The Redbirds in Our Winter

This week in our Summer Shorts series, we’re answering a listener question that took us back to one of the hardest seasons of our lives: What were some of the small things people did that made the biggest difference while we were walking through our marriage crisis?

When everything around us felt cold and uncertain, God placed “redbirds” in our path—people who simply showed up. They didn’t always have the perfect words. They didn’t try to fix us. They listened, encouraged us, invited us to dinner, sat with us in church, and reminded us that we weren’t alone.

Looking back, those simple acts of kindness became some of the greatest gifts God used in our healing. In this episode, we share several of those stories and talk about why you don’t have to have all the answers to make a lasting impact in someone’s life. Sometimes the greatest ministry is simply being present.

If you know someone walking through a difficult season, we hope this episode reminds you that a small act of love can become something they’ll never forget.
