We all face storms — bills piling up, relationships stretched thin, health struggles, and moments when faith feels fragile. But Hebrews 6:19 reminds us that “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.”

In this episode, Adam Swedenburg shares: Why biblical hope is different from wishful thinkin, how Paul, Peter, and Abraham stayed anchored in God through storms, three anchors you can hold onto today: God’s promises, God’s presence, and God’s people, and a personal story of walking through overwhelming seasons of ministry, family struggles, and health battles — and how God’s Word became an anchor in the middle of it all

Challenge of the Week: Pick one anchor and put it into practice when the waves rise.

Hope doesn’t remove the storm — but it keeps you standing through it.

In this powerful and deeply moving episode, I sit down with Bambi Lynn—life coach, motivational speaker, blogger, and two-time published author (soon to be three!). Bambi shares her incredible testimony of transformation, beginning in 1987 when, just days after nearly ending her life by jumping off a bridge, she gave her heart to Jesus.

We talk about the life-saving moment when a passing police officer intervened, the shocking discovery she made in the psych hospital, and how pregnancy at 16 marked the beginning of a new chapter. From trauma and suicidal thoughts to forgiveness, healing, and hope, Bambi reveals how God turned her ashes into beauty—just like Isaiah 61 promises.

She shares how a literal pressure cooker explosion and the painful recovery parallels our spiritual renewal: God strips away the old so He can bring healing and new life. We explore the importance of forgiving ourselves and others, understanding salvation, and embracing the truth that God has a plan for every storm we face.

This episode is a raw, redemptive journey through pain, purpose, and the power of God’s grace.
