God had Rhonda and Aalyiah unexpectedly cross paths through a simple act of obedience.Here is what Rhonda shared in her nomination for Aalyiah:

I was divorced last year (May 2024) and put my household items in storage with hopes of starting over. But the Lord said to me, "Get rid of it and follow Me." I had a garage sale with the majority of my items and He blessed me back four months worth of storage fees. Until I heard it again, "get rid of everything...

Brant and Sherri talk about the chaos and charm of July 4th traditions—specifically, the slip and slide. Brant has a list of hilariously accurate alternative names he’d seen on a parent’s blog—like "Slip and Chafe," "Slip and Jack Up the Water Bill," and "Slip and Kill the Lawn." Based on her own family’s experiences, Sherri agrees that every single one of those names rings painfully true. Click PLAY and compare your names with theirs.

The first time I met Katie Mathews was at the Washington State Fair. To this day, she holds the record for being the brightest, most joyful person I have ever met. What struck me was that Katie had the biggest smile at the Puyallup... even though she's living life in a wheelchair. Now, my sweet, inspiring friend has written a book called UNPARALYZED and trust me... once you get to know Katie on the page, your joy meter will rise. Join this ray of PNW sunshine and me for a conversation about getting unstuck from whatever has you unable to m...

One of my absolute favorite comments on a now-viral wedding video reads: "God is such a girl dad!"

Let me introduce you to Kayla and Micah Anderson. Their simple but heartfelt prayer for their wedding day was this: "Jesus, be glorified." And wow—did He ever show up in a well-timed moment!

Enter Lori: my coworker here at CRISTA Ministries. Like any mom-of-the-bride, she had a dream for her daughter's big day. So when the power suddenly cut out while the bridal party was getting glammed up, her first thought was hilariously practical:  "Too many curling irons...

I had the absolute joy of interviewing Anne Wilson, the incredible voice behind “My Jesus.” Hearing her share how the loss of her brother in 2017 led her into music and a deeper walk with Jesus was both heartbreaking and inspiring. Anne’s heart for encouraging others—especially young girls—to trust God through pain is so genuine, and I can’t wait to welcome her to Seattle soon!

I have a little Mental Health Monday for you, and was able to chat with Peter Carlson, a counselor at Sideris Church, and wow—what a great convo! We talked about why professional counseling is so valuable (hint: it's deeper and more confidential than venting to a friend). Peter shares how counseling isn’t just for tough times—it’s a great tool for growing, healing, and even preventing future struggles. We touched on big topics like anger, identity, and forgiveness, and he gave super practical advice—like checking your thoughts by asking: Is this true? Is it helpful? Is it kind?

"God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble." ~Psalm 46:1

Erica and Pastor Jesse from Grace Community Church sat down for a thoughtful conversation about the current conflict between Israel and Iran, and he brings such a calming, spiritual perspective to it all. He reminds us how important prayer is and shared how Israel becoming a nation again in 1948 fits into the bigger picture of biblical prophecy. There is a spiritual awakening happening in both Israel and Iran, connecting it to passages in Romans and Ezekiel that point toward Jesus’ return. I feel encouraged—grateful for God’s plan, hopeful for what’s to come, and grounded in the reminder that our...

So, I’ve never been much of a handyman. Some guys are amazing at it, and honestly, I’ve felt a little bad at times that I’m not one of them. But today I was reminded of something important.

A listener named Heather wrote in after hearing us talk about this. She said her dad could fix anything—but that’s not what she remembers most about him. What stuck with her were the moments: him tossing her in the air when he got home from work, tickling her face with his beard, praying with her, crying with her w...

It's hard to make sense of it all. Pastor Jesse gently encourages us to grieve, pray, and find comfort in the Holy Spirit. God’s power is capable of redeeming even the darkest situations, and calls us to be a light in the darkness.

"Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn..." -Romans 12:15

Rachel Hammons heard the heart-crushing news about the precious Decker sisters on a playground in Wenatchee. As her children and so many others played in the sunshine, she saw each mom look down at her phone and begin to mourn.
