What happens when a family's active, rural life is turned upside down by a debilitating illness? In today's episode, we sit down with David Libby to hear his family's extraordinary story as they confronted the harsh realities of Lyme disease. David recounts the extreme symptoms his wife and daughters endured, from severe pain to seizures and mental health battles, bringing forth thought-provoking questions about faith, suffering, and resilience. Amid their trials, David found himself grappling with Ernst Haeckel's disteleological argument and seeking solace in the biblical narrative of suffering.

Drawing from the story of the man born blind in the Gospel of John, we explore how afflictions may serve a higher purpose, potentially glorifying God. The conversation further examines the interplay between science and faith, asserting that true science often aligns with biblical principles. David's testimony underscores the profound purpose and opportunities to glorify God that can emerge even through the toughest challenges.
Lastly, we introduce David Libby's book, "A Different World," a detailed chronicle of his family's battle with Lyme disease and the insights they gained along the way. We guide you on how to find the book on Amazon, making it easy for our listeners to dive deeper into David's moving journey. David expresses his heartfelt gratitude for the platform to share his story, and we extend our thanks to our devoted audience for their unwavering support.

John McLaren's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Imagine surviving a near-fatal attempted murder and losing your life savings in a foreign business venture—such harrowing experiences could break anyone, but for John, they became the catalyst for a profound transformation. As a Christian husband, father, and passionate health coach, John shares his incredible story of faith and resilience, along with his innovative approach to brain-driven weight loss that integrates psychological psychology, neuroscience, fitness, and nutrition. This episode highlights how John's childhood dreams and his amazement at modern technology that connects people globally have shaped his inspiring outlook on life and health.
In a gripping recount, John opens up about a traumatic event in South Africa that forced him to reassess his relationship with God and question the true essence of Christianity. For over a decade, John battled mental health issues, including PTSD, binge eating, and food addiction, which brought him to a place of humility and vulnerability. Through God's mercy, he found the strength to rebuild his faith from the ground up. This renewed faith also transformed his perspective on health and fitness, driving him to help others achieve wellness. John's story is a testament to the transformative power of adversity and the importance of surrendering our gifts to God.
John's compassionate approach to coaching is rooted in his personal struggles with trauma, obesity, and financial ruin. We explore how dissociating from his body after trauma led John to reach 330 pounds and how self-loathing was gradually replaced by self-compassion through the guidance of another coach. Running a nutrition and supplement store revealed to him the critical need for emotional support and guidance, beyond just supplements. This realization inspired him to become a coach who values human connection and compassion above all. John emphasizes that true change is tough but possible with gentle guidance and understanding, likening the effort required for sustained health to the ongoing process of spiritual growth. His insights on adopting a lifelong, balanced approach to health and fitness are both practical and profound, offering listeners valuable advice on their own journeys to wellness.

What drives a pastor to leave the comfort of Connecticut for the perilous regions of northern Nigeria? Join us as we converse with Brad Brandon, the founder and CEO of Across Nigeria, who recounts his transformative journey from pastoring a suburban church to spreading the Gospel in some of the most dangerous parts of the world.

This episode doesn't shy away from drawing poignant parallels between the Fulani Muslims of northern Nigeria and the Native Americans in the United States. Both groups share a semi-nomadic lifestyle and have faced significant historical marginalization. Brad offers an eye-opening exploration of the Fulani's conversion to Islam and the initial failures of Christian missionaries from Holland and England.

Facing the brutal reality of Boko Haram's violent activities, Brad shares the risks and sacrifices involved in mission work within these volatile regions. From the constant threat of kidnappings to the reliance on faith and prayer for safety, the episode provides a raw look at the personal and communal toll of these efforts. We also tackle the significant disconnect many American Christians feel from such persecutions and emphasize the importance of raising awareness. Learn how you can contribute to this noble cause through donations and prayer, and why your support is crucial now more than ever.
