ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION:

This conversation comes from a place of deep care. We have a burning desire in our hearts to support those who are hearing Jesus call their name while feeling the tension of being pulled in other directions, especially new-age related practices. Why is it so hard to hear God’s voice? It may be because you’re one foot in, and one foot out... There’s a profound gift of grace that comes from fully committing to a life with Christ.

• What it looked like for us to be one foot in, and one foot out with Jesus
• How to navigate the in-between when Jesus is calling your name AND you’re being pulled in different directions
• Removing false idols as essential for a true relationship with God
• Normalizing a lifestyle, habits & practices that are not normal in God's eyes
• The importance of scripture in understanding God's will
• The psychological and social challenges of fully committing to a life in Christ
• What it means to have both feet in Christ

ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION:

Atheism. New Age. Christ. Martine’s journey has been one of seeking—searching for identity, freedom, and healing in places that only left her more lost. But God, in His mercy, used the very things that broke her—an accident, heartbreak, and loss—to bring her home to Him. In this episode, Martine share’s her full testimony: from striving for perfection, idolizing independence, and being caught in new age deception—to the moment of surrender when she finally knew Jesus was the truth. If you’ve ever felt like you were trying to “find yourself” through self-improvement, manifestation, or spiritual exploration, we pray this conversation opens your heart to the One who was seeking you all along.

- The phases of Martine’s journey: Atheism → New Age → Christ
- The accident that shifted her entire worldview
- How God allows us to *wilt and fall* before we can *take root and rise*
- The dangers of self-deification and new age deception
- Learning that true freedom is found in surrender to Jesus
- Baptism, sanctification, and the ongoing journey of faith
- What it means to let Christ be the photosynthesis of your healing

ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION:

Have you ever felt caught in the space between old friendships fading away and new ones not yet forming? This conversation dives into the complexities of that season. We also touch on the fear of losing relationships or community—especially on social media—when you decide to live openly as a follower of Christ. We’re sharing personal stories of how God strengthened our conviction to stand firm in faith, even when friendships are rooted in different values, and what it means to stand in the gap for others who don’t know Christ yet.

- Navigating the gap in-between friendships: when old friendships fall away, and the new ones are not here yet
- Fear of losing friends/relationships/community on social media with declaring a life in Christ
- Our experiences in how God strengthened our conviction to declare our faith publicly
- Friendships rooted in different values
- How we’ve been standing in the gap for others who don’t know Christ yet
- You don’t have to be a ‘perfect’ Christian to share your testimony
- Growing in faith through hearing other people's stories
- The indescribable bond of Christ-centered friendships

ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION:

What does it mean to stand in the gap between what was and what is to come? In this very first episode, we introduce Gap With God—a podcast born out of parallel journeys, divine encounters, and a deep calling to share our testimonies. We (Martine and Katharina) connected in an almost miraculous way, both experiencing life-altering accidents that ultimately led us to surrender to Jesus. In this conversation, we share how those moments weren’t just physical wounds but spiritual awakenings—God’s invitation to step into a new creation. Our lives before Christ were shaped by striving, searching, and seeking meaning in all the wrong places. But through our testimonies, we hope to show how God transforms, redeems, and gives new life. If you’ve ever felt like you’re standing in the in-between, caught between old beliefs and a deeper truth calling you forward—this episode is for you.

• How we connected through our testimonies and divine encounters
• The accidents that changed everything—Tulum and Bali
• How we knew it was Jesus calling us, not just “coincidence”
• Life before the accident vs. life after: from atheism and new age to faith in Christ
• Why we believe in the power of testimony and how it turns graveyards into gardens
• What it means to bridge the gap for others through our stories
