Cameron and Danielle have been married for 6 years and currently live in Waco, TX whose full-time job is photography and videography. They share with us about their house-trained bunny, their favorite podcasts, how God brought them together, and what it's like working together. They welcomed their first baby boy, Cohen, last June and are expecting their second child later this year.
Read MoreJarrett and Katrina McCain join the podcast this month and share parts of their marriage and own up to the imperfections in their own hearts, life and marriage. As Christians, we are not here to promote perfection. It’s quite the opposite, we are living vessels to promote Christ’s perfect love found mercifully through God using imperfect people to tell others about His perfect, astounding love. Katrina shares more from her newly released book titled Seven Years of Love: For The Woman Who Desires to Love Well with Jarrett adding what he’s learned of what it means to love well but honestly sharing, he doesn’t do that perfectly most days. Some of the chapter are titled: Building Better Love, The Design for Marriage, The Right One, Love Who He Loves.
Read MoreAviana and Rick Valadez go into their marriage story and how Jesus saved and redeemed their lives. From head knowledge to a loving relationship with their Savior, from redemption from a gambling and drinking past and a compromised relationship, Rick and Aviana share the similarities in their stories is that they prayed to receive Christ into their lives yet it didn’t fully change their life until God took them to the end of themselves.
They also share how they allow Him to steer their blended family and how He led their family to street evangelism through their two boys and the journey from sharing Christ with total strangers on Friday nights to God preparing them for full-time missions.
They have a beautiful testimony and are sold out for the cause of Christ and honor Him with their whole lives.
Read MoreEpisode 15 was recorded in Brooklyn, New York. I sat down with Zack and Daniella Peck who drove all the way from New Jersey to record for the podcast.
Zack works with the youth at their church. Zack says he was working for the church for about a year before he was actually saved. It’s not about how well we do the “church” things, we can pretend all day long to be one person but God is not fooled. God wants our heart and through their testimony, we see just how patient, how loving and how kind our Father is with us. He patiently pursues our hearts and helps us work through our emotions and helps us process through them to get to the root of our heart hang-ups.
Daniella shares she grew up Catholic. She knew of God, believed in Him but it was always more about the rituals and had never opened up God’s Word for herself. Becoming a Christian was an easier transition as being raised Catholic meant believing in the same God but it became a more intimate, personal relationship with Him, knowing Jesus as God.
This episode would be great to share with a middle school or high school-aged person in your life as Daniella and Zack go into a lot of what the Lord spoke to them in their early relationship and how He called them to process through a lot of the hurt that stemmed from an immature, young “romance” and how He redefined and redeemed a lot of the idols, including each other, they had made.
Read MoreIn the first year of their marriage Elliott shares it was when Andrea, his wife, came to him saying they needed groceries and they had nothing in the checking account or savings that he realized something had to change.
“It really broke me and I realized I really had no idea how to honor God with my finances. Because I didn’t know where to turn I began a process of prayer.” Something they weren’t doing and something 78% of the couples they coach and work with aren’t doing is a consistent budget.
AS ELLIOTT WAS DRIVING ONE DAY, HE HEARD A MAN ON THE RADIO SAY, “THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW FINANCIAL PEACE IS TO WALK DAILY WITH THE PRINCE OF PEACE, CHRIST JESUS.” This was an answer to prayer. God began to show them through the Scripture His ways of managing the money He has given. We talk budgets, tithing, cutting up credit cards and how to work through eliminating debt, and conquering comparison in marriage!
Read MoreIn episode 10, we hear from Vanessa and Rehgert VanZyl, recorded live from the sleepy, surf town in the Eastern Cape, South Africa (Jeffrey's Bay).
Rehgert is a South African native (born and raised) and knew he had a unique upbringing in that he had a stable home life, parents still married and found Jesus early on. He wanted to share the hope found in Christ with the youth in his neighborhood and end the stigma of what you look like and break the generational sins which plague so many families in his community. From this, Aleph Surf International was created to meet the youth right where they're at.
Vanessa has a background in the apparel manufacturing world which led her to live in Eastern Africa (Uganda) for a few years prior to meeting Rehgert. The way God crossed their paths is truly divine and something only He could do! Truly supernatural touches that were so evidently from the Sovereign hand of the Father, who cares so much about the details of our lives!
Rehgert and Vanessa’s faith and ministry encouraged me to keep serving, to keep loving even when breakthrough isn’t being seen. Will we trust the Father’s at work when we don’t see tangible fruit? Will we serve Him even still? Will we be ready for Him when He comes back for His bride? All that and so much more in this tenth episode!
