In a world where many grapple with identity and purpose, Pastor Ed Newton’s story offers a beacon of hope. Raised by deaf parents, Ed’s early life was marked by a search for belonging and understanding. His journey took a pivotal turn on his 15th birthday when he embraced faith, setting him on a path of transformation and ministry.

Ed’s narrative is one of resilience and faith, underscored by the challenges he faced in high school, where his newfound beliefs led to unexpected discoveries. But these moments of solitude brought strength and clarity, and he realized that his life had a new direction. This journey of faith was not without its critics, including his grandfather, who questioned the financial wisdom of a life in ministry. However, Ed’s pursuit was never about wealth; it was about the truth of Jesus and discovering God’s calling in our lives.

The heart of Ed’s message is encapsulated in the phrase “Why not you?” This powerful question, first posed by a mentor, became a life message, inspiring Ed to write it on his mirror and eventually share it with others. His book, “Why Not You?” is a testament to this philosophy, encouraging readers to embrace their potential and believe in what God believes about them.

Ed’s story is a reminder that our past does not define us. Through faith and perseverance, we can overcome self-doubt and society’s expectations. His journey illustrates the transformative power of God’s purpose that guides us all.

In a world where faith and creativity often seem at odds, Jesús Canchola Sánchez’s journey offers a compelling narrative of reconciliation and growth. Growing up in a Catholic family in Chicago, Jesús’s early life was steeped in religious tradition. However, like many teenagers, he rebelled against these teachings, embarking on a journey that would take him far from the church and into the realms of leftist ideologies and diverse belief systems.

His exploration led him to Cuba, where he was exposed to communism, and later to New York City, where he immersed himself in a liberal arts education and the vibrant creative scene. Despite his distance from the church, Jesús found solace in the quiet moments spent in its presence, a testament to the enduring power of his grandmother’s faith.

As a creative, Jesús’s journey was marked by significant achievements, including the production of a film in Mexico and the publication of a children’s book. Yet, it was his return to Chicago and the church that marked a turning point. Embracing his faith once more, Jesús found a renewed sense of purpose, leading to the creation of his debut novel, “Escape from Natura Meta.”

Set in a dystopian future, the novel explores themes of faith, identity, and societal manipulation, reflecting Jesús’s own journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. As he continues to develop his voice and share stories that resonate with his faith, Jesús’s journey serves as an inspiring reminder of the power of creativity and belief.

Have you ever wondered how a book written 2000 years ago in a very different culture can still be completely relevant today?

Today’s guest is author, speaker, and podcast host Carol McLeod, the best-selling author of 16 books, and she inspires women to learn and love the Scriptures. Her latest book is called TIMELESS: The Living and Enduring Word of God. This 9-week Bible study is a personal and rich conversation filled with theology, practical application, and hope.

About Timeless: The Living and Enduring Word of God

God Speaks to Us Through Peter

Is it possible for a book written nearly 2,000 years ago to maintain its intrinsic and vital impact? Is there a demarcation point when literature is deemed old-fashioned or even archaic?

The book of 1 Peter was written nearly two millennia ago—rarely does a book of that age speak to a current generation of readers. However, the book of 1 Peter is practical, hopeful, and as up-to-date as anything written today.

“Through the living and enduring Word of God” (1 Peter 1:23)

The stunning component that sets the Word of God apart from other pieces of literature is that the Holy Spirit wrote it. The Bible is divinely inspired by the unction of the Holy Spirit and written on paper through the hands of ordinary men.

The words that the Holy Spirit spoke through Peter, the rock upon which Christ would build His church, so long ago hold dynamic power for your life today.
