Just Love Them

In this deeply personal and faith-affirming episode, Shiree shares tender stories of young people—and her own experience—wrestling with God’s silence. From a returned missionary praying on a mountainside for a butterfly that never came, to a young woman pleading in the celestial room for assurance, to Shiree’s teenage prayers that seemed to go unheard for months, we explore the painful question so many ask:Why doesn’t God answer when we are trying so hard to reach Him?Through scripture, personal witnesses, and sacred examples - this episode invites us to see unanswered prayers not as abandonment, but as part of God’s refining, strengthening, deeply intentional plan.This episode is a reminder that God has a plan, even when we don’t understand it. He sees what we cannot. And while His timing may feel painfully slow, He is always near, always aware, always working for our highest good.Connect with Shiree at ⁠shireebest.com⁠ Join the⁠ "Just Love Them" Facebook group⁠Email Shiree at imlivinginjoy@gmail.com

In this episode, I’m joined by Jeanna and David Hepburn, who share their remarkable story of healing, redemption, and love.For years, David wrestled with the pull of pornography, the burden of guilt, and 20 years spent away from God. Ultimately, God gave Him a miracle as great as "parting the waters of the Red Sea". In another state, Jeana walked her own path of heartache, learning to trust God in the consequence of others’ choices. Though they were not together during those difficult years, each discovered the peace and restoration found in the atonement of Jesus Christ.In God’s perfect timing, their separate journeys of healing ultimately brought them to each other. Today, their marriage is built on understanding, grace, and faith.Their story is a beautiful reminder that it’s never too late for God’s healing to change us, bring us back to Him, and even create new beginnings. This conversation is filled with honesty, hope, and the assurance that no matter where we’ve been, Christ can make us whole again.Connect with Shiree at ⁠shireebest.com⁠ Join the⁠ "Just Love Them" Facebook group⁠Email Shiree at imlivinginjoy@gmail.com
