How do you hold onto the memory of God’s faithfulness when life moves on and new challenges arise?
Jaime and Alana explore the biblical concept of raising an “Ebenezer”—a tangible monument or stone of help that declares, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.”
While it’s easy to experience an answered prayer or a miraculous breakthrough and quickly move on to putting out the next fire, Scripture repeatedly shows God’s people setting up physical memorials to remember what He has done. The co-hosts unpack the stories of Samuel’s stone of help and the twelve polished stones pulled from the Jordan River, looking at how tangible reminders not only anchor our own faith during hard seasons, but also serve as natural conversation starters to pass our testimonies down to our children.
Through personal stories and everyday examples—from prayer journals, Christmas ornaments, and cross-country bibs to writing Bible verses on bare concrete floors after an Alaskan earthquake—Jaime and Alana share practical ways to create spiritual mileposts in your own home. Alana addresses the tension between celebrating accomplishments and false humility, while Jaime reflects on using physical prompts to persevere in prayer, intentional family reflection, and even the question of whether tattoos can serve as modern-day Ebenezers.
Together, they encourage us to surround ourselves with reminders of God’s goodness so we never forget how far He has brought us. Whether you’re looking for creative ways to share your faith story with your kids, needing encouragement to trust God with a new obstacle, or wanting to build a habit of reflection and gratitude, we hope this episode inspires you to look back on God’s faithfulness with fresh eyes and confidence for the road ahead.
