In this inspiring episode of Echos of Impact, Cherise sits down with Nikki Vivas, beloved Kansas City radio personality, to talk about what it means to trust God when life takes an unexpected turn. Nikki is a longtime radio host known not only for her voice on air but also for her boldness in sharing her faith in spaces where it wasn’t always welcomed.

Nikki shares how losing her dream job—the morning show she built for years—forced her into a season of drought and waiting. Yet even in the midst of grief, Nikki is choosing to trust that God is not done writing her story. Together, Cherise and Nikki dive deep into identity, waiting seasons, and the power of holding on to hope when everything feels uncertain.
