God is Writing Your Child's Story - A Mother's Reflection on Her Son's Dyslexia Journey : Julie Tapscott’s Story [Episode 375] Nearly 20% of school-aged children in the U.S. are affected by dyslexia, making it the most common learning disability—yet for many families, the journey can feel overwhelming and isolating. In today’s episode, Julie Tapscott, who shared at our Vestavia, Alabama gathering, opens up about her son’s dyslexia diagnosis and the path that followed. With a mother’s determination and deep faith, Julie pursued understanding, learned how to advocate within the school system, and discovered practical ways to support her son’s unique needs. If you or someone you love is walking this road (or any other learning difficulty with their child), this episode offers encouragement, practical wisdom, and a reminder that you are not alone—God is present, He is at work, and He is writing your child’s story. VERSE OF THE WEEK: For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb… Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. - Psalm 138:13;16 CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: God created you and your child uniquely.

Dismantling My Pride :: Emma Flaugher’s Story [Episode 371] 04/08/2026

Dismantling My Pride :: Emma Flaugher’s Story [Episode 371] Pride is often subtle, yet it quietly shapes what we love, pursue, and depend on. In today’s episode, Emma Flaugher—who shared her story at our Charleston Live Gathering—speaks honestly about a lifelong struggle with pride and her deep desire for approval and applause. What began as faithful ministry leadership slowly became a place where the Lord exposed her craving for recognition and her tendency to find worth in the affirmation of others. With humility, Emma shares how God, in His kindness, began to dismantle her self-reliance and redirect her heart. This is a story about conviction that leads to freedom—freedom from performing for people, freedom to embrace her limitations, and freedom to rest in God’s approval alone. If you’ve ever wrestled with needing to be seen, valued, or applauded, Emma’s story will gently point you back to the steady grace of a God who lovingly reshapes our hearts. VERSE OF THE WEEK: Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24 CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: This week reflect on areas of pride in your life. What are you seeking when pride sneaks in? Affirmation? Value? Approval? intentionally shift your focus off yourself, acknowledge your limitations, and trust God. _________________________________________________________ Listen to this song from Listen to a similar story: Download a phone background of the weekly verse ! in honor of Emma! being offered online on April 21st. to access new stories straight from our live gatherings around the country!

In today’s episode, our storyteller reminds us what it looks like to keep praying, even when God feels silent. Leslie Hedge, who shared her story with our community group in Fairhope, Alabama, watched her son struggle socially through his adolescent years. Her heart broke when he eventually walked away from his faith and declared himself an atheist. That heartbreak turned into fear and panic when an unexpected health crisis suddenly put his life at risk. Yet, as Leslie witnessed God working in miraculous, behind-the-scenes ways to save her son’s life, her hope was renewed. She became confident that the same God who preserved his life would one day restore his heart. Listen in as Leslie shares the powerful ways God brought healing, redemption, and hope back into her son’s story. VERSE OF THE WEEK: “Now to him who can do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” Ephesians 3:20 CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: Is there an area of your life where you feel God is silent in your prayers?

Along the way, she also experienced the heartbreak of two miscarriages. Through it all, Lauren has seen how God brings beauty from hard places.

The God Who Heals Completely: Erin Hindman’s Story :: [Ep. 362] This week is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week. In honor of the nearly 30 million people in the United States affected by eating disorders, we’re sharing a powerful story of hope, healing, and redemption in Jesus. In today’s podcast, Erin Hindman from our Tulsa, Oklahoma community vulnerably opens up about her long battle with anorexia—a struggle she once believed would always leave its mark. She describes living in the “smoke” long after the fire had burned, unsure if true freedom was even possible. But as you’ll hear, God met Erin in the depths of her pain, revealing His limitless power to heal, restore, and make all things new. Erin’s story is a beautiful reminder that no brokenness is beyond the reach of Jesus, and that lasting freedom is found in Him alone. VERSE OF THE WEEK: “… they saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them.” Daniel 3:27 CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: Are you carrying around the “smoke” of past fires you’ve walked through? Today, find freedom, life, and new beginnings knowing you are washed clean by Jesus. ________________________________________________ Listen to a similar story: ; Download a phone background of the weekly verse ! in honor of Erin and any of our past storytellers! to access more stories straight from our live gatherings around the country!
