Join us on today’s episode of Faithly Stories as host Alicia Lee sits down with Mary Tutterow, author of The Heart of the Caregiver and The Peaceful Caregiver, whose personal journey through caregiving has touched thousands of lives. From leaving a high-powered media career to care for her daughter with special needs and later her mother-in-law with dementia, Mary’s story is a deeply moving portrait of surrender and strength through spiritual transformation.

Mary opens up about the emotional toll of caregiving, the healing of strained relationships, and the path to discovering identity and purpose through Christ. Her experience led to the founding of Healing Farms, a community for young adults with disabilities transitioning out of high school, furthering her mission to bring dignity and connection to those often left in isolation.

We’ll also explore how The Heart of the Caregiver has become a lifeline for churches and ministries looking to support caregivers in their congregation as Mary shares how the church can offer practical discipleship tools and safe spaces for people navigating caregiving, grief, addiction, and a myriad of other hidden struggles.

In this inspiring episode of Faithly Stories, guest Brian Chung, co-founder and CEO of Alabaster, shares with host Alicia Lee how a vision to present Scripture through the lens of design and beauty became a movement that's reshaping how people engage with God’s Word.

From his upbringing in Hawaii in a Buddhist household to a transformative encounter with Christ in college, Brian's personal story lays the foundation for a conversation about faith, art, and calling. He takes us behind the scenes of Alabaster’s first bold step—a Kickstarter campaign that far exceeded expectations—and the passion that has since driven their mission to make the Bible more visually compelling and spiritually meaningful.

With over a million books sold and recognition from Inc. 5000 and Forbes, Alabaster’s success reflects not only entrepreneurial grit but also a deep commitment to spiritual integrity. Brian opens up about moments of failure and hard choices, including one pivotal production error that became a defining lesson in choosing mission over money.
