It’s not often you come across a person that has, for his entire life, had his priorities straight. Lucas de Jong is that person and he, through an amazing upbringing and uncompromising faith in Jesus Christ, has cracked the code.

By putting his faith first, he demonstrates a spirit of service to his wife of 6 years in addition to the organizations with which he has worked. Now, as a father of a 4-month old, Lucas understands his responsibility of helping steward his son’s life.

In addition, Lucas refuses to keep quiet about his faith and encourages other strong, principled, Christian men to do the same.

His wisdom belies the years he’s lived, and we all can learn from his example to live by humility and courage. Lucas is truly wise beyond his years.

During a business trip in 2000, The Holy Spirit took hold of Darin Leonard and rocked him to his core.

As a self-professed “work-a-holic,” Darin was married to his work and his life was out of balance. Despite being an incredibly successful businessperson, the costs to his family were too great to ignore.

Fortunately, he heard God’s call on his life and was able to lean into The Lord’s purpose for him strongly and courageously.

As a result, Darin has been able to live a life grounded in truth and compassion while finding balance between a thriving career and a remarkable wife of 31 years and their 3 exceptional sons.

Such a blessing!  THANK YOU for embarking on this quest!

"I don't like you when you drink." Those were the words of Rodney Corn's wife soon after the couple began dating.

A few months later, Rodney woke up and felt different. He had no appetite for or desire to drink or do drugs as he had for nearly 12 years. These addictions were brought about by the trauma of his parent's messy divorce and, subsequent, absentee father.

Despite being a "high-functioning addict," having double-majored in psychology and exercise science as an undergraduate student and earning a Master of Science in Biomechanics, his lifestyle was taking a toll. It wasn't until, at age 28, that Rodney came across a television program, hosted by Dr. Eugene Scott, that explained the scientific validation of the resurrection of Jesus Christ that his life turned around.

Since then, he has devoted his life to his Lord and Savior and has been an inspiration to the people who have had the privilege of letting him into their world.

A truly remarkable follower of Jesus Christ.

After earning an undergraduate degree in Biblical Studies and a Master of Divinity, Eric Nevins dreamed of becoming a pastor.

As will most plans, life has a tendency to get in the way and he had to do what was best for his family. 13 1/2 years later, Eric still found himself in the finance industry and was questioning God's plan for his life.

He decided to use the skills he acquired and began interviewing Christians about their Christian experience. Working late into most evenings, Eric hosted and produced The Halfway There Podcast and, 7 years later, he continues this ministry.

Along the way, he founded Get Curious Media and the Christian Podcasters Association and shares other's stories about their personal experience with God.

And, despite some recent challenges that caused his faith to waiver, he has stayed the course, committed to building His Kingdom.

At age 14, Jason Lee was doing drugs while growing up in a home with an absent father. Fortunately, he had a passion for fitness and found solace in physical activity and, later, discovered that he could not only make a living at it, but he could also thrive...and thrive he did.

Consequently, Jason lived an unbalanced life and his first marriage dissolved. Unemployed and seeking answers, he finally turned to The Lord feeling broken and defeated. In March of 2016, Jason gave his life to Jesus Christ, but didn’t feel The Holy Spirit.

A short time later while sitting in his car at a stoplight praying for some answers, he, for the first time in his life, was filled by The Holy Spirit and his life began to change in massively positive ways.

Today, Jason is a successful entrepreneur, happily married, and uses his life as his ministry. Praise God!

As a 20+ year veteran of the United States Marine Corp., Craig Leighton understands trauma. Having been shot in the face during one of his many tours in hostile areas, he endured 19 surgeries to rebuild his jaw with a prosthetic one and, because of the shooting, he lost his hearing.

And yet, deafness couldn’t stop his passion for helping veterans get “unstuck” and find their way forward because of similar trauma from combat zone experiences.

Today, Craig is the founder and Sergeant Major at Veteran Camps of America, an organization built to instill confidence and value to at-risk veterans and to help motivate them to a rendezvous with destiny. In addition to this work, he works with other causes, such as human rights, protecting children, poverty alleviation within the homeless population, and animal rights.

Craig dedicates his life to being of value and of service to others. Thank you for your service, Craig!

Growing up with a hardworking, disciplined father that disliked and outwardly rebuked The Church, Wayne Endicott's journey of finding Jesus Christ was a long one.

As a self-professed "rotten boy," he didn't believe what other Christians believed. It wasn't until he had a conversation with a young lady he was enamored with that he felt The Holy Spirit enter him and his life. At that moment, he felt demons leave his body in a "warm breath."

For the first time, not only did he believe in Jesus Christ, he was also able to acknowledge that He is Lord. Despite many more trials and having his faith waiver at times, Wayne has become a role model for all Christians.

Today, he and his wife, Lisa, of 29 years, own and operate The Bow Rack, a 5,000 square-foot building in Springfield, Oregon that hosts a huge selection of the finest archery equipment on the market today. They have 5 children and 5 grandchildren (with a 6th on the way) and are pillars of the communities they serve. Wayne is a truly remarkable man.

Drafted in the 2nd round of the 2000 NBA draft and spending the next 14 years playing professional basketball throughout the world, Dan McClintock understands what it means to honor God’s gifts.

Hailing from a small town in California, he didn’t have many prospects to play college basketball, but he knew that if his work ethic matched the level of the blessing he was given, it would work out in his favor. Dan carried this mindset into professional sports and made a life thanks to the Lord’s provision.

Today, he inspires the next generation to achieve success and helps the less fortunate by looking more like Jesus Christ in how he shows up in the world. Truly a gentle giant.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is off limits to no one even those individuals that committed crimes, and Michael Nolan knows this all too well.

As the CEO of The Bill Glass Behind the Walls Ministry, he and his team go insides prisons throughout the country to teach the Good News of Jesus Christ and the experience is transformative. The ability to evangelize The Word is transformative to all involved, with many inmates hearing the Good News of Jesus Christ for the first time.

Throughout his storied history in ministry and business, Michael understands the need for more Christians to talk openly about Jesus Christ, especially in a culture that is openly anti-God. His story is powerful and the ministry he supports does nothing but glorify The Kingdom.
