Episode Notes

In this episode, we’re joined by Hannah Aberle, the Kids Ministry Assistant at Northview Church. She previously interned with Megan under Stephen’s leadership and completed a second-year ministry internship as well. With a dual degree in early childhood education and art, Hannah brings creativity and depth to everything she does.

Hannah shares openly about the pain of her parents’ divorce and the difficult years that followed — including a pivotal moment when her dad didn’t show up for their final meeting before she and her mom moved from Minot to Valley City. But this isn’t just a story of brokenness. It’s a powerful testimony of how God began to soften her heart, reshape her understanding of forgiveness, and lead her toward healing. Even when nothing else changed, forgiveness opened the door to freedom — and eventually, God began restoring her relationship with her dad.

It’s a vulnerable, hope-filled conversation about faith, healing, and the grace of God.
