Restored & Rebuilt: Stephen & Tonya George on Faith, Divorce, and Finding Love Again

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2606833/fan_mail/new] What happens when two people survive divorce, lean into God, and find each other on a dating app they were both about to delete? This week, Lou sits down with Stephen and Tanya George — newlyweds with a story that is anything but ordinary. Between them, they have six kids, two painful divorces, and a faith that was tested, broken, and rebuilt from the ground up. Tanya's 10-year-old son Cole set the ground rules before she even started dating: "Mom, you only need to ask one question — do they believe in Jesus as their Lord and Savior?" That simple standard changed everything. In this episode, Stephen and Tanya open up about infidelity, the loneliness of single parenting, what it looks like to seek Christ first in a blended family, and how God used a halfway-point church to bring two broken families together into one. They also share how their restoration business — My Water Damage Hero [https://www.mywaterdamagehero.blog/ourstory] — is a daily reflection of what God did in their own lives. If you're in a blended family, navigating divorce, or wondering if God still has something good ahead for you — this one's for you. Topics covered: * Dating after divorce with faith as the filter * Navigating blended family dynamics with grace * Running a Christ-centered business * How the local church became their lifeline * Finding hope when you feel like quitting More Than Conquerors Podcast is hosted by Lou Lepore.

In Sickness and in Faith | Airic & Abbey Briggs

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2606833/fan_mail/new] Airic and Abbey Briggs  [https://vfba.org/about/]had everything to look forward to... marriage — a COVID wedding, no less — a fresh start in Florida, and a shared calling in ministry — life was good. Then, just months after their wedding, what seemed like a simple headache turned into a year-long battle with TB meningitis. If the word “always” can be allowed any application in medicine, perhaps its best use is in describing the death rate in cases of untreated tuberculous meningitis. [https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(26)02343-8/fulltext]With Airic hospitalized repeatedly, doctors unable to find answers, and nearly $1.5 million in medical bills piling up, this newlywed couple found themselves facing the unthinkable — alone, afraid, and wondering if God had gone silent. But God had not forgotten them. Through a determined doctor, a breakthrough blood test, a generous and loving church family [https://www.mybbc.church], and the quiet faithfulness of clinging to Scripture in the darkest moments, Airic and Abbey discovered that doubt doesn't disqualify you — and that delay doesn't mean denial. Today, Airic and Abbey share their story with raw honesty and real hope. If you're in the middle of a trial and wondering where God is, this episode is for you! Today's test is tomorrow's testimony.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2606833/fan_mail/new] Even in the Valley, God Is Good | Nicole Sherwin's Story of Faith, PAH, and God's Perfect Provision. In this episode, host Lou Lepore sits down with Nicole Sherwin — wife, mom, and member of Valley Forge Baptist — to share her journey through a life-changing diagnosis of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). What started as a simple cold in March 2024 led to a six-week hospital stay and a rare diagnosis — the same disease that had taken her aunt's life years before. But God had been orchestrating every detail long before Nicole felt her first symptom: a divine move from Indiana to Pennsylvania, a world-class PAH treatment center just 20 miles away, and a brand-new medication approved right when she needed it most. Nicole shares how God deepened her faith through fear, isolation, and uncertainty — and how He provided through His Word, His people, and even a miraculous elimination of over $1 million in medical bills.  "Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice!" — Philippians 4:4 📧 morethankonquerorspodcast837@gmail.com  🌐 morethankonquerorspodcast.buzzsprout.com Looking for Hope?
