Stories are powerful. Your past can help someone's future. In this message,  Brian Hill shares his story of experiencing God, of hearing from God, and of growing closer to Him.There is a difference between singing songs to God and worship. Brian shares how the teachings and courses at VFC led Him to a deeper relationship with Jesus. 1) Have a personal relationship with God. 2) Get good teaching that is based on scripture. 3) Prayer and reading the Bible go together. 4) Practice Fellowship Christianity is a team sport. If anyone says he loves God and hates a fellow believer, that person is a liar. How can you love God who you haven't seen and not love your fellow believer whom you have seen.Brian shares about the loss of family members and how the church family, the body of Christ, ministered to him and his wife, Gloria. Giving matters. Give of your time and your service. What is your story?  How is God working in your life? Do you recognize God's faithfulness in your life?

Has anyone in your life ever experienced a big loss? What did you say to them? Did you struggle to find the right words? Did you give them the space to speak about their loved one?   Did you just give up and distance yourself from them?   Today we talk with Colin Campbell, a writer and director for theater and film whose short film was nominated for an Academy Award. Colin and his wife Gail have experienced the deepest form of loss – the death of their children, Ruby and Hart. His new book, “Finding the Words”, explores his grief journey after their tragic deaths.   Listen in to hear their story, how to even start coping with this kind of loss, the importance of community and rituals in grief, and why it's so important to find the words to keep speaking about those who have passed.  Topics We Discuss:   [1:45] Amy's experience with Colin's work. Colin's book brought her to tears in an airport despite her background working with grief. Many of us are afraid of pain and avoid it, although it is sometimes mixed with joy.   [5:09] Colin's late children, Ruby and Hart. They were kind, magnetic children - the lives of the party. Hart was a clown as Colin calls him and often embodied different “characters” when joking with his friends. Ruby was an artist, book lover, and advocate for others.     [11:20] What happened to Ruby and Hart? Colin and his family were hit by a drunk and high driver going 40 over the speed limit, and the children passed in the back seat. He and his wife were devastated with grief.   [13:12] The process of grief. Colin worked with grief groups, his rabbi, and his community to embrace the grief and push through the loss. Taking action from his grief kept him going, sitting in the sadness was overwhelming. He tries to stay connected with the kids.   [16:00] First step to dealing with losing your children. Dealing with denial is an early step, if not the first to healing. It's incredibly difficult to accept the fact that your children are really gone.   [19:00] Colin leaned on his wife's Jewish traditions for grief and loss support. The community support was critical to his process.   [22:27] What happens after the rituals end? Jewish culture says to commemorate the end, so Colin and his wife, Gail, had a ceremony with family and friends. This is a practice they continue to lean on.   [25:12] Navigating holidays after loss. Holidays are a reminder of the loss and can be challenging. Colin has found that leaning into the pain and honoring your loved ones helped.   [26:43] Grief and marriage. Some couples isolate from each other and struggle after losing children; however, the rate of divorce is lower in couples who have experienced loss than the national average. Colin and Gail actively grieved together and found support in each other.   [29:21] Pain, suffering, despair and moving through. Pain is the inescapable feeling of hurt that comes from loss. It needs to be felt. Suffering is the unhealthy expression of pain. Guilt and regret lead to suffering. Despair is overwhelming hopelessness - if you are suicidal you need to seek help. Rituals, community, talking about the dead and the pain, and taking action to connect with life and others are ways through.   [36:53] Educating others. Colin and Gail wrote letters to the people around them to help them understand how to support them. It can feel awkward and takes a lot of courage. People appreciated being told what to say and do to help. Acknowledging the loss helps those grieving feel less alone.   [43:47] What to say to people who are grieving. “There are no words” isn't an accurate statement about loss. Ruby and Hart's friends' words were impactful because they were simply expressions of love and loss. “Comforting words” often minimize the pain. Giving people space to tell stories about the dead is the greatest gift you can give them.   [47:55] Colin's afterlife beliefs. He's seen the kids in his dreams. He believes they live on inside of him and Gail. He sometimes thinks they might be sending him signs, but he warns against relying on signs too much. The afterlife can sometimes be used as a way to avoid feeling the hurt now because of a hope of reuniting later.   [52:40] Colin's experience fostering. It was originally Ruby's idea. Their foster daughter eventually decided she didn't want to be part of the family because she was afraid of being close with Colin and Gail. They are now fostering to adopt two siblings, a boy and a girl. It's a tough road because foster children have lived a life of trauma and loss.   [59:32] Colin's book. “Finding the Words” is a great resource for those who are grieving. Amy shares a quote from the book. ***********************************************   SUPPORT DR.

As a parent, how would you respond when told that your young son had severe hearing loss along with other symptoms eliminating his quality of life? When Jeff Seitzer was younger, he thought he was struck with bad luck. He had encephalitis at age four leaving him with major residual effects. At ten years old he was in an accident that left him partially disabled and as a teenager was diagnosed with a congenital nerve disease that put him into leg braces. Did it stop there? No. His son was born with major internal organ defects and severe hearing loss and was tragically killed in an accident.  Later in life, he began to see how responding to such life challenges helped him grow as a person. Hyperactivity from encephalitis prompted him to be very active, which made him prone to depression. The mental and physical disciplines I developed in response to encephalitis and the degenerative condition helped him not only achieve a lot personally and professionally but made him an effective caregiver for his son's special needs. As a caregiver and stay-at-home dad, Jeff learned how to put others' needs ahead of his own. Accounts of Jeff's on-the-job training as a caregiver and stay-at-home dad have appeared in the Omaha World-Herald, Adoptive Families Magazine, and many others. As an award-winning teacher, he has authored a number of books on law and philosophy and now teaches at Roosevelt and Loyola Universities. His interview is compelling, heart-warming (and heart-wrenching), and encouraging for anyone who has been a caregiver.   "Our son Ethan and I shared a special moment just before he underwent emergency surgery as a newborn. Standing at his bedside, feeling helpless, I prattled on about some issue in German philosophy while he held one of my fingers tightly in his only free hand.   When someone arrived to conduct a preoperative test on his heart, I stepped out for a moment but was called back almost immediately. Ethan had become so agitated, they could not continue. He calmed right down again when I placed my finger in his wee hand and resumed my monologue. At that moment, I felt like he had chosen me to take care of him. I will be forever grateful to him that in my hour of need, he chose me." Compassionate new memoir proves kids are our best teachers Stay-at-home dad shares the powerful story of how his special needs son changed his outlook on life – for the better A self-involved academic struggling to cope with his own neurological problems, Jeff could hardly take care of himself, let alone a child with special needs, when his son, Ethan, was born. But despite multiple surgeries, hospitalizations, serious breathing and swallowing problems, hearing loss, and a challenging social environment in his first months of life, Ethan thrived—all the while teaching Jeff to take things as they came. And eight years later, the arrival from China of adopted baby sister Penelope took Jeff's on-the-job training to a whole new level. Ethan's instinct for fun proved the perfect complement to Jeff's determination to live life fully. He died too young, but not before he, Penelope, and their mother, Janet, taught Jeff that the true path to happiness was putting other people's needs before his own—and living in the moment rather than trying to control it. “About coping, self-sacrifice, and loss, The Fun Master is a moving memoir by a father who was transformed by his love for his child” –Foreword Clarion Reviews

They live inChesapeake, VA with their 2 boys, Landon (15), Jack (12), and their golden doodle, Rosie. They also have a parrot and a turtle, so the house feels a bit like a zoo sometimes.

Have you had to survive staggering loss in your life? Robin Cote is a widow who also lost her young daughter but taught herself how to heal in spite of life's sometimes-ugly dealings. Robin is a survivor, not only of loss but also of domestic violence, verbal and emotional abuse, rape and bullying. She is an outspoken advocate for victims. Through all she has endured, "VICTIM" will never be a word use to describe Robin. Her journey started when she was raped as a teenager. Robin's father didn't believe her and wouldn't call the cops. He said she deserved it because she had a sip of beer (which had been drugged) and her mother didn't comfort her. From that point on, she KNEW she was on her own. Robin Cote is a radio and show business personality, author, transformational coach and motivational speaker with a no-nonsense attitude. Robin’s story, “Victim No More!” is her personal journey through the morass of abuse and loss, ultimately revealing her own self-worth, preservation, and accountability. It's Up To You....To Have A Better Life This message rings true not only in the pages of her book but in her daily life. Robin is a living kidney donor, a loving mom, an award-winning writer, and honored member of the Arizona independent film and music community. She currently works as a Podcast Producer for Star Worldwide Networks and hosts her own podcast, Get Real with Robin.   It's not what happens to us but what we do with it that makes all the difference.   I guarantee that Robin's story of perseverance, tenacity and getting REAL may possibly shock you but.......for those who have been victims of any abuse will be encouraged, motivated and challenged. Robin shares that no matter what we go through in life, we have to learn to pick ourselves up and persevere. She shares HOW to do that:

Letisha Galloway shares the story of her beginnings: born with a deformity; faced abandonment, rejection, domestic abuse and the loss of her infant son. She shares in depth of how she overcame through dedicating her life back to God and how she's using her experience to help others avoid domestic abuse.

Today on the Thriving Beyond Belief podcast, Alli Worthington! Alli is like many of us – a woman following her calling in ministry, work, and family – who found herself at a spiritual crossroads. God called her into something new, but she wasn’t sure she was strong enough to say yes. Standing Strong delivers a wealth of practical tips and Godly wisdom that will leave you encouraged to follow the dream God has planted in your heart. You are enough” is a well-intentioned, encouraging message preached to overwhelmed, burnt-out women. Bestselling author Alli Worthington used to be one of them, but when faced with adversity, found herself searching for more. Being enough was no longer enough. In her new book Standing Strong: A Woman’s Guide to Overcoming Adversity and Living with Confidence (Zondervan, September 2020), Alli encourages women to draw strength from their God-given identities, to overcome the obstacles that keep them from reaching their full potential and living out their dreams, and to walk confidently in the direction of their calling. With God, they are more than enough. “God has made you strong, with the ability to survive anything that comes your way,” writes Alli. “Even when you feel weak and overwhelmed, you’re stronger thank you think. There is a strength within you that passes human understanding.” Alli found herself at a spiritual crossroads—the Lord was calling her to step away from her comfort zone and into something new, but she wasn’t sure she was strong enough to say yes. What if everything fell apart? Why should she have to leave something she loved? Alli is available for interviews and can speak to: A life-changing partnership: saying “yes & Amen” to God How to break through the 6 common roadblocks that hold women back Why self-empowerment can be just as crippling as self-doubt What you need to know about your inner critic The surprising secret to confidence What to do when you feel unsupported in achieving your goals How to become unshakable in the face of adversity The 5-Second Secret to push past self-doubt 6 keys to stepping into the future with strength “Your calling won’t look like anyone else’s, ever.

Today on the Thriving Beyond Belief podcast, Dawn Barton! Dawn Barton has endured more pain and heartache in her lifetime than Hallmark can fit into a single movie: the loss of a child, divorce, cancer, rape, near-death of her mother from a brain aneurism, the death of her only sibling, and her husband’s substance abuse. But because she experienced such incredible pain, she also knows incredible joy… so much so, this sassy southerner refers to herself as a "Joyologist.” In her new book, Laughing Through the Ugly Cry:… and Finding Unstoppable Joy, Dawn shares her powerful journey to find hope, joy, and laughter in the midst of even the most unfathomable circumstances. And though her trials were heavy, her words are light—laced with the humor and perspective that keep you laughing, no matter what. “Even in the face of all the things you can’t control – the announcements, the diagnosis, the calls you hoped you’d never get – there’s something you do get to control,” writes Dawn. “Choose to look for joy in the small spaces between fear and confusion, and make that the moral of your story.” Dawn knows the adversity she’s experienced has enabled her to experience joy in a more profound and vibrant way. Laughing Through the Ugly Cry is a beautiful book that will encourage anyone facing difficulty to do so with humor and faith, and to mindfully seek joy no matter how bleak circumstances may appear. “Finding joy in your life does not mean you walk around in a perpetual state of skipping and laughing. It doesn’t mean you are grinning and waving to every single passerby, although that would be fun. It means when you are sitting in the pain, you can take a deep breath and smile because you have one more breath to live.”

Christina Levasheff had a beautiful and simple life with her husband, young son, and infant daughter.  When her 29 month old son, Judson, began to show some atypical physical symptoms, Christina and her husband began the process of seeking medical attention to discover what was going on.  After some incorrect diagnoses, Judson was ultimately diagnosed with Krabbe Leukodystrophy Disease, a genetic disease that destroys the white matter in the brain.  In just five months, the Levasheffs watched their bright and active two year old lose vision, speech, and all body movements to eventual death.  Throughout the short but intense suffering, Judson retained his mental functioning and joy.  As with all the stories told through Tears of Gold, this is a story of suffering and heartache, but it is also a story of how God met Christina in her pain.  It is a story of how the compassionate Lord gathered her in His arms and comforted her in ways only the good Father can.  And how God has taken that pain and transformed it into a ministry of hope to walk alongside others in their pain.  Christina and her husband, Drake, and their daughter, Jessie use Judson's Legacy to bless the children and families walking a similar journey they did.  I pray you'll be blessed as you hear Christina's sharing in this episode.

In her book I’ll Meet You at the Base of the Mountain, Donna Visocky candidly shares – often with brutal honesty — the most intimate moments of her inner and outer struggle to rebuild her life after the loss of her child. Motivated by guidance she receives from Kristi on the other side, and a compelling, but puzzling directive: “I’ll meet you at the base of the mountain,” Donna begins a soul’s journey to find meaning and hope in the midst of tragedy.

I know from the title this sounds like a major downer of an episode, but I assure you it's not.  Joel and Samantha Brandt have walked through heartache few of us know but their hope, faith, and joy overflow in our conversation together.  When pregnant with their first child, Joel and Samantha learned at the anatomy scan that their daughter was diagnosed with Trisomy 18.  Delivered at 38 weeks after her heart stopped beating, the Brandts held Reagan for the first and last time.  Grieving their loss while hoping to still add to their family, Joel and Samantha tried to get pregnant again for a year and, for still unknown reasons, were not able to conceive.   They turned to the adoption process to help create their family and were excited to bring home son, Tucker Cole, in early January 2017.  In this podcast, you'll hear from both Joel and Samantha as they share their story of loss and hope.  And you'll hear little Tucker chime in at one point!  Their waiting arms are now filled with a gift from the Lord.     Resources mentioned: Book: You'll Get Through This by Max Lucado

Meet Donna Mebane, author of Tomorrow Comes! The worst nightmare – and the worst wound – for any parent is the loss of a child. Such a loss cuts to the core of one’s spirit and soul. But that painful experience sometimes opens our senses to mere inklings as well as clear indicators that there is an energy of life that survives mortal death. Such was Donna Mebane's experience. Tomorrow Comes, in a three-book series that imagines Emma's life on that other plane. www.starshinegalaxy.comThis show is broadcast live on W4CY Radio (www.w4cy.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (http://www.talk4radio.com/) on the Talk 4 Media Network (http://www.talk4media.com/).

What she learned and how she has manifested it is a fascinating look at how we choose to move forward in life – and what just might happen when we do. www.starshinegalaxy.comThis show is broadcast live on W4CY Radio – (www.w4cy.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (http://www.talk4radio.com/) on the Talk 4 Media Network (http://www.talk4media.com/).

January Jones - Loss of A Child Donna Mebane grew up wanting to be two things: a mother and a writer. She first became a mom and then a writer after the death of her youngest child, Emma. While Donna has had numerous writing experiences over the years, she became a published author after she wrote Tomorrow Comes as a way of envisioning a future for her 19-year-old daughter who went to sleep one night and never woke up.  She calls Tomorrow Comes a work of “reality fiction” because it captures the reality of grief that family and friends endured after Emma died at the same time that it creates an enchanting fictional world of AFTER.
