To the Streets of Chicago with basketballs, bibles, shoes, and hugs.Part 1 (Season 3 Ep 1)

I was talking with two African American pastors of a Baptist Church in Waterloo, Iowa. Pastor Anderson turns to his wife and says, "Tell her how God brought you to South Chicago". Halfway through the story she started laughing hard and exclaimed, "God gave a white boy a heart for the ghettos of South Chicago." We all laughed because God often uses unqualified, inadequate people to serve his purposes. While driving through Chicago in our van the beautiful skyscrapers glistened in the sun and reac...

A Homeless Man Dying in a Bush

Hearing and following God's voice is a wonderful journey. In this episode I share one excursion I took with God in San Diego. He led me to a man who was homeless living out his final days in a bush. This is one of my favorite stories. Each time I follow God's voice on a journey it comes with many obstacles along the way. This one was no different. I try to be as honest as I can about different thoughts that go through my head along the way. This isn't a perfect podcast and I am sure not a great ...

A Football Story. A Little Girl and a doll. (Ep. 11)

In this podcast I share two stories that have forever marked my life. God used a young football player to teach me how to get out of my comfort zone and share His love with other people. He used a filthy doll and a beautiful little girl to show me both extreme love and extreme tragedy. I also share what I believe He wants you to learn from these stories.

Our encounter with a man who was screaming and banging his hand on a table at a restaurant. After approaching him, he told us that for several years a demon scratched and bit him.

Go Back!! (Ep. 6)

Sometimes when we knock on a door people are not welcoming. This husband did not want us there. His wife was concerned for our safety. When we started to walk away I believe The Holy Spirit told me to go back. With everything in me I tried to keep walking. But we went back. I was extremely nervous for myself and our group as I knocked on the door in the dark hallway of the apartment building. What was waiting on the other side of the door? God went back with us. What an amazing experience when w...

The Demonic Building (Ep. 5)

Sometimes The Lord leads you to shine His light into dark places. One man said, "Sometimes when you go looking for trouble you find it. And sometimes you can't get out." I believe Holy Spirit led us to shine the light and love of Jesus into a building that was the epicenter to all the crime, drugs, and violence in the community. Does God still speak today? Is God Love? If He does still speak and is love wouldn't He send us to help hurting people? These are my stories of how God brought me from t...

A Time I Missed it at a Truck Stop (Ep. 4)

In this episode I want to share two stories. The first story is one where I missed a chance to bless someone is Jesus name. The reality is I miss it often for one reason or another. When I get it right it is all because of Him. It seems like in order hear His voice and have the courage to follow through there are several that I miss. I feel it is important for me to share stories that don’t work out from time to time too. But know that God is a good Father. He doesn’t throw us away when we fall ...
