Special Episode: Cheryl Mendes-Ellis: Love After Losing a Spouse
Oh My God Pod - The Podcast
As a former Navy Sailor, Cheryl was a tough, strong person who loved her work, but when her husband died unexpectedly her tough exterior was shattered. She became absorbed in her work as a way to forget her pain and distanced herself from everybody until she realized she needed Jesus to move on. She had always known Jesus but after her loss, she experienced his deeper love. The intimacy that God was giving her allowed her to see the new doors that He was opening for her calling. She now thrives in the love of Jesus and shares it with others through all of her ministries.

Oh My God Pod - The Podcast
The metaphor of planting and harvesting is one many are familiar with - seeds are sown, tended to and eventually a harvest is produced.

Oh My God Pod - The Podcast

Hear how God “winked” at Pete through several key events in his life to increase & deepen his faith. Pete reminds us that when we live wide awake, we can see that God still orchestrates things in our lives that will renew our faith, just as He has through the centuries and recorded in the Bible.
