If you or someone you know have ever taken medications for anxiety, depression, ADHD, to name a few, you will want to listen to this important conversation.  My guest shares his testimony about the destruction of medications that are given freely to people who may only need to be on this sort of medication for a short time, NOT a lifetime. He also shares how difficult it is to STOP taking medications that you thought were helping you but later found out that they had horrific side effects and now you are a prisoner to. It is a heartfelt story that is sure to bring compassion and understanding, and hope for someone you may know,  someone who is struggling, or maybe even yourself.  We pray that this story/testimony will help you or someone you love begin to find solutions to a healthy and happier life.   •Recommended reading by ParkerVictor FrankelA man searches for meaningOther helpful links:Amazing Grace RetreatsThe Road Adventure (Amazing Recovery and spiritual growth)Blue Diamond Roofing & ConstructionTrinity ChurchFellowship of the Sword  (Amazing Recovery and spiritual growth)If you have enjoyed these podcasts and would like to support the show, click on the Patreon link below.Patreon MembershipBe sure to turn on your notifications for the Amazing Grace talk podcast on your preferred listening platform!Thanks for all of your love and support!

Many times we see a car wreck after it has happened with lots of traffic, police officers, and ambulances.  But have you ever come upon one at the moment it happened?  Did you stop to help them? Did it cross your mind? Or did you just hurry on to where you were going? I think that is most of us, thinking there are many other people, to stop and help. In 2009 on a very busy highway in Dallas Texas, that very thing happened to me.  A wreak had literally just happened.  I was in a hurry, I had agreed to pick up one of my daughter's friends from cheer practice. It was after dark and in an unfamiliar location not close to our home, and I couldn't be late. In an instant, I felt a strong and very clear feeling to STOP and help the person in the car! Across a 5 lane highway.  There was no negotiating that I didn't have time, I had to go help!What came next was one of the most miraculous stories of my life and to this day still is. Listen to this heartfelt testimony of how God can move in our lives and Angels are at work when we are not even aware!Other helpful links:Amazing Grace RetreatsThe Road AdventureBlue Diamond Roofing & ConstructionIf you have enjoyed these podcasts and would like to support the show, click on the Patreon link below.Patreon MembershipBe sure to turn on your notifications for the Amazing Grace talk podcast on your preferred listening platform!Thanks for all of your love and support! 

Sylvia and I met through a mutual friend.  I was looking for a housekeeper, but found so much more!  A spiritual mentor and a friend I could "get organized" laugh and cry all at the same time.  She says that I have been as much of a blessing as I believe she has been for me.   This is the way the LORD works.  He always knows exactly what we need exactly when we need it, and if we choose to ask and look to HIM for advice and direction I believe that HE will show you! Come with us on this journey and learn how to NOT fall into the trap of manipulation and control when parenting your adult children.  Always seek God's advice first! #adultparenting #healthyboundries # parenting 

Debbie was at her bible study when she received a call that would change her life forever.One of her sons said, "Mom, how soon can you get home?" She said, somewhere in my heart, I knew what that meant.  Can you even imagine driving home with the wonder of what could be?  She had just celebrated her birthday with friends.  As that happy event went through her mind on her drive home, so entered the mystery of what was about to take place when she arrived home.  Why would her adult son be at her home and what information was so important that he would meet her there.I hope you will join us on this podcast to hear Debbie's amazing story of hope, strength, and love. Her determination to impact others through her darkest days will inspire you and your walk with Jesus and I believe, bring you to a new level of your faith.  By God's strength, she chose to rise above the most devastating circumstance she had ever experienced to impact others' lives giving them hope and encouragement.  Check out the links below to learn more of how you can help spread the kindness and love that Marc shared in his "Last Letter" It is more relevant even more in today's world to truly understand that FREEDOM is NOT FREE and we must be grateful for our privileges.  America's Mighty Warriors  The Warfighters: Charlie Platoon and The Story of Marc Lee

Beto Pena has been a dear friend for over 40 years.  Yes, it's true.   We met at Red Bird Skateland in Duncanville, TX.   He along with his sister, Dantia, my best friend Julie and Keith were the talk of the town, especially because of the skating competition that was held each summer at various skating rinks!  I always said if they would have put their efforts into ice skating they could have been professionals or even in the Olympics.  Seriously! From back in the day, to now, Beto has grown into an amazing human being, becoming a Pastor, Counselor, Author and even served in the United States military as a Navy helicopter rescue swimmer.  The best part about him is that his character has never changed since I first met him.  His fun loving personality, sincere kindness for everyone he meets and his warm and handsome looks just make him easy to love....and truly everyone does.   I am so grateful that Beto shared his story with me to in turn share with all of you, the listeners of Amazing Grace Talk in hopes to bring clarity, value and peace to anyone who may be troubled about their identity or sexual identity."He is really stepping out in faith, walking in obedience to fill God's  nudge that  he has been feeling for many years." With the way society views sexuality, he felt it was his duty to share his story.  We pray that everyone who hears this message will listen with an open heart and allow God to speak to you through revelation, love and hope!From Beto:Think of a time in your life, a situation or string of events, where you had no idea how you would make it through or what the next step would be. You may be going through a trial at this time, as life is never a smooth journey.

Glenn and Susan were some of the 1st people my husband Erik and I met when we joined Trinity Church.   Erik and I had taken on a leadership role for greeters and first-time guests/VIPs and they came to the initial meeting and were extremely helpful and friendly.Since they had been members of Trinity for over 35 years at the time, we were appreciative of their love and support. It was later that I learned of Susan's battle with breast cancer.  We discussed them being on the show/podcast and so here we are!  This is a heartfelt journey that will touch your heart and soul and hopefully ignite your passion for Christ and faith in HIM.  A note from Glenn:Susie and I met three weeks before the prom our junior year in high school. I asked her to prom and we began dating. She started attending church with me and gave her life to Jesus in July. We dated all that summer and in January of our senior year, I proposed, Susie turned 18 in February, I turned 18 in May, we graduated June 3rd and we got married on July 18th at 2:30 in the afternoon and left at 6:30 that evening headed for Texas and have been here ever since. I graduated from CFNI in May of 1983 and became a career firefighter in 1985. We have three children, 2 daughters, and one son, and now have 5 grandchildren.In July of 2017, Susie was diagnosed with breast cancer. It started a year of chemo, surgery, more chemo, and radiation. Through it all, she had NOT ONE OUNCE OF NAUSEA OR VOMITING and we've never heard of anyone going through that like that. God blessed her mightily and used her to minister to others going through cancer during that time with her spirit and attitude. God spoke to me and her through it all with numerous words and miracles, financially and physically. #cancer # survivor #Trinitychurch Other helpful links:Amazing Grace RetreatsThe Road AdventureTrinity Church (Erika's home church)Blue Diamond Roofing & ConstructionIf you have enjoyed these podcasts and would like to support the show, click on the Patreon link below.Patreon MembershipIf you would like prayer or support you can reach out to Susan Lauth at befitforlife@att.net

Stephen's life became something he could never imagine as he chose to do the "right thing!" While at dinner with some friends he shared how he had witnessed some things at his work that seemed illegal.  Little did he know that he was speaking to another government employee.  At this point, he had no choice but to blow the whistle! If not he would be held accountable as they might have thought he was a part of it.  With no other choice, his existence became a life of secrecy, living under the radar, and falling into the pit of alcohol abuse, loneliness, and hopelessness!    Today after eight LONG years, Stephen has is now living and walking in victory.  He found peace through his Journey when he went back to his roots of being raised in the church as it showed to be a safe place of comfort and now, Stephen is finally FREE! My husband Erik and I have known Stephen since our high school days!  He worked for my husband's family company the "Oil X Change" as a Grease Monkey but one day after spilling a beer on a guy at Keller's Drive-in Dallas, TX. He got hired by Nortel and traveled all over the world and landed in DC. We are grateful for his friendship as he walks in sobriety and joy after a long 8 years of a terrible court case that finally ended this year.  If you would like help with a whistleblower case or just need a place to turn, please email me at erikaseamayer@gmail.com and I will put you in contact with him.  Thanks Erika :) Other helpful links:Amazing Grace RetreatsThe Road AdventureTrinity ChurchBlue Diamond Roofing & ConstructionThe Girl for That If you have enjoyed these podcasts and would like to support the show, click on the Patreon link below.Patreon MembershipBe sure to turn on your notifications for the Amazing Grace podcast on your preferred listening platform!

Imagine you meet the man or woman of your dreams.  You date for several months then decide to get married. Yet on your honeymoon you quickly realize something is terribly wrong...and the thought crosses your mind: "Did I make a huge mistake!" Host Erika Seamayer-Williamson invites Pastor Becky Hennesy into the studio to discuss the topic of marriage. Why do so many marriages struggle to get off the launch pad? Why do so many marriages (even within the Church) end in divorce? Although she's been married for nearly 42 years now, Becky and her husband Jim have had more than their share of trials...and pain so bad that Becky admits she actually hated Jim during the first few years of their marriage. Yet, they had to keep a front to the rest of the world because they served in pastoral ministry. The double life nearly destroyed their marriage yet the power of the Holy Spirit, divine intervention, and personal soul-searching led them to rebuild their marriage on a solid and loving foundation.  Today Jim and Becky are co-lead pastors at Trinity Church in Cedar Hill, Texas. Their marriage is now strong, healthy and happy...and both agreed years ago to let their marital struggles be an open book and serve as a cautionary tale for others.  Other helpful links:Amazing Grace RetreatsThe Road AdventureTrinity ChurchBlue Diamond Roofing & ConstructionThe Girl for ThatIf you have enjoyed these podcasts and would like to support the show, click on the Patreon link below.Patreon Membership

Ever met someone whose life story has so many twists and turns that it seems almost too incredible to believe? Barbara Walker would qualify to be in that exclusive club.Host Erika Seamayer-Williamson sits down with Barbara to talk all things about overcoming enormous challenges. They met several years ago at their church while serving/volunteering. It's clear Barbara, who spent years in law enforcement in the Illinois prison system, is a fighter and refuses to let obstacles arrest her faith.   One of Barbara's biggest challenges of learning how to lean on God's amazing grace has been in the area of parenting. After raising her own  five children, Barbara took custody of her six grandchildren after her 32-year-old daughter died of AIDS (contracted from her husband who was a download brother, as Barbara called it). During the entire ordeal, local football legend Deion Sanders heard about Barbara's story and provided incredible support for her family. This episode unpacks that divine appointment blessing for Barbara's life.Barbara currently serves as head of security at Trinity Church (Cedar Hill, Texas). She also is studying at a local seminary to prepare herself for full-time ministry.

This is part 2 of a conversation where host Erika  Seamayer-Williamson turns the mic around on her own podcast producer Rob Price as they discuss the details of God's amazing grace found in the blood covenant of Jesus Christ.Rob shared how he accepted Christ as his Savior at an early age...and was filled with the Holy Spirit as a teenager, yet it wasn't until his early 20s when his life took a radical shift. That transformation unfolded as he discovered the reality and the revelation of the blood covenant established by Jesus on the Cross.Some of the topics they discuss are over these two episodes are:1. the Hebrew definition of the word "covenant" and how it's connected to blood2. the amazing elements of an historical covenant and their parallel to what Jesus accomplished on the day of His crucifixion3. why the blood covenant revelation IS the Gospel message4. how to find covenant language/words hidden in plain sight in the Bible5. insights into the very DNA of God within the Trinity and how the Everlasting Covenant reveals that God doesn't just cut/make covenants, but that He IS covenant6. the Old Testament story of David/Jonathan/Mephibosheth that opened Rob's eyes to see and feel the blood covenant as the Gospel message7. why the marriage covenant (and sex) is so sacred in God's eyes8. how we can improve our witness and evangelism using the truths of the blood covenant9.  reasons why God will not violate our free will to accept or reject His blood covenantLinks to Rob Price's book and teachings on the blood covenant.The Blood Covenant (Amazon)The Blood Covenant (Barnes & Noble)The Blood Covenant (Christian Book)The Blood Covenant video teaching Pt1 (YouTube)The Blood Covenant video teaching Pt2 (YouTube)Other helpful links:Amazing Grace RetreatsThe Road AdventureTrinity Church (Erika's home church)Blue Diamond Roofing & ConstructionIf you have enjoyed these podcasts and would like to support the show, click on the Patreon link below.Patreon Membership

Donna Banks-Smith shares a sobering and honest conversation with host Erika Seamayer-Williamson about her personal struggle with crippling addictions. One surface, it appeared her primary vice was alcohol, but there was more...it was the empty social life and the pointless barhopping that added to her misery on "the morning after" each night out on the town. Driven to redirect her own life, one day Donna made a resolute decision at the core of her soul. She quit drinking. Cold turkey quit...But it still wasn't enough.Donna shares how her life began to truly turn towards deeper significance when she allowed God through Jesus Christ to take over her affections and desires. This conversation is intensely personal as Donna reveals that her life remains troubled by a lack of peace. This podcast shifts from an honest conversation to real-time counseling as Erika offers sound advice and serves as a safe sounding board for Donna's new budding faith in Jesus. Listeners will be inspired by Donna's courage and her open-book attitude toward finding God. Donna also shares a new passion to be an advocate for the elderly who are manipulated and abused by the medical health care system and hospitals across America.Other helpful links:Amazing Grace RetreatsThe Road AdventureTrinity ChurchBlue Diamond Roofing & ConstructionThe Girl for ThatIf you have enjoyed these podcasts and would like to support the show, click on the Patreon link below.Patreon MembershipBlue Diamond Roofing & Construction Commercial & Residential

Host Erika Seamayer-Williamson invites her adult daughter Erika Laine to share a traumatic event that took place when she was 21 years old and over 1,100 miles from home. Erika Laine was attending Black Hills State University just 15 miles away from Sturgis, South Dakota where she graduated high school a couple of years prior.   Her mother,  Erika married her 5th grade boyfriend Erik Williamson and had moved back to Texas where they are originally from.  It was Good Friday when Erika received the call that Erika Laine had actually had a Grand mal seizure at work and had been admitted to Spearfish Hospital. Can you even imaging the terror and emotions that would follow?  Especially since she had never had a seizure before.In this episode they discuss what happened next, from flying back to Dallas for the best treatment in neurology at UT Southwestern, to walking through her 3 embolization surgeries and the 11 hour brain surgery.  The blessings that continued to roll in through friends, and simply miracles beyond any explanation other than it being a "God thing!" and how Erika Laine's strong belief in her heavenly father and her faith made it look as if it were a walk in the park rather than a dramatic experience.

Alopecia. Sounds like a beach resort town or a fancy Italian dish. But as host Erika Seamayer-Williamson learns in this episode, alopecia is neither. Rather, it's a medical condition that occurs when the immune system attacks hair follicles, and may be brought on by severe stress.Imagine you're 15, captain of your high school drill team, with a beautiful head full of blonde wavy hair...and one day you discover you have alopecia. You're entire teenage world would be turned upside down.That's what happened to Ginny Baker, the featured guest on this episode of Amazing Grace Talk. Her discussion with Erika traces Ginny's life's journey through many doctor visits, medical treatments, self-image issues, public perceptions, wigs, hats, and how she handled hair returning then falling off again....numerous times throughout the last 15-20 years. With her loving mom by her side they did in fact find a treatment that worked and also found a makeup artist who was able to tattoo her eyebrows and eyeliner for her so that she could feel "normal" again and make getting ready in the morning easier and less stressful. Ginny has embraced this condition with grace and even humor. One of Ginny's favorite Bible verses is Luke 12:7 "Even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows." This episode will inspire listeners to never judge yourself or judge others by outward appearances....and to see the good that is often wrapped up in times of unexplainable trials.Other helpful links:Amazing Grace RetreatsThe Road AdventureTrinity ChurchThe Girl for ThatIf you have enjoyed these podcasts and would like to get involved in becoming a supporter of Amazing Grace Talk, please click the link below.Thank You

Host Erika Seamayer-Williamson invites her good friend and occasional co-host Robin Raetzman back into the studio. They discuss Erika's journey from being a strong believer in Jesus Christ, to walking into her destiny and true calling on her life. Moving back to Texas after finding peace and serenity living in the Black Hills of South Dakota wasn't easy, but it was a choice that was necessary. Their conversation unpacks how a working trip back to South Dakota led to Erika discovering a little book called The Prayer of Jabez that would change her life forever. Praying this simple prayer was one of the catalysts that launched Erika into several new avenues of ministry. Among them: the Amazing Grace Retreats, a book ministry, and a raindrop tech ministry. Erika also walks Robin through how God also whispered something to her that was the ultimate challenge. She felt the nudge from heaven to allow a revolutionary career change after 25 years in one industry...from make-up artist to full-time ministry.

Is it possible to forgive the corporate sin of other Christians who worship alongside you at church?At a church where you served for 15 years on the pastoral staff?...Even when you committed no discretion or moral failure?...In Amazing Grace Talk's first international interview, host Erika Seamayer-Williamson sits down with a very special couple who are transplanted Texans...from Brazil. The journey of Cyllas and Thais Marins from their home country to the Dallas area is a story that perfectly illustrates why the AGT podcast exists. It's painful but heartfelt trail that touches all the bases of amazing grace. Forgiveness. Reconciliation. Redemption.With endearing and winsome Brazilian accents, the Marins share their story of how God intervened in a big way, even moving them to the United States (with no working knowledge of English). Once in America, God also sent them back to a Bible college for more training. A few years before back in Brazil, the Marins were caught in the crossfire and aftermath of their lead pastor's moral failure. What made it so painful and personal was the fact their lead pastor was also Cyllas' own father. As Cyllas was left to pick up the pieces, things turned even worse. He and Thais were subject to unthinkable betrayal, devastating ridicule, and abandoned relationships from their own friends and church members. When sin is discovered in the camp, the collateral damage within the Body of Christ is often too difficult to overcome. But by God's amazing grace, the Marins overcame...and today they are flourishing in their new ministry at Trinity Church in Cedar Hill, Texas.
