Time With Giants

As followers of Jesus, we are to give generously, but does God care where and how we give? We believe Jesus intends for us to support local churches with our giving because we can do more when we work together. Join us in this discussion on why giving to the local church matters.

Churches often have strong opinions on how children should be discipled in the church. Some hold strongly that kids should sit under the preaching with their parents while others believe discipleship is more effective with kids in their own age appropriate environment. Join us as we dig into this topic and our church's philosophy at First Baptist Owasso with our children's minister, Amber Hudler.

When Justin Sullivan died, we were crushed and confused why God would allow this to happen. Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose," but in grief it's hard to see God's purposes. Billy Turner, who we spend time with today, gives us a glimpse of something God has used Justin's death for - to help provide safety on the roads. The circumstances of Justin's death are all too common; the trucking industry has a problem. After hearing several stories like Justin's, Billy created a trucking part that will prevent deaths and accidents from trailer tires in the future. Please join us for this inspiring conversation with Billy Turner.

Adrian Savedra has been in the room since the launch of the Ambassadors. His perspective and testimony to how God has moved among us through A Life Worth Following Ministries is powerful. God's handprint is everywhere in our story! If you need encouragement that God sees you and cares about the details of your life, check out this episode.

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.
