Christina is back. Pastor Dee and Bernie want to express our love and support for her during a season that would weaken most. Yet through deep faith and dependence on Jesus, Christina has emerged from the storm as an even stronger witness of God’s goodness.

In The Reason, Christina shares the difficult journey of losing her father to pulmonary fibrosis and the powerful ways God sustained her through grief, fear, and uncertainty. From the long hours in the hospital to the quiet moments of surrender, she tells how Scripture anchored her soul and how God surrounded her family with comfort, provision, and hope.

Through Ecclesiastes 3, Hebrews 6, Matthew 11, and other passages, Christina reminds listeners that God is near to the brokenhearted, faithful in every season, and the steady rock beneath our feet.

If you are walking through loss or searching for hope, this testimony will point you toward the One who is our anchor, our comfort, and our reason for hope.

In this episode, Pastor Dee explores a beautiful truth woven through Christian history: hymns are the ordinary person’s theology. Discover how music carries Scripture into the heart, how the Wesley brothers understood singing as a form of spiritual breathing, and how worship at the foot of the Cross heals, strengthens, and restores hope.

We’ll reflect on why songs stay with us long after sermons fade, how the Holy Spirit works through our breath when we sing, and why the Cross becomes the place where sighs turn into praise.

Whether you’re weary, worshipful, or somewhere in between, this episode invites you to breathe deeply, remember truth, and let hope rise again.

Scriptures: Colossians 1:20, Romans 5:5, Psalm 40:3
Theme: Singing as theology, healing through worship, hope at the Cross.
