Kingsley Powell, Chapel Hill’s Student Ministries Director, is fairly confident in what he is doing and for whom he is doing it. We’ll talk about why he feels that way, how to combat the unique issues confronting today’s young people, and maybe a little bit about Hallmark Christmas movies.

Jason Schultz
Jason Schultz is the Executive Director of Agua Viva Ministries in Ensenada, Mexico. A second-generation missionary, Jason does not consider himself a missionary, unless maybe when he’s visiting churches in the U.S. He tells us about the many aspects of Agua Viva open to short-term mission trips from the U.S., as well as the necessary lifelines AVM provides to so many in Mexico. God stories aren’t confined by international boundaries.

Andy Davidson
Being smart, successful, in a good relationship and following your own path after growing up in the mid-west is not as great as you think it would be...if you suffer from depression. Andy Davidson talks about his personal stumbling block that is more common than we think, and is reaching higher levels during our continuing pandemic. There is one solid rock we can cling to.

Olivia Lott
Olivia Lott grew up in the church, began to focus on “getting ahead,” realized she had wandered away from her faith, then undertook to find it again and refocus her life. And that was all before she became a senior in high school. Now a senior in college, Olivia seems to have a good idea of where God is taking her, so load up some Maverick City Music tunes, and join us on her journey!

Lori Isbell
In many ways, Lori Isbell is driven...WAS driven...from an early age. But through the twists and turns of her teenage and college years, she developed a dependence on Jesus...a dependence on which she continued to rely during the difficult times of leading a local company with national operations, regardless of how high the stakes.

Pamiel Reed
“I have you now. You never have to be afraid again.” Pamiel Reed’s turn to Jesus Christ was ... memorable. She claims she just bounces along to where God wants her, but she absolutely is a tool for God to help bring “hope, peace, and healing;” things that, as you hear her story, she obviously knows a lot about.

Dave Haugen
More than 20 years ago, Dave and Tracy Haugen experienced a loss no one should go through. They could have kept it to themselves, but instead opened up to their church and have not ignored the lessons and love that came with their experience. Dave joins us to talk about a life that ended almost before it began, but continues to show us God’s provisions for our needs.

Kim and Steve Maxwell
We’ve often heard that the most common answers to prayer are “yes, no, and wait.” Rarely has anyone waited for an answer to prayer as long as Kim and Steve Maxwell. What was the answer to their prayer, and what did they learn in the meantime? Who are they now after their encounter with God’s grace and timing? We pray that you will celebrate with Kim and Steve as they tell their family’s God story.

Diana Wimber
It’s too easy to be bitter and withdrawn when you lose your spouse of 39 years. It’s also possible to look for, learn from, and lean on our Father and the love we have in Jesus. Diana Wimber placed herself in his care, and her...and Paul's...story, although one all-too many people can relate to, is one in which we all can find strength, support, and hope.
