In this episode of Panhandle Pulse, host Chuck Asbury sits down with Pastor Charles Wilson of The Chapel at Crosspoint in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida for an inspiring conversation about faith, leadership, and community impact in the Florida Panhandle.

Pastor Wilson shares the incredible story of how a struggling church with just eight members transformed into a thriving congregation that now supports multiple ministries and nonprofit organizations across the region.

• The role faith plays in building stronger communities
• Disaster relief and the vision for a future community support facility
