Aimless.  Wandering. Angry at God, beaten down by life. Have you ever wondered if there was more, if there was a point, and if your life had meaning?  

A.K. found out that sometimes you need to tune out the noise to truly hear and see what's important.  But, that's easier said than done, of course. Especially for police officers with quite a different view behind the scenes of life.  

Though, it can be done.  Sometimes it j...

Why is this happening? Does God truly work all things for good?

All things? Even death, destruction, pain, and addiction? What about murder?

Ward found himself working as a police officer in the heart of the L.A. riots, witnessing horrors he never thought he'd see, including the loss of his closest friend and partner.

Why are you here? What's your purpose? Is Spiritual life just a waste of time?

Have you been there? The struggle feels never-ending, and the hits just keep coming. Spiritual life seems so far away.  

You're addicted to control, because things will only spiral worse if you let it go. You have to fix it all yourself, even if you're a Christian.

Have you ever felt empty, like you had nothing left? Can spirituality make a difference? 

Jason was searching for something, but he didn’t know what it was. He thought he could escape his past, but he was addicted to who he used to be. As a firefighter with a good job, he seemed to have everything—except something was missing. He felt so empty.

In his grief, he visited a Christian church, hoping to find what he was missing. But inste...

Have you ever felt like it couldn’t get worse, and then it does—even in a Christian marriage? Even with a spiritual life? 

Anthony and his wife thought their relationship couldn’t get much worse, and their personal lives weren’t any better. He found himself questioning, "Will it get better? Is there a way to save this? To save us?" Alcohol addiction became his escape. 

"What is marriage supposed to look like?" he ...

Have you ever felt like Christian faith, spiritual life, or even the church, was a waste of time?

Steve felt that way and walked away from faith long ago. He told his wife, "God, Jesus, religion—that’s your thing. I want nothing to do with it." Even after witnessing her miraculous healing, he remained skeptical.

But then, something changed. Like a Christmas morning revelation, everything shifted, and Steve and his family wo...

Am I loved? Who am I? Am I worthy? Do I even matter? 

Morgan believed Jesus called her to be a Firefighter, but it turned out to be the hardest experience of her life. As the darkness, pain, and questions piled up—both on the job and from her own co-workers—she felt like ending it all was the only way out. She grieved what she thought the job would be.  It hadn't turned out that way at all.  

Is the spiritual and supernatural re...

Have you ever questioned whether you should stay in your relationship? Does it feel like your marriage has nothing left? Can the spiritual life fix this? 

Did God care? Was Jesus truly leading it? Were you meant to be with that person? Have you just become roommates, living in the same house?
