Ordinary People Extraordinary Things

Death & grief are not easy to talk about, but by not talking we may be missing an opportunity to show love to someone that desperately needs it in their time of loss.

Here’s a few questions we answer on this episode...

1. Is it true that time heals all wounds?
2. What did people say & do that were helpful and life-giving to you?
3. Do you like it when people talk about Bret?

You’ll hear these quotes and so much more from Darlene

• “Deep love comes with intense grief.”
• “If you set grief aside and don’t allow yourself to grieve - it doesn’t go away. You do have to walk through it.”

** Darlene was also a part of Episode #10: How “Ordinary People Extraordinary Things” Began

We all have a story, all of us, share your story. You don't have to have the perfect answer or the perfect life - share what Jesus is doing in your life. This is an easy, real way to witness & share your testimony.

Sunny's journey from the brink of suicide to becoming a missionary in America will leave you breathless. Born into a broken Hindu family in India, he witnessed his mother's crippling depression, his father's alcoholism and financial ruin, and his sister's suicide attempts – all before he turned 18.

When his mother finally left as she had long threatened, Sunny found himself on a rooftop ready to end his life. In that desperate moment, he made one last plea: "Jesus, if you are alive, save me and my family." What happened next defies explanation – his childhood friend, with whom he'd had no contact for six years, suddenly appeared, explaining he felt inexplicably compelled to find Sunny at that exact moment.

This divine appointment led to a 40-minute encounter with Jesus that completely transformed Sunny without changing any of his external circumstances. The depression, hatred, and hopelessness that had defined his existence vanished, replaced by supernatural joy. Even more remarkably, his entire family eventually came to Christ – his mother emerged from depression, his parents reconciled, and his sister and brother-in-law (from a high-caste Brahmin family) embraced faith.

By 23, Sunny had planted his first church, beginning a ministry that would grow to include multiple congregations across India and South Africa. Now, following a vivid dream where he saw America bleeding and Jesus calling for healing, Sunny has brought his ministry to Denver, Colorado – arriving with nothing but faith and a conviction that "the comfortable church is more at risk than the persecuted church."

Don't miss our 100th episode next week on Easter Sunday featuring a special conversation with my husband Chris, my brother, and my brother-in-law. Then in two weeks, Sunny returns to share more about his mission to bring spiritual revival to America.

Tom and Kathryn have turned their love for Christmas into a heartwarming ministry that lights up not just their home but the entire community. Over eighteen years, their festive display has grown into a spectacle spanning two acres with half a million lights. Initially a personal venture, it quickly became a beloved community tradition, offering joy when it was needed most, like during the pandemic. They share how their creative endeavor continues to evolve, capturing the essence of the Christmas spirit and the pure joy it brings to countless visitors.

What started with a few simple twinkles has blossomed into a grand charitable initiative. The pandemic inspired Tom and Kathryn to harness the goodwill of their visitors for a greater cause—supporting local food banks. Each year, this effort yields thousands of pounds of food and significant cash donations, underscoring the powerful impact of community generosity. Their story highlights the seamless blend of holiday cheer and heartfelt giving, demonstrating how even the smallest donations contribute to a larger mission of support and faith.

Beyond the lights and donations lies a deeper message about human connection and kindness. Tom and Kathryn’s journey shows how sharing your passions can touch lives in unexpected ways. Their story reminds us that joy, gratitude, time, and the power of a simple smile can transform lives. Join us in this celebration of creativity, community, and the enduring spirit of kindness, as we discover the many ways we can bless others this Christmas season.

Diana brings it in this podcast - here is a little of what you’ll hear...

🏃‍♀️”If God is clearly telling me to do something, I’m going to take that step of faith.”

🎁”What are you gifted in? What are our strengths? What is your passion? How can you use it for God’s glory & what’s the next step?”

🟢”We think we have to have it all figured out - well if we have it all figured out - what glory is that to God?”

🚦”Go make a move! I dare you! Go make a move!”

🏃‍♀️”When we follow Jesus there is a true call to follow Him. There’s also a cost- people don’t want to talk about that as much, but there is a necessity to lay down things that no longer serve us.”

🗣”We’ve got to get serious about learning the voice of God.”

🚦”Let’s go! Stop waiting for other people to do it - let’s go!”

🌎 “We have a hurting world that is ready for people to love on them.”

🗣”God’s voice is never going to take us to our own comfort and ease. God’s voice is always going to stretch us.”

🏃‍♀️”In Jewish tradition to hear something is not simply to listen, mull it over in your head, and see what happens - to hear the voice of God & be impacted doesn’t happen until it’s walked out.”

🏃‍♀️”What do you need to do in order to walk it out? It comes true as you’re doing it - not as you’re thinking about it.”

❤️”Do something & learn more about who our God is.”
