Stories of our Faith

Our Spectrum Church community has been encouraged to write, share and remember how God is working in our lives through a then/now series. This is a way to share our testimonies and acknowledge how God is moving all around us. We hope this encourages both the reader and the sharer in their walks of faith. Or, if you have a story you would like to share, please contact info@spectrumchurchirvine.org.

Jacoby Family 🤍 | Then vs. Now

Ten years ago, saying yes to Jesus meant marriage, adventure, and big dreams. Along the way came loss, grief, and the hard question: Is Jesus still enough?
God met us there—bringing beauty from ashes and faith that runs deeper than circumstances.

Noah's Story, Then vs. Now

Ten years ago, trusting God meant understanding that He loved me unconditionally – even when I messed up. During that season, I struggled with fitting in and often sought attention from my friends. Today, trusting God looks different. It looks like confessing my daily need for His love, grounded in the salvation I have in Him. I've learned that faith isn't about what I can do for God, but about what He has done for me – for 26 years and counting. 

"It is written: 'I believed; therefore, I have spoken.' Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak."  2 Corinthians 4:13 NIV
