As a hospital physician and the author of Anticipating Heaven, she's witnessed a peace in dying that defies understanding. It began with a conversation by a patient's bedside. It led to the writing of a book. But more than anything, it led her to see death not as a cold ending, but as a sacred passage.

Show notes

Megan Woods grew up in church but drifted away from faith during her teens. In high school, she experienced bullying, heartache, and a constant struggle with self-worth. It seemed she was never good enough. But in the lowest moment of her life, God began to show her the truth about who He is and His love for Megan. Out of that experience, Megan wrote a song called The Truth. Released in 2024, the song made Megan Woods the biggest debut artist in Contemporary Christian Music that year. It reached #1 on the Christian charts in the U.S. as well as on iTunes in 38 countries.

But inside, Derwin was still a boy without a role model, shaped by his father's absence and striving to prove he was worth something. He thought building a strong resume was the answer. Then, in the most unexpected way, God met him—in the locker room—through a teammate wrapped in nothing but a towel. What followed would change everything.

When Miss Kay Robertson was a young girl, her grandmother told her one day she might have to fight for her marriage. That seemed crazy to Miss Kay's young ears, but her grandmother was right. Long before Phil and Kay Robertson and their sons, Willie, Jase, Jep, and Alan became famous for making duck calls and the television show Duck Dynasty, Phil and Kay lived through ten hard years. The story of those early years is being told in a movie called The Blind. Phil and Kay started a family and married as teenagers. While Phil was in college, he began drinking. Soon he was an alcoholic, staying out all night, leaving Kay to raise their three sons. Everyone Kay knew told her to leave him. She knew if he was ever going to change, it would take a miracle.

Unfolding Short Stories: "...the more emotive I am, the more God surprises me." - Nigel Masenda Mar 11, 2025

Show notes

"I've often felt I can be too much, but the more emotive I am, the more God surprises me." Nigel Masenda learned early on that revealing his heart—tears, frustrations, and all—could open the door to unexpected moments of divine kindness. Growing up in a family and culture where men were often reserved, he felt out of place for expressing his emotions so freely. But when his mother traveled abroad for a funeral and couldn't return for two long years, loneliness and unanswered prayers pushed him deeper into raw, honest faith. Through caring neighbors, silent prayers, and a tenacious hope, Nigel discovered that embracing vulnerability before God not only shapes our perspective—it can transform our very lives.

Page 231: Jinger Duggar Vuolo: Breaking Free from Life as a People Pleaser Feb 28, 2025

Show notes

Jinger Duggar Vuolo grew up on television. From the age of 10 until she was 27, her family appeared on TLC's reality shows 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On. As the sixth child of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, she grew up in a strict religious system led by a teacher who claimed to speak for God. That belief system contributed to a view of God as an angry judge waiting for her next mistake. Motivated by a fear of rejection, she was driven to be a people pleaser, trying to keep everyone happy all of the time. But as she grew to know and understand God's love, she realized the loving thing to do was speak the truth. Jinger Duggar Vuolo is the author of Becoming Free Indeed, and People Pleaser: Breaking Free from the Burden of Imaginary Expectations.
