We all go through seasons where life doesn’t look the way we planned—our health struggles, relationships fall apart, dreams feel out of reach, and faith can feel smaller than a mustard seed. In these moments, it feels as though our hope gets hijacked.

In this Hope Huddle, we sat down with Jaime Jamgochian, who knows this experience personally. Jaime is a Dove-nominated singer, songwriter, worship leader, speaker for women’s events, and author of Sacred Surrender: The Practice of Waiting Well with God. In this Hope Huddle, she shares her journey through unexpected health challenges, the wilderness season of Lyme Disease that caused her to go from living the dream in her newly decorated condo surrounded by community- to moving cross country away from the life she loved in order to be cared for by her parents. She describes the wilderness as a place where everything felt backwards. A place where she learned that her plan B was God’s plan A, and Jaime encountered God and learned to surrender as Jesus loved her back to health

If you’re wrestling with questions like:

• How do I trust God when the story I’m living isn’t the one I wanted?
• How do I find hope when life feels like it’s falling apart?
• How do I surrender when it feels like God is far away.

…this episode is full of encouragement, practical insight, and faith-filled guidance from someone who has walked the path herself.

In the final Rise from Ashes Hope Huddle, Sunny and Tammy pull up chairs around our table to wrestle with one of the hardest questions: Can any good come from the ashes?

Drawing from Romans 8:28, we explore what it truly means for God to work all things together for good- and what it doesn’t mean. We talk honestly about seasons of deep grief, betrayal, loss, and pain, and why leaning into these realities (without spiritual bypassing) is essential for transformation.

Together, we explore practical steps to process grief, identify lies and fears, and engage in honest conversations with God. Using the metaphor of the butterfly, we reflect on how cocoon-like seasons of suffering can break us down and reshape us into something new, ready to embrace the wide-open, spacious life God has for us.

This episode is for every woman navigating life’s wilderness, seeking hope, and wanting to discover purpose and goodness—even in the midst of the hardest seasons.

In this week’s Rise from Ashes Hope Huddle, we welcome Cat Fuller, a devoted wilderness woman, nurse practitioner, mom, nana, and a listener around our table. Together, we dive into honest conversations with God- those moments where the “what if” questions start creeping in, especially during seasons of chronic illness and health challenges.

Cat shares how bringing our doubts, fears, and questions before God doesn’t mean giving up; it means stepping into trust, even if the outcomes aren’t what we hope for. Listen in as she reflects on how music, prayer, and her special “Sitting Spot” have shaped her worship, hope, and perspective, and how living with health struggles has deepened her ability to hear God’s voice, see His faithfulness, and embrace each breath as a gift.

This episode is for every woman navigating wilderness seasons, longing to rise from ashes, and ready to step into the wide-open spacious life God has for her.

Ever wondered how your emotions and thoughts are connected to what your body feels? In this Hope Huddle conversation with counselor Amy Foraker, we explore how our bodies remember, how words can shape our stories, and how God brings healing even in the hidden places.

In this week’s Rise from Ashes, we invited Amy Foraker back for another Hope Huddle. She is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in private practice as well as a clinical supervisor and staff therapist at Bayside Counseling Center in Granite Bay, CA. Her passion is walking alongside others as they navigate the wild complexities of being fully human yet made in the image of God.

Have you ever been surprised by your own reactions or emotions? Amy had some fascinating insights about how our bodies are always listening and remembering, even long after we feel like our brains have “moved on.”

Surprisingly, we all had stories that elicited strong reactions in us, around the color purple. Listen in as you hear how God has been redeeming those stories — and how we can use our emotions as clues for restorative work in our lives as we get curious and invite Him into our process.

In this Hope Huddle we dive in to an honest conversation about the behaviors and beliefs that keep us bound to our wounds. When life breaks down, we often pick up lies, beliefs, roles, and coping mechanisms that feel like protection, but ultimately keep us stuck. But, what if forward movement was possible? What if freedom is FOR YOU?

You see friend, we believe that your “been through” can become the place of your breakthrough. When you sort through the rubble and do the brave work of naming the impact, you engage in a process that helps you reclaim your identity. This isn’t about self-help, but rather, it’s about partnering with God to experience supernatural healing as you rise and rebuild your life with Him.

In this week’s Rise from Ashes series, we huddle up with our dear friend Tori Hein- a down-to-earth Bible teacher, trauma-informed coach, and executive program director for Freedom Movement.

Tori vulnerably shares about her own wilderness season which led her to a place where her drive to “do more for God” left her in an endless cycle of performance. This was her way of  avoiding the grief that lurked below the surface of her life. In our conversation Tori paints the picture of the transformation that is possible if women will courageously turn toward the rubble and take the invitation to grieve their stories.

What if freedom is found on the other side of grief? What if God could surprise you with goodness again?

Buckle up- it’s time for Wild Hope.

What if God could turn your pain into praise?

In this week’s Hope Huddle, we’re kicking off our new series, Rise from Ashes. Together, we take the brave step of surveying the territory of our lives — looking honestly at the places that feel broken, the moments that left us heartbroken or stuck.

It’s not easy work. Sometimes we’d rather deny our ashes, pretend we’ve moved past them, or fail to recognize how they still impact us today. But what if the pathway forward is back? What if praise could erupt from pain, beauty could rise from the ashes, and joy could break through our mourning?

Join us for this honest conversation and be reminded that God meets us right there — in the wilderness, in the ruins — inviting us into a process where hope begins to rise once again.
