In this heartfelt episode, Cyndi Wilkens and Shusma Adhikari share powerful stories of faith, resilience, and service in Nepal. Discover how God's calling can transform lives, build community, and bring hope to those in need, regardless of physical or emotional challenges.

It's been 15 years since I lost my hands and feet and I am excited to share more of my journey with you. It's been a path of learning to surrender to God's will, understanding the importance of relying on faith and strength during overwhelming moments. We will discuss how  surrender leads to personal growth and a deeper connection with Jesus.

Finding hope and tranquility can often feel daunting and even unattainable during turbulent times. However, God! His word instructs us not to succumb to fear or anxiety. He provides us with an ideal remedy for discovering that peace and hope amidst the challenges of life. 

Recently, I found it necessary to rely on His prescription to avoid becoming anxious during a crisis at home. This reliance on Him granted me peace and hope in the midst of the storm. 

Are you prepared to fill your prescription? 

Memorize Philippians 4:6-7 with me. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And He will guard your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus."

Have you ever thought of your joy as being contagious? Join me as we unpack God's word and find the path towards contagious joy.

Doubt. It comes at us all. But how do we find the faith and courage to push through it? Join me as together we seek God's perspective in our times of lack of confidence. He can do immeasurably more.

SEASON FINALE -  Join me as we dive deeper into how we find JOY in  seasons of lament.

Does God really care when we receive a frightening diagnosis, when a family member has a mental breakdown or the physical pain is unbearable from a recent injury?

If the answer is yes, how does God fit into the pieces of our broken lives?
Does God have a higher purpose when we go through suffering?

Tune in as Cyndi and Ruth unwrap the answers to these questions.

 What kinds of trials might we walk through before we arrive at the promised joy? Join Ruth Coghill and I as we dive deeply into God’s word and our own experiences to unwrap the beauty of persevering in the middle of life’s struggles.

One day everything seems normal and then, in a moment, life turns upside down.  A job loss, a health crisis, an accident, an addiction, loss of a relationship through divorce, death or communication breakdown.

Cyndi and Ruth Coghill discuss the source of our suffering and the hope and joy we can find in God’s bigger plan.

Do you ever blame yourself or someone else for the hardships that come?

 Today Cyndi and Ruth will discuss what went wrong, and why at times we endure unbearable suffering? 

Everything goes back to the first book in God’s Word. Listen in to gain a healthy perspective on the trials that we all face at times in our lives.

We all have experiences of heartache, loss and various kinds of suffering.

To begin this series on Suffering,  join Cyndi and Ruth as they share some of the upcoming topics:  What went wrong? Why me? Why does God allow suffering and how does He fit into our suffering? 

We long for you to find answers with us for we are told that there is an end to our suffering with a  final destination of JOY.

Are you trying to shine a light but everywhere you turn your facing resistance? How do we climb the mountain when we run out of steam? Join me as I share those moments I'm out of my comfort zone. There are many! We will  explore what it feels like to face resistance, and how we can overcome it. 

“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:38-42 

Why did Jesus say that Mary had chosen what is better, to sit at Jesus’ feet? Was Martha’s work not important? Tune in as Cyndi and Ruth explore the importance of priorities if we are to enjoy the abundant life we have been promised. "
