73 | Experiencing PEACE In the midst of PAIN: A Testimony of God's Power & Presence

In this episode, Pam and Lily Parker join us at the table to share a powerful testimony of God's PEACE & PRESENCE in their lives, in the midst of pain.  Pam's story is one of trauma, a near death experience, and a long journey towards healing --but also one of beauty and an undesribeable PEACE that comes by knowing and walking with the LORD. He is truly a good and loving Father. Together, Pam and Lily walk us through the physical, mental, and neurological struggles caused by trauma -- while also encouraging us, laughing until they cry at times, and pointing us towards the promises of God! What a blessing and picture of beautiful "WARRIORS" they both are!
We pray you see God in their story, and are drawn closer to HIM in yours!
Please join us by praying for Pam this Friday as she undergoes another surgery on her foot.
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."  Isaiah 41:10 
 

72 | A Ride To Remember

In this episode, we are joined by Jacob Shamblin, Noah Schubert, and Ryan Wright, who not only “walk” the walk of faith with us but who have been on an extraordinary “ride” spanning 600 miles up the Southeastern Coast. We wanted to follow up on the FCA ride these guys embarked on and try to understand their “why” and get a glimpse into what life was like as they pedaled for 6 days. The ride was called the n600, which stands for North 600. They biked from Jupiter, Florida, to Charleston, South Carolina.  
Ride along with us as Jacob, Noah, and Ryan share the answers to these questions and why a relationship with Jesus Christ is the best ride of their lives.
 
2 Corinthians 12:9 says, “But he said to me, ‘ My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness’. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”

71 | Ready • Reset • Let's Go!

In this episode, Jacob Shamblin (Kelley's oldest son) returns to the table with Will Macurda (Kelley's son in law). They share how God is at work and growing them in their faith as young adults. They continue to stand in awe and amazement of God's faithfulness. These two young men love the Lord, and their personal walks with Him are not only evident, but impacting others that God chooses to place on their paths. Even though they are in different stages of life regarding vocation, family, and ministry - it is so clear they are right where God has called them to BE in this season! We are so proud of them, and we pray you are encouraged by their testimonies!

Happy New Year & Keep Walking

70 | Happy New Year - Keep Walking!

As we step into a New Year, we want to encourage you to stay focused on God's Word. In this episode we walk through the ABC's of some of our favorite scriptures! We were reminded recently that you can't be anxious and grateful at the same time. When you begin to recognize an anxious thought creeping into your mind, and you choose to take that thought captive and replace it with gratitude for who God is - WOW!  That is the beginning of Freedom.  Freedom that is available in your heart, mind, and soul! This is what we know as Freedom in Christ! Happy New Year friends! Keep Walking!

69 | The Greatest Gift of ALL

In this episode, Jason and Jen Goins join us at the table to share encouragement and wisdom they have gained from 21 years of marriage- through both struggle and celebration. They have spent years coaching couples, studying God's Word, and researching the best Christian marriage and family resources. They’ve taught their clients how to deeply connect with their spouses, come alive in their Christian walks, understand their purposes and identities, communicate with grace and love, build on their differences, and function as a winning team!

68 | RESTING in the Hope & Joy of JESUS

In this episode our sweet friend Hannah Johnson encouraged us to walk in wisdom by learning to rest and honor the Sabbath as we intentionally allow the Holy Spirit to fill us up so that we can keep walking through every season. 
Romans 15:13 says, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
This Christmas we pray you take every opportunity to smile, extend a kind word, or engage in a genuine gesture that could be the difference in life and death for those walking alone during this season. Let’s not miss the opportunities God puts before us.
Merry Christmas! Keep Walking!

67 | Walking in Wisdom: God's Gift of Peace

In this episode our friend Josh Cutler joins us at the table to share personal testimony of healing and presence of God's PEACE, that has beautifully been woven in and through his own story. Josh has experienced FREEDOM in the area of chronic pain relating to lyme disease, depression, and mental health --  and through changing his diet, mind set, and ongoing spiritual growth --he believes that others can experience these same results as they apply changes to their lives. As a basketball coach and basketball enthusiast, Josh knows that the game of basketball has and will,  continue to be used as a powerful tool to draw others towards a personal relationship with Christ is ways only GOD can do.  We pray you are encouraged and inspired in your personal walk as you seek to walk more closely to HIM in mind, body, and soul. 
We are are so glad you’re here and it is our goal to inspire and encourage you to keep walking in all the seasons of your life. We know that looks different for each person and each of you is walking through a circumstance or situation that we have no idea about, but we just want to remind you that God knows all about it. HE sees you and loves you and He wants to be a part of everything you are walking through. As we continue to celebrate the birth of our Savior, we also anticipate His return. We hope you will take some time to reflect on the peace that Jesus brings. It’s so different from what the world offers.  In fact Jesus tells in John 14:27: 
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
We think you will agree that our guest is a living testimony of this truth. In the face of trial and suffering, can we still experience the peace that Christ gives us! We say yes! Let’s keep walking!
Merry Christmas!

66 | Walking in Wisdom: A Message of Hope

In this episode Greg Smith joins us at the table to share a Message of Hope - that can be found and experienced TODAY through a relationship with Christ. As we prepare our hearts and homes for Christmas this year, we want to invite you to slow down, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, and keep Christ as the center of everything you do. He loves you and wants to be a part of every area of your life.
As we seek to love and honor God through our lives, He generously pours out wisdom through His Word, and through others. Greg shares some great nuggets of truth found in 1 Thessalonians 4 and 5.
"Aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one." (4:11-12)
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (5:16-18)
We invite you to join us, in lighting a candle this week of Advent, to represent the HOPE of Christ! We would love to see your wreaths and candles. Please share how you incorporate Advent into your Christmas festivities. You can find us on facebook or instagram @walkingwithKelleyandKristy
 

65 | Holy Spirit Deal With Me

In this episode, our friend Delissa Dixon is back at the table to share a powerful yet challenging  topic: Complacency. Delissa walks us through the first chapter of Proverbs, found in the Old Testament of the Bible, and challenges us to shake off areas of complacency that are keeping us from attaining Godly wisdom and understanding. She encourages us to respond to the conviction of the Holy Spirit and then make room for the loving correction He brings. We pray you are encouraged through her testimony  -- and we invite you to join us in this simple prayer, that we believe could have a huge impact on your life.  "Holy Spirit Deal With Me." 
Happy Thanksgiving! We are so THANKFUL for you, and we are praying for you TODAY!

64 | Is My Story Bringing God Glory?

In this episode Rich McGough joins us at the table to share encouragement through his own personal testimony and what God has been teaching him as he walks with the Lord in this season. As each of us walk with the Lord, study His Word, and allow His presence to change us from the inside out, it is there we begin to understand that - YES, in Christ we are a NEW creation and we’ve been reconciled to God through Christ. As ambassadors for Christ, it is both our privilege and our responsibility to love those around us unconditionally and actively spread the good news of the gospel!
