The Something Better Podcast

Married at 25 with a successful career and a propensity for travel, Tiffany Nicole thought she had found her happily ever after. What she discovered though, after her husband left her for another woman, was that something significant had been missing from her life the whole time.

In episode 17, listen as Tiffany shares about the only thing that truly filled the void in her heart and gave her life purpose: Jesus.

Growing up, author and speaker Mary DeMuth was no stranger to hurt. Her traumatic upbringing - filled with sexual assault, loss, brokenness - shaped how she viewed herself and the world around her. Everything changed when Mary found hope and family in the one person who was stronger than the pain she'd experienced: Jesus.

In this episode, listen to Mary share how she went from loneliness and hurt to a life filled with family and purpose when she met Jesus for the first time.

After his Christian wife invited him to her church, Nasser experienced a life-changing vision of Jesus that led him to leave his Muslim faith. After intensive soul-searching and deep contemplation, Nasser made the decision to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and experienced both the personal and familial impacts of his decision.

Listen to part two of When Your World Changes as Nasser discusses what ultimately led him to follow Jesus and how that decision brought incomparable peace and love into his life.

Moving from Saudi Arabia to the United States when he was young, Nasser landed in a new school, a new country, and a new culture that was vastly different from what he had known. Nasser - a devoted Muslim - navigated these changes with a firm grasp on his faith. When he married his wife, a Christian, his life and faith would begin to change in ways he never expected.

In part one of this two-part episode, Nasser takes us on the beginning of his journey through a new culture and how his identity as a Muslim impacted the way he viewed himself and the world around him.

Meet Orion, a student at the University of North Texas studying ecology!

Like many of us, Orion struggled with a desire to please people and prove her worth through her accomplishments. Growing up without much emotional support from family and others around her, she longed for true relationships, facing social anxiety and getting caught in the trap of seeking approval from others. She found herself stuck in a cycle of eating disorders and unhealthy coping mechanisms, fighting to find a sense of control and value.

Listen to Orion's story, and learn how she was able to let go of her anxieties and find a meaningful, unfailing relationship - one that would support her and show her unconditional love and reassurance, even in a world that seems like it's spinning out of control.
