• S6 Ep 8 Nancy Mulemwa Siisii -Single Parenting in the Diaspora

  What are some of the biggest challenges you face as a single parent? - The challenges we face can be profound and often indescribable. Each day brings its own set of silent battles that test our resilience and strength. For instance, after my separation, the support I once relied on vanished. If you have children under five, you know they’re always getting sick, and as a working mother, I found myself constantly calling out of work, worrying about my job and the example I was setting for my team.   -Remember, God sees your struggles and hears your prayers. He provides for our needs, often in ways we don’t expect. Trust in His provision and embrace the lessons that come from these challenges. Your honesty with your children is a powerful lesson in faith and resilience.   Contact/Follow Concrete Pastures [email protected]   APVA Nominee Buy our Merchandise Concrete Pastures t-shirts https://vetclothing.com/collections/sponsermerch/products/concrete-pastures-t-shirt   Sponsored by Betterhelp-Go https://betterhelp.com/concretepastures for 10% off your first month of therapy with BetterHelp and get matched with a therapist who will listen and help in as little as 48 hours.

• S6 EP 6 Redemption on the Pitch: Khallil Lambin's Journey from Footballer to Faith

  Khallil Lambin is a former professional footballer and ex-Muslim whose life was radically transformed by Jesus Christ. Born with a deep passion for the beautiful game, he spent over a decade playing football across Europe, Asia, and the UK. Though he experienced success on the pitch, Khallil found himself unfulfilled—searching for something fame, travel, and trophies couldn’t satisfy. Everything changed through a life-altering encounter with Jesus. Today, Khallil is no longer defined by his football career but by his identity as a disciple of Christ. His mission is clear: to make disciples who make disciples, living in full obedience to the Great Commission. Now an ambassador of the Gospel, Khallil lives with authenticity and boldness, driven by a passion for the nations and a desire to see lives transformed. Whether mentoring young believers, teaching the Word, or sharing his testimony, he seeks to inspire others to discover true identity, freedom, and purpose in Jesus. Through every season, Khallil’s heart burns to see people encounter the love of God and walk in their divine calling. His journey is a testimony of redemption, purpose, and the power of a surrendered life.
