Have you ever wondered if your quiet obedience matters—or if God even sees you in the background? In this inspiring episode, Carolyn Hicks shares her journey of learning to embrace God’s purpose for her life, even when it didn’t look public, loud, or spotlight-worthy.

Though she stood alongside her husband during times of revival and spiritual movement, Carolyn often wrestled with feelings of being unseen or unqualified. But God was shaping something powerful in the hidden places—building strength through surrender, calling her to deeper trust, and equipping her to speak truth into the lives of others, especially young women.

As you listen, you’ll discover:

• Why God often works most powerfully behind the scenes
• How to move from insecurity to quiet confidence in your calling
• What it means to be chosen, equipped, and dearly loved—even when you feel overlooked
• The strength found in surrender and how God transforms our perceived weaknesses into places of impact

Whether you feel hidden in your current season or uncertain about your significance, this episode will encourage you: God sees you. He’s working in you. And your purpose is never small in His hands.

What do you do when life takes an unexpected turn? In this heartfelt episode, Deanne Ward shares her journey through a season of upheaval when her husband was diagnosed with cancer and all the loss that entailed. Though he would later be healed, the experience deeply shaped their family and tested the foundations of their faith.

Deanne reflects on how God sustained her in moments of uncertainty—not through instant answers, but through quiet promptings, deep peace, and the courage to keep moving forward. Along the way, she discovered the quiet, transformative power of presence—not only in her own walk with God, but in how she learned to stand with others as they walked through their own fires.

What if forgiveness could do more than just set you free — what if it could open the door for God to transform your entire situation?

In this deeply moving episode, Darlene Davis shares her powerful journey of learning to forgive in the face of pain, disappointment, and brokenness. With honesty and warmth, Darlene shows us that forgiveness is not something we wait to feel — it’s a decision, an act of obedience that opens our hearts to God’s healing power. When we choose to forgive, we don’t just release ourselves from bitterness or resentment — we also release the people we forgive into God’s hands, creating space for Him to work in ways we could never orchestrate on our own. Forgiveness becomes a catalyst for transformation — in our hearts, in our relationships, and in the circumstances we face.

In this episode, you’ll discover: Why forgiveness is a powerful choice, not an emotion How God can transform your heart and renew your perspective The ripple effect of forgiveness in healing relationships and situations Practical wisdom for forgiving when it feels impossible Hope that no wound or story is beyond God’s redeeming power

If you’re longing for freedom, restoration, or a fresh start in your life or relationships, this episode will encourage you to take that first courageous step — and remind you that when we forgive, we make room for God to do what only He can.

You’ll hear how authentic worship transforms pain into purpose and creates space for God’s power to move in unexpected ways.
