1 Peter 1:7 says "so that the proven genuineness of your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed."
Our lives are a testament of the many fires that we have gone through, but if we have faith in the maker of all things, Jesus Christ, our faith will be of greater worth than gold itself. These are stories of genuine faith that have been tested through trials and tribulations of life. Hosted by Matt Kennedy

This week's conversation is with one of the best voices in all of sports broadcasting, the Voice of the Colorado Buffaloes, Mark Johnson. We sit down over zoom to talk about his testimony as well as how he has seen Jesus impact the realm of athletics over his 20 years being a broadcaster.
