The Mike Gilland Show

Kevin McCarthy (no, not the former speaker of the house) is well known for his sage advice to businesses and individuals, helping them find their "two-word purpose." His books are popular, and his viewpoints are not only spot on, they are downright entertaining as well. In this episode, Kevin discusses what he calls "Living Water Conversations."

Both Kevin Urichko and Rebecca Lang served on the same staff at a local church for a number of years. Now, they have partnered for an outreach center with a permanent presence in the Altamonte Springs area, in a building known as "The Lighthouse." Both guests on today's show talk about Shepherd Ministries (no relation to the Shepherd Radio), and the many groups they serve.

Today's guests are both part of the The Liberty Counsel, working with Matt Staver. Michelle Archival is the Director of Admissions for Liberty Counsel's new school project called "Covenant Journey Academy." Holly Meade is the VP of Media for The Liberty Counsel.

Retired engineer, Wilson Gonzalez, used to live in Orlando working for Lockheed Martin. While here, he enjoyed being a weekend warrior musician, traveling all around with a cover band. His nickname, was "Firefingers,"because he played with speed and precision. Wilson grew up the son of a pastor and has a heart for church and serving as a musical missionary.

Welton James has had a knack, a God-given ability that has followed him most of his life. At the encouragement of some family members, he began writing down the bits of wisdom that he received in his heart, and that he would utter to others in conversation. They were so catchy and effective that those little proverbial sayings began being called "Weltonisms." Now, that is the title of his book. Welton also brings news about Christian Help.

Mindi Foster is an author, but also a trained self-defense instructor. She is also a voluntary missionary. All of these passions have come together in her life. She loves seeing people set free from depression and discouragement, and she also loves to spread the best news ever, the Gospel of Jesus. Mindi's book is called "The Daily Dose."

Mike interviews author Jerry Willbur, a retired psychologist who writes what many have said to be fiction with an almost eerily prophetic sense. He makes the statement that lying politicians are a fact of life, and his first book "Rise of the Blue Rebelliion" is an interesting read. Also, updates from the niece of Martin Luther King Jr. - Dr. Alveda King updates us on her meetings in Washington, DC, and finally an NFL update from AP writer Rob Maaddi.

One of Mike's friends and frequent guests returns today, sharing an amazing yet obscure passage from the book of Joel. Andy Searles leads Casselberry's "Church Together," and he has not only a pastor's heart for his congregation, but also for his community. His involvement is deep, and includes the role of chaplain for the professional soccer club in Orlando.

Judd Saul never dreamed he would be a leader of a ministry, and certainly not one that gives aid to those in persecution in Nigeria. He studied filmmaking at Full Sail in Orlando, but God's call on Judd's life was to become involved in helping those under Muslim persecution in Nigeria. Also, a return visit with Robert Borelli, author of "THE WITNESS", and the subject of a new documentary.

Longtime business leader and CEO John Crossman is a respected voice throughout Florida and beyond. He is a person of great faith in Christ, with great conviction about being a connector in our communities. John is an author and podcaster, hosting two weekly shows called "The Crossman Conversation," and "The Crossman Conversation:CEO Edition." John and Mike talk about the role that we have in giving hope to those around us, and how to push through a culture that is progressively going a different direction.
