Anne Wilson joins Rewrite with Jonathan Unthank, Music Director at The Light FM, to share how Jesus met her in the middle of heartbreak—and completely rewrote her story. From dreaming of working at NASA to standing on stage singing about Jesus in stadiums, Anne opens up about losing her brother, feeling God’s presence for the first time in a seventh grade classroom, and what it means to trust Him in the “in-between” seasons.

She also talks about her new single “God’s Story” and how it was birthed from grief, faith, and the unmistakable presence of a good God who never left her side.

“You’re only one prayer away from a testimony.”
God is always writing a story—even when we don’t see it yet.

Your past pain can become your platform.
Anne never planned to be a musician, but God used her deepest loss to call her into worship.

Even when you feel stuck or uncertain, God has already gone before you.
There’s power in trusting Him with the unknown.

If Anne’s journey reminded you that God is always working—no matter what season you’re in—why not take a moment today to talk to Him? You’re only one prayer away from the next chapter.

On this episode of Rewrite, Jonathan Unthank—Music Director at The Light FM—sits down with preacher, artist, and influencer KB to talk about how his journey with Jesus began… and how it’s still unfolding.

KB grew up in a tough part of St. Petersburg, Florida, just trying to make sense of life in the middle of brokenness. Then one day, a bold college student named Jeremy introduced him to something called Christian rap—and handed him a CD that changed everything.

KB shares how that moment led him from being a 16-year-old searching for hope to a man now preaching the gospel that saved him. He also opens up about what Jesus is doing in his life today and shares the heart behind his song “New Beginning.”

📌 3 Takeaways:

A simple act of bold faith—like a friend unashamed to say “I follow Jesus”—can change someone’s life forever.

KB’s journey started with a CD and a challenge to rethink what it means to follow Christ.

The Holy Spirit is a Comforter—Jesus brings peace to our lives even in the hardest places.

“You’re going to go through hard stuff either way. Why not walk through it with the One who created you?” – Mike

What happens when your life takes a turn you didn’t see coming? For Mike from MercyMe, it was a car crash at 18 that shook everything—his plans, his perspective, and his faith. In this episode, Mike shares how that moment of surrender became a turning point, leading to nearly 30 years of ministry with MercyMe.

From growing up with faith-filled parents to figuring out how to be a present husband and dad (and admitting he’s basically a 15-year-old in a band), Mike opens up about the messy, real-life side of following Jesus. They talk CrossFit, parenting, putting down their phones, and why walking with God—even through hard stuff—is always worth it.

Letting go can actually set you free. When Mike gave up control, he found more peace, purpose, and joy than he ever could’ve planned.

Small steps of discipline lead to big change. Whether it’s working out, eating better, or finally reading the Bible all the way through—Mike’s learning that spiritual growth shows up in everyday choices.

God doesn’t promise easy—but He does promise presence. Life’s going to be hard either way. Walking with Jesus doesn’t make the pain disappear, but it means we never face it alone.

In this heartfelt episode of Rewrite, Mac Powell and Sean Curran (of Passion Music) sit down with The Light FM's Music Director, Jonathan Unthank, to reflect on their personal journeys of faith, from childhood encounters with God to the evolving challenges of fatherhood, ministry, and daily surrender. Through laughter, real talk, and wisdom forged in the fire of life, they remind us that following Jesus isn’t a one-time moment—it’s a lifelong walk of presence, purpose, and grace.

1. That First Moment with God? It Stays With You.
Sean shares this beautiful story of riding his bike through the neighborhood as a kid and being totally overwhelmed by God’s presence—so much so that he just sat in someone’s yard and poured out his heart. Mac remembers climbing a tree in his front yard just to feel a little closer to heaven. Those early moments might feel small, but they were deeply personal and holy—and they still shape who they are today.

2. Jesus Wants to Walk With You—Not Just Save You.
Sean said something that hit hard: “Jesus isn’t just trying to get us into heaven. He’s trying to get heaven into us.” He talks about learning to follow Jesus not just on a stage or in a church, but as a dad, a husband, a person trying to be more like Him every day. For both Sean and Mac, Jesus isn’t a distant figure—He’s a friend, a teacher, someone they’re learning from in the middle of everyday life.

3. Your Presence Speaks Louder Than Perfection.
Mac and Sean get real about being dads in totally different seasons—Sean with toddlers, Mac with teens. But the heart is the same: showing up. Being present. Even when it’s messy or you don’t have the answers. Whether it’s praying during a walk, letting your kid teach you something, or just holding on through the teen years, they remind us it’s not about having it all figured out. It’s about being there, fully.

“I thought I had to clean myself up to be loved. Jesus flipped that upside down.” — Austin French

Austin French joins Jonathan Unthank on this episode of Rewrite to talk about the real behind the music—how the songs we sing often come from the scars we carry. From moments of doubt to declarations of faith, Austin opens up about the journey God’s taken him on, including the battles with identity, the lies that almost won, and the truth that set him free. You’ll walk away not just inspired—but reminded that God really does use all things for His glory.

God’s love isn’t performance-based. Even when Austin felt unworthy, he found Jesus standing steady, calling him beloved.

Music can be a weapon of truth. Writing songs became Austin’s way of fighting back against shame, fear, and lies.

Your past doesn’t disqualify you. If anything, it might be the very place where God writes your greatest testimony.

When Jamie MacDonald showed up at church camp as a teenager, broken and carrying more than her fair share of pain, she never imagined how far Jesus would take her. In this episode of Rewrite, Jamie sits down with Jonathan Unthank to share her story—from singing being banned in her home, to a battle with addiction, and ultimately, to topping the charts with her debut single “Desperate.”

Through raw honesty and heartfelt moments, Jamie opens up about being pursued by God even in her darkest places, discovering her purpose in prison ministry, and writing songs that come straight from her healing journey. This is more than a story about music—this is about redemption, purpose, and the faithfulness of Jesus who never let go.

God's love pursues us—even in rock bottom moments. Jamie shares how the same voice she heard at camp followed her through addiction and back to life.

Healing often comes before the breakthrough. Her songwriting didn’t truly begin until she embraced the slow, hard work of healing her heart.

Real ministry looks like prison walls and quiet obedience. Jamie’s work inside women’s prisons fuels the purpose behind every lyric she writes.

Life doesn’t always look like a big, mountaintop moment—and faith doesn’t either.

From youth conference memories to motherhood lessons learned on the kitchen floor, Rachael’s story reminds us that Jesus meets us in the everyday moments—and sometimes, the most beautiful thing we can do is slow down and butter the toast.

Whether you’ve felt like your faith story isn't "impressive enough" or you’re struggling to find God in the little things, this conversation will encourage you to remember: He is with you, and He is your friend.

Friendship with Jesus is foundational. Rachael shares how knowing Jesus as a friend first changed her faith forever—and still shapes how she shows up for her kids, her music, and her ministry today.

God meets us in the small moments. From parking lot prayers to cleaning up breakfast messes, Rachael reminds us that no moment is too ordinary for God's presence.

Slowing down reveals God's goodness. In a world rushing past us, Rachael encourages us to slow down, savor simple moments, and notice the ways Jesus is sitting right beside us.
