Dave Olson is at the table with Oscar Yturriaga, a pastor in Des Moines Iowa with Christian Life church. Oscar journeyed a unique path into being a Christian, marked by intense hunger for God. Oscar talks about the believer doing the spiritual math and asking: does this cancer diagnosis compute? Their conversation emphasizes the value in contending for what ought to be and leaning into the promises of God - and, the powerful reality that God's heart is to be relational with us. They also dive into Oscar's calling to ministry, finding his wife after a bold headed move, and his miraculous healing from cancer.

Oscar and his wife Megan are the lead pastors at Christian Life in Des Moines, Iowa. Christian Life is a church for all people. Especially the imperfect ones. Christian Life is here to help you know God, find belonging, and become the person you’re called to be.

ABOUT this podcast:

All Christians worship in a particular stream of Christianity. But no single movement carries it all. Dave Olson, Heartland Church senior leader, firmly believes this. Fell into drugs, became homeless, then God saved and healed him. He wants to give away what he's learned. He sits down with all kinds of people, especially Christian leaders making an impact locally and globally. Here to challenge those who think the gifts of the Spirit are for today, by helping them root it in the Bible. And challenge the one who isn't so sure the gifts are for today but loves the Word and is cautiously open.

Dave is at the table with Sandra Rohrer, for a powerful journey through her story of two major mysteries in her life. When Sandra was 11, her mother revealed that her biological father was not the man she knew as dad. The next day, her mom tragically and horrifically died. And then she learned, what looked like an accident, was actually murder. Amidst the loss and heartache, God brought forth a beautiful tapestry of forgiveness and rediscovered identity.

Sandra Rohrer is an author and entrepreneur. Her full story is told in her memoir titled, "Known: A Daughter's Search for a Killer, Her Identity, and the Heart of God". Her business, The Fragrant Revivalist, places a strong emphasis on restoring women to who they were always meant to be before pain and heartache came into their lives. They provide many holistic products and Heart Revival Workshops, which help women lay down emotional burdens and reconnect with the heart of God.

Check out her book on Amazon:

They've got powerful parallel history both in vocation and spiritual growth. These two old friends sit down for a conversation at the table — Dave Olson is at the table with Bob Larson. They dive deep into Bob's story - convinced his marriage was ending, Bob tells how God intervened and saved his relationship with his wife. They explore Bob's first experiences of realizing what it is like to hear from the Lord and learning to be led by Him.

Bob Larson is a certified mentor. His passion for serving vulnerable populations led him to join the Adult & Teen Challenge leadership in 1995, where he created a residential program for men in Omaha, NE. Bob continues to walk alongside people seeking wholeness, and as a team leader with Wellsprings of Freedom, a ministry aimed at helping people find freedom from trauma, hurt, and spiritual oppression. He also leads Libertas Mentoring, a program guiding Christian men to become pillars of freedom in Christ. Bob is also a teaching pastor with Radiant Church in Pleasant Hill, Iowa.

Dave sits down at the table this week with Don Crum. Don serves as the president of Leadership International, an organization that develops and trains leaders with a special emphasis on integrity, courage, power and vision in the fields of church, government, business and education. They talk about his story of coming to faith in Jesus, how he first started hearing from the Lord when praying to heal hospital patients, and some amazing miracles he witness around the world.

God has powerfully and strategically moved through Don's life in many spheres. As a hospital chaplain God healed so many patients through him that the doctors started complaining. He pastored, then served on the mission field in Nigeria where they built schools, hospitals, and churches all while seeing miracles and two medically documented cases of the dead being raised.

This week Dave Olson is at the table with Greg Baker, the Executive Vice President of THE FAMiLY LEADER Foundation and the Founding Director of Church Ambassador Network. Greg became a Christian while working on a governor's campaign, met his wife working in politics, found his church tribe in Walnut Creek Church in Des Moines, and launched into a life connecting leaders in the church and politics. Should the church engage in government? Dave and Greg explore this idea, and more, on this episode.

The Church Ambassador Network connects pastors, the shepherds of God’s Church, with the shepherds of government. By fostering gospel-centered relationships, they break down barriers and create pathways for meaningful dialogue, encouragement, and partnerships that address the needs of the community.

This is not the first time these two men have met at a table. But it is the first time here where they dive deep together in conversation on the God-orchestrated story that sent the Olson family on a trajectory that made a way for the calling on Dave's life and cleared the way for numerous lives to collide with King Jesus in this region. Today, Dave is at the table with his dad, Jim Olson.
