In this episode we jump right back into our conversation about walking in Healthy Marriages and Family! We missed you over the past few weeks, and we are so honored to be sitting back at the table with Adriana to hear what God is doing and teaching her in this brand new season of marriage. God is faithful and He continues to grow and teach us through the highs and lows of life. This season is no different. Let's LEAN in towards God, let's continue to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith!

In this episode John and Brenda Sprinkle join us to share encouragement and inspiration on what walking in healthy family and marriage can look like when Christ is in the center. John and Brenda live in Matthews, North Carolina, and have been friends and mentors in our lives for over 30 years. They have dedicated their lives to serving others in and through the local church, by encouraging families to build their lives on the foundation of Christ. We’ve watched them live out their marriage and family life with such beauty, integrity, and deep faith. They’ve been a testimony to us of what it looks like to love biblically—and to love each other well. We believe Generational Blessings are an overflow of Jesus to the next-generation - when they begin to experience the Love of Christ for themselves and it overflows into their children and their children's children. What a BLEESSING! That gift is available to ALL and it starts with me and You today! We pray today’s conversation encourages you to love your spouse, family, and others with the love of CHRIST.  1 John 4:19 reminds us that “We love because He first loved us.”    

Today we’re turning our hearts and our attention on the beauty of marriage and family by honoring the incredible role of a Godly, selfless mother. Her love weaves through so many seasons— whether she is caring for little ones at home, faithfully working while nurturing her family, pouring into her grandchildren with joy, or even walking tenderly beside a spouse whose health is declining. Each stage reflects a heart of sacrifice that mirrors the love of Christ. Scripture reminds us in Philippians 2:4, “Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” And in Isaiah 66:13, God paints a picture of His own compassion through a mother’s care: “As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.” What an honor it is to have our own mother, Kathy Corless, join us at the table today to share insight and encouragement about marriage, and her example of loving and cherishing our dad well in sickness and in health. We pray you are encouraged today to keep walking out your faith with your eyes fixed on Jesus!

In this episode we introduce a new season opener all about FAMILY. We are so excited to be talking and learning about what it means to cultivate healthy marriages and families. We believe that when Christ is at the center of our lives, our marriages and our homes can become places of peace, love, and strength - even in the midst of life’s challenges. Over the next several weeks, we’ll be sitting down with individuals and couples who are living examples of what it looks like to put God first in their marriage and family. Not perfect people doing life perfectly, but definitely friends, family members, and mentors who have impacted us along our journey -- because they have made a choice to build their lives on the solid rock of Jesus, The One and Only Perfect example. We pray you are encouraged to keep Christ first in your life, your relationships, and in your home. Keep Walking out your faith one step at a time!!

In this REPLAY episode, Jason and Jen Goins join us at the table to share encouragement and wisdom they have gained from 21 years of marriage- through both struggle and celebration. They have spent years coaching couples, studying God's Word, and researching the best Christian marriage and family resources. They’ve taught their clients how to deeply connect with their spouses, come alive in their Christian walks, understand their purposes and identities, communicate with grace and love, build on their differences, and function as a winning team! We pray you are encouraged today and a fresh spark is ignited in your marriage today!  Keep Walking!! GOINS 4 FAMILY

What a joy it’s been to walk through this season with you. Seriously. Week after week, we’ve been so moved—not just by the powerful stories shared, but by how deeply they’ve stirred something in our own hearts. These testimonies haven’t just been inspiring—they’ve been transforming. We are reminded that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb & the Word of our testimony. Our ultimate hope is in the finished work of Jesus on the cross—but there’s something so powerful about hearing how He’s shown up in each other’s lives. It strengthens our faith. It reminds us we’re not alone. So as this season wraps up, we want to leave you with two questions: What are you holding onto from this season? What do you want to carry forward?  Romans 8:28 tells us that God works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.  He's still working in and through your story, and His plans are good! Keep your eyes on Jesus! #KeepWalking

In this episode, Tommy Turpin from Changed Lives Ministry, joins us at the table to share his personal transformation story from addiction to true healing and freedom in Christ.  As Tommy began to develop a true relationship with his Heavenly Father, he also spent countless hours, days, and even months receiving the necessary help to overcome an addiction to alcohol and drugs. His struggle with addiction nearly robbed him of the life he now knows. Tommy's testimony is full of HOPE and HEALING that undoubtedly points to the power of JESUS CHRIST in his life. If you are struggling with addiction or know someone who is - please reach out for help. People are ready and willing to love you and guide you into a life of healing and freedom. God wants to redeem and restore what the enemy has tried to steal from you too. Today is a new day, and with CHRIST nothing is impossible. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." - 2 Corinthians 5:17 Changed Lives Ministry is a Faith based rehabilitation facility for men and women struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.

In this episode Josh Cutler joins us at the table to continue a conversation we started months ago. Back in episode 67 Josh shares in great detail about his health journey and battle with Lyme disease. Today we pick right back up to discuss what God has been teaching him in this season. His journey hasn’t been easy, and he faces daily choices about where to focus his attention—on Jesus or on his circumstances. His words of encouragement remind us that small steps of obedience and consistency lead to great strides of Freedom and Healing in Christ. Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."  Our paths are very different, but we often battle with the same things: fear and all the what ifs. We are reminded again this week that we can’t be anxious and Grateful at the same time -- so when those fears or what if situations begin in our mind, we can choose to be grateful for the blessings in our life, and it will change our perspective. We know that gratitude shifts our focus from what we lack to what we’ve been given — His presence, His promises, and His peace. Keeping a positive perspective begins with trusting that God is still working, even in the unseen, and believing that He is using every moment, even the hard ones, to draw us closer and shape us more like Christ.

In this episode Rodney and Tracy Richard join us at the table to share personal insight and encouragement on the topic of Healing & Freedom.  As we talk about walking in healing and freedom in Christ, we want to be intentional about acknowledging that the path isn't always easy. We all experience trials, heartaches, and even prayers that seem to go unanswered in ways we expect God to answer. But in the midst of it all, we have a faithful God who never leaves us. His grace is sufficient, and His strength is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). This conversation is a reminder that healing isn't always instant — many times it’s a journey. And freedom in Christ doesn’t mean the absence of hardship, but the presence of peace, purpose, and unshakable hope even in the storm. Healing is for You, because God is FOR YOU! HE is Real & He can be trusted in every season.  So whether you're in a season of joy or sorrow, we pray today’s episode gently meets you where you are and lifts your eyes to the One who heals, restores, and walks with us through it all.

In today's episode we are joined by our cousin Maria Dreiling. Maria lives in Richmond Virginia with her husband Michael and their two children. Today’s episode is tender and deeply personal as we step into another conversation about healing and freedom—even in the face of a difficult cancer diagnosis and treatment plan. It is one thing to talk about faith when life is going smoothly, but what happens when you’re staring down the unknown, wrestling with fear, and trying to stay hopeful when everything feels uncertain? We pray you are encouraged like we are, as you listen to Maria's testimony of God's presence and provision during one of the most difficult season's of her life.  Maria would say that the GOD of Angel Armies continues to walk with her, talk with her, and has never left her side every step of her journey, and that the Lord has been her strength -- He wants to be your strength TODAY, and HE will never leave or forsake you on your journey either. We are praying for you. We love you. Keep Walking!

In this episode, our friend Heather Koppe joins us to share her powerful testimony of healing -- after living in fear and anxiety from past trauma and with agoraphobia. But God, in His loving kindness, reached down and helped her walk out of a season of darkness and into the light of HIS wholeness and healing. She lives in true Freedom today, enjoying the beauty of God's creation, from rushing waves to majestic waterfalls, and He continues to rewrite her story. Psalm 27:14 became a message of HOPE for her-- it says "Wait on the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." A message that can bring HOPE and healing to us too, today -- as we wait upon the Lord for our own healing! Isaiah 43:2 NIV - When you pass through the waters, I - Bible Gateway  

In this episode, our friend Jedell Jenkins joins us at the table to talk about all areas of life pertaining to an abundant life in Christ. Living a life healed and whole involves walking in a peace that doesn't always make sense from an earthly perspective. With Christ it is possible to live free from the bondage of fear, debt, sickness, and disease and begin to confidently step into the abundant life Jesus came to give us (John 10:10). Jodell has 20+ years of experience as a nurse, she is a health and wellness coach, and has experienced financial freedom while learning and teaching the principles she has learned from Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University.  If you need a mentor or encourager on your health or financial freedom journey, Jodell is willing to talk to you and point you in the right direction -- so that you too can experience Freedom in your own story. *You can find Jodell Jenkins on Social Media (Facebook or Instagram). *Financial Peace University: Dave Ramsey

In this episode we are honored to have Anita Kelly Couch join us at the table. She is a bible teacher, speaker, writer, and the creator of The Ever After Encounter (a unique women’s event that will inspire you to experience the lavish love of God by connecting the facts you know about God, with a deep, felt experience with God, that then fosters a genuine change in your life). Anita is passionate about seeing the hearts of women awakened to God’s extravagant love, and points the way for hearts to be healed, so that intimacy and freedom in Christ can be more fully experienced and enjoyed! We pray you are encouraged today as you listen. If you are interested in finding out more about The Ever After Encounter please check out the link below. The Ever After Encounter        

In this episode our new friend Rebecca Ribnick joins us to talk about her personal testimony of physical healing. It is God's plan for you to walk through THIS life healed and whole in Jesus name. Rebecca's story and teaching is not only inspiring, but contagious - as we seek to walk out our own lives filled with the spirit and full of God's perfect plans and purposes for healing and wholeness here on Earth as it is in Heaven! For sixteen years, Rebecca Ribnick suffered from an incredibly painful disease, all the while believing that God made her sick for a purpose she didn’t or couldn’t understand. Contrary to her theological understanding of healing, miracles, and God’s working today, Jesus radically healed her and rewrote her future. Rebecca is an ordained pastor and a three-year ministry school graduate from Bethel in Redding, CA. Rebecca travels extensively teaching about God’s goodness and healing—what it is and how to apprehend what Jesus did two thousand years ago today. Her passion for seeing believers walk in their identity, destiny, and calling flow through her fun, funny, and joy-filled communication style. She also holds a B.A. in Communications. When not writing, speaking, or hosting a podcast, Rebecca is probably watching Warriors basketball while attempting to keep warm in Minnesota.

In today's episode, we’re exploring what it means to truly walk in healing and freedom in Christ. Jesus said, in John 8:36… “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” and we want this promise to be the foundation of every episode this season. Isaiah 53 says, “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” Walking in healing and Freedom in Christ is a choice we face every day—this constant contrast: Will I focus on myself, or will I fix my eyes on Jesus’ finished work? Let's choose to walk in the Freedom that Christ offers to us today because of HIS finished work on the cross. Psalm 147:3 – “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”  -God is the ultimate healer—He wants to restore your heart, mind, and soul. Isaiah 61:1 – “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.”  Jesus Heals the Paralyzed Man at the Pool – Do You Want to Be Healed #shorts Proof | Official Music Video We are praying for you in THIS season of your WALK with Christ! Let's keep walking with the Jesus, and keep our eyes fixed on The HEALER, let's keep showing up and praying for each other along the journey. We love you!  #keepwalking    

Today is a REPLAY of one of our favorite episodes with our friend Brandon Joy. Brandon's life is a testimony of God's calling, purpose, healing, and redemptive work of CHRIST in His life. It is a challenge for all to submit and surrender to the ONE who is MORE than able to heal and bring freedom to each and every one of our stories! We pray this episode encourages you to Let God take any of those messy areas of life you may be facing today, or that keeps trying to rob you from the JOY that awaits. Today you can invite HIM in and TRUST HIM to heal and restore it for your good and His glory! Keep Walking!!

In this episode our friend Annette Wethington joins us back at the table to discuss the difficult topic of when friendships "GO SOUTH". Is GOD Still in the midst of things?  Is HE still able to teach us something through disappointment and heartache in friendship? We believe the answer is YES...Of course HE is! We pray you are encouraged today by this conversation and are challenged to invite God into the friendships where discouragement and disappointment have creeped in. We recognize that while it's easy to focus on the positive aspects of friendship and be grateful for friends who inspire us, there are also relationship challenges that can be hurtful or harmful. We all face disappointment and unmet expectations in our relationships. Today, we’ll discuss how to navigate these difficulties and how we can please God even when friendships don’t turn out as we hoped. When things go south - it is an opportunity.  With healthy communication and restoration - it’s an opportunity for a deeper friendship.  With pain and destruction - it’s an opportunity to accept reality, get healing and move forward in different directions.

In this episode two very special sisters join us at the table to share how the gift of a sister can also be an amazing gift of a friend. Adriana Melendez sits with us every week at the table, she produces this podcast, and we are so thankful for the friendship that we've been given in her. Today her older sister Mariel Melendez joins us to chat about Godly Healthy relationships and how important they are in life as we seek to walk with Christ and grow in our faith. There is such a special bond between brothers and sisters and we know it takes prayer, patience, and sometimes a whole lot of forgiveness to get to a thriving place of friendship within our families. Today we are praying for you, your family,  and those friendships that God has given you that have stepped in like family is intended to do. Be encouraged today, and keep walking!!

In this episode, our friends Heather and Ryan Wright join us back at the table, and continue to share their personal journey of loss and suffering, but also encourage us by God's faithfulness, His comfort, and their amazing FCA family and friends, who have walked beside them through it all. They remind us of the loving kindness of God that is available to each of us as we face our own struggles in life. The body of Christ has shown up to walk with them through their deepest valleys and God continues to use these relationships to help them on their healing journey today. When faced with difficult seasons, the gift of friendship helps to ease the heartache of pain, loss, and suffering. When friends take time to check in on each other, pray for each other, and are willing to offer encouragement during difficult times - and choose to SIT in life struggles together, it is there we experience the LOVE and PEACE of CHRIST.  Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 NIV - Two are better than one, because they - Bible Gateway 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 NIV - Praise to the God of All Comfort - Bible Gateway To find out more about Ryan and Heather Wright and their ministry through the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, please follow the link below...

In this episode, Jacob Shamblin sits down and teaches us the importance of setting a Plumbline for our lives. As Christians, our standard for living is found in the LIFE of CHRIST. Although we will never obtain or arrive at perfection, we can look to God's Word, and the life that Christ walked here on Earth, as a standard - to guide and direct us in everyday decisions. What a gift we have been given in God's Word.  Jacob Shamblin is in full time ministry with The Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
