In today's episode, we're reminded that the hardest and most unexpected parts of life are often where we experience God's presence most deeply.

Beth Tappan, who serves on our Charleston, South Carolina community team, shares her story of growing up in an adoptive family and the profound influence of both her adoptive and biological mothers. Through loss and discovery, Beth's journey unfolds in remarkable ways—especially after the passing of her parents, when she connects with her biological mother and learns of a history of breast cancer.

Because of that connection, Beth begins early screenings and ultimately discovers cancer at an early stage, an outcome that may not have been possible otherwise. Through it all, she sees God's hand guiding her story in ways she never could have planned, encouraging us to know that God's faithfulness is not dependent on ours. He always remains steady, present, and good.

VERSE OF THE WEEK:

"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart." Jeremiah 1:5

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK:

Reflect on the truth that God knew you before you were born and praise Him for the ways in which He has shown His faithfulness to you throughout your life.
