46. John and Betty Stam

What are you listening to in the midst of all the noise?

The world hums with urgency, headlines, and endless voices—yet beneath it all, there is a quieter invitation: to listen for what is true, steady, and unseen.

In this episode, we sit with the weight many are carrying and the sacred practice of tuning our hearts again.

We also step into the story of John and Betty Stam—a story marked by courage, surrender, and a faith that echoes far beyond their years.

A story that asks us: what does it look like to listen… and to trust… with open hands?
