    Mark Mullins is truly a living miracle. At the age of 14, he was an eyewitness to the sudden and violent death of both of his parents. He will talk in detail about that horrific day. But his story is much more. Mark will talk about his meandering journey during the next 43 years of his life, the ups and downs of it all, and how he eventually not only learned to live with what happened but how he found peace.  Due to the graphic nature of part of this story, listener discretion is advised.

    My guest is my friend and fraternity brother, David Bishop, whose life journey has taken him from a place of affluence to a place of being, in his words, penniless, isolated, and occasionally homeless.

  • #104 Why Not Us w/Sandy & Jeri Harris

    Sandy & Jeri Harris are both now confined to home. With real physical limitations, their days now consist of sitting side by side in their den in recliners - all day every day and night.  In spite of their circumstances, their positive attitude is contagious - and could only come from God above whom they trust wholeheartedly.  When they are asked why they think God would allow them to go through what they are going through, their answer is quick and clear. Why not us?   Get ready to be truly inspired.
