Special guest Barron Ryan’s love for music has always been divided. The son of two musicians, he grew up in a house filled with the sounds of artists ranging from Mozart to Motown. So when it comes to his own work, he’s not content drawing on just one influence. He combines them all into a musical adventure that’s vintage yet fresh, historical yet hip, classic yet cool.  Barron published his first book in 2023. Honey, If It Wasn’t for You, is an illustrated storybook which tells the story of a song Barron finished for a widow whose composer husband began but was not able to complete.


You will be lifted up and encouraged by Barron's ability to tell stories through his music.  Learn more about Barron at https://www.barronryan.com.

WIDOW DINNER VIDEO TESTIMONY 

The Bible commands us to “plead for the widow”.  Too often, the perception is that once a funeral is over and a widow begins to appear to have regained normality in her life no need exists for her care.  Nothing can be further from the truth.  Being a widow does not have to mean being alone.

Widows are hurting deeply one year, two years and even ten years plus.  In our Widow Fellowship Groups, there is no directing, counseling, steering toward a predetermined goal, no manipulation, no fixing — just a complete reliance on God to work.

“No one can comfort a widow like another widow. When we see another woman enter this experience…we want to comfort her.” - Miriam Neff
