Overcoming Addiction and Demonic Oppression
Tyler’s story may be one of the crazier stories I’ve gotten to be a part of, but what I love about our God is that despite all the evil the enemy intended for Tyler, his life is marked by God’s pursuit of him. Tyler, opens up about the tragedies that have marked his life, his spiral into addiction, and his experiences with spiritual warfare. From childhood abuse to the loss of his mother, Tyler learned to find escape in substances. If you find yourself facing similar struggles, remember that victory in Christ is possible. Listen, find hope, and see how God can work wonders in the most unexpected ways.FOLLOW and SUBSCRIBE:Instagram | Youtube | Website | NewsletterIf you’ve enjoyed this episode, one of the best ways to support the show is to help others find it!

Overcoming an Eating Disorder
Beneath the veneer of a successful college athlete, Becca grappled with anxiety and eating disorders, resorting to harmful coping mechanisms that included purging, overexercising, and substance abuse. The institutional and societal pressures around body image coupled with her desire to achieve pushed Becca to her breaking point. One encouragement I hope you hear is there is no spiritual bypass—the only way through is through, but God is right there in the the middle with you.FOLLOW and SUBSCRIBE:Instagram | Youtube | Website | NewsletterIf you’ve enjoyed this episode, one of the best ways to support the show is to help others find it!

Overcoming Divorce and Dysfunction
SummaryI was once again so encouraged by my conversation with the Derdens. There is little about Josh and Domonique’s story that isn’t shocking — from how they met, to Domonique uncovering Josh’s affair the night before their wedding, to how the Lord ultimately mended their hearts and marriage. It’s a gut wrenching story of the damage caused by unrepentant sin but a testament to God’s unrelenting pursuit of us. I pray you are encouraged in the Lord through their story.FOLLOW and SUBSCRIBE:Instagram | Youtube | Website | NewsletterIf you’ve enjoyed this episode, one of the best ways to support the show is to help others find it!

Diving Deeper: On Secrecy, Isolation, and Physical Pain
In this episode I wanted to take a look back at the previous episodes and dive a little deeper into what the Lord did in Boston and Katie’s lives and what He may have for you. In the quiet moments of our conversations, Boston and Katie spoke of the solace they found in the promises of God and the transformative power of practicing Christian disciplines. Their advice wasn't just practical, it was deeply necessary - keep memorizing and holding onto God's promises, and trust that they will bear fruit in due course.

Overcoming the Lies of Secrecy and Isolation
Despite being raised in a loving Christian household, Boston experienced early battles with intense anxiety and depression, a struggle that escalated into feelings of worthlessness and self-violence during her teenage years. Circumstantial life changes added to her feelings of isolation and deepened her desire to hide the tumult she felt inside. Despite the darkness, Boston held onto the promises of the Bible, with the help of her family and church. My prayer is that Boston's story offers comfort and hope to anyone facing similar battles. And that you are reminded that, in Christ, we are more than conquerors.FOLLOW and SUBSCRIBE:Instagram | Youtube | Website | NewsletterIf you’ve enjoyed this episode, one of the best ways to support the show is to help others find it!
