From Child to Loss in 3 Weeks.
"When he got diagnosed, we got pregnant." Three weeks was all that separated the day Ruslan buried his older brother and the day he held his newborn son — one gave him purpose, the other gave him pain, and instead of pulling him away from God they pulled him in. Youngest of six, no high school, no rock bottom, one girl since he was fifteen: a slower-burn testimony about grief that draws you closer, faith you'll never prove, and what it means to be an anchor instead of a sailboat.

madenew church planted in the Pacific Northwest of Washington, the first of many.
From there, more along the West Coast, then anywhere across the U.S. where the right partnership and team take root.

Honest sit-downs with artists, pastors, and ordinary people who've learned that the grass isn't greener somewhere else, it's right where you've been planted.
Each episode is an hour at a real table. We don't rush. We don't pull punches. We try to leave you a little more hopeful than we found you.
