Hey friends,

Today’s episode is a bit different.

But it’s one that we sensed God leading us to do regardless.

If you’ve been following our journey for a while, you know that we typically do episodes that are on everyday life topics relevant to many of us.

But in today’s episode, we felt led to highlight a specific community, and what they’ve been going through, from the perspective of those who are part of it (not just a news source, headline, or quick social media reel) — and ultimately we trust that God will use it to speak to whoever listens in the ways he knows is best.

We pray that it blesses you. ❤️ 

How can we navigate tragedy with both grief and hope?

In this special episode, we sit down with house church pastors (and first-ever couple on the podcast) Jared and Candace Madamba, as they share their personal experiences of the Maui fires and how they've been processing everything going on - but also the opportunities and signs of hope they see, even amidst the heaviness of tragedy.

Whether you're looking for ways to help those affected by the Maui fires, or simply want to be inspired by real-life examples of how to find hope and redemption in the midst of darkness, we invite you to join us for this candid conversation as we explore the unshakable power of faith and the Ohana spirit that we're called to embody anywhere we are in the world.
