Every Day Matters w/ Pastor Jeff Simmons

In this heartfelt episode of the Every Day Matters podcast, Pastor Jeff welcomes bestselling author, Karen Kingsbury, to share her powerful testimony of coming to faith and how God has used her writing to inspire hope and transformation. From a surprising first encounter with the Bible to a life-changing moment in a bookstore parking lot, Karen’s journey highlights the relentless grace of God and the beauty of spiritual awakening.

Karen opens up about her family, her calling as a storyteller, and the deep impact of not giving up on others. She shares emotional moments, including her brother’s late-in-life salvation. She also discusses the heart behind her ministry tools, like the “You Were Seen” cards, and how small acts of faith can lead to eternal impact.

This conversation is a reminder that every day counts. Karen encourages us to live with purpose by loving well, laughing often, looking for the miracles, and pointing people to Jesus. It’s a beautiful invitation to make the most of today and leave a legacy that glorifies God.
