To give context for our season covering the Ambassador Baseball Team and A Life Worth Following Ministries, we need to share Justin Sullivan's story. Justin was an exceptional kid who died tragically not long after he graduated from high school. In this re-released episode, we sit down with Jenn Jewell, Justin's cousin, and Sydni Chappell, Justin's sister, as they share with us how God walked them through their devastating loss. Grab a box of tissues, and tune into this amazing story of God's faithfulness in the darkest of moments.

Our story is one full of tragedy and is yet full of the hope of redemption. Justin Sullivan was a stand-out kid, who lived out what he said he believed about Jesus. He was tragically killed in a car accident on June 3rd, 2002. Following his death, many have come to Christ, and there have been some miracles regarding the legacy ministry started in his honor. That is our story. Join us for our introductory episode as we establish the beginning of the Ambassador baseball ministry and the start of A Life Worth Following.

In our culture, men and women are at war to be the most important; Jesus models that we are both equally important. In fact, a church cannot be a healthy one unless we value each other the way Jesus exemplifies. Amber Hudler brings a fantastic voice to our show as we discuss women in ministry — the why it matters and how churches can make a way. Now more than ever, we need all hands on deck to share the Gospel. Amber serves as the kids minister at First Baptist Church Owasso and has served the church in a variety of teaching and leadership roles.

As followers of Jesus, we should really lean into the depth of who Jesus is and how He taught. Join us today to hear from Peter Williams, a renowned Bible scholar and teacher at the Tyndale House Cambridge in the UK, a place where Bible scholars from around the world gather to dive deeply into the Word of God. In his most recent book, The Surprising Genius of Jesus, Williams explains how Jesus spoke to teach both the most simple of audiences, while also referencing things the greatest of scholars could have caught.

Peter also addresses some Q&A style questions, like what resources pair well to understand scripture more fully and how should we respond as Bible following Christians to the LGBTQ+ movement.
