It has been almost four years since I surrendered my life to Jesus, and I felt it was time to retell my story the way it should have been told the first time.

It has taken me a full year to get this story right. I recorded this over and over again—so many times I lost count—because I wanted to make sure the Lord was truly glorified.

When I first started this podcast, I was only six months saved and didn’t know what I know now. The Lord had put it on my heart to share more details of what He has done in my life.

He deserves the honor and glory for my transformation. I wouldn’t be who I am today without Jesus. He has continued to change me and sanctify me into His image, and I will never get over how He has redeemed me and changed me.

My prayer in retelling this story is that whoever hears it would be encouraged, but also convicted to examine their hearts and where they stand before God. I pray that the Lord would bring this episode to the right person or people so that they too might come to salvation. 

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." - Joshua 1:9

In this follow-up to Ali's powerful testimony, we revisit his story through the lens of the one who patiently waited and faithfully cast his line. This week Ali is joined by his friend Dan Ginn, the man who God used to reach him with the gospel. Together, they recount the story of how their paths crossed, the hunting trips, the many Bible studies they would attend together, and all the in-between moments leading up to Ali's conversion to Christianity. 

Hear the story from both perspectives, the fisherman and the Muslim fish who was caught. Just goes to show that even if we feel like God isn't moving, He really is.

"Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."- Matthew 4:19

This week, I was blessed with the opportunity to speak to Ali, a former Shiite Muslim from the Islamic Republic of Iran. Ali's family fled to the United States when he was just 5 years old, seeking a new life during the Iran-Iraq war. He grew up in New York City and eventually worked in Manhattan's Financial District on Wall Street, chasing success with the goal of becoming the wealthiest Muslim who ever lived. Before the financial crisis hit in 2008, Ali pursued a different position and moved to Omaha, Nebraska, where his life would be forever changed by followers of Jesus who faithfully would live out being fishers of men.

This week, I sat down with Tommy Port, a New York native who led Ritchie - my last guest - to Christ. Tommy grew up in Staten Island where the Gospel wasn't a part of his life. He had never even opened a Bible and his family used Jesus' name as a cuss word. It wasn't until life threw some curve balls: a life altering car accident that halted his semi pro hockey career and later a threat of divorce that Tommy started to lose hope. His life, as he knew it, would change forever if something didn't change. For the first time, he felt the urge to pick up the Bible and God's word spoke to him in a way that made him finally recognize his sin. Buckle up, ya'll because this one isn't just one story! Tommy shares about many other amazing things God has done in and through him as he has walked faithfully with the Lord.

"I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." - John 14:6

This week I sat down with Ritchie Benitez. Ritchie spent 14 years addicted to cocaine while secretly working in the medical field in New York. A successful professional on the outside, but deeply broken on the inside, he lived a double life — dealing cocaine and searching for purpose. But everything changed when he met a co-worker who didn’t just talk about Jesus — he lived it out. Ritchie watched, questioned, and eventually found himself face-to-face with the gospel.

This episode tells the powerful story of how God used a faithful witness, the message of Billy Graham, and the relentless grace of Christ to deliver Ritchie from addiction and transform him into a man on mission. Today, he’s preaching the same hope he once ran from. He now travels all around the U.S. to tell others about Jesus.

If you’ve ever doubted that anyone is too far gone, this episode is for you! 

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” - John 14:6

This week I speak with traveling Bible teacher, Mike Attwood. Mike was born in Leeds, England with a Roman Catholic background, but faith was nothing more than a routine in his family. By age 18, Mike was lost in drinking, smoking, and chasing the things of the world. It all seemed normal, until he met a girl who challenged him with the truth. What started as a pursuit for the wrong reasons led to a life changing encounter with the love of Christ. Mike has now been a devout Christian for 44 years, has been traveling the world since 1984 to spread the Good News, and also shares his faith and biblical truth through his YouTube channel, reaching others with the hope of Christ!

This week I speak with my long time friend, Brandon Czerwik. Brandon grew up Catholic, believed in God, and thought he was living the Christian life, until the Holy Spirit opened his eyes to the truth: he was lost. After years of going through the motions, Brandon was convicted of his sin and realized that religion couldn't save him, only Jesus could. In this powerful episode, Brandon shares how God broke through his cultural Christianity, exposed the emptiness of "doing the right things", and brought him into a real, saving relationship with Christ. If you've ever wondered whether you're a Christian or not, this episode is for you!

Welcome to Episode 2 of Season 2! I'm so glad to be back! In this episode, I talk about my move from Idaho to Canada! You heard that right, I moved! The Lord has been showing me a lot of similarities from my previous season of isolation to the one I am in now and I couldn't help but share the story He is currently writing. I pray that this episode gives you hope for the future if you're in a season of isolation as well as a reminder that the Lord's sovereignty is still at work in your life! Even if you can't see what's around the next bend of life, rest assured, you have a Father in Heaven who can see them all and can lead you through it!

Welcome to Season 2! I've felt for weeks that I should go in another direction on my podcast and episodes. I have been praying to God on how He would want me to move forward and boy did He answer in a BIG way. I am taking a step back from other people's stories and sharing my own personal stories in hopes to encourage others and showcase His glory. I'm starting this new season off with a personal testimony of how I lost my engagement ring! Even in my doubt, God was gracious enough to help me find it! This is definitely one you will want to listen to all the way through! God truly does the impossible!

"He replied, "What is impossible for people is possible with God." - Luke 18:27

This week the Lord reminded me to stay in the present and not worry so much about the future. (Can't say I have never done that before!) I want to encourage you guys, myself included, that there is a season for everything. Whether you feel like God is moving on your behalf or not, you have to trust that He is! He isn't just there for us in the challenges we face, He is there in your every day routine equipping you for what's next. Don't spend so much time worrying about your future that you forget to enjoy the journey. Be present with Him in the now because you just might miss what He is trying to teach you for your future.

"Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." - Matthew 6:34
