A New Year's Eve that changed everything. In this raw and deeply personal episode, I share the heartbreaking story of how my boyfriend and I—both backsliders from our faith—made plans to return to church on January 1st, 1993. We had it all mapped out: recommit to God, get married, build our lives together. But he never made it to that day.

The shocking 6 AM visit that brought news of his sudden death became my spiritual awakening. At just twenty-something years old, I learned the hardest lesson possible about the danger of postponing salvation. His funeral became the place where I recommitted my life to Christ—a second chance he never received.

This episode isn't meant to frighten you but to illuminate a truth we often ignore: tomorrow isn't guaranteed. When we say "I'll get right with God later," we're essentially playing God ourselves, assuming control over time that isn't ours to command. Romans 8:28 reminds us that God works all things for good for those who love Him—even our deepest pain can become part of our purpose.

Whether you've never known Christ or you've wandered away, don't fall for the enemy's lie that you have unlimited tomorrows. God's love and forgiveness are available today, regardless of how far you think you've strayed. No sin is too great for His mercy. I pray this episode serves as the gentle nudge you need to make your spiritual decisions today rather than postponing them to a tomorrow that may never come. Will you join me in prayer right now? Your eternal destiny is too important to put off until later.

I hope that in this episode, you will be reminded that ONLY God has control over time; we don't.

Fifty episodes! What a journey it's been—not always consistent, not always on schedule, but always guided by purpose and faith. This milestone episode brings heartfelt reflections on perseverance and the courage to keep showing up despite life's distractions.

When discouragement threatens to derail us, when "life is lifing" as they say, we often question whether our gifts still matter. The answer couldn't be clearer: they matter more than ever. God knew exactly what would be happening in this season before we did. The unexpected relationship endings, the closed doors, the disrupted plans—none of it surprised Him, and none of it diminishes the gifts He's placed within us. Others are waiting for your voice, your talent, your presence.

This episode serves as a gentle reminder that you can always start again. You've made mistakes, you've disappointed others, others have disappointed you—but these moments offer fresh opportunities to begin anew. God has given you a voice as a weapon for transformation, not harm. When you feel weighted down by life's burdens, surrender them to your heavenly Father who promises to turn mourning into dancing and give beauty for ashes. He is the God of second chances who knows exactly what He has placed inside you and how it needs to be birthed into the world.

Have you been feeling stuck or discouraged? Listen to this episode, then share it with someone who needs to be reminded that their setbacks are just setups for their comeback. And if there's a topic you'd like to hear discussed in future episodes, reach out—this community grows stronger with every voice.

Have you ever caught yourself saying something you believe, but not with the urgency it deserves? That's exactly what happened to me this birthday morning when I received a powerful spiritual wake-up call that left me shaken and convicted.

Through a dream featuring the simple yet profound refrain "God is coming again," the Holy Spirit revealed something uncomfortable: while I've been acknowledging the signs of Christ's return, I haven't truly been living with genuine belief in its urgency. This revelation hit me like a ton of bricks, leading to immediate repentance and a renewed mission to share this message with everyone who will listen.

The timing of this message feels divinely orchestrated. For years, I've encouraged listeners to use their God-given gifts through this podcast, reminding you that God can use anyone regardless of their past. But today's revelation adds a crucial dimension - the gift-giver is returning, and possibly sooner than we've allowed ourselves to believe. I share a powerful vision I received years ago, where I experienced what felt like my spirit ascending to heaven while my body remained behind. This encounter with God's presence left me with an overwhelming concern for unsaved loved ones and a mission that continues today.

Whether you're a devoted believer, someone who has walked away from faith, or someone who hasn't yet decided to follow Christ, this message is for you. Scripture tells us no one knows the day or hour of Christ's return, but we're called to live prepared. Today is the only day we have - so where will He find you when He comes? I invite you to take this message to heart and consider what it means for your life, your priorities, and your eternal destiny. Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it, and let's encourage each other to live with genuine expectation of His return.
