Episode 61: Becky Getz- Community During Times of Loss

Becky Getz and I originally had this conversation just weeks into the quarantine! We had no idea just how impactful this message would be to so many people! Becky Getz and her husband David knew from their 18 week ultrasound that their son Zachary would need medical intervention, but from that moment, Zachary would continue to surprise the doctors and his family. God was very faithful to this family and God and their community became the rock they leaned on during Zach's life

Episode 17: Erica Wiggenhorn: Faith is a Journey Best not Walked Alone

Erica Wiggenhorn and I talk about her love of the Bible and why she chooses to write bible studies the way she does. She is adamant about the fact that while we must be studying scripture in our own time alone with God, there is so much to be gained by studying it in community with other believers. In this community you may glean new insights, learn from the knowledge others have found, develop further application, and receive advice for real life issues. We also discuss how

John Correia is a speaker, firearms instructor, and a Youtube personality. John and I talk about faith and how that has remained a constant as he has moved from the role of pastor and professor to firearms teachers and Youtube creator.
