When the future you've worked for falls apart, how do you trust God with what comes next? 

Tyler Sansom earned 13 college football scholarship offers. Football was his life. Then a broken neck left him grieving the future he'd pictured and frustrated with God. 

He couldn't have imagined the path ahead: leading worship, pastoring a church, and making films. But what helped him move from disappointment to taking risks he had no experience to prepare him for? 

If you're facing a change you didn't choose, or a next step you're afraid to take, Tyler's story offers hope for a future you can't yet see.  Tyler is the director of movies like, "I Can" and "Learning You."  Learn more at ChurchAnywhere.us and RediscoverTelevision.tv.

"I'll follow you, Lord." 

Ebony Simms grew up letting herself into an empty house while her mother worked. Years of abuse, loss, and searching for somewhere safe followed. Then, alone and desperately ill in a Florida apartment, Ebony says she heard Jesus give her a choice. She didn't understand what following Him would mean, but she said yes. Thirteen years later, she shares how that night marked the beginning of her healing and a life of walking with God.

Holly Schell thought she knew God. She and her husband were raising four children, going to church, praying together, and enjoying a happy, busy family life. But everything changed on October 4, 2020, when their 15-year-old daughter, Grace, died in a tragic accident. 

In the days that followed, Holly wrestled with overwhelming grief, guilt, and anger. Had she done something wrong? Was God punishing her? How could she ever find hope after losing her daughter? 

Then, in one of her darkest moments, Holly experienced God's presence in a way she never had before. It didn't take away her grief or answer all her questions, but it began a transformation that would change her relationship with God and the way she loved others. 

In this deeply personal conversation, Holly shares what it looks like to trust God through devastating loss, find hope in the midst of unanswered questions, and discover that even in our hardest seasons, God is still at work.

Pastor Stan Parris recalls the day his son Briggs's arm suddenly doubled in size from a blood clot, raising fears of cancer and leading to emergency surgery. In desperation his wife prayed, and believes God gave her a verse - Jeremiah 33:3. A hospital water failure then canceled all surgeries, opening the door to specialized care at Johns Hopkins,  and the verse, as well as their son Briggs' story, later appeared in a medical textbook. Drawing from thirty years of ministry and this crisis, Stan shares the lessons in his book Pivotal Decisions: 10 Decisions That Will Transform Your Destiny.

He was an alcoholic atheist and a country artist whose life was falling apart. Walker Hayes had written off faith and was running out of hope. Then came Craig, a friend whose relentless love, years of kindness, generosity, and one unforgettable gift made Walker start asking a question he'd avoided his whole life: What if Jesus really is who He says He is?  In this episode of The Unfolding, Walker shares his journey from brokenness to belief, and how his heart of stone began to soften in the most unexpected ways. 

You probably know Walker for his hit song Fancy Like, which went seven-times platinum. His latest album is 17 Problems. Behind the success is a deeper story of friendship, unexpected grace, and a transformation he never saw coming.
