In this podcast, we bring you the real stories of everyday people who have faced significant challenges and emerged transformed. Our mission is to shine a light on how God works in our everyday lives to help us overcome adversity.
In today’s digital age, we're barraged by stories of others living their seemingly best lives. Social media, in particular, can be an onslaught of happy stories and extraordinary adventures. When we’re struggling though, the constant displays of what appear to be the perfect lives of others can have a disastrous affect on us. We ask, why is everyone else’s life so perfect while I’m suffering?
Here, we hope you'll find something different and inspiring. In each episode you will hear from courageous people who share their real-life struggles and tribulations. They tell us how their lives dramatically changed after an encounter with God. And they explain what their lives are like now. Are their lives perfect? Well, you’ll have to listen to hear the answer.
We invite you to join us on this journey. We’re glad you’re here—get involved, tell us your thoughts, maybe even share your story of joyful transformation.
So grab a cup of coffee. Sit back, relax, and be inspired by the journeys of ordinary people who love God. And discover why God is good...all the time!
