Today, we’re joined by Ben Graber, who shares his incredible journey of faith and forgiveness. Ben grew up Amish, but his life took a turn when he was excommunicated for studying the Bible and discussing it with others. After joining the Mennonite community with his wife and kids, they faced even more rejection—this time, for reporting abuse in their family and for supposedly, dressing differently than others in the church.

Through all the pain and criticism, Ben has continued to lean on God, responding to those who’ve hurt him with love and grace. His story is a powerful reminder that, no matter what we face, change is possible with God’s help—and even those who misuse us can be loved.

It was so fun to have Ruby on the podcast this week, we talk about everything from feelings to bad haircuts, to boys and Ruby got a chance to play therapist for a bit during a candid discussion about feelings. Ruby also shares her heartfelt journey of discovering self-confidence and self-worth through her relationship with God.

William shares his journey from growing up Baptist and traveling to different churches, to eventually leaving that path and learning to pursue information on his own. Along the way, he met Judi, and together they've built a marriage full of love and connection.
