Ellie Buringa serves as the Creative Director at Northview Church in Fargo, ND -- which makes her Stephen and Megan's co-worker and dear friend. Ellie is more than a teammate -- she has become family, and her story iis one marked by deep faith, raw honesty, and unwavering courage.
In this episode, we explore Ellie’s journey of discovering Jesus in college, moving from a place of seeking validation from others to spending hours in God’s Word, fully captivated by His presence. We also dive into the complexity of faith as it evolves through young adulthood —e specially when the mountaintop moments are interrupted by heartbreak. Ellie shares candidly about losing her mom to cancer, and how that grief reshaped her relationship with God. The young adult years are so full of GAIN -- jobs, friends, experiences, relationships, money -- so how can someone navigate loss in a season of gain?
This episode is a powerful conversation about learning to lament, finding God in suffering, and holding onto hope when life feels heavy. For any young adult trying to make sense of gain and loss in the same season, this one will speak right to your soul.
