A World Without Shame Episode 8 Unshaken Voices Audio Version

In this episode, Denise Pimentel talks about creating a world where seeking help is met with compassion, not judgment. A world where someone can say, “I’m struggling,” and not feel ashamed. Because asking for help is not weakness. It is courage. Every person deserves to be met with understanding, dignity, and hope. Let’s keep changing the conversation, one story and one act of compassion at a time.

When God Said “Go Back Home” | Glen & Debbie Kirkpatrick’s Story of Overcoming (Audio Version)

In this powerful episode of Unshaken Voices, I sit down with Glen and Debbie Kirkpatrick, authors of Overcome, to talk about cancer, depression, marriage, intervention, ECT, faith, and the hope that carried them through their darkest season. Their story is honest, emotional, and deeply moving. It reminds us that faith and medical care do not have to be opposites, that intervention can look like love, and that God can still bring purpose out of pain. This episode includes a discussion of depression and suicidal thoughts. If you or someone you love is in crisis, please call or text 988 in the U.S. #UnshakenVoices #Overcome #GlenAndDebbieKirkpatrick #FaithAndMentalHealth #ChristianPodcast #MentalHealthAwareness #SuicidePrevention #CancerSurvivor #FaithAndHealing #Testimony #HopeInHardTimes #ChristianAuthor #PodcastInterview #ECT #GodIsFaithful

A Love Story Tested by Life and Death | The Tin Man’s Wife (Audio Version)

A Love Story Tested by Life and Death | The Tin Man’s Wife Episode 5 of Unshaken Voices is here. I sat down with author Nanette to talk about her powerful book, The Tin Man’s Wife, a deeply personal story inspired by her life. What begins as young love between two teenagers in Brooklyn becomes a decades-long journey through unimaginable trials, including trauma, family loss, and a medical crisis that placed her husband between life and death. Through it all, Nanette shares what covenant love really looks like when faith is tested, fear is overwhelming, and hope seems impossible. This episode is about resilience, miracles, and the kind of love that refuses to give up. 🎙️ Episode 5 of Unshaken Voices is now available on Podbean, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
