  • Ep. 123 - Too Proud to Be Healed (2 Kings 5) ft. Shannon Popkin, Rod VanSolkema, Libby VanSolkema, Tryg Veker
    Aug 21 2025

    We sit down with Shannon Popkin again as we dive into the story of Naaman from 2 Kings 5—a powerful commander whose greatness couldn’t hide his deeper sickness of pride. Though Naaman wore the garments of success, his leprosy exposed his weakness and need. Redemption came not through his strength, but through the faith of a powerless slave girl and God’s simple call to humility. Behind it all, God’s sovereign hand used suffering to bring healing and salvation. This story ultimately points us to Christ, the true suffering servant, who entered the ultimate Jordan of death to make us whole.

  • Ep. 122 - Tenacious Faith in the Face of Death (2 Kings 4) ft. Ryan Conners, Brianna Conners, Erik Veker, Tryg Veker
    Aug 13 2025

    We sit down with Ryan and Bri Conners as we journey through the story of the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4 — a story that moves from the heartbreak of hope, to the distress of death, to the relentless fight for life. We sat down with Ryan and Bri to talk about the wrestle of their faith through Ryan’s brain cancer journey, and how their story echoes the defiant hope we see in Scripture. Along the way, we wrestle with the reality that God doesn’t always resurrect now — and discover why that’s not a cause for despair, but a call to deeper faith.
