Resilience rarely feels like a victory. The life and mindset of Sterling Thomas could definitely be defined as resilient, but this episode of Out of The Park uncovers the honest journey to get to where he is today. From top tier athlete to starting his own non-profit to benefit people with spinal cord injuries, he blesses us today with his generous offering of openness, vulnerability, and resolve. 

Don't forget to check out Sterling's non-profit at pushpushpray.org.

Amy Wilkes is the friend we all want.  Loyal. Fun. Down to earth. But it is her compassion, empathy and faith in God that stand out in this deep conversation. We walk with her from life in the rural panhandle of Oklahoma to the depths of heartache and the purpose that was created in the process. Your heart will grow stronger by the end of this episode.

Connie Alred, or Ms. Connie as she's famously known as, has been blessing families at The Park for decades, but you'd never know how deep her love and commitment to her ministry of teaching goes.

Season 2 of Out of The Park kicks off with guest Brooke Prosser.  Jeff, Kenna, and Amy talk with Brooke about where the LORD has taken her and her family, from the simple and expected to the difficult and transformative. They uncover just how kind God is over the course of our lives. This is a beautiful example of friends remaining curious and the power of great questions to bring out the hope, joy and love we have walking together with Christ. We hope you'll be encouraged in knowing just how faithful God is in every moment of your life. 

Join Jeff, Kenna, and Amy as we dig deeper into our community with Luke Haley and explore the ways God has moved in his life and changed his path.

Nikki and her family worked through transitions and difficult seasons to find themselves in the middle of a loving community and filled with purpose.  Her journey is as relatable as it is inspiring.

Join us as we talk with our dear friend, LaDanta Kowis, who is one of the greatest, most natural encouragers you'll ever meet.  Both her story and her spirit are powerful testaments of God's divine faithfulness through even the most difficult seasons of life. LaDanta and her friends, a group made up mostly of senior aged widows, have so much love for each other and everyone they come into contact with, have played a major role in shaping the culture of our church. It is impossible to leave an interaction with LaDanta and not feel completely seen and valued. Her story is full of major highs and lows, but the exclamation point of this episode is how beautifully steady she has remained by holding God's hand through it all.
