Hello, friend!

I've been wondering something...what do you do when life hands you news that completely upends your plans? News that shakes you? In this deeply moving episode, I interview Kelly Hall, host of the Unshakeable Hope podcast and mother of four children, three of whom are profoundly deaf.

Kelly shares her raw, honest journey from the devastating moment of her first daughter's diagnosis through raising twins who were also born deaf. You'll hear how God met her in a pizza restaurant the day she received the first diagnosis, how He orchestrated a phone call during her loneliest moment, and how He prepared her heart for this path when she was just 14 years old.

This episode offers both practical wisdom for those walking through unexpected hardship and guidance for those supporting loved ones in crisis. Kelly provides:

• Five specific ways to process life-altering news.
• Five steps you can take to truly support someone in pain.

Kelly's story demonstrates that our deepest grief can become the doorway to experiencing God's faithfulness in profound ways.

Whether you're facing your own unexpected challenge or supporting someone who is, Kelly's story will remind you that God goes before us into every difficult place, and no pain in His hands is ever wasted.

Maybe you experience God's peace in the midst of your life-shaking news today, my friend.

Always, Anna

Hey, friend.

Robyn's story is one of radical transformation, from Playboy bunny to beloved Christian speaker. Yet it's so much more than a simple before and after testimony. Robyn opens up about the dangerous lie many of us believe: that if we just follow the rules and be good church girls, nothing bad will ever happen to us. Robyn learned the hard way that trials come to everyone. Then she discovered something beautiful:

• God doesn't waste our pain
• It's never too late for a fresh start.

Whether you're struggling with shame from your past, feeling like you've wandered too far from God's will, or believing the lie that you're just getting what you deserve, Robyn's wisdom will challenge you to see your story through God's eyes. She shares practical insights about the power of testimony, the importance of community during difficult seasons, and why vulnerability isn't weakness but, rather, the pathway to helping others find hope.

May you find the courage today to reach out to the body of Christ in your hour of need, sweet friend.

Always, Anna

Hey, hey, hey! Welcome back to God's Power Stories!

In this powerful episode, we reconnect with Pam Kantola, who first joined us in episode 11 with her touching journey of finding light through the tragedy of losing her daughter, Stephanie. Pam returns to share the profound lessons and God-piphanies she's encountered over the past five years, stemming from her unexpected calling to start an online Bible study amidst the global pandemic. Journey with us as Pam reveals her heartwarming six God-piphanies, the challenges faced, and the transformative power of stepping outside comfort zones.

As we delve into discussions about faith, community, and overcoming fears, Pam's story is one of resilience and divine guidance. Through personal growth and fostering connections despite physical distances, Pam has impacted lives across states, engaging varied participants from Michigan to Florida. Listen in as we explore the deep, personal impacts of faith-led initiatives and the ways they shape us spiritually and communally.

I came up with six God-piphanes from Pam that I believe we can apply to our own approach to Bible study:

• Cultivating and growing relationships with others
• Realizing you're not alone in your need
• Not everyone who comes will already be a Christian...what better place to accept Christ than in a Bible study?
• Walking the walk through sweet conviction directly from the Abba Father
• A deeper understanding and application of the Word of God
• Allowing God to confirm that he is all you need

Whether you’re a long-time listener or new to God’s Power Stories, this episode is an invitation to witness the beautiful unfoldings when obedience to divine nudges transforms individual lives and communities. Join us for this inspiring conversation and discover the blessings found beyond our comfort zones.

Always, Anna
