Bethany and Jacob from The Whatever Is True Podcast - Raising Families Through a Biblical Worldview

We have Bethany and Jacob from the Whatever is True Podcast with us on episode 42. Married for 11 years, they felt the stirring to start a podcast last year. Their podcast is all about raising families + pursuing marriage through a biblical worldview with the main verse 1 John 3:18 as the banner over it.
“18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.”

Be blessed as they share how they met, some of the topics they talk about over on their podcast, and the decision to homeschool their 5 children.

Aaron and Amanda Florczykowski on Parenting Fiercely and Advocacy Against Child Sex Trafficking

Author of the book, Unraveled: Mothering Fiercely in a World Full of Fears, Amanda Florczykowski and her husband Aaron share with us how the Lord called their family into the fight against child sex trafficking.

Their family has faced some incredibly hard and very traumatic trials in their 16 years of marriage. The book and this episode focus on the day when Amanda and Aaron’s toddler was taken from Amanda’s arms in a thwarted sex trafficking abduction, beginning them on an unexpected journey.

They share the behind-the-scenes details of this incredible story, and the basic facts you must know to outsmart a trafficker, and the specific biblical truths that prevail when injustice, trauma, or fear leave you undone. Having fought fear and won, this couple is uniquely qualified to give unwavering advice and personal examples that will help you parent fiercely, equip you with resources to become more aware of this epidemic that’s plaguing not only our world but our nation and even small-town communities.

Dustin and Rebecca George: Pursuing the Call God Places on Our Lives, A Pastor and Pastor’s Wife’s Perspective

Dustin and Rebecca live in Brookhaven, Mississippi, with their one pup and have quite the unique perspective as Dustin is the lead pastor of Easthaven Baptist Church making Rebecca “first lady” of their church.
Episode 26 gives us an inside look into how pastors and their families navigate full-time ministry and we hear the story of how Dustin and Rebecca met and how God took two very independent individuals (who might I add have a 19 year age difference) and called them to marriage to each other.

Dustin shares how the call to being a pastor wasn’t always clearly defined, it was more about taking small steps of faith and as he did so the Lord revealed more and more of His plan for his life. Rebecca had to navigate what being a pastor’s wife looked like for her as she had a very specific call as a writer and is passionate about cheering others on in the pursuit of making God known through her unique calling hosting a podcast called Do The Thing Movement.

Tim and Stephanie Broersma and a Marriage Reclaimed After Marital Betrayal

Tim and Stephanie share the process they went through after Tim confessed to multiple affairs and to a 10-year pornography addiction which took them both on a journey to restoration as they determined to do the hard work and fight for their marriage because the prospect of the alternative was harder to bear than going through the uncomfortable middle.

On the other side, they have found beauty truly does rise from the ashes when we find our life and/or marriage has caught fire. Walk with them through the rubble as they share their testimony and the ministry God birthed in Stephanie as she coped with the pain, the devastation of grappling with marital betrayal.

Karl and Bonny Hoeflein and Loving People Into the Kingdom

Karl and Bonny Hoeflein share their wisdom and what they’ve seen God do in and through their 35 years of marriage. Bonny is a teacher, author, and speaker. Her book called More Cake — puts to print the lessons the Lord had shown her over her lifetime. Bonny’s ministry, Live Brighter, is the fruit of her life passion for nurturing, empowering, and inspiring men and women to act bravely, love deeply, and live brightly.

Karl is a software project manager and is the facilitator of Bonny’s dreams and is happy doing so. Karl encourages the young adults who come into their home (who’ve come over the years for homegroup and bible study) that “You can serve the Lord with your abilities no matter what they are, it’s not only pulpit ministries that matter. You can serve Him behind the scenes.”

Jacob and Tori Petersen - God Making Families Whole

Jacob and Tori Petersen have been married a little over 2 years, have a 2 year old son and a daughter on the way. They have a heart for family and seeing the restoration of families. Jacob is in a season of being the husband and father God has called him to be and enjoys welcoming all into their family home and making them feel like family. Tori grew up in the foster care system and God has since redeemed and restored pieces of her story and is using her as an advocate for foster youth, vulnerable youth and suffering families and is a voice for the unborn/pro-life. Taken from her site, Tori writes, “I share my life vulnerably with hopes to let my Abba Father be known & loved through stories, to offer hope to the hurting, & to serve people from all kinds of backgrounds.
