Stories Series

This year, our church has been centered around the word Miracle, taking time to recognize and share the ways God is actively working in people’s lives.

Toward the end of 2025, I connected with my lead pastor, Eddie, about wanting to help capture and share some of these stories. I had one in mind at the time, Mandie’s, because of the way God has worked so clearly in her life. From there, it quickly grew into an opportunity to help tell others’ stories as well.

Each of these videos is a glimpse into real lives, real struggles, and the ways God has shown up in the middle of them. I’ve been grateful to play a small part in helping these stories be told.

Story: Corey and Addie

Corey and Addie share their story of walking through cancer, loss, and the faith that carried them through it. After Corey was diagnosed with a brain tumor, their family faced the difficult road of treatment, only to experience another heartbreaking loss along the way with the passing of their unborn daughter, Brooklyn.

Hearing their story was deeply meaningful for me. Parts of their journey hit close to home, especially the way they recognized God’s presence in small but significant ways throughout such a difficult season. It was an honor to spend time with them, to listen, and to help capture what God has done in their lives.

This is a story of faith, perseverance, and the quiet ways God shows up even in the hardest moments.

Story: Mandie Jones

This video captures Mandie Jones sharing her testimony of addiction, loss, and restoration. After years marked by struggle and time away from her family, Mandie speaks honestly about how God met her in the midst of her addiction and led her back to Christ.

I first heard Mandie’s sobriety journey at her one-year sobriety celebration, and I knew it was a story I wanted to help share. It was a privilege to capture her words and be a small part of telling what God has done in her life. This is a story of grace, redemption, and the hope found in surrender.
