One in every eight women will unfortunately be diagnosed with breast cancer. Many people have been affected by cancer through a personal diagnosis or been touched by it through someone they love. From the initial diagnosis to the moments of doubt, the physical struggles, and emotional highs and lows, there will be trials in cancer and life that can often seem insurmountable. We explore what faith as an anchor in a storm looks like. Our guest Celeste Gonzales overflows with a confidence that comes from faith alone. Her story will inspire listeners through her powerful testimony of fighting back with the sword of the spirit and hope in God's promises - a constant that never changes.

Celeste Gonzales holds many titles—wife, mother, daughter, preacher’s kid, sister, friend, cancer kicker, author and pastor to name a few—but she is way more than a title. At heart, she is a lover of Jesus and His people. She’s devoted to her family, passionate about the Word of God, the first call to her friends in a time of need, a shopping buddy when her schedule allows, a cook to unexpected dinner guests, a great hugger when you just need a warm embrace and wise counsel to point you in the right direction.

She is the author of You Are Not Who You Think You Are centered on themes of overcoming shame, rejection, negative thought patterns, and finding your identity in Christ and Become: 31 devotions to think different, break cycles, and be confident. She’s addicted to seeing women set free and living their most adventurous life in Christ! She’s been married to the love of her life, Daniel, for 21 years and they have three creative kiddos: Syrena (19), Luke (16), Kya (12).

Pour It Out For Good is now mobilized beyond a Podcast where we share life transforming testimonies via www.pouritoutforgood.com. It is now a .org as well, working alongside Bridge the Gapp NC to bring relief and restoration to Western North Carolina who recently had their lives upended and communities devastated by the unexpected storm, Hurricane Helene. Our guest and partner, Sharon Bollinger - Administrator of Hurricane Relief who along with her husband run Lake James Community Church in Nebo, NC, tells her heart wrenching first hand account of this recent storm. Their new efforts to rebuild the community and its surrounding counties are God-divined.

Our prayer this day "Lord guide our lives, direct our paths, focus our attention and divert our eyes to the needs all around us so that we may be your hands and feet, showing love to our neighbors as you commanded us to do. As we put you first above all else and trust you will provide all relief. Amen."

The North Carolina Toast:

Here's to the land of the long leaf pine, the summer land where the sun doth shine, where the weak grow strong and the strong grow great, here's to the down home, the Old North State.

Cheers!!

As we roll into the Labor Day weekend, our culture invites us to rest from our work. Let's shift the paradigm and broaden our perspective. Might we instead seek the real rest and perfect peace found in Jesus Christ instead, where we align ourselves with His will for our lives and find true balance between our mental, emotional and physical health. Let's go back to His original design where homeostasis 'the self-regulating process by which biological systems maintain stability while adjusting to optimal conditions for survival' is found. A place where our mind, body and spirit fortify so that disease becomes ease, feelings can be felt, trauma can be processed, and joy can begin overflowing with abundance from its source.
