Michelle Stewart

Welcome to ONE. In each episode Robert interviews ONE Christian to hear their story. Join us in learning about the ONE body of Christ, ONE story at a time. Visit https://www.northpark.com/one for links to the audio-only PODCAST on your favorite podcast platform.

 

In Episode 13, we talk with Michelle Stewart. She and Jeff have two kids, a boy in college and a girl in Jr. High. Michelle is well-known to many at NorthPark not only because they were at NorthPark for about ten years before moving to Chicago in 2010 (and then returning to Santa Clarita and NorthPark in 2017) but also because Michelle has a gorgeous voice and sings on the Worship Team.  Join us as Michelle shares about the interplay between her faith and living with the affliction of anxiety and depression. Anyone who’s walked this path or has a loved one or friend who’s walked this path will resonate with Michelle’s journey. Listen as Michelle describes the roles played by Christ, Christian community, and her church (“the 3 C’s” as she puts it) in helping her through some very dark valleys and deepening her faith in Christ because of the trials. Also, if you’ve ever faced severe financial struggles, and faced the challenge of being uprooted to move across the country as a result, then you’ll want to hear Michelle’s story. She shares their family’s experience of the ‘Great Recession’ and how the Lord led them to Chicago where He rebuilt their lives, grew their faith, and enabled them to flourish, things that were impossible to see in the darkness when the bottom fell out of the economy and their personal finances. Join us in a substantive conversation about faith in the realities of life. You’ll be blessed by Michelle’s transparency, sincerity, and laughter as she drives home the point that the gospel is our real source of hope at all times.
