Episode Synopsis

Send us a textOn this special episode of Courageous Crossroads, Jeff Johnson welcomes Ariel Forsberg, a resilient and deeply grounded woman whose story of faith, family, and fearless commitment is both inspiring and refreshingly authentic. Ariel lives with her husband and four children on the North Shore of Oahu, in a sugarcane plantation home just a stone’s throw from the beach, where feral roosters roam and the rhythm of life reflects old-school simplicity and deep spiritual conviction. A self-described “old-school hippie,” Ariel homeschools her children, tends to theirhomestead lifestyle, and believes in going back to the roots of healthy, intentional living—from making homemade tallow-based shampoo to cultivating family values rooted in faith and independence. Raised in a tight-knit pastor’s family in rural Colorado, Ariel's courageous journey includes marrying Drew, a Navy SEAL, facing long deployments and seasons of isolation, and raising young children without extended family nearby. In this heartfelt conversation, she reflects on what it means to be courageous as a mother, wife, and believer and shares how God hasshaped her life through seasons of change, trust, and steadfast love.Thank you for listening!
