Hey, friend!

I'm so excited to bring this powerful conversation with my friend from childhood, Lisa Bosse. Her faith journey took her through the heartbreaking loss of not one but two husbands. In this deeply moving episode of God's Power Stories, Lisa shares how God's presence sustained her through these events of sudden grief and unexpected loss.

 

Lisa opens up about losing her first husband Brent to Stage IV Melanoma after just 84 days. She found love again with John, only to suddenly lose him to a heart attack on Mother's Day 2023. Through tears and triumph, she reveals how God's promise, "I am with you and will never leave you," became her anchor through the storm.

 

You'll be encouraged by:

God's perfect timing, even in tragedy.
Finding hope and purpose after devastating loss.
The difference between being lonely and being alone.
Practical insights on grieving with faith.
How to "unpack" memories and move forward, without wasting God's gifts.
The power of resting in God's presence rather than striving in our own efforts

Whether you're walking through grief, supporting someone who is, or simply looking for a reminder of God's unfailing love, Lisa's story will inspire you to trust God's plan even when life doesn't go as you had expected or hoped.

 

Lisa is in the beginning stages of writing a grief devotional. She'll also be featured soon in an anthology titled See Him in Every Season. She continues to find joy in the Smoky Mountains with family, along with the assurance that God never wastes anything, not even our deepest pain.

May you hear God calling your name today, my friend.
Always, Anna

    Hello, friend! 
    I've been wondering something...what do you do when life hands you news that completely upends your plans? News that shakes you? In this deeply moving episode, I interview Kelly Hall, host of the Unshakeable Hope podcast and mother of four children, three of whom are profoundly deaf.
    Kelly shares her raw, honest journey from the devastating moment of her first daughter's diagnosis through raising twins who were also born deaf. You'll hear how God met her in a pizza restaurant the day she received the first diagnosis, how He orchestrated a phone call during her loneliest moment, and how He prepared her heart for this path when she was just 14 years old.
    This episode offers both practical wisdom for those walking through unexpected hardship and guidance for those supporting loved ones in crisis. Kelly provides:

    Five specific ways to process life-altering news.
    Five steps you can take to truly support someone in pain.

    Kelly's story demonstrates that our deepest grief can become the doorway to experiencing God's faithfulness in profound ways.
    Whether you're facing your own unexpected challenge or supporting someone who is, Kelly's story will remind you that God goes before us into every difficult place, and no pain in His hands is ever wasted.
    Maybe you experience God's peace in the midst of your life-shaking news today, my friend.
    Always, Anna

        Hey, friend.

        You thought you knew how to do this thing called life, but sometimes it just doesn't work out.

         

        What if God's plans are even bigger than our own expectations? In this powerful episode, I sit down with my friend Robyn Dykstra, bestselling author of The Widow Wore Pink and highly sought speaker who has an incredible gift for helping women discover hope in their darkest moments.
         

        Robyn's story is one of radical transformation, from Playboy bunny to beloved Christian speaker. Yet it's so much more than a simple before and after testimony. Robyn opens up about the dangerous lie many of us believe: that if we just follow the rules and be good church girls, nothing bad will ever happen to us. Robyn learned the hard way that trials come to everyone. Then she discovered something beautiful:

        God doesn't waste our pain
        It's never too late for a fresh start.

        Whether you're struggling with shame from your past, feeling like you've wandered too far from God's will, or believing the lie that you're just getting what you deserve, Robyn's wisdom will challenge you to see your story through God's eyes. She shares practical insights about the power of testimony, the importance of community during difficult seasons, and why vulnerability isn't weakness but, rather, the pathway to helping others find hope.
        May you find the courage today to reach out to the body of Christ in your hour of need, sweet friend.
        Always, Anna

          Hey, friend! 
          In today's episode of God's Power Stories, I want to introduce you to our pastor, Aaron Spratling, by sharing with you an excerpt from one of his recent messages. 
          Discover how God's presence transforms anxiety into peace through an incredible true story. Here, Aaron shares life-changing insights from Philippians 4:4-7 about overcoming worry, fear, and anxious thoughts.
          Aaron explores practical biblical strategies for managing anxiety, including the power of prayer, petition, and thanksgiving when life feels overwhelming. Learn why turning to God instead of Google searches, social media scrolling, or endless news consumption can bring supernatural peace that transcends understanding.
          This episode features Aaron's personal testimony of his cancer journey and a divine encounter with a doctor who was with him throughout his entire hospital stay. Discover how God's presence shows up in unexpected ways during our most challenging seasons.
          This episode is perfect for anyone struggling with anxiety, worry, depression, or seeking God's peace in difficult times. This Christian testimony will encourage your faith and remind you that Immanuel is truly with us.
          Be blessed today, my friend.
          Always, Anna

            Hey friend! Thanks for joining us for this episode of God's Power Stories, where I delve into the spiritual practice of fasting. Explore how fasting serves as a tool for reflection and personal growth, allowing you to re-evaluate life with fresh eyes and align yourself closer to God's plan.
            Through engaging storytelling and personal anecdotes, including tales of our adorable and mischievous Aussie Poo puppy, Blue, I illustrate the challenges of self-control and the irony of slowing down through fasting to gain clarity and strength.
            Discover the profound impacts fasting can have on your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Gather practical tips on how to approach a fast as well as come out of a fast with sincerity and accountability.
            May you find a closeness with God that will blow your mind as you approach your next fast.

              Hey, friend!
              In this heartfelt episode, I reflect on my transformative journey toward building legacy for my children. I went into the archives for this one--my first ever YouTube live--as I was nearing the release of my first novel, Legacy.  Through the sharing of personal struggles, family stories, and the insight of humor columnist Irma Bombeck, I explore the concept of legacy and the invaluable steps you can take, too, toward intentional living.
              I open up about overcoming a tumultuous period marked by divorce, rediscovering faith, and refocusing my life for the sake of my children, using five transformative steps. I intertwine candid anecdotes with Biblical reflections, emphasizing the power of vulnerability, forgiveness, and the importance of creating a nurturing environment for my kids. This story of honesty is complemented by a gentle reminder of a firm faith and reliance on God, showcasing the role it plays in building a purposeful legacy.
              Whether you're in search of inspiration or embarking on your own journey of legacy-building, this episode offers practical wisdom and heartfelt encouragement. I invite you to reflect on your personal values, take stock of your resources, and thoughtfully measure your success. Embrace this real-time opportunity to shape your own legacy.
              May you realize God’s power in building your own legacy today, my friend.
              Always, Anna
