Friday nights often involve pizza and a movie at our house... and that's one of the reasons our special guest today inspires me! Ryan Rasar is the new Vice President of CRISTA Senior Living, our wonderful sister ministry. It's so cool that he spends most Friday nights serving the Lord via Seattle's Union Gospel Mission. Join Ryan and I for a conversation about why he goes on Search and Rescue missions on FRIDAY nights, what it's like working at a faith-based organization, and what happened at Boeing that changed his life.

Press PLAY to stoke YOUR passion to serve!

You are Loved, Erica

What does it really look like to live without fear? For Jon Reddick, it all comes down to one thing—following Jesus. Trusting His lead, even when things don’t make sense. And today, Jon has a big reason to celebrate: his wife is officially cancer-free after walking through a tough battle with colon cancer! Through all the ups and downs, God showed up—bringing peace, strength, and healing every step of the way. Jon’s story is a beautiful reminder that when we follow the One who’s in control, fear doesn’t get the final say.

That’s where The Lost Stuffy Project steps in—founded by the ever-compassionate Randy, a certified child life specialist with a heart as big as a teddy bear’s hug. This sweet and soulful initiative is on a mission to reunite children with their beloved stuffies lost during disasters like wildfires and floods.
