Why We Believe in Testimonies
If this ministry isn’t impacting lives and changing them for the better, you shouldn’t waste your time here. The following people tell about their experience with Salty and how it has made a difference in their relationship with God and how it fundamentally changed the way they live.
Realization, Growth, and Community
I started coming to Salty in September 2019. Before Salty I thought I knew God and had a relationship with him. But soon after I started going I realized that I only knew of God, I didn’t really have a relationship with him. Salty has allowed me to become more comfortable in my relationship with God and Jesus. I am now able to confidently see God in the Throne room and Jesus in the spiritual realm, as well as listen for God when I need to ask him something. Salty has not only brought me a better relationship with the Lord but it has also brought me a group of amazing people that love God just as much as I do! I am thankful for Salty because if I never would have joined then I would not have the relationships that I do today!
The Best Thing Ever
My walk with God started as a fact finding mission. I was tired of being confused when my pastor referenced Bible stories and people. Ladies’ Bible study gave me the foundation I needed to grow my relationship with God. Salty showed me that God is real. He’s alive and watching over me. I can talk with Him, look at Him and hear Him. His spirit lives in me and guides me. This is the best thing ever.
Filling The Void
Being a Christian all of my life I thought I was doing all of the right things in my walk with Christ. After graduating college I had this void I wanted to fill in my walk. I started going to church every Sunday and then eventually joined the women’s bible study yearning to fill that void. Little did I know God was leading me to just where I needed to be! Joining the bible study led me to meeting Tiffany in my small group and then meeting her Aunt Deanna. Deanna and The Salty Community have taken my relationship to a level I never knew I could have. Being able to experience God and Jesus in a close and comfortable relationship brings so much joy to my life. I am so very thankful to be a part of the Salty Community.
Redeemed
Many years ago while I was living in California, I experienced a horrible event that lasted 7 hours. Through my faith and God’s Word, I prayed and knew that Jesus was with me but I didn’t know I would be able to achieve complete trust and faith in Jesus until I met my friend Deanna. She was teaching bible study at the church I was attending, put me in her small group, and has kept me by her side ever since. Immediately I was challenged to get out of my comfort zone. She invited me to join a group that was focused on building and strengthening my relationship with God. I jumped in and this was the beginning of my Salty discipleship. With time, practiced activities, and staying in the Word, my relationship with God rose to a whole new level. I experienced His Throne Room and His presence with such intensity. I can hear the Holy Spirit clearly and I am completely comfortable speaking with Him through prayer and worship. I am positive I never would have reached this level of trust and faith in Jesus without Salty and its investment in me.
When My Prayers Stopped
Bouncing Off the Ceiling
Three years ago, I was confused. I had a bible, but never read it. I wanted to understand the stories my pastor referenced on Sunday mornings, so I joined Ladies Bible Study at my church. Deanna and Colleen were leading and teaching. A couple of years later, I was invited to a small gathering of women to discuss our relationship with God. I had heard of people praying about decisions and getting a word from God, but I had no clue what that meant. Hearing from God? Does that really happen? YES! How does that work? Salty taught me how that works. God is real and I know Him! Without the knowledge I've gained from Salty, I would still be praying to the ceiling instead of talking to Jesus!
Growing Up Salty
Hi, my name is Brooke Koehl, yes Koehl as in Deanna Koehl. I am her daughter. I’ve been able to see in the spirit realm and have that kind of relationship since I was little. With Salty however I’ve not only gotten to strengthen my relationship but I can do it with a community. God is constantly growing and pushing us all together. We help each other grow and encourage each other. That’s what I love so much about Salty!
