Dr. Christopher Yuan | A Gay Son's Journey to God: Holy Sexuality and the Gospel Sep 04, 2022

Show notes

Christopher Yuan, the son of Chinese immigrants, discovered at an early age that he was different. He was attracted to other boys. As he grew into adulthood, his mother, Angela, hoped to control the situation. Instead, she found that her son and her life were spiraling out of control—and her own personal demons were determined to defeat her.

Christopher was to follow in his father’s footsteps to become a Doctor of Dental Surgery, however, just before graduation, Christopher dropped out of college. His life was centered on his homosexual lifestyle, and he became the go-to drug dealer in the area.

After years of heartbreak and confusion, Angela began to see her prayers answered in Christopher’s life.
Today, Dr. Christopher Yuan speaks at college campuses, conferences, and in churches, along with his mother, Angela. He graduated and taught at Moody Bible Institute, receiving his Doctorate of Ministry in 2014.

He has co-authored a memoir with his mother, called “Out of a Far Country: A Gay Son’s Journey to God. A Broken Mother’s Search for Hope”, which has sold more than 100,000 copies. His newest book, entitled “Holy Sexuality and the Gospel: Sex, Desire, and Relationships Shaped by God’s Grand Story” was released in 2020.

Trent Taylor | "Watch Me Rise" a Story of Triumph Aug 28, 2022

Show notes

Trent Taylor experienced sexual abuse, neglect, and domestic violence during the first half of his childhood. He traveled a horrific journey through the foster care system until he was adopted at the age of 9.
After healing from his traumatic past, Trent, who is now 21, has devoted his life to helping others overcome past trauma by providing hope.
Trent, who could have easily become another statistic, became a published author after co-authoring his autobiography, "Shattered No More," about his time in foster care. Since that time, he has donated the proceeds of his book back to charity. In addition, he recently released his second book titled "Battling the Invisible Enemy" which was written for teens who have experienced trauma.
Trent is also involved in foster care reform at the national level and hopes to positively impact the trajectory of the foster care system for the children and teens in care.
He is currently pursuing his degree in clinical counseling and plans to become a trauma consultant, but has already studied trauma extensively through college coursework, outside training, and the Orphans and Vulnerable Children Essentials course through the Christian Alliance for Orphans. He is also a practitioner in Trust-Based Relational Intervention through the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development. Alongside his mom, who is also a practitioner, Trent considers it a blessing to serve families by showing them the true healing that is found in God.

Trent also serves as co-founder and CEO for Watch Me Rise, which is a ministry devoted to working on behalf of children who have experienced trauma as he once did.
Invite Trent to speak at your church, organization, or event, or for training, through his website!

Ed Grable | God Has a Purpose, Even When He is Silent Aug 21, 2022

Show notes

He felt unwanted, unloved, unvalued, and didn’t believe he had a purpose in life. Today’s guest is a friend whose story exemplifies the purpose of this podcast—Hope.

This episode is for anyone out there who has ever believed that they just didn’t measure up or fit in. Most of us have had experiences like that in our childhood, but it’s not just children who struggle with self-worth. As adults, we are supposed to have it all together, right? We can’t appear weak, uncertain, or that we don’t have a place in society.

The truth is, most of us have areas in our lives that we don’t want to talk about. Maybe it is secret sin or simply that we don’t want people to know the truth—that we really don’t have it all together. In fact, if we were honest some of us would say that our lives are spinning out of control. We may be on the brink of disaster, but for 90 minutes on Sunday mornings, we could be nominated for an Emmy by appearing “normal” at church. After all, as Christians, we are not allowed to have personal struggles.

You need to hear this…YOU. ARE. NOT. ALONE.

You are about to hear Ed’s story. It started as a young child but continued for much of his young life. He should not have had to endure it. Life should have been better. Maybe you can relate to Ed.

I’m thankful that Ed is willing to share his story so that others can have hope. What you are about to hear has been shared with only a handful of people, but Ed has changed lives and will continue to change lives for eternity because of the HOPE he has in Jesus.

Hillary Morgan Ferrer (Mama Bear Apologetics) | "Are Your Kids Walking Away from Their Faith?" Aug 14, 2022

Show notes

Today’s guest offers a sobering statistic that should make us all sit up and take notice. “45%-48% of youth leave the church after their freshman year in college and never return.” They never return!

If you are a parent, a grandparent, or simply a follower of Jesus, this should sound the alarm! When are children challenged about their faith, what will they say? Do they know why they believe what they believe?
We all know our world has its temptations, but today, our culture is not only making sin more tempting but is also normalizing it. Anyone who disagrees is hateful, self-righteous, or divisive.

It’s not enough that our kids are growing up in a Christian environment. Growing up in church and Sunday School will not give them a “free pass”!

1 Peter 5:8 says, “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”

Hilary Morgan Ferrer is the Founder and CEO of Mama Bear Apologetics. Mama bears are known to nurture and protect their young. That’s what Mama Bear Apologetics is all about.

If you are a physical mother or a spiritual mother, this episode is for you. Fathers and father figures, this is for you. Your child’s faith foundation begins with you.

Brandon Scott | No Longer Defined by My 600-lb Life Aug 07, 2022

Show notes

Most of us carry around the weight of burdens we are not meant to carry. Maybe it's our past, maybe it's our present circumstances. However, God provides freedom through Jesus Christ.
Maybe no one understands this better than Brandon Scott. While weighing nearly 700 pounds, Brandon watched the TLC series, "My 600-lb Life", not realizing that one day he would be on the show himself.
It was through the loving prompting from his girlfriend that made Brandon contact the show. His life was about to change. He had the gift of music but he was unable to walk from the church parking lot to the church building. His girlfriend had to drop him off at the church doors. How was he supposed to fulfill his dream of becoming a singer/songwriter?
Brandon's story will inspire anyone who has ever struggled with challenges that weigh us down and keep up from doing what God has called us to do!

Ryan Bomberger - Roe v. Wade Ruling Brings Life Jul 31, 2022

Show notes

OUR GUEST:
Ryan Bomberger is an Emmy® Award-winning Creative Professional who founded The Radiance Foundation (TRF), a life-affirming 501c3, along with his wife, Bethany. He is an international public speaker, columnist, educator, broadcast media designer, producer, and author of the powerful book, Not Equal: Civil Rights Gone Wrong.
OUR TOPIC:
Roe v Wade Overturned to Life

Since the 1973 ruling by the Supreme Court, it is estimated that over 63 million babies have legally been aborted. 63 million lives for which God had a plan. 63 million lives that never had a chance to experience life.
Ryan Bomberger states that he was "conceived in rape, but adopted in love." Ryan's birth mom experienced the horror and violence of rape yet she courageously gave him a chance to live and the beautiful gift of adoption.
He was adopted at 6 weeks of age and grew up in a loving, multi-“racial” Christian family of 15. With siblings of varying ethnicities, he grew up with a great appreciation for diversity. Ten of the thirteen children were adopted by this remarkable family. His life defies the myth of the “unwanted” child as he was adopted, loved, and flourished.

Kurt Beach | Finding Purpose in Living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Nov 08, 2021

Show notes

Kurt Beach joins us, along with his daughter Mikayla Beach, to encourage listeners to shift their focus away from their troubles and toward a more positive, faith-driven life.
Kurt was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy and told he would probably be in a wheelchair by his mid-30's. Instead, Kurt took on the biggest physically challenging race of his life.
"Searching for Every Step: Finding Purpose in Living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy" documents Kurt's life journey from diagnosis to his recent victory over the fears in his life that kept him from the dreams that God gave him.
Mikayla also talks about her dad and his journey, and how she aspires to be like him in that she doesn't believe we should ever discount the desires that God places in our hearts.
Listen in, share it with your friends, and order Kurt's book to get the full story behind our conversation.
