Today's guest is Rachel Friesen. She is such a joy and light for Christ and you can hear it throughout this episode. Rachel gets incredibly vulnerable with the unexpected loss of her dad, then talks about a long season of singleness and how God provided grace throughout. She talks a bit about her experience attending seminary and learning that its okay to share different views.

We would love to have her back on, because we didn't have enough time to get into everything, but I hope you enjoy!

This is the introduction episode of our Toxic Empathy book club by Allie Beth Stuckey. We discuss and define the word empathy, what it means to be political and whether Christians should get involved in politics.

It's an episode filled with the evidence of God in her life.

This is a heavy episode about our personal experiences with grief. In every season of grief, death, loss of a relationship, or loss of any kind, there is a death of a dream. I hope this is relatable to your experience in some way. Lean on God through this. He is perfectly good, regardless of the loss you are going through. There is no hope if not for Him.

This is my testimony (Sahra). I pray this would ultimately glorify God and give insight into what he saved me from. 

While I no longer like disclaimers, one thing I would like to say, I do not tell my story of Isaac and I's relationship as an example to follow. This is not me advising anyone in a relationship where one person is saved and the other isn't, to wait it out. Please, be persistent in God's Word. Seek what He says. He does not speak anything that contradicts His Word. 

As hard as it is to hear, leave the dating relationship. Even if you are engaged and one person is not saved, do not use my story as an example. Do not think because it worked out in my story, that God always works it out in a similar way. If you are reading this and find yourself in a similar situation, I will pray for you. That you will clearly feel God's strength and grace guiding you.
