Hope Found During Challenging Financial, Business, and Relational Situations

Hope Found During Challenging Financial, Business, and Relational Situations

You've felt the yoyo effect of business and finances. For a time you were doing really well and making great gains, but the next thing you know, you're handing the keys of your house and car over to the bank. How do you navigate the shame and embarrassment of perceived failure?

You were pursuing education for the job you've always dreamed of doing, but it wasn't going as you had planned. Now, not only have you quit school, your wedding engagement is called off, and church and family relationships are struggling. How do you know what to do next?

Many of these scenarios are quite common. Either yourself or someone you know has/is working through them. Each of these causes you to test your faith. This was the case for Andrena Sawyer. Tune into today's episode as she shares with Rachel how she learned to cling to God, surrender her plans, and instead, embrace the ones He had for her, along the surprises and blessings she experienced from Him because of it.

A Courageous Lady Shares the Challenge of Being Single!

A Courageous Lady Shares the Challenge of Being Single!

Christmas is approaching and we are aware that many struggle with this holiday for various kinds of sorrows and expectations not feeling like they're being met. Some are grieving the loss of a loved one, a broken relationship, or even the lack of one.

Singleness is obviously hard at Christmastime as family and friends gather to celebrate and share memories of the year. This is no exception for Christians either.

Is it possible to have peace and joy while being single?

Rachel asks Natalie hard questions about this topic in today's episode, and Natalie courageously shares the struggle in this, as well as offers solid encouragement and advise to those who empathize with her.

Who Are Your Allies (Part Two)?

Who Are Your Allies (Part Two)?

God has so graciously allowed the world the opportunity to join together with His people, the Israelites, to be one family, to those who accept Jesus' gift of salvation.

As we discovered last month, we also are united together as one army under the Lord of Armies. He's given us Holy Spirit to counsel and defend us, His heavenly army to fight alongside us, as well as our brothers and sisters on earth.

One of the most vital things to protect in this family is our unity. The Devil works hard to create division among us, so that we won't be Christ's example of hope, light, or love to this hurting world.

When we become aware of this, we can make, "every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." Ephesians 4:3

When we do keep the unity, God does mighty work through His body of believers, joining the gifts He has given us to be the whole representation of Jesus to the world.

Learn together with Sammy and Rachel as we discuss the need for unity, and the power it can have, within and through the family of God!

A Military Special for Remembrance & Veterans Day

A Military Special for Remembrance & Veterans Day

There are a lot of correlations between military and Christian life. As a military wife of fourteen and a half years, Kalyn has experienced countless moments where the two have connected.

If you love a good military homecoming story, hearing the behind the scenes of what military life is like, or want to find out ways to support soldiers and veterans, this is your episode.

With Remembrance and Veterans Day tomorrow, Kalyn and Rachel also talk about ways you can support both current and retired soldiers.

Thank you to every Air Force, Army, Marine, National Guard, Navy, Reservist, Chaplain, and Veteran who is and/or has served your country, and thank you to each of your family members as well. We truly appreciate the sacrifices you make every day for your country and our freedom.

“May the Lord bless you and protect you;
may the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
may the Lord look with favor on you
and give you peace.”
Numbers 6:24-26

Who are Your Allies (Part One)

Who are Your Allies (Part One)

God is so good, isn't He?! He cares deeply about you! So much so, that He created you in His image.

It can be difficult to remember this when going through trials or attacks from the enemy. Weariness sets in and the weight of your circumstances has a tendency of clouding out God's truth.

So, in His grace and love, He's given you an army to fight for you because He knows you can't do it on your own. God Himself is the Commander! If we were to ask you, do you know who else is on your team?

Discover who's on your team and the amazing work they're doing behind the scenes for you.

God's Strength is So Important to Understand!

God's Strength is So Important to Understand!

When your back is against the wall and you feel alone, God's strength will help you out.

When you feel like everything has been lost, God's strength will provide.

When you're in a heavy season, God's strength will help you endure.

But how? How to you identify and trust in God's strength instead of your own? How do you look for it in times of weakness? Is there something you can do to learn this now, in order to be prepared later?

Sammy and Rachel explain this using Biblical and personal examples to help you understand the power of God's strength for you!

What is Spiritual Warfare

What is Spiritual Warfare

Do you know there's a war taking place you cannot see, and that you've actually been a part of it?


Spiritual warfare is something a lot of us in North America fear talking about. We want to avoid the topic because if we're ignorant about it, we can pretend it doesn't exist, right?


We want to challenge you about that thought. You can experience great victory when you understand that every physical battle and suffering you face in this life is part of a greater spiritual war at work. We don't deny that the enemy is powerful, but we serve a God that is far greater than Satan and any of his team.


In this episode, Sammy and Rachel explain spiritual warfare from North American and Caribbean understandings.

Could You Do It?

Could You Do It?

In this episode Brennan and Rhonda Cattani share some of the journey that God brought them on as he prepared them to plant a church in a core neighbourhood in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Their discovery was not groundbreaking, but it certainly was life-changing;  the discovery that all of life is church and church is all of life.

From this point, they began to see that a Community of Faith needs to operate within three concentric circles to actually live out the great commission, making disciples. It needs to be life on life, life in community, life on mission together.

Listen to today's episode to understand what this means and how it can impact your life with Jesus too.

What Happens When Good Christians Fail

What Happens When Good Christians Fail

Did you grow up in the church and in a Christian home, but have walked away from your faith and never looked back? Do you feel you are too far gone? Do you think God could never use you because of all the mistakes you’ve made?

Janise Somer was a pastor’s daughter, attended Sunday School and youth group, sang in the church choir, went to Bible college, married a Christian, and even worked on staff at a large church in Calgary. But things changed when her husband of 18 years left her with two little girls under the age of 7. She felt abandoned by her husband, the church, and by God. She found herself bitter and angry and began partying and looking for acceptance and validation in all the wrong places. In her rebellion against God, she even re-married and got divorced … again!

In this podcast, Janise will talk about the mess she made of her life, but how God didn’t forget about her and how he is now fulfilling the promise in her life, “He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it.”

The Cost of Freedom

The Cost of Freedom

Today we remember and honour our soldiers who have sacrificed their lives or a part of their lives in service to our country so that we might continue to live in freedom. They protect our families, our values, and safety. Thank you to all active service members, reservists, and veterans. Thank you as well to all of the families and friends who support the soldiers as well. 

We appreciate the peace we can have because of the price our brave men and women have paid for our freedom. We understand war does immense damage and that soldiers more often than not are greatly affected by this. Today, we want to remind you that there's always hope! Someone understands the price you've paid and how to heal your deeply marked wounds. Listen to the episode to find out more.

Can you have victory over the enemy? Hear what lie Rachel didn't know she was believing until it was exposed. We pray her story will help you find truth and freedom in yours too. 

"I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly, see, I do not keep my mouth closed as You know, LORD. I did not hide Your righteousness in my heart; I spoke about Your faithfulness and salvation; I did not conceal Your constant love and truth from the great assembly." - Psalm 40:9-10 (HCSB)

One Miraculous Easter Story!

One Miraculous Easter Story!

God cares about every single detail of your life. As the old saying goes, "When one door closes, another opens." Kelvin and his wife, Lorie, were faced with the deep grief of a miscarriage and loss of another friend on April 16, 2005. As they were working through their sorrow, the Lord showed up with a miraculous and perfectly timed gift exactly one year later, on Easter, April 16, 2006. Tune in to find out what happened!

Kelvin Thiessen is the Director of Admissions at Millar College of the Bible in Pambrun, SK. He is married to Lorie and they have four children, John Calvin, Janessa, David, and Caleb. He spent his childhood in Roseau River, Manitoba, the youngest child of John and Rose Thiessen. Kelvin enjoys reading, cheering for the Riders (be kind it’s been a rough year), and traveling to new places during his time off. During the summer he loves to take a week to share the good news at Bible Camp. He appreciates the words that John Newton is quoted as saying, “I am a great sinner, But Christ is a Great Saviour!”

Surprising Gifts Given During Tragedy

Surprising Gifts Given During Tragedy

Brad and his sister Marcia were close as kids. As they grew older, God led each of them into Christian service. This meant they lived far from one another and led busy lives which made it difficult to stay connected. Despite this, every time they were together, they were able to pick up where they left off. In the midst of raising four adopted children and supporting her husband in pastoral ministry, Marcia was diagnosed with cancer. The following years were deeply painful and tragic as Marcia fought to live but ultimately lost the battle to cancer. 

In this episode, Marcia's brother Brad shares about his family's journey to Marcia's funeral and how God's provisions along the way provided not only evidence of His goodness in an hour of darkness, but hope as he continued to process a complicated grief afterwards. 

Are you on a journey with tragedy and grief that feels complicated? Do you struggle to reconcile the truths of who you believe God to be with your life's experience? As you listen to this episode, consider what evidence of God's goodness He has provided in your life which has carried you through your own sorrows.

Victory Over Darkness

Victory Over Darkness

How exciting! You've just had a baby! You should be thrilled right? Reality is, many women struggle with hormonal imbalances and exhaustion after a baby is born. When other situations life situations hit, it can be way more overwhelming than normal. What do you do when you should be enjoying this stage of life but it's a challenge to get out of bed and face another day?

The enemy tries to create a stronghold of shame around the idea of post-partum depression. He is a joy stealer. However, by the power of God's word, His community, and the right support, you can overcome it and find peace and joy again. 

Bethany blesses us with her story of staying committed to Christ in spite of the weight that post-partum held on her. She shared with others in her time of need, was courageous in seeking help, and is now a light and gift to many others as she coaches people in how to have a God-honouring, disciplined, and healthy life.

Obeying God Even When it Means Great Sacrifice

Obeying God Even When it Means Great Sacrifice

There is a cost to following Jesus, but God is always faithful to provide. That’s something David witnessed growing up. Most recently, with the current health and political climate, David came to learn this lesson again. He was pastoring a small rural church in Manitoba when, after studying the Bible, he became convinced that the church must gather in person. At that point, he had to decide what to do – either go along with the leadership or stand upon his biblical conviction. Listen to today’s episode to hear what David did and how God provided.

Lord, Where Are You?

Lord, Where Are You?

Julie's life was turned upside down at the young age of 27. A month after she married her best friend, Julie got in a serious bicycle accident.
