Description

In this deeply moving episode, we sit down with Keith and Misti Sammons—two individuals who turned unimaginable grief into a mission of hope. After losing their spouses (Keith to cancer and Misti in a tragic plane crash), their separate journeys of healing eventually brought them together through what can only be described as a divine appointment.

Together, they now minister to others navigating grief, loss, and hardship. From spontaneous spiritual clarity to real-life miracles, Keith and Misti share how their faith, community, and resilience helped them live and love again. We talk about the power of forward-thinking, the Happy Shoes Project (their ministry supporting cancer patients), and their upcoming book that captures their journey of heartbreak to healing.

This episode reminds us that no matter what we’re walking through, healing is possible—and purpose can rise from the ashes of pain.
