Recent podcast with Dwight & Marilee Johnson:

[gpd]

Just when you made a resolution not to cry on the podcast... God gives you two of the most emotional life happenings. It's a blessing to love deeply. 💞 Congrats on the birth of your 6th!

[dailyoccasions]

This was such a tender, intimate and loving moment you two shared.

Thank you.

HE knows and He is at work❤️🙏

Oh my goodness I had no clue you had any relation to Bend Soap. I absolutely love their products. I love seeing their family card that comes in each order. I will be praying over their family. Also congratulations on the new baby. I just had my first miscarriage after 4 healthy babies and it has shaken me so hard. It has made news of each child so much more meaningful to me now. The joy for others softens the pain I'm currently feeling. My only hope is faith in our Lord and the peace He gives. I hope your aunt and her children can feel it to. I can't imagine the heaviness of sorrow and grief they are experiencing. May the Lord comfort them on this Earth until they go to Heaven and see their father again.

[SavedBySweetGrace]

Wow I am in tears. I am so sorry for your loss. Sounds like he was an incredible man. Praying for your whole family!

Give yourselves lots of grace as you experience postpartum life and grief. Lyman will be a huge blessing and he will also be okay if you aren’t at 100% for a while. ❤

My dad died at 50. Very unexpectedly.. such a tragic time in my life. I’m so sorry for his children and wife. I’ve walked through the grief and it literally takes the breath out of you. 😢

[midlifethrive]

You guys did a fantastic and beautiful job with this, I have been waking up in the midst of the night praying for Mariles and family. The lesson you pulled out of such a tragic family event is beautiful to hear, the reminder that Katie shared in "where is our faith" was so good and so special. we are praying for you guys as well ❤

[cwells]

That is so heartbreaking 😥 I remember watching the podcast with him and his wife not long ago. I'm praying for peace and strength for you all in the days ahead ❤️

[meganrosaa]

[emilyblaisdell]

I'm so incredibly sorry for the unexpected loss of your Uncle Dwight. How devastating for his wife, children, and all
that loved him. Congratulations on baby Lyman! Enjoy every newborn moment. Praying for peace.

[snowymountainmama]

What a beautiful, and heartbreaking, video….the way you both spoke on these two big experiences was navigated with love and grace….I’m so sorry for the void left behind in so many peoples lives from the passing of your wonderful uncle, but wow, what a beautiful human being he was and that lasting impression and legacy will live on forever. Congratulations on your newest addition with baby #6! Lyman, what a strong name! Life is so full of ups and downs, and this video shows your maturity in your faith as you are experiencing both at the same time. God bless you and your family.

[AmandaKoppana]

I am so sorry for your loss. I am praying for you all. Dwight and Marilee have been an inspiration to my husband and I.

[BreyonnaLowery]

Thank you for sharing glimpses of your life with us Katie and Elisha. Losing a loved one who knows the Lord is filled with much sadness but joy as well. Knowing that they are with the Lord brings such beautiful warmth and comfort. But the loss of them here on earth is felt very deeply. May the Lord's gentle loving arms embrace your family as you mourn and grieve. O what a friend the Lord is. Ever present help in times of trouble. Blessings to you both and your little ones.

[lesliedeleon]

Congratulations Katie! Very happy to see you! To God be the Glory!

[LovingAbundantLife]

Usually I don’t comment but given the most recent events I feel inclined to share with you that your episode with your aunt and uncle was so inspiring I listened to it twice. Quite like Elijah was describing the impression they made was big. It was inspiring and a testimony to what the Lord can do in a life and in a family. Since hearing the news I have been praying psalm 59:16 for your aunt and her children. Seemingly strangers in real life but I feel a desire to pray over them. How gracious of God to introduce me to them and be able to pray for their family in a time of need.

Psalm 59:16 “But I will sing of your strength; I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning. For you have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭59‬:‭16‬ ‭ESV‬‬
