The Austin Stone Podcast

“If God is so loving, then why would He smite me with albinism?”

Born with albinism and legally blind, Jimmie grew up in a small Oklahoma town where people constantly ridiculed him for the way he looked. This led him to despise God and search for his identity in music and drugs.

By the grace of God and through a discipleship relationship with an ex-drug dealer, Jimmie experienced the love and forgiveness of Jesus, and his life changed forever.

Halim Suh continues our "This Matters" series by teaching on why we worship from 1 Corinthians 10:31 and Psalm 95:1-8.

“It was more than homosexuality. Holistically, I was a sinner. I needed Jesus to save the whole of me.” 

Raised fatherless, Jackie was molested by a family friend and introduced to pornography at an early age. She grew up living in a fog of drugs while struggling with gender confusion and having homosexual desires. At 17, she was in a relationship with another woman, but soon found herself longing for something more.

Matt Carter kicks off our "This Matters" series by teaching on why we preach (and why we preach the way that we do) from 1 Corinthians 14:23-25.

Chad Kincer kicks off our "This Matters" series by teaching on why we preach (and why we preach the way that we do) from 2 Timothy 4:1-2.

“The only thing I could say was, ‘Daddy, I love you’, and my own flesh and blood—my dad—turned and walked out the house and didn’t say a word.”

Jimmy lived most of his life questioning why his dad left him at such a young age. But he was compelled by the gospel to love and pursue his estranged father in an effort to extend forgiveness and reconciliation.

Matt Carter leads us through a time of storytelling and reflection on all that God has done and is doing through the people of The Austin Stone for His glory.
