling, scriptural insights, and Hawaiian imagery, Tara brings the nine fruits of the Spirit to life. In her book, Tara invites you to discover how the fruit of the Spirit can flourish in your life, showing how the simplest moments can draw you closer to Jesus. Tara is a worship pastor, speaker, and author of Waiting On Wonders. She is married to her college sweetheart, and they have two sons and a daughter-in-love. When she’s not tinkering with her ‘73 CJ-5 Jeep or dreaming of Hawaii, you’ll likely find her waiting on wonders and discovering the beauty of the fruit of the Spirit in everyday moments. The Spirit versus the Flesh 16 I say then, walk by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don’t do what you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Galatians 5:22-23 (HCSB) Finding Everyday Fruit: Discover and Develop a Life Formed by the Fruit of the Spirit

In this episode, Kelley, Kristy, and Adriana walk through the garden of Galatians 5:22–23, reflecting on the nine fruits of the Spirit and how they can grow in our everyday lives. From love, joy, and peace to patience, kindness, and goodness, we talk about staying connected to Christ and allowing His Spirit to shape us into the women and men He has called us to be. We also touch on faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, reminding listeners that fruit grows over time as we abide in Christ. This conversation invites each of us to slow down and walk together in fruitful fellowship.  Galatians 5 HCSB - Freedom of the Christian - Christ has - Bible Gateway

Today on the podcast, we’re continuing to talk about what it looks like to walk in Fruitful Fellowship because we are led by the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5 reminds us that as we walk with Jesus, the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self control in our lives. And today we get to sit at the table with Kelley's husband, Erik, to talk about what developing the fruit of Peace has looked like in their lives. Kelley and Erik have walked through a lot together, and through every joy and every struggle, God has been faithful, continuing to lead their steps as they try to keep their eyes on Jesus. That is the challenge for each of us, KEEP OUR EYES on JESUS - the author and perfector of our faith. We pray that today you are encouraged to keep walking and stay in step with the ONE who loves and desires FRUITFUL fellowship with you and those around you. The Beatitudes He said: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,     for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn,     for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek,     for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,     for they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful,     for they will be shown mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart,     for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers,     for they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,     for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. All the Way My Savior Leads me by Fanny Crosby        

Today we are honored to have our friend McKenna Boone with us at the table. McKenna is passionate about walking with Jesus, discipleship, and connecting with other believers. Scripture reminds us that “two are better than one” (Ecclesiastes 4:9), and we believe many are longing for deeper, healthier, more God-honoring relationships in 2026. This season, we’re challenging ourselves—and you—to be intentional about fruitful fellowship: to examine the communities you are apart of, to pursue Godly relationships, and to allow the Holy Spirit freedom to shape how you love, forgive, and walk together in community - developing the fruits of the Spirit in your lives(Galatians 5:22–23). Jesus tells us that when we abide in Him, we will bear much fruit (John 15:5), so our challenge this year is simple but bold: stay rooted in Christ and choose community that cultivates lasting spiritual fruit.  McKenna Boone **Free Resources to Show Up & GROW in Fruitful Fellowship!

In this episode Jacob and Emory join us to talk about the importance of staying connected to God, and growing in fruitful fellowship with those around us. We are so encouraged by both of them and their desire to live lives that honor the Lord. You are truly in for a treat today as they share a fresh, honest perspective as young people who are seeking God and walking faithfully with Him. In this new season, we’re diving into the topic of Fruitful Fellowship. Galatians 5:22 reminds us that the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—and against these things there is no law. Our prayer for this season is that the fruit of the Holy Spirit would be evident in our lives, in our play, and in our homes, overflowing naturally as a result of Christ living in us. This isn’t something we manufacture or strive to perform, but it begins to flow from walking closely with Him.  Jacob Shamblin - FCA https://my.fca.org/?form=jacobshamblin&keyword=jacob%20shamblin  

This season, we’re talking about walking in fruitful fellowship—the kind of Christ-centered relationships that don’t just make us feel connected, but actually shape us, sharpen us, and bear lasting fruit. It’s choosing to walk together in truth, love, prayer, and obedience to Jesus. Thank you for walking with us. Let’s remain rooted, connected, and expectant for what God can do in and through us.  It is the fruit of the Spirit that nourishes and satisfies, and is truly experienced when we abide in Christ and it is HIS power in us that bears much fruit! Today we want to remind you again that “Fruitful living” isn’t something we force—it’s something that flows as we stay connected to Jesus.        

Today’s episode is special because we’re closing out the year together—just two sisters sitting down to look back at all God has done in 2025. This season has been full of growth, laughter, stretching moments, and sweet reminders of God’s faithfulness, not just in our personal lives but in our families, our goals, and in our walk with Christ. As we reflect on our favorite memories, the things we accomplished, and even the places where we struggled, our hope is that this conversation encourages you to pause and look back at your own year with gratitude. God has been present in every high and every low, and today we want to celebrate that. We pray the year ahead is one where we experience the ABUNDANCE of God's Love as we RELINQUISH every area of our lives to HIM! May we truly KNOW Him MORE and be comforted by His PRESENCE like never before. Happy New Year! Keep Walking👭  

Today we get to sit back down with a dear friend whose life is such a beautiful picture of Advent love—love that goes, love that serves, and love that shows up in the everyday places where God calls us. She is a single woman who followed the Lord’s leading all the way to Tanzania, where she now runs a primary school and pours the love of Christ into children who are growing, learning, and discovering their worth in Him. We’ve watched her walk this calling out with courage and tenderness, and we cannot wait for you to hear how God is using her story to reflect His heart in this season of Love. We are honored to have Lisa McKenzie back with us, to share how God is using and teaching her not only to receive HIS LOVE for her, but likewise pour out HIS great love on her students and families in Tanzania.  Merry Christmas from our families to yours. We wish you the kind of HOPE, PEACE, JOY, and LOVE that lasts all year! Thanks for Walking with us this year, and we look forward to a fruitful NEW YEAR ahead!  KEEP WALKING!

As we enter the third week of Advent, we turn our attention to JOY, but not the surface-level joy we often associate with the Christmas season. Advent reminds us that real joy is often born in places of longing, waiting, and even hardship. The joy of Scripture is not loud or flashy; it’s steady, surprising, and rooted in the presence of God. The prophet Isaiah spoke of a coming joy when he wrote, “The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom” (Isaiah 35:1). Joy shows up in barren places. And when the angel declared, “I bring you good news of great joy” (Luke 2:10), it wasn’t to people who had comfortable lives, it was to shepherds on the night shift, living under Roman rule, carrying their own burdens. Advent joy is the kind of joy that doesn’t ignore reality but shines right in the middle of it, a joy that comes from knowing that God sees us, God is with us, and God is still at work. This week, we’re leaning into that kind of joy - the kind that grows in the waiting and strengthens our hearts as we journey toward the manger, and await HIS glorious return. You can experience JOY on the JOURNEY.

As we step into this Advent week focused on Peace, many of us are already feeling the chaos of the Christmas season. In the middle of all the noise, Jesus reminds us, “My peace I give you… Do not let your hearts be troubled” (John 14:27). And Isaiah calls Him the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6)—not just for quiet moments, but for real life, right in the mess and busyness. So today, we want to take a breath together, slow everything down, and remember that God’s peace isn’t something we have to earn or create. It’s something He offers, even when our world feels anything but peaceful. Hector and Norma Melendez join us to share how they choose to walk with the giver of Peace not only in their daily lives, but especially in the busyness of the Holiday season. It was an honor to have this conversation with them. We pray you too are encouraged as you listen. “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.”  ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭27‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Names of Jesus Calendar by Lara Beeston    

On today's episode we are joined by David and Kim McAlhaney. They share their beautiful testimony of longing and waiting to be parents, a HOPE and dream they never gave up on, and a continued faith they place in CHRIST alone. Their story is a great encouragement to us  - as we wait with the HOPE of CHRIST too! Hope is the unwavering confidence that because God is faithful, good, and unchanging, we can trust Him with every tomorrow. It’s the quiet assurance that the light of Christ always breaks through the darkness. It’s the joyful expectation that the God who came near at Christmas is still drawing near today—and will come again. HE offers HOPE in the Waiting! Advent Blocks - Traditions Set – GoodKind    

Psalm 100:4 says, ‘Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.’ So as we gather with family this Thanksgiving, let’s not just pass the turkey and the pie, but also pass on gratitude—speaking life, encouragement, and love into one another. Because gratitude doesn’t just honor God—it builds stronger families and deeper connections.  The hymn “Count Your Blessings” has a beautiful and encouraging history that ties perfectly into a message of thankfulness. We pray you take time to pause today and count your blessings, "naming them one by one" - Count your many blessings see what God has done! Count Your Blessings We are so grateful to get to walk with you today - and we pray you have a very Happy Thanksgiving. ~❤️ Kelley & Kristy  

Today we’re sitting down with Rod and Angie Tyler, a couple who have been a part of our lives for almost 28 years. That’s a lot of life. They’ve walked with us through so many seasons—celebrations, challenges, growing pains, parenting, ministry—you name it. And through all of it, they have been steady. They have been consistent. And honestly, they have quietly shown us what it looks like to keep Christ at the center of a marriage. This whole season we’ve been talking about what it means to build healthy marriages and families—how to walk it out day by day, not perfectly, but faithfully. You know those friends who don’t just tell you what faithfulness looks like… but they actually live it? That’s who they are. Their friendship has shaped us more than they probably know, and we’re really grateful you get to hear from them today. We pray that their honesty and transparency is as encouraging for you as it continues to be for us!  Philippians 4:12-13   New International Version 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

We are honored once again to have one of our long-time pastors and wife with us on the podcast today. Eric & Patti Lethco have not only poured into our lives personally but have also helped mold us into the wives, mothers, and encouragers we are today.  We believe their example of walking out a Christ-centered marriage, consistent parenting, and steadfast leadership has been a living testimony of what God’s design for family and faith looks like. Today, we want to celebrate the way they both model love, integrity, and service—not just within their marriage and family, but in the way they guide and shepherd those around them. We pray you are encouraged as you too walk through joys and challenges in this season. Let GOD be the one to help lead, guide, and direct your marriage and family steps today! We love you and are so grateful to walk along side you in life. God, we thank You for the gift of family and marriage. We ask You to be the center of our homes, to guide us by Your Word, and to give us strength to remain faithful in every season. May our lives reflect Your love and bring You glory. Today and Forever Amen. Instructions for Christian Households  Ephesians 5:21-33 NIV 21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[b] her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”[c] 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.    

In this episode we jump right back into our conversation about walking in Healthy Marriages and Family! We missed you over the past few weeks, and we are so honored to be sitting back at the table with Adriana to hear what God is doing and teaching her in this brand new season of marriage. God is faithful and He continues to grow and teach us through the highs and lows of life. This season is no different. Let's LEAN in towards God, let's continue to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith!

In this episode John and Brenda Sprinkle join us to share encouragement and inspiration on what walking in healthy family and marriage can look like when Christ is in the center. John and Brenda live in Matthews, North Carolina, and have been friends and mentors in our lives for over 30 years. They have dedicated their lives to serving others in and through the local church, by encouraging families to build their lives on the foundation of Christ. We’ve watched them live out their marriage and family life with such beauty, integrity, and deep faith. They’ve been a testimony to us of what it looks like to love biblically—and to love each other well. We believe Generational Blessings are an overflow of Jesus to the next-generation - when they begin to experience the Love of Christ for themselves and it overflows into their children and their children's children. What a BLEESSING! That gift is available to ALL and it starts with me and You today! We pray today’s conversation encourages you to love your spouse, family, and others with the love of CHRIST.  1 John 4:19 reminds us that “We love because He first loved us.”    

Today we’re turning our hearts and our attention on the beauty of marriage and family by honoring the incredible role of a Godly, selfless mother. Her love weaves through so many seasons— whether she is caring for little ones at home, faithfully working while nurturing her family, pouring into her grandchildren with joy, or even walking tenderly beside a spouse whose health is declining. Each stage reflects a heart of sacrifice that mirrors the love of Christ. Scripture reminds us in Philippians 2:4, “Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” And in Isaiah 66:13, God paints a picture of His own compassion through a mother’s care: “As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.” What an honor it is to have our own mother, Kathy Corless, join us at the table today to share insight and encouragement about marriage, and her example of loving and cherishing our dad well in sickness and in health. We pray you are encouraged today to keep walking out your faith with your eyes fixed on Jesus!

In this episode we introduce a new season opener all about FAMILY. We are so excited to be talking and learning about what it means to cultivate healthy marriages and families. We believe that when Christ is at the center of our lives, our marriages and our homes can become places of peace, love, and strength - even in the midst of life’s challenges. Over the next several weeks, we’ll be sitting down with individuals and couples who are living examples of what it looks like to put God first in their marriage and family. Not perfect people doing life perfectly, but definitely friends, family members, and mentors who have impacted us along our journey -- because they have made a choice to build their lives on the solid rock of Jesus, The One and Only Perfect example. We pray you are encouraged to keep Christ first in your life, your relationships, and in your home. Keep Walking out your faith one step at a time!!

In this REPLAY episode, Jason and Jen Goins join us at the table to share encouragement and wisdom they have gained from 21 years of marriage- through both struggle and celebration. They have spent years coaching couples, studying God's Word, and researching the best Christian marriage and family resources. They’ve taught their clients how to deeply connect with their spouses, come alive in their Christian walks, understand their purposes and identities, communicate with grace and love, build on their differences, and function as a winning team! We pray you are encouraged today and a fresh spark is ignited in your marriage today!  Keep Walking!! GOINS 4 FAMILY

What a joy it’s been to walk through this season with you. Seriously. Week after week, we’ve been so moved—not just by the powerful stories shared, but by how deeply they’ve stirred something in our own hearts. These testimonies haven’t just been inspiring—they’ve been transforming. We are reminded that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb & the Word of our testimony. Our ultimate hope is in the finished work of Jesus on the cross—but there’s something so powerful about hearing how He’s shown up in each other’s lives. It strengthens our faith. It reminds us we’re not alone. So as this season wraps up, we want to leave you with two questions: What are you holding onto from this season? What do you want to carry forward?  Romans 8:28 tells us that God works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.  He's still working in and through your story, and His plans are good! Keep your eyes on Jesus! #KeepWalking

In this episode, Tommy Turpin from Changed Lives Ministry, joins us at the table to share his personal transformation story from addiction to true healing and freedom in Christ.  As Tommy began to develop a true relationship with his Heavenly Father, he also spent countless hours, days, and even months receiving the necessary help to overcome an addiction to alcohol and drugs. His struggle with addiction nearly robbed him of the life he now knows. Tommy's testimony is full of HOPE and HEALING that undoubtedly points to the power of JESUS CHRIST in his life. If you are struggling with addiction or know someone who is - please reach out for help. People are ready and willing to love you and guide you into a life of healing and freedom. God wants to redeem and restore what the enemy has tried to steal from you too. Today is a new day, and with CHRIST nothing is impossible.

In this episode Josh Cutler joins us at the table to continue a conversation we started months ago. Back in episode 67 Josh shares in great detail about his health journey and battle with Lyme disease. Today we pick right back up to discuss what God has been teaching him in this season. His journey hasn’t been easy, and he faces daily choices about where to focus his attention—on Jesus or on his circumstances. His words of encouragement remind us that small steps of obedience and consistency lead to great strides of Freedom and Healing in Christ. Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."  Our paths are very different, but we often battle with the same things: fear and all the what ifs. We are reminded again this week that we can’t be anxious and Grateful at the same time -- so when those fears or what if situations begin in our mind, we can choose to be grateful for the blessings in our life, and it will change our perspective. We know that gratitude shifts our focus from what we lack to what we’ve been given — His presence, His promises, and His peace. Keeping a positive perspective begins with trusting that God is still working, even in the unseen, and believing that He is using every moment, even the hard ones, to draw us closer and shape us more like Christ.

In this episode Rodney and Tracy Richard join us at the table to share personal insight and encouragement on the topic of Healing & Freedom.  As we talk about walking in healing and freedom in Christ, we want to be intentional about acknowledging that the path isn't always easy. We all experience trials, heartaches, and even prayers that seem to go unanswered in ways we expect God to answer. But in the midst of it all, we have a faithful God who never leaves us. His grace is sufficient, and His strength is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). This conversation is a reminder that healing isn't always instant — many times it’s a journey. And freedom in Christ doesn’t mean the absence of hardship, but the presence of peace, purpose, and unshakable hope even in the storm. Healing is for You, because God is FOR YOU! HE is Real & He can be trusted in every season.  So whether you're in a season of joy or sorrow, we pray today’s episode gently meets you where you are and lifts your eyes to the One who heals, restores, and walks with us through it all.

In today's episode we are joined by our cousin Maria Dreiling. Maria lives in Richmond Virginia with her husband Michael and their two children. Today’s episode is tender and deeply personal as we step into another conversation about healing and freedom—even in the face of a difficult cancer diagnosis and treatment plan. It is one thing to talk about faith when life is going smoothly, but what happens when you’re staring down the unknown, wrestling with fear, and trying to stay hopeful when everything feels uncertain? We pray you are encouraged like we are, as you listen to Maria's testimony of God's presence and provision during one of the most difficult season's of her life.  Maria would say that the GOD of Angel Armies continues to walk with her, talk with her, and has never left her side every step of her journey, and that the Lord has been her strength -- He wants to be your strength TODAY, and HE will never leave or forsake you on your journey either. We are praying for you. We love you. Keep Walking!

In this episode, our friend Heather Koppe joins us to share her powerful testimony of healing -- after living in fear and anxiety from past trauma and with agoraphobia. But God, in His loving kindness, reached down and helped her walk out of a season of darkness and into the light of HIS wholeness and healing. She lives in true Freedom today, enjoying the beauty of God's creation, from rushing waves to majestic waterfalls, and He continues to rewrite her story. Psalm 27:14 became a message of HOPE for her-- it says "Wait on the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." A message that can bring HOPE and healing to us too, today -- as we wait upon the Lord for our own healing! Isaiah 43:2 NIV - When you pass through the waters, I - Bible Gateway  

In this episode, our friend Jedell Jenkins joins us at the table to talk about all areas of life pertaining to an abundant life in Christ. Living a life healed and whole involves walking in a peace that doesn't always make sense from an earthly perspective. With Christ it is possible to live free from the bondage of fear, debt, sickness, and disease and begin to confidently step into the abundant life Jesus came to give us (John 10:10). Jodell has 20+ years of experience as a nurse, she is a health and wellness coach, and has experienced financial freedom while learning and teaching the principles she has learned from Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University.  If you need a mentor or encourager on your health or financial freedom journey, Jodell is willing to talk to you and point you in the right direction -- so that you too can experience Freedom in your own story. *You can find Jodell Jenkins on Social Media (Facebook or Instagram). *Financial Peace University: Dave Ramsey

In this episode we are honored to have Anita Kelly Couch join us at the table. She is a bible teacher, speaker, writer, and the creator of The Ever After Encounter (a unique women’s event that will inspire you to experience the lavish love of God by connecting the facts you know about God, with a deep, felt experience with God, that then fosters a genuine change in your life). Anita is passionate about seeing the hearts of women awakened to God’s extravagant love, and points the way for hearts to be healed, so that intimacy and freedom in Christ can be more fully experienced and enjoyed! We pray you are encouraged today as you listen. If you are interested in finding out more about The Ever After Encounter please check out the link below. The Ever After Encounter        

In this episode our new friend Rebecca Ribnick joins us to talk about her personal testimony of physical healing. It is God's plan for you to walk through THIS life healed and whole in Jesus name. Rebecca's story and teaching is not only inspiring, but contagious - as we seek to walk out our own lives filled with the spirit and full of God's perfect plans and purposes for healing and wholeness here on Earth as it is in Heaven! For sixteen years, Rebecca Ribnick suffered from an incredibly painful disease, all the while believing that God made her sick for a purpose she didn’t or couldn’t understand. Contrary to her theological understanding of healing, miracles, and God’s working today, Jesus radically healed her and rewrote her future. Rebecca is an ordained pastor and a three-year ministry school graduate from Bethel in Redding, CA. Rebecca travels extensively teaching about God’s goodness and healing—what it is and how to apprehend what Jesus did two thousand years ago today. Her passion for seeing believers walk in their identity, destiny, and calling flow through her fun, funny, and joy-filled communication style. She also holds a B.A. in Communications. When not writing, speaking, or hosting a podcast, Rebecca is probably watching Warriors basketball while attempting to keep warm in Minnesota.

In today's episode, we’re exploring what it means to truly walk in healing and freedom in Christ. Jesus said, in John 8:36… “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” and we want this promise to be the foundation of every episode this season. Isaiah 53 says, “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” Walking in healing and Freedom in Christ is a choice we face every day—this constant contrast: Will I focus on myself, or will I fix my eyes on Jesus’ finished work? Let's choose to walk in the Freedom that Christ offers to us today because of HIS finished work on the cross. Psalm 147:3 – “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”  -God is the ultimate healer—He wants to restore your heart, mind, and soul. Isaiah 61:1 – “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.”  Jesus Heals the Paralyzed Man at the Pool – Do You Want to Be Healed #shorts Proof | Official Music Video We are praying for you in THIS season of your WALK with Christ! Let's keep walking with the Jesus, and keep our eyes fixed on The HEALER, let's keep showing up and praying for each other along the journey. We love you!  #keepwalking    

Today is a REPLAY of one of our favorite episodes with our friend Brandon Joy. Brandon's life is a testimony of God's calling, purpose, healing, and redemptive work of CHRIST in His life. It is a challenge for all to submit and surrender to the ONE who is MORE than able to heal and bring freedom to each and every one of our stories! We pray this episode encourages you to Let God take any of those messy areas of life you may be facing today, or that keeps trying to rob you from the JOY that awaits. Today you can invite HIM in and TRUST HIM to heal and restore it for your good and His glory! Keep Walking!!

In this episode our friend Annette Wethington joins us back at the table to discuss the difficult topic of when friendships "GO SOUTH". Is GOD Still in the midst of things?  Is HE still able to teach us something through disappointment and heartache in friendship? We believe the answer is YES...Of course HE is! We pray you are encouraged today by this conversation and are challenged to invite God into the friendships where discouragement and disappointment have creeped in. We recognize that while it's easy to focus on the positive aspects of friendship and be grateful for friends who inspire us, there are also relationship challenges that can be hurtful or harmful. We all face disappointment and unmet expectations in our relationships. Today, we’ll discuss how to navigate these difficulties and how we can please God even when friendships don’t turn out as we hoped. When things go south - it is an opportunity.  With healthy communication and restoration - it’s an opportunity for a deeper friendship.  With pain and destruction - it’s an opportunity to accept reality, get healing and move forward in different directions.

In this episode two very special sisters join us at the table to share how the gift of a sister can also be an amazing gift of a friend. Adriana Melendez sits with us every week at the table, she produces this podcast, and we are so thankful for the friendship that we've been given in her. Today her older sister Mariel Melendez joins us to chat about Godly Healthy relationships and how important they are in life as we seek to walk with Christ and grow in our faith. There is such a special bond between brothers and sisters and we know it takes prayer, patience, and sometimes a whole lot of forgiveness to get to a thriving place of friendship within our families. Today we are praying for you, your family,  and those friendships that God has given you that have stepped in like family is intended to do. Be encouraged today, and keep walking!!

In this episode, our friends Heather and Ryan Wright join us back at the table, and continue to share their personal journey of loss and suffering, but also encourage us by God's faithfulness, His comfort, and their amazing FCA family and friends, who have walked beside them through it all. They remind us of the loving kindness of God that is available to each of us as we face our own struggles in life. The body of Christ has shown up to walk with them through their deepest valleys and God continues to use these relationships to help them on their healing journey today. When faced with difficult seasons, the gift of friendship helps to ease the heartache of pain, loss, and suffering. When friends take time to check in on each other, pray for each other, and are willing to offer encouragement during difficult times - and choose to SIT in life struggles together, it is there we experience the LOVE and PEACE of CHRIST.  Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 NIV - Two are better than one, because they - Bible Gateway 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 NIV - Praise to the God of All Comfort - Bible Gateway To find out more about Ryan and Heather Wright and their ministry through the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, please follow the link below...

In this episode, Jacob Shamblin sits down and teaches us the importance of setting a Plumbline for our lives. As Christians, our standard for living is found in the LIFE of CHRIST. Although we will never obtain or arrive at perfection, we can look to God's Word, and the life that Christ walked here on Earth, as a standard - to guide and direct us in everyday decisions. What a gift we have been given in God's Word.  Jacob Shamblin is in full time ministry with The Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

In this episode, our friend Suzanne Thomas joins us at the table to talk about what it looks like to cultivate and grow friendships that reflect God's love and that bear lasting fruit.

This episode draws from both biblical and real-life experiences. Suzanne brings a wealth of wisdom to our bible study table every week. We are honored to have her here today to encourage us about why Godly Healthy friendships are so important to spiritual growth.

In this episode Annette Weathington joins us at the table to challenge and encourage us to continue to cultivate healthy and Godly friendships! Today, we’re talking about the beauty and depth of friendship — how it strengthens our spiritual growth, helps us weather the storms of life,  and how it brings joy to everyday life. When we introduced this season a few weeks ago, we told you about a friendship brunch that we had attended, and how special it was to us and how God used that time to lead us to this very season. We shared with you about our friend Annette, who shared a devotion that impacted us - and today we’re so excited to have her here with us - to share some of the truths God has shown her from His Word and from her life experiences.  

On today's episode, our friend Marie Clayman joins us to talk about the gift of a Godly Friendship. Sometimes God brings friends into our lives that are divinely woven for a purpose much greater than we could ever imagine. It's a friendship - knit by God - to help withstand the ups and downs this life brings. We pray this conversation challenges you to seek God first as you go about your busy days, and we also hope it encourages you to surround yourself with like minded friends - who will point you toward Jesus and keep you accountable to His truth and His ways - as you walk out your faith!  A Godly sister- friend loves you deeply, challenges you gently, and walks with you faithfully.  When you experience these kinds of friendships, thank God for sending them into your life, they are a true gift from God! Marie thank you for your precious friendship in our lives. 👭#keepwalking
