    About the Guest:
    Robin Jones Gunn’s journey began with a spirit of adventure and a heart for faith. She traveled to Mexico on mission trips and later to Europe, where she bravely smuggled Bibles behind the Iron Curtain, an experience that sparked her lifelong calling to serve. Eager to go wherever she was needed, Robin applied to multiple missionary organizations, but faced repeated rejections. When one organization offered a rare opening as a laundry supervisor in Nairobi, Kenya, she seized the chance and shared her plans with the girls in her Sunday school class, where she had already been making an impact for years. These early experiences fueled her passion for sharing stories of faith, hope, and inspiration—a calling that would later blossom into her successful writing career.

In this moving episode, host Kim sits down with Amy D’Arcy and Nicole Thomas, founders of the Healing at the Well ministry in San Clemente, California. Both Amy and Nicole share their deeply personal journeys through widowhood, opening up about the pain of losing their husbands to suicide and the unique challenges they faced raising children and finding hope amidst profound grief. Together, they reveal how faith, family, and community supported them through their darkest days, and how God transformed their pain into a powerful purpose: to support other widows and help them rediscover hope. Tune in as Amy and Nicole talk about the launch of Healing at the Well, a ministry providing grief counseling, connection, and practical support for widows in need. You’ll hear about the power of community, the importance of generosity, and how faith can sustain us—even when life takes unexpected and heart-wrenching turns. Whether you have faced loss yourself, know someone who has, or want to better understand how to support those walking through grief, this episode is a testament to resilience, compassion, and God’s unfailing presence.

After attending Capistrano Valley Christian School, Amy’s faith took root early when she accepted the Lord into her heart in sixth grade—a foundation that would sustain her through life’s challenges. She became a professor at MiraCosta College, dedicating herself to the field of education. Thirteen years ago, on the eve of her fortieth birthday, Amy’s world changed forever when she suddenly lost her beloved husband, Joe. This profound loss marked a pivotal chapter in her story. Still, Amy’s faith and resilience have carried her through many of life’s highs and lows, shaping the compassionate educator and inspiring woman she is today. Nicole Thomas grew up in a suburb of Oregon, where she also attended the University of Oregon to study psychology, initially dreaming of becoming a mediator or counselor. However, after college, Nicole realized that these paths wouldn't provide the financial security she sought, so she pivoted into healthcare marketing. Over nearly twenty years, Nicole built a successful career—starting in sales, climbing the corporate ladder in marketing, and moving from Oregon to Indianapolis for work before eventually being recruited to Southern California. There, she continued her journey with several health care startups. Nicole’s path was shaped by both professional triumphs and personal loss, including the passing of her late husband. Still, she reflects on her journey with gratitude for the experiences and the full-circle moments life has brought her.

    About the Guest: Jenni's journey into ministry began in the 1990s when her family welcomed her brother through foster care. Witnessing his adoption process, which took nearly five years, profoundly impacted her during her teenage years. This experience gave her a unique perspective on the child welfare system, revealing its many flaws and the unintended harm it could bring to children. Here, her heart was moved deeply for those affected by the system. In February 2008, Jenni felt inspired to take action and launched "Chosen," a ministry born from her desire to support and advocate for vulnerable children navigating the complexities of the child welfare landscape.
