Host, David Sretenovic, welcomes Kym Dickman, a long-time friend and mother of his high school mate. David and Kym go back in time to 1995 - a significant turning point in her life when her father had surprisingly come to faith - and even further back as Kym's life and experiences are shared. This chat evokes memories from throughout Kym's fascinating life, including a miracle of healing when she was a young girl with Epstein Barr disease. Other topics include parenting styles, hearing God in day-to-day activities, and using her experience of co-dependency to minister to others.

34:50 - three days of experiencing God closely as a high school student at Cavendish Road State High School.
37:45 - religion in Kym's adult life, since meeting her husband-to-be Greg: "he had a sense from God that he was to marry me, when he was only 12 years old"; "My spiritual walk with God has been stronger than my connection with my husband. It's the strongest thing in my life....My connection with God was what drove my parenting style, my teaching style, everything."
42:35 - Parenting: "My view of our children ... I viewed them as the adults they are today, right from the start. I saw the potentiality of what God was intending to bring them to."
