In this episode of the Eternal Echoes podcast, host Katharine Rose speaks with David Beeton, a 65-year-old man who serves as a Congregational Care & Prayer Director at The Experience Community Church in Cannon County, Tennessee.

David shares how God pursued him from childhood — even in seasons of rebellion and insecurity — and how the Lord quite literally singled him out and called him home.

But David’s story did not end in a moment of recommitment. It was forged in the fire of twenty-one years of walking with his wife through the relentless progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) — years marked by suffering, caregiving, loss, and God's sustaining grace.

He speaks with tenderness about love that remained faithful, a Savior who carried him when he had no strength left, and the ways God can use even our darkest seasons to deepen our hope in heaven and our love for Christ.

If you need hope… if you’ve questioned where God is in your pain… if you’ve wondered whether your faith can carry you through what’s in front of you… this conversation will steady your heart and lift your eyes.

Wise words worth echoing:

-“Our relationship with Christ is paramount. Setting our affections on Him, getting to know Him – there's nothing greater that we can do.”

-“You never have to doubt God's love because He proved His love for you when Jesus died on the cross.”

-“If God used those experiences for me to know more about Him, then it was worth it all.”

-“The highest thing that any of us can do with our lives is to spend time in His presence.”

-“Our sufferings aren't for nothing. Those are the very things God has given you as a gift that you can then share how God delivered you or how God helped you through.”

-“The more often you can tell your story, the better, because nobody has your exact story and it glorifies God when you tell it.”

-“If you're young, God wants to use you. If you're old, you can still bear fruit for the Lord.”

In this episode of the Eternal Echoes podcast, host Katharine Rose speaks with Anita Keagy, an author, speaker, and founder of JoyShop Ministries, a ministry dedicated to helping people rediscover the joy that comes from seeking God first.

Anita shares her deeply personal journey from heartbreak to healing — and how God turned her greatest pain into a life-giving ministry.

As a young pastor’s daughter, Anita faced an unplanned pregnancy, the heartbreak of placing her baby for adoption, and years of wondering if her daughter knew she was loved. Decades later, God wove redemption into her story in a way only He could — reuniting her with her daughter and revealing a profound spiritual truth that changed everything:

Just as Anita had written letters for her daughter to one day read, God has written His own letters for His children — found in His Word — longing for us to open them and discover His heart.

Through tears, joy, and a renewed sense of purpose, Anita invites us to see Scripture not as a duty, but as a love letter from our Father — one that leads us into relationship, healing, and joy.

If you’ve ever struggled to seek God in your everyday life or wondered how He could redeem your pain, this story will remind you: nothing is wasted in His hands.

Wise words worth echoing:

-“When you fail, you don't need anyone shaming you. The enemy is already shaming you enough.”

-"Never doubt in the dark what God has told you in the light."

-“My pain of the past has led me into service for his kingdom. And only God can do that.”

-“Pray that God will give you the desire to really want to know Him, to hunger after Him, to want Him more than anything else.”

-“The Father laid down himself through his Son for the world, for all to come to know Him. He did it all. So the love is there, but we have to receive it.”

In this episode of the Eternal Echoes podcast, host Katharine Rose interviews Rhonda Stoppe, a bestselling author and speaker dedicated to helping women live lives free from regret. As a pastor’s wife and host of the “Old Ladies Know Stuff” podcast, Rhonda is full of wisdom on everything from developing a godly marriage to raising children with integrity.

During our conversation, Rhonda draws on the stories of Paul and Peter to show how our failures never disqualify us from being used by God. She guides listeners through practical steps to break free from shame and regret, highlighting the importance of knowing God's character and washing our minds with the Word of God.

Rhonda also speaks to the importance of community and mentorship, particularly from older, seasoned women who are a step ahead of us in our marriage, parenting, careers, or singleness.

Wise words worth echoing:

-“When we break free from our past hurts, nothing's wasted. What Satan uses for evil, God uses for good.”

-“Your freedom from that person [that wronged you] lies in forgiving them.”

-“Gossip is the worst sin among Christian women.”

-“I will never see myself more clearly than through the lens of scripture.”

-“Invite people in your life, older, seasoned, that are just a step ahead of you in their marriage, in their parenting, in their careers, in their singleness.”

-“We will never be the woman of faith – the person God intends for us to be – if we skip over time in the Word, time in prayer, and then really run your race with others that want to follow Jesus like that.”

-“The more we grow in our love for Him, the more His love spills over into our marriages, into our friendships, into our parenting. And you'll have no regrets.”
