A tire shop bench and a few words of Spanish turn into a friendship that feels planned, and from there the conversation goes straight into the kind of faith questions most of us carry quietly: How do you know God is leading you? Why does obedience sometimes land you in a harder place? Hannah Croft, a wife and mom of three (four, two, and one), shares what it looked like to move states, live through home construction chaos, and still believe God is present when life feels unsettled.

We talk about the wilderness pattern we see in Scripture and in real life: God can set you free and still let you feel stretched. That stretch becomes the place where surrender gets practical, not theoretical. We explore sacrifice through the idea of “oblation,” a pouring out of something valuable as an act of trust, and we name the tension Christians face in a culture that celebrates self above refinement. Along the way, we unpack how to pray with honesty, how to ask God to show you His love, and how Scripture can steady anxious thoughts in a single moment.

Hannah also shares her testimony from college athletics: hearing a sermon on idolatry, realizing her identity was wrapped up in her hair, cutting it off as an act of surrender, and later giving her life to Christ at an FCA retreat. The conversation turns toward Christian motherhood too: grieving lost freedom, learning to guard your words, resisting the noise of social media, and finding quiet with God when the “best time” is actually the first ten minutes of nap time.

God sees you. Not just your plans and prayers, but the season you’re in right now: the messy living room, the tired mornings, the doubts you don’t say out loud. I’m joined by my granddaughter Peyton and our social media teammate Victoria for an honest, faith-filled conversation about what it looks like to trust God when life feels loud and uncertain.

We talk about the vision behind E's Greenhouse and why Christian community can’t be optional, especially for women who feel isolated in motherhood, marriage, or a new calling. You’ll hear practical ideas for building connection through prayer nights, Bible study, and simple touchpoints like newsletters, plus a clear challenge to stop going it alone and find friendships that strengthen your spirit with truth and grace.

We also walk through a hands-on exercise to name your gifts, talents, and soft skills, the ones God can grow even when you feel unqualified. From work-life balance as a work-from-home mom to the Proverbs 31 picture of wise priorities, we keep it real about seasons that move fast. And we go deep on marriage, spiritual leadership, and the long obedience of praying Scripture, while also naming an important boundary: safety matters, and abuse is never something to ignore.

If you’re craving encouragement, direction, and a reminder that nothing is wasted with God, press play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs community, and leave a review with one takeaway you’re going to put into practice this week.

A poem can carry what a person couldn’t say out loud for years. Mercy joins us from Uganda and shares how she went from fear, silence, and a painful childhood marked by hunger, abuse, and child labor to finding safety at Luluanda Children’s Home and building a life shaped by faith and purpose. Her journey is honest about trauma, but it’s even more honest about what steady love can do over time.

We talk about the real hurdles that don’t make it into highlight reels, like arriving with a language barrier so strong she couldn’t ask for help, and the slow work of learning trust. Mercy also shares how her faith grew through Sunday school, Bible teaching, and community, especially coming from a mostly Muslim family. Along the way she surprises herself with what becomes possible: university, teaching phonics, and using her voice as a writer.

Then Mercy reads her poem “My Untold Story,” and the room changes. It’s a clear, brave testimony of wounds becoming scars and scars becoming evidence of healing. We also get practical about calling and impact: Mercy’s dreams include equipping disadvantaged girls and young mothers with skills that can lead to income, stability, and renewed hope, plus showing up as a praying “big sister” for the younger kids.

If you care about Christian encouragement, trauma healing, orphan care in Uganda, and stories of redemption that feel real, you’ll want to listen all the way through.
