In this heartfelt episode of He Speaks with Kate, Kate sits down with her adult son, Jordan, to talk about God's faithfulness through life's most difficult and unexpected seasons.

Jordan shares the impact of losing his father suddenly at just seven years old and how he experienced God's provision and care throughout the years that followed. He also opens up about walking away from church during high school and college, spending seven years away from the faith before God lovingly drew him back.

Along the way, Jordan recounts a powerful moment when he sensed God clearly prompting him to buy food for a homeless man named Micah. What happened next became a reminder that obedience often blesses the giver just as much as the receiver.

This conversation is a testimony of God's pursuit, provision, and faithfulness—and an encouragement to listen when He speaks.

Main Takeaway: No matter how far you've wandered or what you've walked through, God is faithful to pursue you, provide for you, and guide you back to Himself. Sometimes His voice is heard most clearly through simple acts of obedience.
