Finding God in Prison: Interview with Scott Harman Jan 18, 2024

Show notes

Scott Harman is one of the most genuinely kind people you could ever meet - his love for the gospel and his friendship with God are shown clearly just by being in his presence. You would never guess that the man he is today has everything to do with who he decided to become while in prison for nearly seven years.
Beginning with childhood sexual abuse, an introduction to alcohol in his teens, and starting hard drugs as an adult, Scott's life story is one of intense hardship, pain, and suffering but provides powerful proof of God's divine love and Christ's ability to redeem us from sin and darkness. Scott himself is proof of the hope that only God can give to those who earnestly choose Him.

As a well-known and extremely talented photographer, Mark Owens has travelled the world and worked with many rich, famous, and powerful people.

J Benjamin Lyne Believes in You Dec 21, 2023

Show notes

In the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, social and civil unrest, and what felt like a worldwide depression, J Benjamin Lyne decided to make a small sign that he would carry with him on his neighborhood run. The sign reads "I believe in you" and has changed the lives of many people who have seen Him running through various cities and marathons with the sign held high above his head.
Through his experiences with losing his parents at a young age and suffering abuse at the hands of the family that took him in, Ben has developed a love of God that allows him to push through opposition and negativity and live for the opportunity to do good for others - no matter how big or small.

Strengthening Marriage & Faith Through Tragedy with Nathan & Heather Ogden Dec 14, 2023

Show notes

Back in 2001, Nathan and Heather Ogden's life was exactly where they wanted it to be. Enjoying success at work, a happy marriage, and a growing family - they couldn't ask for more! But when tragic accidents left Nathan paralyzed from the neck down, suddenly the life they sought and even expected was changed irreversibly. What do you do when life seems to fall apart and there is no easy way to fix every new problem and challenge facing you and your family? If you ask the Ogden's, the answer is to believe.
In the face of their unbelievable tragedy and odds stacked high against them, the Ogden's held onto faith and chose to push hopefully onward into their new lives - even starting a foundation, Chair the Hope, which provides wheelchairs to less fortunate individuals and communities all over the world. Through humor, turning outward and serving others, and their love of each other, their family, and God, the Ogden's life is a true example of the gospel in action.

You Can't Handle All of God's Love! Interview with Danor Gerald Dec 07, 2023

Show notes

Danor Gerlad is a husband, father, filmmaker, and actor who co-hosts Roots, Race, & Culture on PBS Utah.
In Danor's many experiences with answered prayers, finding joy in work and service, and remembering all that God has done for him, he has learned for himself that we are deeply unprepared to handle all of God's love and kindness to us. However, by putting in the work to prioritize our Heavenly Father and creating a real relationship with Him, we will begin to be ready for His love and soon realize it's harder to get to Hell than it is to get to Heaven.
