"I don’t know where to begin or how much of my mental health journey I’m ready to share right now. And if I’m really honest, at first, I didn’t even want to do this episode. I was afraid to be vulnerable and talk about the painful, dark valley that I’ve walked through. The valley that I still find myself in sometimes. But I’m here. I’m here to tell my story because I’M STILL HERE. I’m living and breathing and that is a reason to share." - ErinIn today's special message, Erin Kelly-Bean shares her mental health story.

God didn't just write your story...  He is IN your story!He is in every moment... past, present, and future. He's been there all along and He's not going anywhere.  In today's message, Erin and Jill talk about how our stories are wrapped up in God's Greater Story! But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:9-10) No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:37-39)Erin and Jill refer to Kelly's episode. You can listen to her episode here.Learn more about our Podcast, Episode Guests and Hunter's Hope here.

Before time began God was writing your story. He knew there would be pain, but His purpose for your life is greater. He knew you would ask why, so He gave us His Son – the ultimate answer. Kelly’s testimony is evidence of the unwavering truth that God is in every detail of our story. The circumstances you can’t comprehend. The joy and the pain. The tears and the laughter. The brokenness and the breakthrough. It’s a story of surrender. I hope that you are moved by Kelly’s story and encouraged that God is in your story too.

Cling to Christ. In today's message, Erin and Jill talk about trusting God with the people He brings in and out of your life during different seasons.Learn more about our Podcast, Episode Guests and Hunter's Hope here.

Who are your people? Maybe you feel like all your people disappeared the moment darkness entered your story. People who promised to be there and love you but left when things got hard. If this is you, I believe you will connect with Beth and her amazing story. When her daughter, Eden, was diagnosed with a fatal disease and years later went to heaven, Beth lost her closest friends. The people in her life she thought would stand by her side in the midst of the suffering. Although it broke her heart to watch people walk out of her life, she watched God bring life and hope into her loneliness. When people left, He brought new people into her life. People she didn’t even know she needed. But God did… He knew the people Beth needed in her life during her season of suffering. And he knows the people you need in your life too. Learn more about Beth and her story here.Learn more about our Podcast, Episode Guests and Hunter's Hope here.

He will not leave you in your suffering. He has a greater purpose in your pain. In today's message, Erin and Jill talk about God's purpose for life even in the midst of your pain...
