When Life Gives You Lemons, Featuring "The Figs"

When life gives you lemons… Jesus can make LEMONADE! In this uplifting episode of Family Vision, Rob Rienow welcomes special guests Micah Yoder and Bailey Gillen—worship leaders from Gull Lake Ministries and members of the band The Figs—to share the inspiring story behind their hit song “Lemonade” with artist Forrest Frank.

Recorded fresh off a week of family camp, this conversation begins with the heart of worship: helping entire families sing together and experience God’s presence across generations. Micah and Bailey share how seeing parents and children worship side-by-side can transform a family’s spiritual culture.

Then, you’ll hear the miracle story of “Lemonade”—how a playful songwriting project, a skateboarding accident, and an unexpected Instagram connection turned into a #1 song on iTunes, encouraging millions to trust Jesus in hard times. The lyrics carry a deep message of Romans 8 hope: God works all things for good for those who love Him.
