Today, we are honored to sit with a woman whose journey is nothing short of miraculous. From navigating the uncertainties of life as a shelter mom to now standing boldly behind the pulpit as a credentialed preacher, Sasha is living proof that God rewrites stories in the most powerful ways.

Her life is a testimony of resilience, surrender, and the relentless grace of God. Whether you’re in a season of waiting, rebuilding, or stepping into your calling, Sasha’s story will stir your faith and remind you that God is still in the business of raising up leaders from the ashes.

Today, we’re honored to welcome someone whose story embodies redemption, resilience, and servant leadership — Jeri Johnston, the Shelter Program Administrator. Once a shelter mom herself, Jeri brings a rare depth of compassion and firsthand understanding to her work. Her journey from needing shelter to now leading one is a powerful testimony of what God can do through a life surrendered and restored.

In this episode, we’ll talk with Jeri about her personal story, the realities of homelessness in Hawai‘i, and how shelters can become sacred spaces of healing. We’ll also dive into what the local church and young leaders can do to walk alongside those in crisis with grace and truth.

Today, we are honored to sit down with Daniel Kaneshiro, Executive Director of The Shelter — a place where brokenness meets healing, and where single moms and their children are given more than a roof over their heads; they’re given a future.

In this episode, Daniel takes us back to how The Shelter was birthed — a God-inspired vision that has grown into a life-changing ministry. You’ll hear how single mothers once homeless have now become credentialed ministers, even Shelter directors themselves. And how the next generation is rising up — including one former Shelter student who graduated from our very own Christian Academy, becoming the first in her family to attend college.

This isn’t just about housing — it’s about legacy, restoration, and what happens when the Church steps in with faith, love, and action.

In this remarkable episode, we sit down with Pastor Frank Toole, whose lifelong search for his father ended in an unforgettable reunion. For decades, Frank carried a quiet hope that one day he would meet the man he had never known. And then—after six decades—that hope was fulfilled in a way only God could orchestrate.

This story is a testament to the power of faith, the mystery of God’s timing, and the beautiful way God weaves together lives and legacies. Pastor Frank’s journey will inspire you to keep believing, keep praying, and trust that some answers come when we least expect them—but always right on time.

If you’ve ever wondered whether long-held hopes can come true, this episode is for you.

Today, we’re honored to sit down with a man whose faithfulness has marked decades of ministry in Hawai‘i — Pastor Ko. As the longtime senior pastor of First Assembly of God, Pastor Ko has shepherded thousands with wisdom, humility, and a deep love for the Lord.

But now, a new chapter begins. In this special episode, Pastor Ko opens his heart about the emotional and spiritual journey of transitioning leadership — not just to anyone, but to his very own son, Joshua Ko. It’s a story of legacy, trust, and God’s perfect timing.

You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes moments, the lessons learned in letting go, and the joy of watching the next generation rise. Whether you’re a leader, a parent, or someone discerning your next step, this conversation will inspire you to lead with vision and finish with grace.

In today’s episode, we’re honored to have Pastor Terry, a seasoned leader with a deep conviction: when God heals, He also sends. Pastor Terry believes the power of healing is not just for personal restoration — it’s preparation for mission. And at the center of his passion is this — mobilizing the next generation to carry both healing and the gospel to the nations.

Whether you’re a parent, pastor, or mentor, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to see healing not as an end, but a beginning — a catalyst for mission in your home, your church, and around the world.

Today, we’re honored to introduce you to Kirby and Miwa Sato, a couple whose story is rooted in a deep love for Japan and a lifelong commitment to sharing the gospel.

Kirby was born in Hawaii, raised in Japan, and later moved to Minnesota—a journey that uniquely shaped his heart for cross-cultural ministry. It was in Minnesota that his calling to missions deepened, eventually leading him back to the very place where he grew up: Japan.

There, he met Miwa, a native of Japan with her own passion for reaching people with the hope of Christ. Together, they now serve as missionaries, building relationships, discipling believers, and living out the gospel in a country where Christianity remains a minority faith.

Today, we’re joined by Senior Pastor-Elect Joshua Ko, recently affirmed as the next Senior Pastor of First Assembly of God. But this moment wasn’t about a title — it was about giving his simple yes to the Lord.

Behind the scenes, before the special membership meeting, Joshua walked through a season of deep prayer, counsel, and surrender. It was a journey filled with questions, confirmations, and quiet moments with the Lord.

Today, he shares what led up to that pivotal day — the unseen steps, the spiritual weight, and the call that became clear.

Today, we’re honored to welcome Ashley McKenzie, a dedicated missionary with Assemblies of God World Missions, closing our her season serving in the vibrant yet spiritually hungry nation of Spain.

Ashley’s journey is one of obedience, passion, and bold faith. From sensing God’s call to missions at a young age, to navigating language, culture, and the spiritual climate of post-Christian Europe, her story is both inspiring and deeply challenging.

In this episode, Ashley shares what it’s like to bring the light of Christ to a secular society, how the local church in Spain is growing, and how God is moving through community outreach, relationship-building, and Spirit-led ministry.

Whether you're called to missions, support missions, or simply want to hear what God is doing across the globe—this conversation will stir your heart.

Today, we’re honored to introduce Flynn and Renee Clanton — modern-day missionaries with a powerful passion for the lost. Stationed in South America, Flynn and Renee are pioneering a digital missions movement that meets people right where they are — on Google.

In a world where millions are searching for answers online, the Clantons are leveraging search engine keywords to reach hearts that are quietly asking spiritual questions like: “Is there more to life?” “Who is Jesus?” “What happens when I die?” — and they’re pointing them to a place of hope.

Through their gospel-centered websites, seekers are not just clicking links — they’re encountering truth, finding peace, and beginning their journey with Jesus.

This isn’t just missions in the jungle. This is missions in the search bar — and it’s changing lives.

Get ready to be inspired as we talk with Flynn and Renee about digital strategy, spiritual hunger, and how God is moving in unexpected ways across South America and beyond.
