Kelly and Robb Hatch | Angels Amid the Ashes

Kelly and Robb Hatch | Angels Amid the Ashes

Kelly and Robb Hatch and Debbie and Clay Wood have experienced the touch of angels in their lives. This week, we had the amazing opportunity to hear their story. In 2012, Kelly and Robb survived a plane crash. Debbie and Clay were among the first responders at the scene. They shared with us their experiences during the accident, recovering from serious injuries, and developing a wonderful friendship–all full of miracles. The Hatches and Woods reminded us that God is present in our lives, often in unexpected ways that we don’t see until after miracles have occurred.  Be aware that this episode contains descriptions of a plane crash and related injuries in some detail.

Kim Clonch | War & Rescue

Michael and Hannie were joined by Kim Clonch this week, a woman whose story tugged our heartstrings. Learning about her life took us through war, animal rescue, and battles with illness. Her strength and perseverance, coupled with an incredible attitude, are truly awe-inspiring. Join us to learn about love letters at war, the effect one person can have when they follow their passions, and how to stay positive and move forward when life seems bleak.

Christi, Ed, and Molly Speck | Love Letters at Sea

In the words of Hannie, this is “one of my most favorite stories I’ve ever heard”. We’re joined this week by a family that came from an incredible start. Christi and Ed met each other across the world–through letters, while Ed was serving in the Navy during Desert Storm. Their daughter, Molly, brought their story to us, and we were fortunate to have the opportunity to unfold their love story with them. We were shocked and delighted by the twists and turns of what it looked like to truly court through letters, especially in a time so close to our own. Join us to hear an incredibly unique story of love letters during war!

Karen Stanaland | Becoming Who You Are

Our guest this week, Karen Stanaland, taught us a lot about becoming who you are. In her life so far, she’s experienced and accomplished so much. She’s published books, run businesses, completed degrees, sung arias, played concertos, overcome heartbreak, and left an impact on countless lives. After all this, she found her calling as an inspirational art teacher. Join us as we learn from her how to keep moving forward and thrive in any circumstance.
