Listen "How We Met: Our Love Story from Kansas to Kauai | Ep. 23"
Episode Synopsis
It all started with a cliff jump, a voicemail, and a Kansas boy on a Hawaiian beach…
In this episode, Bethany Hamilton and Adam Dirks invite listeners into the behind-the-scenes story of how they met, dated, and got married. From a surprise phone call and a cliff jump at Shipwreck Beach, to long-distance Zoom dates and a proposal in a secret Hawaiian garden, this is a story marked by God’s providence, adventure, and intentionality!
Bethany and Adam share candidly about their early fears, funny moments (like Adam’s “kooky” surf sessions), cultural differences, and the joy of building a relationship grounded in faith. Along the way, they reflect on Proverbs 3:5–6 and how trusting God, even when the path ahead seems unclear, led them to each other.
This one’s packed with funny stories, sweet memories, and honest reflections on what it means to build a relationship on God’s foundation.
Mentioned in this episode:
Proverbs 3:5–6 and Proverbs 16:3
