Two years ago, Tveen Verano’s youngest son, Alex, caught what seemed like a routine virus. But when weeks passed without recovery, a hospital visit revealed the unthinkable: stage 4 leukemia and neuroblastoma.

Their world shifted overnight to chemo treatments and constant uncertainty. While their community showered them with support and reminded them that children are resilient, the family was traumatized. In the middle of fear and exhaustion, Tveen and her husband made a deliberate choice to invite joy and peace into their home, as Alex bravely powered through treatment.

Today, Alex is in remission, completely cancer free.
Theirs is a story of resilience, faith, and a family who chose hope in the hardest season of their lives.

Crown of Beauty International: EMPOWERING WOMEN AROUND THE WORLD WITH GOD'S TRUTH!

Special guest Maureen Carrott recalls the impression the book The Hiding Place had on her as a 13-year-old girl. Corrie Ten Boom, the author, was imprisoned in a concentration camp alongside her sister Betsie. Betsie suggested they give thanks to God for the fleas that nipped painfully at their skin.

Other stories, like the biblical story of Joseph, also instilled within Maureen that gratitude should transcend circumstances. As this episode is airing, wife, mother, grandmother, friend to many around the world, and missionary Maureen went home to be with the Lord on December 16, 2025.

She began Crown of Beauty ministry with Sue Corl in 2005 in East Asia. They served together for seven years, and then several mission trips afterward. From the beginning, Maureen insisted that we offer one-on-one or small group prayer counseling at each conference. Most say that this is the highlight of each conference. Her honest, Christ-centered, vulnerable, joyful spirit and love for everyone we served brought healing to women wherever she went. Sue could not have pioneered this ministry without her.

As Sue's best friend, their ministry to the Chinese, Thai Karen, Lebanese, English, and Ugandan women was truly one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences of their lives. Though Maureen left us earlier than any of us would have wanted, we know that her infectious laughter, deep worship and love of God, and deep connection with people is blessing those who have gone before us!

Ephesians 5:20: "Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ".

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Maureen Carrott.

Dave Wiedis, founder of ServingLeaders Ministries, is an internationally renown expert in leadership and relational mediation. Dave asserts that spiritual maturity and emotional maturity are inextricably linked, and that adeptness in both categories is necessary to steward both personal relationships and our communities as a whole.

Dave's theory involves the idea that we all have a "ruling passion" that tends to undermine God's Lordship in our life, and we must both identify and subvert that ruling passion with the love of God with all our mind, heart, body and soul.

Most parents wonder when to introduce their children to the concept of spiritual warfare--it feels too heavy a topic to tackle so young. Jennifer Bosma's father told her candidly that her fear was "just the devil" at the fresh age of 8. Adults tend to underestimate just how perceptive children already are to realities of good and evil without yet having the language to articulate it.

When you speak truth gently and incrementally to your children, you are building the foundation of faith with the tools to navigate warfare with clarity and wisdom. Jennifer also encourages us to begin declaring scripture over our children and circumstances!

Jennifer is a children's book author and host of The Front Parking Spot podcast.

Setting New Year's resolutions is a fun tradition, but the follow-through requires discipline. Guest Tamara Crump shares a few tips and tricks with us to set resolutions that are not only attainable, but that are in alignment with God's plan for us. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"

This verse reminds us that life doesn't always go according to our plans, but if we align ourselves with God's heart, he will reveal his good and perfect will for our year!

May you have a blessed, peaceful and purposeful 2026.
