What would you do if God told you to go give a speech to the ruler of a nation, but you had a stutter problem? What if He asked you to challenge the number one UFC heavyweight contender, who is 9 feet tall; and you're a kid? What if He asked you to sacrifice your son?
There are so many bible stories that showcase characters up against incredible odds having to take huge steps of faith; and God always rewards your trust in Him. In this episode we share moments in our life where we went on faith and trusted God, and the fruit it bared afterwards.

This episode is super special to us. Our brother and sister Luis and Liz Talavera join us to share their story and testimony, from how they met and grew/developed their family to literally facing death and beating COVID-19. God allows you to experience different seasons in life, all for good. Sometimes it doesn't feel that way especially if it's a particularly harsh winter per-se, but nonetheless His purpose is for your benefit and blessing in the end.
Tune in, grab some tissues, and open your heart... this is a message you DO. NOT. WANT. TO MISS.
