The Ripple Effect of Grace: Chelsey Hensel (39) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chelsey’s story is a reminder that the Lord never stops pursuing His children. Growing up without a Christian foundation, she found glimpses of God’s love through unexpected people: a grandmother‑figure named Yaya who brought her to church, an aunt and uncle whose joy overflowed, and friends whose faith quietly shaped her world. But it wasn’t until years later, in the middle of a life built around endurance sports, relationships, and self‑reliance, that Chelsey encountered the living God in a wa
Military Life, Marriage Struggles, and God’s Grace-Cal Wiggins (38) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From childhood panic attacks about death to the long road through bullying, false accusations, military life, and the slow healing of a wounded marriage, Cal Wiggins has lived a story that refuses to fit into neat categories.

Read excerpt
Derek Avilez never imagined his life would change in a single second. A skimboard, a wave, and three feet of water. All of the sudden, everything he knew was rewritten. Yet from the moment he woke face‑down in the ocean to the long road of recovery that followed, Derek has seen God show up in ways no accident could explain. In this conversation, Derek shares how faith carried him through professional soccer, firefighting, unimaginable injury, and the quiet miracles that kept unfolding—friends wh
Faith Through Perseverance-Stephen Heckler (35) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some stories remind us that faith isn’t built in the spotlight, it’s shaped in quiet woods, cold mornings, lonely battles, and the long obedience of simply keeping on. In this powerful testimony, Stephen Heckler shares how God met him in every season: as a pastor’s kid living in his father’s shadow, as a young man navigating Asperger’s and bullying, as a Civil War reenactor discovering the weight of chaplaincy, and as a father learning to pass on a faith forged through perseverance.
