Beauty From Ashes: Maui Locals Share How To Help Those Affected By The Maui Fires | Ep. 22

Let's Unpack That with Alex & Grace | Christian Life Coaches, Faith At Work, Soul Care, Kingdom Leaders, God-Centered Professionals, Biblical Career Advice

How can we navigate tragedy with both grief and hope?
In this special episode, we sit down with house church pastors (and first-ever couple on the podcast) Jared and Candace Madamba, as they share their personal experiences of the Maui fires and how they've been processing everything going on - but also the opportunities and signs of hope they see, even amidst the heaviness of tragedy.
Whether you're looking for ways to help those affected by the Maui fires, or simply want to be inspired by real-life examples of how to find hope and redemption in the midst of darkness, we invite you to join us for this candid conversation as we explore the unshakable power of faith and the Ohana spirit that we're called to embody anywhere we are in the world.
