Terry is joined by his high school classmate to take a trip down memory lane ... looking back at their elementary, middle and high school days, a road that they were actually paving as the first class to go all 12 grades with black and white students in their small Alabama town. But while their two paths took different routes during college and even their business days, common ground was clear in this conversation: the work world is cruel. Our faith can help us be victorious on the job. Hearts can and must change to make a difference. 

These are difficult times. The point of the show today is: do not go these times alone. There is no need to go hard times alone. Brent Vance is a licensed professional counselor. He shares with us on this show strategies to help us through hard times.

Uncertainty is fact of life. Many times it's hard to see the destination and for that matter, just a few feet in front of us can be pretty foggy. However, Holy Scripture reminds us that the words found within the pages of the Bible are a "lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path". Trevor Brown, our guest today, embarked on a journey right out of college that took him thousands of miles away to a place unlike his hometown. The journey of the unknown brought him closer to Jesus, as he served others. 

Changing from one chapter to another in life can be beyond difficult. What are we suppose to do in the "between times". Our guest today shows that those transition periods can make you better. In fact, you can have, peace, hope, joy and purpose. Brooke Duplantier is a 2020 high school senior and shares advice that's good for us all. 

Jan-Willem Bosman is the director of an International effort called Jesus.net – think of him as a lifeguard who is always watching for those in distress on the Internet. He and his organization connect them to help. He will tell you that the distress comes in several ways in this crazy day and age.

Terry's guest today has seen a lot of tragedy, twists and turmoil in his 88 years. However, he has also seen triumph over tragedy and has introduced others to victorious living, an introduction he also makes for our listener. Our guest, Walter Albritton, is an author, columnist, pastor and world-traveler. His advice is golden. 

At this moment, more people are looking for a job than ever before. Terry's guest today says you are not alone! She says it's okay to say ... I was fired or I was laid off. In light of Corvid-19, it's common. Also, there will soon be a hiring frenzy. Chellie Phillips wrote a book, "Get Noticed, Get Hired" to position you above the crowd. 

“God never wastes a wound, He turns your pain and suffering into purpose.” - Bryan Flanery

During a deployment to Afghanistan, with the 1-320th Top Guns, Bryan Flannery was severely injured, deeper than just physically but mentally and spiritually too. His story is riveting and then revealing. There is an unseen enemy. There is also the power to overcome and conquer – a message we so need right now. 

When the world comes crashing down, seemingly all around us, there is help and hope. Matt Day experienced life on the traumatic battlefield of Afghanistan but it's what he discovered when he returned home that turned his life around, brought him peace and direction. He says the same are available for you. 

While working from home may sound like the ideal set up, it brings on a wealth of challenges. However, with great advice and a good sense of humor, one can be super successful in the home office.

GUEST: Yvon Prehn is a long-time friend of Terry's and is a real professional when it comes to cranking out the creativity from a home office. She produces content used by organizations around the world.
