Revelation 12:11 says that “they triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” In today’s episode, Stasi is joined by her dear friend Cyndi Fudickar, who bravely shares her story of brokenness, healing, and God’s unshakable faithfulness—a conversation that will deeply resonate with each of us. Stasi and Cyndi explore the power of testimony—how our valleys and mountaintops can reveal God’s heart and ignite hope in others. Friends, we hope this conversation encourages you with the truth that you are seen, cherished, and chosen by the One who meets you right where we are, with love that never fails. Listen in, be blessed, and feel His presence afresh today.

John 15:14–17 (NLT) — You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me. You didn’t choose me. I chose you.

GUEST BIO

Laurie Lokey found her way into counseling after completing and leading a Power To Choose recovery group in Columbia, TN and loved partnering with people on their journey to find hope and change. She completed her master’s degree at Trevecca University and is a Licensed Professional Counselor. She worked with the YMCA of Middle Tennessee to create and run their 12 step recovery groups. Laurie created an individual intensive therapy model for the healing of trauma, which she continues to evolve and use with clients very effectively.

Laurie’s love for helping people heal from the impact of trauma led her to work with a specialist and traumatologist, Dr. Lee Norton. From their work, Laurie learned and developed her own modality called “Trauma Stage Processing” which she and her late husband, Bill, taught to clinicians through the U.S. and Uganda, Africa.

Laurie is full of life and passionate about what’s important in her life, which becomes obvious soon after you meet her. She loves people well and loves seeing the light come back on in the eyes of those who have lost it. In her free time, Laurie loves being a mom and a grandmom and enjoys spending time with good friends!

Stasi invites friend, speaker, and teacher Cherie Snyder into the studio to explore the precious truth that we are all welcomed into God’s family—a family that transcends time and space. The Bible is an endless treasure of wisdom and invitation, constantly revealing fresh truths based on our current journey. Through its rich stories, the Bible invites us to be part of the personal connection its authors had with Jesus and each other. We are part of His Story, rescued from isolation into secure connection to God's heart and an eternal global family.
