What if the one you've been looking for has been with you all along?Last week we unpacked T — the choice to go through the storm instead of around it. But through is so much harder when you feel completely alone. This week we're talking about H.H is for HIM.I share one of the most personal stories in my book — the day my doctors told me I would likely keep losing my vision and my hearing, possibly everything. I was standing outside an orthodontist office while my son was inside getting his braces off, completely falling apart on the inside. Then I literally tripped. My knee hit the concrete. And when I looked up there was a rainbow stretched wide across the sky in front of me.That was God. That was Him showing up in the most ordinary, unexpected, painful moment of my life.Freedom isn't the absence of something. It's the presence of Someone. And whether you can feel it right now or not — He sees you. He knows you. And He wants to walk through every storm with you. KEY TAKEAWAYSH is for Him — you were never meant to go through aloneFreedom is not the absence of something — it's the presence of SomeoneGod shows up in the most unexpected moments — even when we're falling apart on a sidewalkEl Roi means "the God who sees me" — He sees you right now, exactly where you areYour identity isn't in what you do — it's in who God created you to be YOUR NEXT STEPS Grab Step Out & Thrive on Amazon → https://a.co/d/0bEoBuU1 Join the FREE community & share who God is to you → https://community.stepoutandthrive.com Follow the show so you don't miss the next letter → https://open.spotify.com/show/0FMfc7G1vbyBvBIIO5Nus6 Watch on YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@bethanybjoyStep Out & Thrive is for faith-driven helpers, healers, and dreamers who are ready to find God in the everyday — even when nothing makes sense.

Are you secretly afraid you've already messed up your kids?Rhonda Stoppe, author of Moms of the Bible, sits down with Jen to unpack why Christian moms carry so much guilt — and what God actually says about flawed, broken, faithful motherhood. Spoiler: He didn't just tolerate your mess. He chose it.From Rebecca's manipulation to Jochebed's terrifying faith, Rhonda walks us through real biblical women who were imperfect, afraid, and still used by God to shape history.In this episode:✔ Why mom guilt is a spiritual attack — not just a feeling✔ The dangerous "perfect mom" image God never asked you to live up to✔ What Rebecca's story teaches us about unchecked imagination in parenting✔ How your trials are forming your children's faith (even when it's hard)✔ Jochebed's radical act of letting go — and what it means for you today✔ Why prayerlessness is sinning against your children✔ The one question every Christian mom needs to ask: Am I raising them for God's glory — or mine?"God called us to this ministry of motherhood.

Forgiving someone who hurt you on purpose sounds impossible… especially when they knew exactly what they were doing.If you’ve ever struggled with forgiveness after betrayal, anger, or deep emotional pain… you’ll recognize this tension immediately.You can know what’s right— and still not want to do it.That doesn’t make you a bad person.Because it’s different when they hurt you intentionally.Today, we’re talking with Pastors Terrell and Brandy Scott—And their story doesn’t start with healing. It starts with a decision she didn’t want to make.And what happened after that… is not what you’d expect.Because sometimes the person you can’t imagine forgiving is the very person connected to the healing you never saw coming.Find Terrell & Brandy Scott’s book and ministry HERE__________________________________________✨ Feel Your Best with LifeWave! ✨ At God’s Goodness Podcast, we love sharing stories of faith, miracles, and God’s goodness!

What if prayer doesn’t have to be complicated? What if connecting with God starts with something as simple as…“God, help me.” In this powerful and deeply relatable episode, Rachel Britton shares how one honest, desperate prayer became the turning point in her relationship with God. Raised in a Christian home, Rachel always believed in God—but she didn’t feel connected to Him. Faith felt like rules. Expectations. A list of things to do—and not do. “I felt like God didn’t really like me,” she admits. As life moved on, she found herself caught between two worlds—one foot in faith, one foot in everything else—never fully at peace in either. Then everything changed. A move from London to the United States. A newborn baby. No support system. No identity outside of motherhood. And one overwhelming moment where she sat on the floor and thought: “I don’t know how to go on.” That’s when she prayed one simple prayer: “God, help me.” And He did. Not with immediate life changes—but with something deeper. Presence. Peace. And an invitation into real relationship. This episode explores what it means to: • Move from knowing about God → to actually knowing Him • Let go of performance-based faith • Discover that God is already reaching for you • Pray honestly—even when you don’t have the right words Because as Rachel discovered: God isn’t waiting for perfect prayers. He’s waiting for honest ones. If you’ve ever felt like prayer is intimidating… If you’ve believed in God but struggled to connect with Him… If you’ve thought you had to “get it right” before coming to Him— This episode will change how you see prayer. <p class="overflow-wrap-anywhere mb-4 break-words text-b

She fled a broken home. She spent 22 years in a world that nearly destroyed her. Then God intervened.Jeanne Roberson's story begins with a dysfunctional home she escaped as a young teenager. Lured by false promises of stardom and stability, she was drawn into the adult entertainment industry — exotic dancing and club culture — by someone she trusted. What followed was more than two decades of exploitation, addiction, shattered dreams, and failed attempts to break free.But God never stopped pursuing her.In this powerful testimony, Jeanne shares how a rock-bottom moment and a divine encounter changed everything — leading her out of captivity and into a life of healing, purpose, and restored identity in Christ. Today she is a survivor advocate, author, and speaker whose memoir Shattered for Glory is transforming lives and stirring faith around the world.If you've ever felt trapped — by trauma, shame, addiction, or your past — Jeanne's story is proof that freedom is possible and restoration is real. Learn more about Jeanne: InspiringSouls.comJeanne's Book: Shattered for Glory#SurvivorStory #ShatteredForGlory #ChristianTestimony #FaithAndRedemption #HealingJourney #GodRestores #SurvivorAdvocate #TraumaToTriumph #FreedomInChrist #HopeAndHealing #BrokenMadeBeautiful #ChristianWomen #RedemptionStory #PurposeThroughPain #TrueStory #MarionMacKenzie

What if rest isn’t something you find… but something you learn to enter?In this episode, Tricia and Murray unpack the powerful process of rest revealed in Hebrews—showing that true peace isn’t automatic, it’s cultivated through relationship, trust, and transformation.Through three key lenses—voice, heart, and rest—they explore how God is continually speaking, how our internal triggers reveal what’s really happening inside us, and how every moment of tension becomes an invitation to return to Jesus.Looking at the pattern in Book of Hebrews and the response of Israel in Book of Numbers, this episode brings clarity to why we often miss rest—not because it’s unavailable, but because of how we respond.With honest personal stories and practical insight, you’ll learn how to:Recognize what’s being triggered in youDisarm the lies behind fear and controlReturn to Jesus and re-enter true restThis isn’t about striving harder. It’s about learning to stay anchored.Your rest hasn’t disappeared— you just need to come back to Him.

Send us Fan MailShe was told she had 10 years to live… but her story didn’t end there. In this episode, you’ll hear how God showed her what doctors missed and how that discovery led her down a completely different path to healing and purpose.If you’ve ever wondered can autoimmune disease be reversed, or felt like you’ve tried everything for chronic illness with no real answers, this conversation offers a perspective most people never hear. What doctors missed wasn’t just one thing, it was the deeper connection between the body, the mind, and the spiritual foundation we often overlook.In today’s episode of the Peaceful Presence Podcast, I sit down with a medical expert who personally walked through years of suffering, multiple autoimmune diseases, and being told her condition was incurable. In one of her lowest moments, she cried out to God and that moment became the beginning of a journey that challenged much of what she had been taught through medicine alone.We talk about: ✨ Why so many people feel stuck in chronic illness ✨ The real root causes behind autoimmune disease ✨ What doctors often miss when treating symptoms ✨ How stress, fear, and unresolved emotions impact the body ✨ The role faith plays in healing and finding peace ✨ And how reconnecting with God can shift the way we walk through suffering This conversation is filled with both practical insight and hope, especially for anyone searching for answers that go beyond the surface.

What if the storm you've been avoiding is actually the path God is calling you through?In this first episode of Unlocking the THRIVE Code, Bethany B. Joy opens up the pages of her brand-new book — Step Out & Thrive: Finding God in the Everyday When Nothing Makes Sense — and starts where every great journey begins: with a choice.T is for THROUGH.Bethany shares the story of John, a gifted counselor who hit a wall, walked away from his calling, and found himself handing out fries at McDonald's. Sound familiar? Maybe the details are different, but the feeling isn't. The feeling of "I just can't do this anymore." The feeling of wanting to go around instead of through.But here's what God keeps showing us: through is the only way. Not around. Not under. Not by pretending it isn't there. Through.And the good news? You were never meant to go through alone.

Some Christian testimonies about hearing God’s voice don’t start the way you’d expect.Matthew Lovell thought he knew God. He was sure of it—until the night everything broke.He was showing up. Praying. Doing what he believed was right.He wasn’t questioning it.He thought that was all faith was.Then he found out his wife was having an affair—right before their 5-year anniversary.That night, he’s in his kitchen.Music blasting. Cleaning. Crying. Trying to process what just happened.But instead of shutting down… something happens that doesn’t make sense.Not slowly.Not over time.In that moment, everything in him changes.And he encounters God in a way he never had before.The anger you’d expect isn’t there.The bitterness doesn’t take hold.It doesn’t just get him through it—it completely redefines what he thought faith was.What he thought was normal faith… wasn’t.And what he once dismissed as impossible… suddenly isn’t.If your faith has ever felt real—but limited— this will make you question where the line actually is.__________________________________________________________ Looking for a simple way to earn extra income from your phone while getting high-quality wellness products at member prices?Take a free tour of Live Good to see how the membership works, how people are earning weekly commissions, and how you can get access to their supplement line. www.livegoodtour.com/GodsGoodnessPodcast

What do you do when staying feels faithful… but is slowly breaking you? And what happens when God doesn’t tell you to fight—but to be still? In this deeply moving episode, Angela Chambers shares her powerful story of walking away from a 28-year abusive marriage—and discovering that God’s restoration doesn’t begin with answers… but with surrender. “I picked myself up off the floor one too many times,” she says. “And I knew… I couldn’t do it anymore.” Raised in a Christian home, committed to her faith, and determined not to “fail” at marriage, Angela spent decades enduring what she believed she was supposed to carry. She stayed. She served. She smiled. And she hid what was really happening. Until the moment everything shifted. When her father asked one simple question—“How long are you going to do this?”—something broke… and something else began. With no job, no clear plan, and nowhere permanent to go, Angela stepped into the unknown with one thing: faith. And in that quiet, lonely space, God met her. “There was a lot of detoxing… a lot of crying… a lot of laying on the floor asking God questions.” Then came a verse that would anchor everything: “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” (Exodus 14:14) It came again. And again. And again. And Angela listened. This is not just a story about leaving. It’s a story about: • Learning to hear God clearly in the middle of chaos • Letting Him fight battles you cannot • Healing after years of survival • Rediscovering who you are when the noise stops It’s also a story about what happens when faith doesn’t look like staying… but trusting God enough to step out. If you’ve ever felt trapped between what you believe is right… and what you know is breaking you… If you’ve ever stayed longer than you should

What if the very things stealing your peace aren’t your circumstances… but your reactions?In this episode, Tricia and Murray unpack the hidden triggers that quietly pull you out of rest and into fear, stress, and control. These triggers don’t announce themselves—they show up as overreactions, anxiety, or striving. But what if they’re actually invitations to go deeper?Through powerful biblical insight and raw personal storytelling, you’ll discover how even Abraham wrestled with fear despite receiving incredible promises from God—and how his journey mirrors our own.Murray shares a vulnerable, real-life moment when fear convinced him he would be abandoned and left homeless… even while stepping into blessing. What followed wasn’t shame—but an encounter with truth that changed everything.In this episode, you’ll learn how to:Recognize the triggers behind your reactionsDisarm the lies that fuel fearReturn to Jesus and re-enter true restThis isn’t about perfection—it’s about transformation.Your rest hasn’t disappeared. You just need to come back to it.

Angels are mentioned 273 times across 34 books of the Bible. These messengers are not mythology. They are not metaphor. And for Bruce Van Natta, they are not theory.Bruce van Natta was crushed beneath a semi-truck in a workplace accident so catastrophic that his chest was crushed and five of his main arteries were severed. By every medical measure, he should not have survived. But in those moments, Bruce says he left his body, watched the scene from above, and witnessed two enormous angels — one at each end of the truck — whose presence he believes is the only reason he drew another breath.In this episode of The UPside, award-winning host Marion MacKenzie sits down with Bruce Van Natta — author of Saved by Angels and featured voice in CBN's investigative series Angels & Demons with journalist Billy Hallowell — for a conversation about miraculous survival, the reality of the unseen realm, and what his encounter with Heaven means for the rest of us.In this conversation you'll discover: → What Bruce experienced during his near-death, out-of-body encounter beneath the truck → How two angels appeared — and what the doctors' own accounts confirmed → What the Bible actually teaches about angels, and their role in human affairs → How Bruce's story connects to CBN's compelling series Angels & Demons → What it means to carry a testimony the natural world cannot explain → How one unsurvivable moment became Bruce's life missionIf you've ever wondered whether Heaven is paying attention to your life — this conversation was made for you.

What if the things you've learned to live with… aren't just affecting you? What if the "giants" you've tolerated—fear, anxiety, bitterness, unforgiveness—are quietly shaping the lives of the people you love most? In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, pastor and author Angi Jeffcoat shares her personal journey of confronting the giants that had taken up residence in her life—and the freedom she found on the other side. "We think we're okay," she says. "But those giants are taking up space in our lives… and they're going to impact the people around us whether we want them to or not." From growing up in a home marked by verbal abuse and abandonment, to carrying hidden bitterness toward her father while preaching forgiveness from the pulpit, Angi reveals how easy it is to believe we've healed… when we haven't. "I thought forgiveness was doing him a favor," she admits. "But really, I was the one in bondage." Her story takes a sobering turn when she feels God ask her to reconcile—and delays. Just days later, her father unexpectedly passes away. "I never got to reconcile on this side of heaven." What follows is a journey through grief, counseling, and the painful but freeing process of facing what was really in her heart. Through it, Angi uncovers not just bitterness—but anxiety, identity struggles, and patterns she didn't even realize had become her normal. "I didn't know who I was without anxiety." This episode is both a warning and an invitation: • A warning that avoidance is not freedom • An invitation to identify the giants you've normalized • And a reminder that healing is available—but it requires honesty If you've ever said "I'm fine" while something still lingers beneath the surface… If you've struggled with forgiveness but justified holding on… If you've assumed your internal battles only affect you— This conversation will challenge you to look again. Because the giants you don't confront… don't just stay with you. Key Takeaways 1. The Giants You Tolerate Don't Just Affect You—They Impact Everyone Around You Angi's central insight reframes personal struggle as relational responsibilit

True rest is formed in the heart, and what’s happening internally will always shape what shows up externally.You’ll discover:Why rest is developed—not instantHow transformation starts at the level of your beliefs (BEDBO)Why Jesus is focused on your heart, not just your behaviorHow shifting your beliefs changes your outcomesBiblical examples of heart transformation (Peter, Naaman, Abraham & Sarah)With real-life stories and practical insight, this episode will help you stop striving, stop reacting, and start living anchored in Jesus.A restful heart isn’t passive—it’s transformed.

Joy invites you into a deeply personal and transformative question:“If you trusted yourself, what would change?”So many of us keep collecting certifications, seeking validation, or waiting for one more green light before we move forward.

Let's be honest right out of the gate. Monk and I have idols. Both of us. And chances are, so do you.In this episode, we get brutally real about idolatry, not the golden calf kind, but the kind that hides in your schedule, your smartphone, your food, your relationships, your ambitions, and even your own understanding.  The kind that sneaks up on you while you're driving a tractor in that game, Farming Simulator. The kind that looks completely normal until God shines a light on it.  This conversation came straight from the Lord, and it hit both of us hard before we ever hit record. IN THIS EPISODE:✅ What idolatry actually is, and why it's broader than you think ✅ Why self is always at the root of every idol✅ How to identify the hidden idols in your own life✅ The difference between removing an idol and replacing it✅ Why repentance isn't punishment, but a backdoor to freedom ✅ How your identity in Christ is the weapon against every idol ✅ The biblical calls to action that reveal what's really taking priority in your life Dad jokes.

What if love isn’t measured by what you hold onto… but by what you remain faithful to—even when you have to let it go? In this quietly powerful Faith Through Fiction interview, Paltiel—a man mentioned only briefly in Scripture—reveals one of the most overlooked portraits of love in the Bible: a love that protects, honors, and releases without claiming ownership. “She was never mine to keep,” he says. “Only mine to care for.” From a life marked by steadiness and attentiveness to God, to being given Michal—Saul’s daughter and David’s former wife—Paltiel steps into a role not of possession, but of protection. “I did not pursue her because she was available,” he explains. “I pursued her because I believed I was being asked to.” What unfolds is not a story of romantic pursuit, but of intentional, chosen love—expressed through restraint, consistency, and quiet faithfulness. He creates space instead of pressure. Presence instead of demand. Safety instead of control. “Love is not proven in how strongly it is felt,” Paltiel says, “but in how faithfully it is kept.” Together, they build a life marked by peace—not the absence of the past, but the absence of fear. A home shaped by consistency. A relationship defined not by urgency, but by care. Until the moment everything changes. When Michal is taken back, Paltiel follows—grieving, weeping—before ultimately turning back in obedience. “Obedience does not remove grief.” This episode explores a form of love we rarely talk about: love without possession, without guarantee, without outcome. Love that remains faithful even when it cannot remain present. If you’ve ever loved deeply and had to let go… if you’ve obeyed God and still felt the ache of loss… if you’ve wondered whether something was worth it when it didn’t last—Paltiel’s story is your answer. Because love is not measured by what remains in your hands… but by what remains in your obedience. Key Takeaways 1. Love Is Not Proven by Intensity—But by Faithfulness Paltiel reframes love entirely: “Love is not proven in how strongly it is felt, but in how faithfully it is kept.” This dismantles modern ideas of love driven by emotion and replaces them with something steadier—choice, consistency, and return. Love, in his life, was not a moment but a pattern. Not a feeling to follow, but a commitment to remain in. For listeners, this is grounding

Pamela and Debra experienced technical difficulties with audio and reverb during the start of their meeting, but were able to resolve the issues and begin recording. Pamela introduced Debra as a guest on her show "Unleash Vision and Faith," highlighting Debra's work as a Christian women's speaker, mental health advocate, and author of a screenplay based on her life story "Walking Talking Miracle." Debra shared her background as a lifelong mental health advocate honoring her mother, her experience as a background actress in the TV show "The Chosen," and her work with her husband on a faith-based comedy act. Postpartum Depression Family Impact Story Debra shared her personal story about growing up in a family where her mother experienced postpartum depression and psychosis after a miscarriage, leading to marital and family friction. She described witnessing intense conflicts between her parents as a young child, including a disturbing incident where her mother asked her to get a knife during an argument. The discussion highlighted how these experiences affected Debra's understanding of faith and her childhood, though she had been raised in a Christian environment through Sunday school. Surviving Postpartum Depression Tragedy Debra shared her personal experience of surviving a tragic incident involving her mother's attempted murder-suicide when she was seven years old. She described how her mother, suffering from postpartum depression and psychosis, made a plan to take Debra, her brother, and herself to heaven, ultimately resulting in a shooting and fire. Debra believes that divine intervention, including Jesus Christ and angels, redirected the bullets, allowing her to survive despite having a bullet still in her spine. Surviving Near-Fatal Shooting Testimony Debra shared her personal testimony about surviving a near-fatal shooting incident, which led to her writing a book and making a movie titled "Walking Miracle." She described her experience in the hospital and the subsequent impact on her family, including her mother being placed in a psychiatric facility. Debra emphasized the importance of sharing miracle stories and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to inspire others through her testimony. Overcoming Childhood Abuse and Trauma Debra shared her difficult childhood experience of living with an abusive maternal grandmother who would frequently send her to orphanages. Despite the abuse and instability, Debra found happiness and love in the orphanages, which led her to make a conscious choice to follow Jesus at a young age. Debra described how her family situation continued to deteriorate, with her grandmother eventually abandoning her at 14, leaving her to find employment or not return home. Youth Employment and Abuse Escape Debra shared her experience of seeking employment at age 14 after fearing she would become homeless like her mother. She successfully got a job at a Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop after lying about her age, and worked there for about six months. During this time, her boss noticed bruises and scratches on Debra's arms and neck, prompting the boss to ask if she was being abused at home, which Debra confirmed. The Baskin-Robbins owner, Mrs. Stuckey, offered to help Debra escape her abusive situation, and Debra planned to leave with her younger brother the following day. Youth Shelter Escape Experience Debra shared her experience of escaping a difficult home situation at age 14. After her father refused to accompany her due to concerns about his epilepsy, Debra ran away and was taken to St. Mary's Shelter, where she was offered placement in a group home. The court ultimately granted her permission to live at St. Mary's group home in Mobile, Alabama, where she thrived and later obtained a business degree before moving to Texas. Mental Health Journey and Support Debra shared her personal journe
