  Don't Miss Out: Kelly Stiles on Discovering Who God Really Is

  Sep 29, 202632 minS5

  Knowing what Christianity looks like is different from knowing the God at the center of the faith. Growing up, Kelly Stiles lived between two very different worlds. During the summers she spent with her dad, she knew how to look the part—carrying her Bible, going to church and camp, and doing what she thought a Christian should do. But the rest of the year, Kelly was living a very different life. By her late teens, she had begun what she describes as a 20-year season in the wilderness, carrying anger toward God and largely living on her own terms. Then, during a painful divorce, everything came crashing down—and Kelly knew she was scared to live her life without God. At first, she returned to Him with what she calls a “white-knuckled faith,” afraid of God's judgment and overwhelmed by the things she had done wrong. But as she continued to pursue Him, Kelly began discovering who God really is. She encountered His grace, patience, kindness, protection and love. The God she once feared became the God in whom she could rest. As Kelly studied Scripture and learned more about God's character, He also began reshaping some of the distorted ideas she had carried about Him since childhood. Today, Kelly jokes that she still struggles with FOMO—fear of missing out. But now it has a deeper meaning. She doesn't want to miss anything God has for her, and she doesn't want anyone else to miss the life, grace and relationship found in knowing Him. In this episode of the Faith Conversations Podcast, Kelly shares her journey from knowing what Christianity looked like to discovering the God at the center of the faith—and why she believes even our doubt, anger and questions can be brought honestly to Him. Key Takeaway Knowing what Christianity looks like is different from knowing the God at the center of the faith. As Kelly discovered who God really is—His grace, character, love, and faithfulness—her fear gave way to rest, and now she doesn't want anyone to miss the relationship and life found in knowing Him.

  Beauty from Ashes: Amber Waldrop's Journey from Brokenness to Joy

  Sep 22, 202631 minS5

  Amber Waldrop's joy is unmistakable. But behind that joy is a story of deep pain, destructive choices, grace, and redemption. Amber grew up in an Air Force family that was always involved in church. In second grade, she first recognized her need for a Savior, and she spent the years that followed trying to live as she thought a Christian should. But when suffering came - including a painful violation of trust by someone she should have been able to trust - Amber carried the hurt alone. For years, she tried to fix what was broken on her own, and the pain she held inside eventually contributed to a destructive path. But God never let her go. As an adult, Amber began to understand the depth of God's grace and the redemption Jesus offers. Scripture became real as she recognized how much she had been forgiven and how completely Jesus understood her suffering. She discovered that because Christ lived in her, her pain did not have to have the final word. Through Him, she could forgive, show mercy, love the unlovable, pray for her enemies, and begin walking the long road of restoration. Amber also began to see herself differently - not simply as someone trying to be a good Christian, but as a beloved daughter of God. What once felt broken and destructive became a place where God could bring beauty from ashes. In this episode of the Faith Conversations Podcast, Amber shares how God pursued her through pain, restored what was broken, and taught her to see herself through the eyes of her Creator. Her joy today isn't the result of a life without suffering. It comes from knowing she is deeply loved by the God who redeemed her story. Amber leaves us with a powerful question: What are you holding against God - and are you willing to lay it down so you can experience a relationship with Him? Key Takeaway God can bring beauty from the places in our lives that feel most broken. Amber's story shows that joy is not the absence of suffering; it can grow from knowing we are deeply loved, fully forgiven, and being restored by a God who never lets us go. Related Bible Verses Isaiah 61:3 (NASB) - "A garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning." Psalm 147:3 (NASB) - "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Romans 8:38-39 (NASB) - "Nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God." Ephesians 1:7 (NASB) - "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our wrongdoings." 1 John 3:1 (NASB) - "See how great a love the Father has given us, that we would be called children of God."

  God's Gentle Pursuit: Uyen Dang's Journey from Believing in God to Knowing Him

  Sep 15, 202633 minS5

  Uyen Dang believed in God from childhood. She experienced the love of Jesus through the church that welcomed her Vietnamese refugee family to South Carolina, accepted God into her heart after her father's death, and later recognized her need for Jesus as Savior. But it would take years - and heartbreak - for Uyen to understand just how personal a relationship with God could be. In this episode of the Faith Conversations Podcast, Uyen shares the story of what she now calls "God's gentle pursuit." From losing her father at nine years old and wrestling with resentment, to navigating the expectations of her Vietnamese culture, searching for love and belonging through relationships, and eventually reaching the end of herself, Uyen can now see how God was patiently drawing her closer all along. A broken relationship eventually led Uyen to Psalm 139, where she encountered a God who knew her completely, saw her even in the darkness, and wanted more than the parts of herself she thought were acceptable to give Him. She began to discover that following Jesus wasn't only about salvation or going to church - it was about being known, loved, guided, and accompanied by God in everyday life. Jessica and Uyen also unpack what a personal relationship with God actually looks like: encountering Him through Scripture, recognizing His involvement in the details of our lives, experiencing Him through biblical community, and discovering that we were never meant to follow Jesus alone. If you've ever wondered what Christians mean when they talk about "having a relationship with God" - or you've believed in God but wondered whether there could be something more - Uyen's story offers a beautiful invitation: seek Him. He wants to be known. Key Takeaway God's pursuit is personal and patient. Uyen's story shows that faith is more than believing God exists or knowing about Him; He invites us to know Him personally, bring Him all of ourselves, and experience His presence through Scripture, prayer, and biblical community. Related Bible Verses Psalm 139:1–18 (NASB) — "You have searched me and known me." Jeremiah 29:13 (NASB) — "And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart."

  Getting Right with God After 9/11: Karen Baker's Story of Faith at the Pentagon

  Sep 8, 202631 minS5

  Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, Karen Baker shares how surviving the attack on the Pentagon became the catalyst that led her to a saving faith in Jesus. Karen had been seeking God since childhood, but for years she thought following Him required choosing the right denomination, understanding religious rules, or fitting into a formal structure. Then 9/11 changed everything. Karen was working inside the Pentagon on September 11, only one corridor away from where American Airlines Flight 77 struck the building. In the aftermath, her work in media relations brought her alongside people grieving unimaginable loss. She watched as people turned to God not only for comfort, but for strength, guidance, and help with everyday life. Her own mortality became very real, and so did her need to get right with God. One year later, on the first anniversary of 9/11, Karen was baptized in the Pentagon chapel built at the site of the attack - publicly declaring her faith in Jesus on the very ground where tragedy had transformed so many lives. In this special episode honoring the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Jessica Cabrera talks with Karen about finding Jesus after tragedy, discovering that faith is about following Him rather than a denomination, and the lessons she has learned through 25 years of walking with God. Karen's story is a powerful testimony that God is present even in our darkest hours, continually seeking us, guiding our steps, and bringing beauty from ashes. Key Takeaway The tragedy of 9/11 awakened Karen to her mortality and her need for a Savior, but tragedy did not have the final word. Twenty-five years later, her story testifies that God meets us in our darkest circumstances, draws us into a personal relationship with Him, and can bring beauty from ashes. Related Bible Verses Isaiah 61:1-3 (NASB) — "He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted..." / "Giving them a garland instead of ashes..." Psalm 46:1-3 (NASB) — "God is our refuge and strength, A very ready help in trouble." John 14:6 (NASB) — "I am the way, and the truth, and the life..." Romans 10:9-10 (NASB) — "If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved..." Proverbs 3:5-6 (NASB) — "Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding." Listener Resources & Next Steps New to the Bible? Read the Gospel of John.

  When Life Knocks You Down: Lauyren Lewton’s Story of God’s Faithfulness

  Sep 1, 202630 minS5

  What happens when life knocks you down and you realize you can’t get back up on your own? In this episode of the Faith Conversations Podcast, Jessica Cabrera talks with Lauyren Lewton about a faith journey that moved from seeing Christianity as a list of rules to discovering a life-changing relationship with Jesus. Lauyren found herself at her lowest point in life as a mom when she lost her marriage and her job in the same season. With no clear way out and a growing realization that she was not in control, she turned to God in humility, prayer, Scripture, and Christian community. Lauyren shares how God met her in that difficult season, strengthened her through the prayers of others, provided a better job that enabled her to support her children, and eventually opened the door for her to serve other women through a ministry for single moms. Her story is a powerful reminder that when life knocks us down, God is faithful to meet us there. As Lauyren has learned to submit her plans and desires to Him, she has discovered a deeper relationship with God and the security of knowing that nothing can separate her from His love. Key Takeaway When life brings us to the end of our own strength and control, God meets us in the pit and invites us to depend on Him. Through surrender, prayer, Scripture, and Christian community, He can lift us up, deepen our faith, and even redeem our hardest seasons into opportunities to serve others.
