Season 2: Shaken with Steve Sunshine

Even followers of Jesus experience things in life that can make a firm foundation feel kind of well shaky. I will be sharing stories of people finding hope, joy and even humor under difficult life circumstances. The common denominator in these stories is God.

Season 1: Hope When Life Hurts with Erica Parkerson

Welcome to Hope When Life Hurts, a special 5-episode podcast series designed to shine a light on what God is doing during the darkest moments of our lives. God wants to meet you in the middle of your mess. There is Hope for when you lose a loved one and your heart splits in two. Hope for when a transition in life leaves you feeling empty. Hope for when the life you expected to live…simply unravels. The struggle is real, but so is the hope!

“You, LORD, keep my lamp burning,” David wrote in the psalms. “My God turns my darkness into light.”

    God Meets Us in Our Suffering with Rolf Jacobson
    Feb 4 2026
    Rolf Jacobson had cancer as a teenager and survived, but it led to the amputation of both his legs. Years later, his brother Karl and their friend Mike were also diagnosed with cancer, and the three began writing a book about their experiences. While Karl passed away before it was finished, Rolf and Mike completed it—an honest, heartfelt, and humor‑filled look at the pain of cancer.
