We don’t know for sure, but we think Tim Reed’s middle name just might actually be “Encourager.” We dare you to listen to this episode without feeling encouraged. After 40 years in Education, the last 30 of them spent at Arizona Christian University, Tim Reed is stepping away from his full time role with the institution. Listen to this episode to hear his heart and watch God encourage your own. It is no wonder that the Lord has blessed His ministry through thousands of very personal and meaningful relationships over his career. We were honored to have Tim as a guest and we know you will enjoy hearing from him directly as he reflects not only on where he has been, but also shares the next season of life the Lord has in store.

A three-sport athlete at Apollo high school, with multiple State Championship Titles and a love for Basketball, God used an FCA experience to save Prince Amukamara. Also a talented football player, he was recruited to play in the Big 12 for the Cornhuskers of Nebraska. It was really cold in Nebraska, and the role he was offered when he arrived wasn’t what Prince had signed up for when the coaches convinced him to attend their school. Feeling misled, betrayed, and manipulated he thought seriously about transferring to play at another school. God showed up and sustained him through the feeling of loss and disappointment. Previously an offensive standout, the great college career that followed on the defensive side of the ball led to being selected in the first round of the NFL draft. His success on the field is amazing, it is important and Prince is grateful, but he talks with us in this episode about faith, football and sanctification. Hear how God is working through his availability to further the Kingdom in ways Prince never imagined as a kid growing up in Glendale, Arizona.

In the 1980's Patrick Morley was a successful real estate professional, and an unsuccessful book author. Book sales had been less than stellar and facing a warehouse full of unmoved product, he determined that he would pass them along free of charge to pastors of local churches rather than let them sit indefinitely. God showed up and millions of people have since read “The Man in the Mirror” throughout the world. Man in the Mirror and the impact of the once-struggling book is recognized among the most influential in history. In this episode we hear from Greg English, the Area Director for the Greater Phoenix Region of Man in the Mirror, and learn how God is mobilizing men to encourage and disciple men in the context of a relationship with Jesus and one another.
