Joy is not Dependent on your Circumstance

Such a Time as This is back with a powerful episode to close out 2025! This month, Haley and Hannah sit down with Dr. Kit Ford, founder of Argrow’s House in Davenport, Iowa — a ministry dedicated to helping women and children heal from abuse through safe housing, workforce development, and social enterprise. In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Ford shares her journey from seminary student to visionary leader, the story behind Argrow’s House, and how joy — not dependent on circumstances — sustains her through challenges. She also opens up about creating Autistic and Loved, a resource born from her own family’s experience, and offers practical ways we can serve needs in our own communities. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Trusting God in the Waiting and Winning Seasons

After a few months off, we are happy to refocus with one of our most favorite interviews yet! From seasons of winning to seasons of waiting, Taylor Edwards is able to see God's Hand through it all. A two sport athlete at the University of Illinois, Taylor's faith and obedience to God was an inspiration for her teammates, her conference and now-- her Instagram followers! She's been a light for Christ playing professional softball, overseas, running (and winning!) half marathons and building her community in a new area. Listen in to hear how God used Taylor's obedience in college to lay down a dream, and provided abundantly more than she could have imagined. Taylor's heart for the Lord will leave you encouraged and ready to run more faithfully after Christ! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Our Work Has Purpose

Is there a better combo than sweet tea and Jesus?! In 2017, Kylee and Jon Julius began the company "Rosie Jeans's Sweet Tea and Jesus" after the slogan was best seller in Kylee's tshirt business. With hearts devoted to making His name known and serving the those around them, the Julius family serves sweet tea at events throughout Illinois and Indiana. Hannah, Kylee and Jon dive into the details of running a Christian business and how God can work through small conversations. “It’s just amazing to me everyday how many people we are reaching with just a cup of sweet team with a Bible verse on it," Kylee said.
