In Pursuit with Mike Weaver

Mike travels to Canada via the Internet for a visit with Dr. Al Anderson, president of ShareWord Global.

Dr. Anderson shares how doors are opening to pursue this life-changing effort. 

Danny Holmes shocked the courtroom during his trial for murder when unprompted, he took the stand and said, I'm guilty, and read the lyrics of Big Daddy Weave’s song Redeemed to the courtroom. God had moved in his heart so powerfully, that in a trial in which he may have even been exonerated, he heard God tell him to speak the truth. Danny risked his own life in prison to tell his fellow gang members that he could now only follow God, and now daily leads other prisoners to Jesus while he serves his life sentence. Danny joins Mike and Danny's attorney Joshua Crain from prison by phone to tell this incredible story and share what God is doing. 

On this special episode of the In Pursuit podcast, Mike gathers with Big Daddy Weave members Jeremy Redmon, Joe Shirk, Brian Beihl, and longtime manager Jim Scherer to remember their brother Jay Weaver.

Mike’s travels take him to Las Vegas, Nevada for a conversation with HOPE for Prisoners founder Jon Ponder. When Jon returned to his community after spending time in prison, he experienced the challenges many faces upon release, including a lack of long-term support and guidance for those who have learned from their mistakes and have a genuine desire to change the direction of their lives. From his personal experience and his passion to help those facing the same challenges he overcame, HOPE for Prisoners was born.

Mike speaks with Amy Passas from New Hampshire, whose husband is battling for his life in a hospital in Boston. Amy's husband doesn't battle alone, however. Amy is also battling on his behalf as they both give this fight to Jehovah Jireh, the name for God that means The Lord Will Provide. Amy describes the miracles they've already experienced and the ones they pray to come.
