- 20Bonus Episode "Everyday Extraordinary Characters"What comes to mind when u picture people in the Bible? Archaic, unrelatable stories? perfection beyond reach? When u take a look at the characters in the Bible and immerse yourself in their story, and read all of the details, you see people. People like us. Flawed. Headstrong. Humble. Caring. Awful. Saved.

- 22"Standing Strong in Her Own Shoes" Jernise Young (Faith Mamas-Pt. 2)Let’s face it. Most of us struggle with worrying about what other people think, and keeping up a good image. Sometimes though, left unchecked, it can lead to a hard path, and hidden choices. Jernise walks us from her happy childhood through her conflicted and transformational thirties…with choices she never thought she would make, and trials she never thought she would face. Her loving God gently transformed her, from the inside out, and kept her, all along the way. And today, she stands strong, in her own shoes, with her little daughter hand-in-hand.This episode was made possible by Jernise’s loving parents, Jervins & Tina Young, who raised her in love, and are still walking alongside her & her daughter. The Passion Translation: Psalm 139:5-“You have gone into my future to prepare the way, and in kindness you follow behind me, to spare me from the harm of my past. With your hand of love upon my life, you impart a blessing to me.”This is the second part in our three part series on the Faith Mamas Tribe. This is a beautiful ministry of Mama love and prayer.——————————————We would love to hear how the Lord has encouraged you through this story at lfhpodcast@gmail.comFor more everyday extraordinary faith stories:We are on Instagram, iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, Google, iHeartRadio and all of the places podcasts live.

- 23"Beautifully Made" Ryann Gaines (Faith Mamas-Pt. 3)Beautifully made. We hear that. Many of us know that. But just repeating that doesn’t get us there in our thinking and in our self-talk. Ryann shares with us her story of getting there, to a place where she knows she is soooo loved by her heavenly Father, and uniquely beautiful in His sight.On her journey of getting there, she walked through a difficult season, including postpartum depression, suicidal thoughts and unhealthy feelings of unworthiness. Her loving family and friends walked her through that season, and she has come out on the other side. As we hear her gentle spirit and faith inviting us into her life, I pray we also get to that place of knowing we too are beautifully made.Psalm 139:13–14[13] For you formed my inward parts;you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.[14] I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.Wonderful are your works;my soul knows it very well. (ESV)This is the 3rd part in our three part series on the Faith Mamas Tribe. This is a beautiful ministry of Mama love and prayer.——————————————We would love to hear how the Lord has encouraged you through this story at lfhpodcast@gmail.comFor more everyday extraordinary faith stories:We are on Instagram, iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, Google, iHeartRadio and all of the places podcasts live.

- 24"The Road to Authenticity" Micah Horvath (Mountain & Valley Podcast-Pt. 2)Your story matters. If it has brokenness, and hurt. It matters. If it doesn’t seem like a flashy story, it matters. Everyone has a story. And every life has impact. So many people in the church grow up in a loving Christian home. Praise the Lord, right? At the same time, it is easy to do all of the right things on the outside, being respectful, going to youth group & church, even leading things, but never have a personal relationship with Christ.Micah Horvath’s life is one such story. He takes on his journey to authenticity. And he will share with us, what part music, his family, his mentors & alopecia play in his story.——————————————We would love to hear how the Lord has encouraged you through this story at lfhpodcast@gmail.comFor more everyday extraordinary faith stories:We are on Instagram, iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, Google, iHeartRadio and all of the places podcasts live.
