Show notes

On this episode of One at a Time, Kyle talks with Dennis and Lori Brooks about praying big prayers. Dennis and Lori were at a time in their lives when many people start thinking about becoming empty nesters. They had older kids going off to college, and their youngest was eight. But God had plans for them. They found themselves called to open their home to foster care and adoption. Through a series of ups and downs, they fostered and adopted two beautiful girls, Lizzy and Treasure. When Lizzy received a cancer diagnosis, their whole lives turned upside down and God taught them what it truly meant to pray big prayers. Learn more about Lizzy's battle against Wilms Tumor here.

Redeem The Screen: Screen Door Oct 04, 2019

Show notes

On this episode of One at a Time, Kyle Idleman sits down with Brock O'Dell to talk about a subject that affects more households that you might think: pornography. Brock struggled for several years – starting as a teenager – with an addiction to porn, and over the years, learned to fight the good fight and resist the temptation. As Brock puts it, people aren't just searching for porn, porn is searching for them too. Recognizing this, we need to learn how to talk about it. In this conversation, you'll hear about how kids discover porn, the damage it does, and the paths of grace that lead away from it.

Redeem The Screen: Smokescreen Sep 24, 2019

Show notes

How should we think about our social media habits? What good can come from them, and what harm? On this episode, Kyle sits down with Andrea Amettis and Meg Rich, two people with very, very different social media habits, to discuss the ways that social media can be used for good and bad purposes. They talk about why Andrea has given most of the platforms up, and why Meg has stayed engaged online. It's a challenging conversation that will give you the opportunity to reflect on your own habits, and the ways God might be able to use you as a source of encouragement for others when you're online.

The Boyd Family - How do I make the most of the opportunities God gives me in life? May 07, 2019

Show notes

On today's episode, I'm going to share a little of the story of my friends, The Boyd Family. We're going to wrestle with the question, "How do I make the most of the opportunities God gives me in life?" You may know the Boyd Family better as Infinity Song, the music group made up of a number of the Boyd kids, or you may know the music of Victory Boyd, who has a solo record out. We've had Victory out to our church a few times, and there is something transcendent about her music and talent. We're going to look at how they've stewarded the talent God has given them, and I'm sure you'll want to hear more of their music when the interview is over.

Mary Francis - How can I help? Apr 23, 2019

Show notes

Please note that this episode discusses the reality of human trafficking, the adult entertainment industry, and the sex industry. You won't want to listen to it with young children. At the fringes of our culture, there are human beings—people made in the image of God—living in a darkness that is hard to imagine. For most of her life, that's where Mary Francis lived. She was born in Louisville, the last of 15 children, and she moved from one poor neighborhood to another as a kid. Her parents split up, and they passed her back and forth. At fifteen, she went to live with her father, but she was really alone on the streets, vulnerable to people who would take advantage of her. That summer, a man who had originally shown her kindness by showing her attention and buying her ice cream had his sights on exploiting her, which he did for many years. This man took her from one establishment to another, where men used Mary and humiliated her. Even when she finally got free of this man, she found herself trapped in the sex industry, where she stayed for thirty-five years. She knew nothing else, and had no safety outside of this man, to whom she returned. Her story is deeply sad, but filled with profound redemption. Through the kindness of strangers, God drew Mary to him, and now she uses her story to help others. Usually, we try to understand someone's story through a question, but for today's episode, I want you to ask yourself the question a stranger asked Mary - "What can I do to help?"

Jordan & Jessica Rice - How does God lead me through darkness? Apr 16, 2019

Show notes

Most pastors I know didn't plan on becoming a pastor. There's usually a story connected to it of how God unexpectedly led them down that path. A number of years ago, I saw that our church was getting ready to plant a new church in Harlem, New York called Renaissance Church. That's when I first heard the name Jordan Rice. He was going to be the lead pastor. Like other pastors I know, he didn't plan on becoming a pastor, but his story is unlike any story I've ever heard. He grew up in a home full of lawyers, and he was headed that way, trying to avoid being a pastor of a church. But on April 15, 2010, Jordan heard Tim Keller speak at Calvary Baptist Church in New York. Keller's sermon, titled God Loves Cities, painted a picture of cities that compelled Jordan to do something. He was practicing family law, but as soon as he heard the sermon, he knew the law was behind him. By June, his wife, whom he'd recently married, became sick. This began a journey of profound loss and confusion that ultimately became a beautiful story of redemption. At the heart of it, you'll hear of a God who calls and a God who cares for us in the midst of dark moments. Today, we'll wrestle with the question of, "How does God lead me through darkness?"

Tony Cash - Can I Really Change? Apr 09, 2019

Show notes

From age 11 to age 49, Tony Cash spent 36 years in prison, much of it in solitary confinement. He was fearless of crime and consequences, and his world was made of violence and chaos. For many people, this is just how life is; they don't know anything else. You can feel trapped inside an ever-deepening well, and even when your heart and mind long for things to be different, there doesn't appear to be a way out.

For Tony, there wasn't an easy way out… but there was a light. In the harsh world of crime and prison, Tony found Jesus and slowly but surely, Jesus began to guide him into a new way of life – a life that has led dozens of others to Jesus as well. Tune in to Tony's story as we ask the question, "Can I really change?"
