Today we are joined by Pastor David Hawkins of Living the Word Church in Collinsville, Illinois. Pastor Hawkins was a guest speaker at The Crossing in Fenton a few months back and truly impressed me. He is extremely passionate about his faith and what the world wants in their spirituality. Excited to hear from all of you about the movement we are seeing in the world to bring God back to the table and how many no longer hide from their faith!

Monica welcomes Will Coleman of Chazown Church for a powerful and heartfelt conversation about faith—seen through a new lens. Will shares his unexpected journey, from never imagining himself as a pastor or returning to St. Louis, to learning how to truly turn it over to God, trust the process, and persevere.Together, they explore what faith looks like in real life—how we navigate belief, doubt, family dynamics, blended faiths, and relationships with non-believers. This is an open, honest, and inclusive conversation, and we invite YOU into the comments to share your own journey.Today’s conversation will inspire you to walk boldly in the path laid before you—and to believe, even when the destination isn’t clear.

Christine Rallo’s life changed in an instant when Guillain-Barré Syndrome left her completely paralyzed and fighting for her life. Doctors prepared her family for the worst, but Christine chose to fight — and that decision changed everything.In this powerful conversation, she shares her rare diagnosis, the terrifying rapid decline, months on a ventilator, and the long road through ICU, medevac transfers, and intensive rehabilitation. Most of all, she shares the mindset that carried her from total paralysis to walking out of the facility on her own.This is a story of courage, faith, grit, and the “little wins” that add up to miracles. Christine proves that when the odds say no, the human spirit says watch me.
