This episode of Outside of Sunday features a recording from the Outsider Retreat in 2025 with Destiny Calhoon - a woman whose story is marked by deep suffering, unwavering faith, and radical trust in God.
From a near-death car accident and frightening pregnancy complications, to a breast cancer diagnosis while pregnant and the excruciating pain of topical steroid withdrawal, Destiny shares how her life has been shaken - and how God met her in the middle of it all. With honesty and humility, she opens up about wrestling with questions, facing false teaching, and learning what it truly means to glorify God, not just in the good times, but in the hardest ones.
This is a conversation about trials, surrender, and choosing to trust God above all. Destiny’s testimony will gently but powerfully invite you to ask: Will you trust Him - no matter what?

In this second session from the Outsider Retreat, Julie Colbeth brings a powerful and grace-filled word as she lifts the veil of shame and leads us back to the foot of the cross. Through Scripture and honest reflection, she unpacks the beauty of brokenness and why following Jesus calls us to die to self - not to harm us, but to free us.
This session gently challenges the places we resist surrender and reminds us that we can’t do this on our own - but Jesus can. Take a moment to sit with this word, come into the light, and rest in His grace and truth.

In this inspiring session from the 2025 Outsider Retreat, our friend Julie Colbeth opens God’s Word and gently brings us back to the simplicity of the gospel through 1 John.
Many of us know we are saved - yet we can experience seasons where it doesn’t feel that way. Julie helps us make sense of the gap between what we experience and what Scripture teaches, reminding us not to hide in the darkness, that joy is meant to be full, and that believers still need the simple message of salvation.

In Part 2 of our chat with Féy from European Christian Mission, we step into the harder side of mission life - a part that’s often unseen and rarely talked about.
Féy shares honestly about walking through her son’s mental health struggles while continuing to serve on the mission field. We talk about what it’s really like to come home from overseas mission work, how you discern whether to return, and what it takes to keep saying yes to God when the cost feels overwhelming.
