This week on the podcast, hosts Mike Nawrocki and Tricia Goyer sit down with author Emmanuel Jean Russell to talk about his powerful new book, Hello! My Name Is Emmanuel.
In Hello! My Name Is Emmanuel (Tyndale, September 2025), Emmanuel Jean Russell—adopted son of bestselling author Karen Kingsbury—shares a deeply moving story of faith, adoption, identity, and finding home.
Born in Haiti, Emmanuel was lovingly raised by his grandmother, who regularly reminded him that his name means “God is with us.” His life took a dramatic turn when he was adopted into the Kingsbury family, launching a journey that reshaped his understanding of family, belonging, and God’s constant presence.
Through the lens of adoption, Emmanuel reflects on what it means to be chosen, loved, and guided by God—even through uncertainty and change. His story is a reminder that God is with us in every season, no matter where our story begins.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:This hope-filled conversation is perfect for families, educators, ministry leaders, and anyone interested in Christian books on adoption, faith stories, and God’s presence in everyday life.
Listen now for an inspiring discussion on faith, identity, and the beautiful ways God writes our stories.

What if the greatest danger to your faith isn’t rebellion—but delay?In this message, “For Christ’s Sake,” Pastor Jennie Lusko reminds us that how we use our time matters far more than we realize. Jesus, just days before the cross, tells two back-to-back parables in Matthew 25 to show us what it looks like to live ready for His return and faithful with what He’s entrusted to us.Many of us aren’t intentionally rejecting God… we’re just putting Him off, living with spiritual time-blindness.In this sermon, you’ll discover:What spiritual time-blindness looks like—and how to break free from itSeven ways to manage spiritual time-blindness and live with urgency, purpose, and surrender in light of Christ’s returnWhy every moment, every gift, and every opportunity matters for eternityThis message is a call to wake up, to stop delaying obedience, to stop drifting spiritually, and to start living fully, faithfully, and urgently—for Christ’s sake.NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon’t miss a video!

Companies love to talk about themselves—how they started, what they value, what makes them different. But your story isn't what sells. In fact, it could be what's holding you back. When your pitch, your website, or your brand story starts with you, your potential customers tune out fast. Why? Because they're not looking for a hero. They're looking for help. And if you don't lead with their problem, they'll find someone else who does. So how do you tell your story in a way that actually connects, converts, and grows your business?In this episode, Donald Miller unpacks why most businesses fumble their messaging when they lead with their own story, and shows you how to do it right. You'll learn the real purpose of your company's story, exactly when to tell it, and the simple storytelling formula that turns your backstory into a trust-building, revenue-driving asset. If you've ever wondered how to make your origin story matter, this episode shows you exactly how.

Can't see the forest for the trees? Dr. John Neufeld helps us grasp the big picture of Jesus' life by exploring how the four Gospels each offer a unique perspective—Matthew's Jewish Messiah, Mark's Son of God, Luke's perfect man, and John's declaration of deity. As we begin a journey through Matthew 19-20, Dr. Neufeld sets the scene: Jesus is leaving Galilee for the final time, heading toward Jerusalem with growing crowds—and an approaching cross.
The Ministry of Our Lord: Join Dr. John Neufeld for a journey through Matthew 19-20, where Jesus makes His final trip to Jerusalem. The crowds are growing, expecting triumph and glory. But what Jesus teaches is startling: humility over greatness, sacrifice over power. This Messiah will not rule from a throne—He will reign from a cross. Discover what it means to follow a suffering King.
