Two and a half years ago, I said "yes" when God asked me to step outside my comfort zone and start a podcast. He faithfully prepared me every step of the way, opening doors, teaching me new skills, and bringing incredible women into my life to share their stories.

Over the past two and a half years, we've talked about the things that matter most to women: balancing faith, family, careers, ministry, and life's many responsibilities. We've laughed together during Sister Talk with Viv & Becca, learned from inspiring guests, and walked through honest conversations about burnout, grief, joy, purpose, and God's faithfulness through every season.

Thank you to every guest and every listener! Your support, encouragement, and friendship have meant more than you know.

While this is the final episode of Juggling Life, Finding Balance, it isn't goodbye. It's the beginning of a new adventure.

I'm excited to be joining Abundant Television as a co-host of Salted, a women's talk show where no topic is off the table. Alongside an incredible panel of Christian women, we'll have honest conversations about faith, family, identity, marriage, culture, beauty, and so much more, all through the lens of biblical truth and grace.

I hope you'll continue this journey with me! You can watch Salted right here on my YouTube channel or by downloading the Abundant TV app. Thank you for being part of this incredible chapter. I can't wait to see what God has in store next.

In a world that measures success by followers, likes, downloads, and views, it's easy to believe that bigger numbers equal greater impact. But is that how God measures influence?

In this thought-provoking conversation, Vivian sits down with Rob Patz, founder and CEO of Coastal Media and Abundant TV, to explore the difference between having followers and having true Kingdom influence. With more than 25 years of experience in Christian media, Rob shares how God transformed his passion for media into a calling to help others amplify their message for eternal impact.

In this episode, Vivian and Rob discuss:

• The difference between followers and genuine Kingdom influence • Growing an audience versus growing lasting influence • The pressure Christian communicators face to build a platform • Why authenticity and heart posture matter more than numbers • Discerning the difference between good opportunities and God's assignment • Staying spiritually balanced through prayer, discernment, and obedience • Encouragement for women who feel their influence is too small to matter • How Abundant TV is creating opportunities for Christian voices to reach the world

#foryou #podcast #funnyshow #laughwithus #motherhood

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Trina Brannen shares her journey from depression, marijuana and alcohol addiction, and spiritual disconnection to a life transformed by God's grace. What began as a way to cope with emotional pain eventually became a dependency that left her feeling isolated and trapped. Through Christian counseling, recovery programs, authentic community, and God's relentless pursuit of her heart, Trina found the freedom she never thought possible.

Together, Vivian and Trina discuss the growing normalization of marijuana use, particularly among women, the challenges of overcoming addiction in a culture that often celebrates it, and the importance of bringing hidden struggles into the light.

Whether you're battling addiction, struggling with depression, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges, this episode is a reminder that healing is possible, shame does not have the final word, and God is still in the business of restoration.

GUEST BIO Trina Brannen was born and raised in Santa Rosa, California, and she loves her hometown. She met her first husband at the age of 14, and that was when she was introduced to marijuana. They married at 19, and by age 26, she had two beautiful kids. She divorced at age 35, then met a new man a few years later. They married and became a blended family of six.

Trina has been a Christian for over 20 years, but over the last 10 years, she has finally begun seeking a deeper relationship with God and learning what it means to surrender her life to Him fully. 

Trina’s journey has not always been easy. She struggled on and off with marijuana addiction for more than 40 years and battled depression for the last 25 years. Through God’s grace, strength, and faithfulness, Trina experienced true freedom and healing in 2026. That transformation has completely changed her life and deepened her passion for encouraging others who may be walking through similar struggles. Her favorite life verse is: "The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." Psalms 145:18

In this episode, you’ll discover: • How to recognize God-ordained transitions and shifts • The role of peace, favor, and discernment in decision-making  • Why healing your story matters before stepping into your purpose • The transformative “mirror exercise” for self-reflection and clarity • Encouragement for women feeling restless or stuck • The importance of boldly sharing your story & living as a disciple in the marketplace

Constantly pouring into everyone else while running on empty, she found herself overwhelmed, weary, and searching for something more than temporary relief.

In this powerful testimony, Diana shares how attending the Burned-Out and Ready for a Better Way small group became a turning point in her life. What began as a step toward healing has now become a passion to help other women recognize that they were never meant to live depleted, disconnected, and barely surviving. Restoration is possible, and Diana wants others to experience it too.

GUEST BIO Diana Williams grew up in a deeply unstable and traumatic environment marked by addiction, abuse, and confusion about identity and belonging. 

As a child and teenager, she struggled with low self-worth, constantly seeking love and validation through performance, relationships, and later substance use, while enduring foster care and family dysfunction. 

Her early adulthood continued in chaos, including an unstable marriage, addiction, and emotional pain, despite moments of resilience like finishing school and becoming a mother. 

A turning point came in her early 30s when, after hitting emotional rock bottom, she sought help through therapy and entered a 12-Step recovery program, committing to a path of sobriety.

Through recovery and faith, Diana began to rebuild her life, developing a relationship with God, healthier boundaries, and a stronger sense of worth and purpose. Today, Diana is a grounded, stable, happy wife, mother, and grandmother who reflects with gratitude on her transformation, finding peace, love, and fulfillment through service, spirituality, music, and meaningful relationships.

In this episode, Vivian Cumins sits down with former journalist turned author and ministry leader, Stephanie Esposito, for a vulnerable look at faith under pressure.   Born out of a grueling season of trial with her son, Stephanie shares the exact moment she stopped praying "safe" prayers and started praying bold ones. By leaning into the scriptural truth that God cannot lie, she put His promises to the ultimate test. 

This conversation is a masterclass in standing confidently on the Word of God, cultivating emotional resilience, and finding the strength to lead your family through the fire.

Tune in to learn how to foster resilience and discover that trusting in the character of a God who cannot lie is the ultimate game-changer for your daily life.

GUEST BIO: Stephanie Esposito grew up spending four nights a week in church. A pastor’s daughter and granddaughter, she ran from ministry and hid in television news—working her way through ABC, NBC, and independent affiliates before landing at Fox 29 in Philadelphia as a reporter on the city’s number-one-rated morning show, Good Day Philadelphia. Her work was frequently featured on the Fox News Network.

Throughout her broadcast career, Stephanie covered major national and international stories, including reporting on Hurricane Sandy from the eye of the storm, winning an Associated Press Award for coverage of a gas explosion in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and interviewing U.S. Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and John McCain. After more than a decade in television, Stephanie found her voice taking on new form. She transitioned into voiceover work while helping launch and build the online ministry of a megachurch—leveraging her storytelling background to communicate truth, authority, and clarity as well as uncovering leadership skills that had been untapped.

Stephanie is the author of The Covering: Spiritual First Aid for Families, a faith-based book rooted in Scripture and written to equip families to pray God’s Word with confidence. She is passionate about teaching believers that God can not lie and that His promises and authority are not symbolic, but meant to be lived and exercised daily.

Even though Vivian’s new book Break Down Better: 52 Restoring Devotionals for Burned-Out Women is aimed at women, Anthony shares why the message resonates deeply with men as well. Together, they explore burnout, balance, caregiving, perfectionism, faith, and the universal need for restoration—no matter your gender.

Anthony opens up about reading a devotional “for women,” the lessons he found inside, and why Break Down Better is a book he believes men can benefit from just as much as women.

GUEST BIO

For Myshel Wilkins, faith has been the foundation of her life. As the daughter of a Ghanaian mother and a missionary father, she grew up leading worship in churches around the world. But it was through personal heartache—years of infertility and eight painful miscarriages—that propelled her to know God’s strength and goodness in a deeper way. 

After college, Myshel toured as a vocalist with top Christian artists, including Mandisa, TobyMac, Matthew West, and Don Moen and was mentored by gospel legend CeCe Winans. But behind the spotlight, Myshel and her husband struggled with the hope of starting a family, even as they faced the heartbreaking possibility it might never happen. 

Myshel believes that experiences with profound grief or loss reveal our true character and beliefs. She cautions that the enemy attacks us with his lies when we are at our most vulnerable. Instead of questioning God's goodness or blaming ourselves, we should choose to "count it all joy" and run to God, trusting him fully, worshipping him passionately, and drawing closer to him than ever before.

In her new book, Arise, Shine & Conquer, Myshel shares true stories of pain, perseverance, and breakthrough. Blending personal testimony with biblical truth, she invites readers into the abundant, victorious life God has promised.

CO-HOSTS:

VIVIAN CUMINS

Vivian Cumins is a writer, speaker, and host of the Juggling Life, Finding Balance Podcast. She is also an Oklahoma native, a career professional, a military spouse, a stepmom to two adult kids, and a “Glammy” to five grandkids. Although her name means “LIVELY” Vivian admits she has not always felt lively. Her need to be perfect and in control led to an unbalanced lifestyle filled with work, self-inflicted stress and illness, depression, and anxiety.

In 2020, after years of striving and mental exhaustion, Vivian rededicated her life to the Lord and vowed to relinquish control and submit to God’s will. Her newfound faith and commitment were immediately put to the test when she had to trust God to provide healing from stage 3 melanoma. Though this was a difficult time, Vivian claims she would not change a thing.

That ‘wilderness’ season, she says, delivered her from a prideful spirit, set her free from captivity, and taught her how to give up control and trust God, embrace imperfection, and recognize, then recalibrate, the unbalance in her life. Today, Vivian not only shares her testimony of preparation and deliverance, but she also provides valuable lessons and helpful tips for actively seeking balance, which starts with making time for God, taking care of yourself, and sprinkling in some good old-fashioned fun

BECCA ROBINSON

Becca is married to her best friend of over 26 years; they have been blessed with three children, three granddaughters, a bonus daughter (daughter-in-law), and a bonus son (son-in-law). She is a writer and co-host of the SisterTalk with Viv & Becca special edition of the Juggling Life, Finding Balance Podcast. 

Over seventeen years ago, her husband joined the Army and gave Becca the honorable title of “military spouse.” Although Becca has a career in health care, she loves being an Army wife and volunteering and mentoring military spouses. Becca also loves to laugh and meet new people. It has been said she makes friends wherever she goes.

GUEST(s) BIO

Sisters Pearl Barrett and Serene Allison’s story started when they wrote a book about food freedom for women and called it Trim Healthy Mama.

It was a self-published book with no expectations, no advertising budget, and no celebrity endorsements. It became a movement as the word caught on and friends shared their success “on plan” with others. Trim Healthy Mama became a best-seller, inspired a viral community, and developed a food line. Now, close to a million people have slimmed down and gained better health eating this way.

They share a passion for healthy eating and both have large, boisterous families and love to experiment in the kitchen on ways to best nourish their families while staying slim and healthy in the process. They are former Christian recording artists who traveled extensively for the record label but relinquished their touring careers to embrace a life at home with children, dinners, dishes, and diapers.

Lorrie loves to travel, hike, run, boat, camp, visit national parks, and do as much as she can outside. 

After Lasik eye surgery left her legally blinded, Lorrie found support from the Lord, her friends, and her family. As a result of the procedure, her corneas melted, and she was left seeing only colors and shapes. Even with the help of large, hard contacts called sclerals, and bifocal glasses, her vision is still seriously compromised.  

Today, Lorrie speaks out on the dangers of unnecessary eye procedures. Lorrie raises awareness by sharing her story of overcoming this life-altering setback and encourages those considering the surgery to do their research. She is also a supporter of those who are suffering severe and permanent complications due to eyesight-correcting procedures.

"For that caregiver that’s feeling overwhelmed and feels like they don’t have any time for themselves, I would encourage them to just try to find and incorporate what I like to call micro-moments of joy.

GUEST BIO

Carrie VomSteeg realizes now that she had an organizing problem back in junior high. Making sure her closet was lined up a certain way and everything in her room had a place felt … peaceful. And right. And normal. Now she helps other people get their spaces in order, bringing calmness and restoring the peace in their homes and businesses. Besides being a decluttering and organizing expert, Carrie is a writer and freelance editor. Maybe someday, she’ll write a book about all things organizing. Or maybe she’ll just think about it while alphabetizing her spices.

Carrie has one husband, two sons, and a new daughter-in-law. She calls Southern California home again, but recently spent 12 years in Mexico with college students and piles of tacos.

His voice and the challenges she faced taught her how to give up control and trust God, embrace imperfection, and recognize, then recalibrate, the unbalance in her life. 

Today, Vivian not only shares her testimony of preparation and deliverance, but she also provides valuable lessons and helpful tips for actively seeking balance, which starts with making time for God, taking care of yourself, and sprinkling in some good old-fashioned fun.

GUEST BIO

Elizabeth Laing Thompson is a speaker, novelist, and the author of many inspirational books for women and teens, including When a Friendship Falls Apart – Finding God’s Path for Healing, Forgiveness, and (Maybe) Help Letting Go, All the Feels, All the Feels for Teens, and the When God Says series. She writes to help others find hope when they're waiting, help when they're hurting, and humor in holiness. Her work has appeared in numerous outlets including Proverbs 31, Power for Living, Focus on the Family Magazine, and Brio Magazine.

After a long struggle with infertility, Elizabeth and her husband, Kevin, became the always exhausted but grateful parents of four children, three of whom are now teenagers. When she's not inhaling Starbucks mochas and plotting her next book, Elizabeth works from home as an editor and church volunteer (that's code for "pastor's wife"), and as a snack maker, couch snuggler, laundry slayer, floor mopper, not-so-gourmet chef, and interpreter-slash-counselor of teenage feelings. She prays the lessons she is learning, trying to wrestle Christ into the chaos of daily life, giving others hope, practical help, and a lot of good laughs.

Vivian and Angela discuss the phenomenon that many of us face, of losing our individual identities within the dynamics of a relationship. Oftentimes it’s easy for us to unintentionally let others determine who we are instead of being tethered to the Lord. One of the many beauties of having a relationship with Jesus is that we don’t have to earn it. You no longer need to be trapped in a cycle of performance and unworthiness, because your worth and identity comes from being created by God, who loves you and wants a relationship with you. Angela reminds listeners that in order to fully comprehend God’s intentions for us, we need to know Him, which requires spending time in prayer and in His Word. The closer we are to God, the more we can understand His heart, and the better we understand who we were created to be.

Growing up, these were the core values that Erika’s parents emulated and instilled in her, and now she is intentional about bringing these to the workplace. In her day to day, this may look like praying before a meeting, uplifting coworkers, or implementing random acts of kindness. She encourages listeners to remember that God is always directing our steps, so all we need to do is trust the process and trust Him, and we will end up where we are meant to be.

We tend to view conflict as detrimental to ourselves and our relationships, but Chris reminds listeners that not all conflict is inherently bad. Oftentimes, when handled well, it can strengthen relationships and improve communication. Moments of conflict are really just conversations, but they escalate when emotions are sparked, usually after one of our values is targeted. Thankfully, the Bible has lots to say about conflict resolution, and Chris pulls from that knowledge and encourages listeners to bring calmness and peace to a tense conversation. To hear more practical advice and tips for approaching conflict resolution, check out this episode!

GUEST BIO:

Dr. Christina Wilson is a Christian Life Coach with a PhD in conflict analysis and resolution. She runs her own coaching business in which she provides pre-marital and relationship coaching, mediation, group facilitation, and Circle process services.

VIVIAN CUMINS

Vivian Cumins is a writer, speaker, and host of the Juggling Life, Finding Balance Podcast. She is also an Oklahoma native, a career professional, a military spouse, a stepmom to two adult kids, and a “Glammy” to five grandkids. Although her name means “LIVELY” Vivian admits she has not always felt lively. Her need to be perfect and in control led to an unbalanced lifestyle filled with work, self-inflicted stress and illness, depression, and anxiety.

In 2020, after years of striving and mental exhaustion, Vivian rededicated her life to the Lord and vowed to relinquish control and submit to God’s will. Her newfound faith and commitment were immediately put to the test when she had to trust God to provide healing from stage 3 melanoma. Though this was a difficult time, Vivian claims she would not change a thing. That ‘wilderness’ season, she says, delivered her from a prideful spirit, set her free from captivity, and taught her how to give up control and trust God, embrace imperfection, and recognize, then recalibrate, the unbalance in her life. Today, Vivian not only shares her testimony of preparation and deliverance, but she also provides valuable lessons and helpful tips for actively seeking balance, which starts with making time for God, taking care of yourself, and sprinkling in some good old-fashioned fun

For many women, divorce can feel like a ditch in which they aren’t sure how exactly they got there and they aren’t sure how to get out. But if they stay in that ditch, they will never get to experience the joys of a life outside of it. Instead of worrying about the why, a newly divorced woman should focus her energy on the what now, and lean into the upward trajectory of the future. While divorce may signal the end of a relationship, it is also the start of a new chapter, full of purpose, passion, and peace. If you find yourself anywhere near the divorce ditch, take heart in knowing that your story is nowhere near over, and the Lord has plans for you to thrive, not just survive. 

GUEST BIO:

Heidi Bee is a certified and trauma-informed divorce coach who established her practice after going through a divorce in 2015.

The Bible tells us that in Christ, our lives can be ones of abundance, because the plans that the Father has for us are far greater than anything we can dream on our own. Many women, including Vivian and Samantha, have found themselves at a point in their lives when they made the decision to surrender their plans for God’s plans. When you make the decision to surrender your life and your direction to Christ, you will receive greater freedom, greater access to the Father, and a greater sense of purpose. And if you have made the decision to follow the Lord’s calling but find yourself in a season of waiting, remember that even in the transition, you are placed on purpose. You are allowed to rest and abide in Christ, knowing that God will bring His work to completion.

GUEST BIO:

Throughout Tamala’s childhood and into her marriage, her life was deeply rooted in tradition and stability, until one day she was faced with an unexpected divorce. Although Tamala knew about God, it wasn’t until the shock of this abandonment that she began to rely wholeheartedly on the Lord, as He was her sole lifeline and strength. As she began pouring into her relationship with God, Tamala’s personal devotions turned quickly into devotions that she shared with friends and family, and ultimately became something that she felt called to author and publish under the title, Starting the Journey: A 30 Day Devotional. 

Vivan and Tamala discuss the fact that it is okay to recognize your pain and stay with it for a bit, but you eventually need to set your eyes on where God is taking you and start moving forward. Tamala explains that she needed to get to a place where she was at peace with the pain, because on this side of eternity, things are never going to be perfect. And yet, in spite of the pain we may feel or the ways in which people may fail us, God will never fail, and His promises are ones that we can stand confidently upon.

GUEST BIO:

Tamala May is a nurse practitioner, author, and speaker from North Dakota, and is also a mother of three children. After facing a sudden experience of pain and abandonment, Tamala began walking even more closely with the Lord, and felt called to turn her personal devotions into a series to help other Christians struggling with resilience. Her book is titled Starting the Journey: A 30 Day Devotional, and is the first volume in an upcoming devotional series. 

When she isn’t writing or speaking, Tamala works in an oncology unit, and provides care and compassion for cancer patients and survivors.

After seeking Scripture, Rachael realized that this internalized belief was a tool that the enemy was using to deter her from God’s true plans for her life. Vivian and Rachael discuss the reality that so many Christian women feel the same way, and believe that their lives and efforts don’t truly matter unless they are successful in one way or another. For many women, this fear or self-doubt prevents them from using the gifts that God has granted them, so Rachael encourages listeners to cherish small beginnings and seek guidance from the Lord. 

God’s love is not contingent on achievement, but He has great plans for His children, and for many, the fear of failure prevents us from beginning anything. Instead of focusing your energy on what you can do, focus on what God is going to do. Ultimately, the things we accomplish are not for personal glory, but should be for the glory of God and the advancement of His Kingdom, and any labor done in and for the Lord is not in vain.

GUEST BIO

On the brink of a failing marriage after becoming a stepmom and blending families with her new husband, Jen knew she had to choose – her way or God’s way. Since her way wasn’t working, she decided to dive deep into God’s Word to find answers. 

Jen Rogers is an inspirational speaker, a Certified Professional Life Coach, and a podcast host. She inspires women throughout the world to remove the shackles of “should” and “shame” to experience the strength, confidence, and boldness that comes from embracing the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Through years of experience as a stepmom, Jenn helps other stepmoms thrive by conquering imposter syndrome so they can stop wrestling with things out of their control and go from burnt out, to in love, with their lives.

Jen is also a recovered certified public accountant who helps startup Christian women entrepreneurs leverage resources so they can stop running around with their hair on fire and have time for the people, places, and play they treasure most. Jen’s taken all she’s gleaned from corporate, her epic resign-firing, and her Stepmama role, squishing them together with love, as she pivoted her podcast and work to Time To Simplify. When she’s not helping others launch a podcast (or coaching Stepmamas on the side), she’s speaking on stages about creating more time each day through leveraging the power of gratitude, planning, creative connections, and secrets of highly successful women entrepreneurs.

CO-HOSTS:

VIVIAN CUMINS

Vivian Cumins is a writer, speaker, and host of the Juggling Life, Finding Balance Podcast. She is also an Oklahoma native, a career professional, a military spouse, a stepmom to two adult kids, and a “Glammy” to five grandkids. Although her name means “LIVELY” Vivian admits she has not always felt lively. Her need to be perfect and in control led to an unbalanced lifestyle filled with work, self-inflicted stress and illness, depression, and anxiety.

In 2020, after years of striving and mental exhaustion, Vivian rededicated her life to the Lord and vowed to relinquish control and submit to God’s will. Her newfound faith and commitment were immediately put to the test when she had to trust God to provide healing from stage 3 melanoma. Though this was a difficult time, Vivian claims she would not change a thing. That ‘wilderness’ season, she says, delivered her from a prideful spirit, set her free from captivity, and taught her how to give up control and trust God, embrace imperfection, and recognize, then recalibrate, the unbalance in her life. Today, Vivian not only shares her testimony of preparation and deliverance, but she also provides valuable lessons and helpful tips for actively seeking balance, which starts with making time for God, taking care of yourself, and sprinkling in some good old-fashioned fun

BECCA ROBINSON

Becca is married to her best friend of over 26 years; they have been blessed with three children,

three granddaughters, a bonus daughter (daughter-in-law), and a bonus son (son-in-law). She is a writer and co-host of the SisterTalk with Viv & Becca special edition of the Juggling Life, Finding Balance Podcast. 

Over seventeen years ago, her husband joined the Army and gave Becca the honorable title of “military spouse.” Although Becca has a career in health care, she loves being an Army wife and volunteering and mentoring military spouses. Becca also loves to laugh and meet new people. It has been said she makes friends wherever she goes.

In this episode, Jenna opens up about her experience reporting abuse and the obstacles she faced in seeking justice. We'll discuss how she channeled her pain into purpose, leading to the creation of House Bill 247, which extends the statute of limitations for reporting sex crimes. Whether you're facing your own struggles or looking to make a difference, this conversation will show you how courage and persistence can truly change lives. 

GUEST BIO:

Jenna Nelson, a resilient single mother of three, including a son with special needs and boy/girl twins, has transformed personal tragedy into a powerful force for change. Despite the demands of family and work, Jenna neglected self-care, leading to a bout of depression and suicidal thoughts. Seeking help through her church, she confronted a long-buried trauma: sexual abuse she had endured as a teenager. Seventeen years after the abuse, Jenna broke her silence. This act of courage became the catalyst for her advocacy work. She spearheaded a legislative bill in Utah that extended the statute of limitations for reporting sex crimes against minors, becoming a fierce champion for survivors.

Jenna's path has been fraught with challenges, fear, and turmoil. As a new Christian, she struggled to find guidance but ultimately discovered her voice and strength. Despite being unable to hold her abuser legally accountable due to existing laws, she channeled her energy into creating change for others. Her tireless efforts included persistent communication with the Attorney General's office, state legislators, county prosecutors, and police.

The unanimous passage of her bill in the Utah State Legislature marked a significant victory, but it didn't end Jenna's fight. She has expanded her advocacy across the nation, confronting attorneys, state representatives, and even victims' advocates who fall short in supporting sexual assault survivors. Her recent work in Texas exemplifies her ongoing commitment. Throughout her journey of healing and advocacy, Jenna attributes her strength and success to her faith in God. Her story is a testament to the power of resilience, faith, and the impact one voice can have in creating meaningful change for many. In every step she credits God.

GUEST BIO

Beth is a proud military spouse of 25 years. She began a relationship with Jesus Christ a few years after she wed her military husband after having participated in a Bible Study. Beth and her husband saw their lives and marriage dramatically transformed by Christ and the Biblical blueprint for marriage, and began sharing that information with other military couples. After 25 years, her husband was ready to retire but they weren’t ready to leave gospel-centered ministry to the military behind. So, they joined Cru Military's staff, a Campus Crusade for Christ division, and moved to Colorado. They work as missionaries to the military and are engaged in ministry to cadets at the Air Force Academy and other ministries to couples and women at the 4 military bases in Colorado Springs.  

Beth completed a master’s degree from Gateway Seminary to better equip her for leading Bible study with military spouses and women. Beth is also publishing a book for military wives called “Another Move, God? 30 Encouragements to Embrace Your Life as a Military Wife” with B & H Publishing in October of 2024.

POWERFUL QUOTE

The Power of Fasting: "It is really the relinquishing for a period of time, whether that's food or today's social media or it's shopping or whatever has your attention. It's releasing that for a period of time, fasting from that, and laying it down so that you can empty yourself and be really attuned to the Holy Spirit and to the Lord and His voice."

GUEST BIO

Christa is a blessed wife, mother of two, and a successful businesswoman, an unexpected author of two books, and a podcaster. She is a woman ignited with a burning passion to walk in the rhythm of God’s plan each day. So much so that in 2022, she took a bold step, bidding goodbye to her long-standing career as a Registered Dietitian at a high-profile food manufacturing company. It wasn’t an easy step, but it was a step of faith, one that led her closer to the purpose God had for her: encouraging others through Christ. Today, Christa owns and operates Christa Joy Ministries where she publishes her own books, hosts a podcast, and writes daily encouragements on her social media.

POWERFUL QUOTE

"My absolute favorite thing to do is when new spouses come into a duty station, especially if it's their first duty, I like to reach out to them and share the ins and outs of this installation and I'm here if you have any questions to help you.I have made so many friends doing this. And it’s just really fulfilling to me to help, because for our first duty station, I didn’t have anyone to do that for me." - Becca Robinson

Vivian Cumins is a writer, speaker, and podcast host who grew up in a small town in Oklahoma. She is also a career professional, a military spouse, a step-mom to two adult kids, and a “Glammy” to five grandkids. Although her name means LIVELY, Vivian admits she has not always felt lively. Her need to be perfect and in control led to an unbalanced lifestyle filled with work, self-inflicted stress and illness, depression, and anxiety. In 2020, after years of striving and mental exhaustion, Vivian rededicated her life to the Lord and vowed to relinquish control and submit to God’s will. Her newfound faith and commitment were immediately put to the test when she had to trust God to provide healing from stage 3 melanoma. Though this was a difficult time, Vivian claims she would not change a thing. That ‘wilderness’ season, she says, delivered her from a prideful spirit and set her free from captivity. It was also during this time that God began speaking to her in dreams. His voice and the challenges she faced taught her how to give up control and trust God, embrace imperfection, and recognize, then recalibrate, the unbalance in her life. Today, Vivian not only shares her testimony of preparation and deliverance, but she also provides valuable lessons and helpful tips for actively seeking balance, which starts with making time for God, taking care of yourself, and sprinkling in some good old-fashioned fun.
