Bonnie shares the story of her son, James who was stillborn after a home birth. Rushed to the hospital, the prognosis was grim. After attempting to resuscitate him, the doctors decided no more could be done. Just as they stopped their efforts, James's heart began to beat. What laid ahead was organ failure, brain damage, and a life of special needs or even if he could even survive. Storming social media for prayers and seeking the intercession of Venerable Bishop Fulton Sheen, James today is a healthy normal boy. How do Bonnie and Travis share the glory of God and keep life normal for their family and their son? How does Bonnie process that their son lived while other parents do not receive this miracle? These are the questions we asked. Her humility and love for Jesus is a beautiful witness.

To get to know Bonnie and find out about her book, here is her website:

Deacon Randy Kiel is familiar to many of us in Des Moines. He has a counseling practice known as Kardia Counseling. He also is heard every Thursday morning on Jon Leonetti in the morning. But what you may not know is that he always wanted to be a State Fair carney. He operates the Wax Hands booth for the past 13 years at the Iowa State Fair. Randy shares how through conversations while molding a person's hands, he entwines the message of Christ. We call this show "Fair Faith".
