Summary

Hey, hey, hey! Welcome back to God's Power Stories! In this powerful episode, we reconnect with Pam Kantola, who first joined us in episode 11 with her touching journey of finding light through the tragedy of losing her daughter, Stephanie. Pam returns to share the profound lessons and God-piphanies she's encountered over the past five years, stemming from her unexpected calling to start an online Bible study amidst the global pandemic. Journey with us as Pam reveals her heartwarming six God-piphanies, the challenges faced, and the transformative power of stepping outside comfort zones. As we delve into discussions about faith, community, and overcoming fears, Pam's story is one of resilience and divine guidance. Through personal growth and fostering connections despite physical distances, Pam has impacted lives across states, engaging varied participants from Michigan to Florida. Listen in as we explore the deep, personal impacts of faith-led initiatives and the ways they shape us spiritually and communally. I came up with six God-piphanes from Pam that I believe we can apply to our own approach to Bible study: Cultivating and growing relationships with others Realizing you're not alone in your need Not everyone who comes will already be a Christian...what better place to accept Christ than in a Bible study? Walking the walk through sweet conviction directly from the Abba Father A deeper understanding and application of the Word of God Allowing God to confirm that he is all you need Whether you’re a long-time listener or new to God’s Power Stories, this episode is an invitation to witness the beautiful unfoldings when obedience to divine nudges transforms individual lives and communities.
