I've been through my own test of endurance over the past seven months which has led to me needing to fill you in on some personal details that are making it necessary for me to step away from Cloud of Witnesses for awhile. Join my husband and I as we update you on the trials of life and the goodness of God.
In this episode I mentioned how supprtive my family has been. I also want to eternally thank my church family and friends. Yo...
Join me for my interview with Dr. Mark and Adrienne Farnham, two believers who have been tested by incredible medical trials and other deep waters. They have come through fully confident that God exists and that He cares.
Among many responsibilities, Mark is the founder and director of Apologetics for the Church. He is also the host of the podcast "Every Believer Confident."
Here are links to engage with both:
If I'm honest I can think of no deeper trial than the one Sarah Mayne and her family have been through. The darkness of suicide stole their son, but it did not steal their hope and trust in the Light and Goodness of Christ. Join me today to learn how you can lament with hope and how the Gospel is the Anchor for all of us, all the time.

Does God care when cruel people hunt you down and/or reject you? Absolutely! Join me for session three of ladies' retreat where we explored how King David cried out to God in the midst of being devastated by the people around him. Psalm 31 was our context.
Believer, may you be comforted by the truth that God is your Refuge and find faith to be courageous when people seem to have counted you out.

This second session of Ladies' Retreat focuses on Psalm 27 and explores the topic that even though King David was being hunted down by his enemies, he was able to praise the Lord because He knew God was His Rock & Refuge. He gazed upon the Lord and once again called upon the Lord. Can we do that? One hundred percent...absolutely! Especially in the midst of spiritual warfare. (Eph. 6:10-18).

Companion Episode: Ep. 5 For the Sake of the Gospel
It's hard to believe that India, now the most populated country in the world, is home to 1.43 billion people! After gaining so much insight into the life of Amy Carmichael, who was a missionary to India during the late 1800's to the mid 1900's (Episode 27), I found myself wanting to learn what the country is like in our modern era.
I invited Dr. Kevin and Lisa Dinwiddie to tell us all about their Indian experiences while they parti...
What an impact a life sold out for Christ can make! Amy Carmichael was a premier example. Because of her, over a thousand Indian children were saved from trafficking, a slavery that was driven by idol worship. Learn how the Lord led her lovingly and how she followed enthusiastically.

I've referenced our story in multiple episodes, but I've never told it. It felt like the right time to share, but I couldn't do so without my husband, Jason. So, I invited him back on to do just that. As you listen, I pray that you are pointed to the One who inspired us to press on through the trials we endured during 2020-2023.

Elisabeth Elliot, a linguist, an American missionary to Ecuadorian Indians, a world-renowned author, and an engaging speaker lived a life of obedience to Christ from a young age to her death. She endured much loss in her lifetime, just like you and me. She was not super human. She just followed a super God.

One must know the pain of the curse before they can fully appreciate the curse being broken (see Genesis 3). I can only imagine Eve, Sarah, Rachel, Hannah, and Elizabeth (Genesis 1-3, 12-21, 29-33, 35; I Samuel 1-2; Luke 1) gathering around my next guest, Evangeline Sanders, to hear her story. Come along with us as we discuss how a deep abiding faith in the Curse-Breaker carried Evangeline and her husband through the deep waters of...

How do you summarize something that has impacted you eternally? It's quite the challenge, but my husband and I attempted to do so in this episode as we reflected on God's goodness and guidance through the first season of "Cloud of Witnesses."

In my husband's final message, he described three truths that seem too good to be true for a believer. The first truth is that God only gives what is best to His children. Not only that, He also forgives them. And best of all, He will never stop loving them. If this doesn't spur you on to endurance, I don't know what will!
