  Stasi Eldredge: When Childhood Wounds Shape Your Faith- Finding Healing in God's Love: Page 293

  Oct 2, 202641 min

  We'd love to hear what God has done in your life. Share your story. What happens when the wounds of your past shape what you believe about yourself and God? As a child, Stasi Eldredge learned to be invisible and need nothing. Later, abuse and betrayal deepened her belief that she wasn't worth loving. Even after encountering Jesus, she spent years trying to earn God's acceptance. Stasi shares the journey that helped her face those wounds and begin to receive God's love personally. Through counseling, prayer, and Scripture, her sense of identity changed from unwanted to cherished. A New York Times bestselling author and coauthor of Captivating with her husband, John Eldredge, Stasi also introduces her new book, The Ladder of Love. Hear a story of faith, emotional healing, and growing closer to Jesus on this episode of The Unfolding. Content note: Discussion of abuse, sexual assault, suicide, substance use, and abortion.

  Marcel Patillo: Chasing Success and Finding His Way Back to God: Page 292

  Sep 25, 202648 min

  Marcel Patillo seemed born for a life in music. His father, Leon Patillo, sang with Santana before launching a Christian music career. His mother, Jackie, became president of the Gospel Music Association. And his brother, Gabe, toured with TobyMac for decades. But talent, opportunity and a childhood surrounded by faith couldn't give Marcel an identity, or a faith, of his own. He chased record deals, recognition and a future in Los Angeles, while God became someone he planned to get back to "eventually." When his dreams unraveled, and later when the death of his brother brought profound grief, alcohol pulled Marcel's life in a dangerous direction. In this episode, Marcel shares how God patiently drew him back through Scripture, Christian community and a series of small acts of obedience. Today, he creates music and films as I AM ABLE, including his newest song, "High," a cinematic depiction of the spiritual battle between darkness and light.

  Diana Kannady: "I Witnessed the Tragic Shooting of My Fiancé" | Unfolding Short Stories

  Sep 22, 202612 min

  "I witnessed the tragic shooting of my fiancé." Diana Kannady was 22, pregnant, and planning a wedding when her life changed in an instant. More than 20 years later, Diana would face another devastating loss when her husband, Chris, drowned just hours before their daughter's wedding. In both moments, Diana made the same decision: to trust God. Her story is a powerful picture of the peace Philippians says "transcends all understanding," and of God's faithfulness when life is anything but peaceful. https://www.dianakannadyauthor.com/

  Bruce Van Natta: Saved by Angels, From Skeptic to Believer: Page 236

  Sep 18, 202659 min

  Content Warning – not appropriate for children. Bruce Van Natta's childhood was filled with abuse and trauma, but he had one encounter with Jesus that marked him . He knew God was real . What he didn't understand is why God didn't rescue him. As he got older, he clearly heard God call him into ministry, but he was angry, skeptical, and cynical. As a diesel mechanic, Bruce regularly worked on big rigs . On a fateful day in 2006, he was lying under a logging truck that weighed 18,000 pounds . What happened on that day can only be described as other-worldly ; an accident, a near-death experience, and an encounter with the supernatural. This is a graphic story that is not appropriate for younger listeners. Bruce Van Natta is the author of Saved by Angels and the founder of Sweet Bread Ministries.
