  3. 75Episode 119: Arranged Marriages, Revolting Women Against Tyranny, and Speaking Truth to Life with Lily Meschi of Iran Alive Ministries!Today's episode is a bit of a follow up to our recent episode featuring Dr. Hormoz Shariat of Iran Alive ministries. It features Lily Meschi, the Director of Partner Relations with Iran Alive. Like virtually all Iranians, Lily grew up in a fundamentalist Muslim home, being taught that God is "always angry" with humanity, and that we should fear Him. Not in a positive way that we in the West may think of fearing God, but perpetual fear that God would judge, convict and execute for committing sins.After entering an arranged marriage, which eventually ended badly, Lily relied on the truth of the Scriptures to endure through years of abuse, isolation and uncertainty. Now Lily is alive in spirit, and works tirelessly to raise awareness of the many human rights abuses which take place in Iran - and share stories of victory over human and spiritual oppression through the power of the Gospel!In this episode, you'll learn:-Lily's story of being raised in a fundamentalist home, and finding the Lord as a young adult...04:00-How Lily's life drastically changed in wake of her father's bankruptcy in Iran...08:50-Life growing up with arranged marriages, and having eyes opened to marrying for love after leaving...15:23-Confused and isolated by enduring abuse and not being able to confide with loved ones about the struggles...21:00-Stricken by "behold, all things become new" almost immediately after praying to be set free from bondage...26:00-Leaving the troubled marriage for the sake of sanity, and the welfare of her child...30:15-Thoughts on the ongoing women's uprising in Iran from the perspective of the Gospel...36:45-What is Iran Alive up to now?...41:00-And much more...Resources mentioned:Iran AliveIran's Great Awakening by Hormoz ShariatGuest's bio and social handles:IG: @lily_meschi and @iran.alive.ministriesLily Meschi: Director of Partner Relations for Iran Alive. With a passion “to live life on purpose,” Lily Meschi serves in ministry for Iran Alive as the Director of Partners Relations.Through her own experiences as an Iranian Woman, Lily offers profound insight into the current protests in Iran for women’s rights.Lily was born and raised in a Muslim family in Tehran, Iran. At the age of 18, her family moved to the U.S. Through a chain of painful hardships relating to her rights as anIranian woman, Lily came to discover Christianity. In her freedom found in her own testimony, she has developed a heart for Iranian women who, like herself, have undergone similar oppression and loneliness.Lily often speaks on the corrupt practices of arranged marriages of young women to older men in the Middle East, amongst other norms in their societies. She takes pride in working at Iran Alive Ministries, where she can speak about cultural dispositions such as arranged marriages and the strong grip of abusive male domination in the culture.Lily first heard about Iran Alive Ministries from a satellite television program. Encouraged in hearing the Gospel from an Iranian woman in a way she could understand, her passion for Christianity grew—so much so that she went on to pursue education in Bible college, learning more about the faith and history of Christianity.Professionally, she’s operated in several Fortune 500 companies, boutique retail banking institutions and in wholesale investing in the financial industry. Today, she works full-time alongside Dr. Shariat for Iran Alive Ministries. She has recently been featured in the following media: Life Today, Charisma Magazine, The Stream, iHOPE Ministries podcast, Mission News Network, In Awe by Bruce, and Faith Radio.In ministering to the very culture from which she came, her prayer for each of the women in Iran is that they will come to know Jesus as she has and that they might experience true freedom, joy, and life in abundance. She longs to share the hope she has found with others;likewise, these women have the potential to lead multitudes of freed women following in their wake, finding Jesus through their own testimonies.Call to action:Make sure to visit yourbiggestbreakthrough.com for your FREE access to our e-book and audiobook, "Unstoppable: Divine Intervention in Overcoming Adversity," showcasing six powerful real-life stories.

  4. 76Episode 118: Invincible Joy, and Chasing "God-Sized Dreams" with Oliver AsherWe begin today's episode asking the question, "What's the difference between joy and happiness?" Wait, doesn't joy mean happiness? No, not necessarily. Joy oftentimes means seeing the good in sometimes overwhelmingly unhappy circumstances.Our guest began his walk on this earth in circumstances that may seem to be unhappy to many of us. Such as living in a tool shed with no electricity for 6 years. But through that, and even losing a sibling as a child, Oliver Asher learned to embrace God's love whether his soul was happy or sorrowful.Now Oliver specializes in international missions, helping others around the globe come to the same realization he did so many years ago. That happiness is not what we should pursue - but to be joyful in spite of our circumstances, for better or for worse.In this episode, you'll learn:-How to distinguish "joy" from "happiness" and the importance to embrace joy in all circumstances...04:30-a fresh start after a rocky beginning to life at age 14...06:15-Oliver's first "God-sized dream" was attending college at U. of Virginia...12:00-Discovering joy (not necessarily happiness) in the face of incredibly difficult circumstances...16:30-Positive influences (guardian angels) in Oliver's life...19:30-Learning to rely on God during the first years in college...22:45-Walking in faith with the decision to relocate to the DR...28:20-"Dreams" without a plan is a fantasy...31:40-The two essential questions to ask when you're pursuing a "God-sized dream"...33:10-"Invincible joy" is Jesus within you, the hope of glory...37:45-Oliver's future plans for ministry...41:30-And much more...Resources mentioned:Oliver's WebsiteGuest's bio and social handles:Instagram: @oliverasherofficialFacebookOliver and his wife Andrea graduated from the University of Virginia, married, and moved to the Dominican Republic to be missionaries - all in the space of three months. Their life together with Jesus and their 5 children has continued to be an adventure. After completing his master’s in civil engineering at UVA, the Lord called Oliver to Advancing Native Missions after he had worked as an environmental engineer. Oliver has a passion for building teams. He loves encouraging the ANM staff; and both equipping, and advocating for native missionaries as they endeavor to reach the remaining unreached people groups of the world with the Gospel of Jesus. From Oliver Asher:"I'm not an extraordinary person. I came from next to nothing, from almost nowhere. But God had a plan and a purpose for my life. He picked me up from where I was and took me places I could never have expected to go. He invited me to join him in chasing his God-sized dreams for the world. And that is where I found invincible joy. “You may have the same story. Or at least you can, and I hope you will. That's what this book is for. I pray you will benefit from my story as you follow the Lord on your own adventure from where you came to where he wants to take you. I believe, as the Lord leads, you will end up with a stronger sense of God's purpose for your life and your place in his plan for the world. That's where you can find invincible joy too."About Advancing Native Missions: Since 1992, Advancing Native Missions (ANM) has helped individual Christians and local churches get involved in global missions in ways that make sense for them. ANM believes there’s a place for everyone in God’s global mission, even if they can’t travel to distant countries and remote tribes. Instead of sending American missionaries to other countries, ANM sends and equips native missionaries to serve in their own countries. They already know the local languages and cultures, and they live on local budgets, which allows donations to go farther than with a traditional missions model. This model also contributes to local leadership, long-term outcomes, sustainable growth, and positive economic impact for communities. ANM supports missions in over 100 countries Call to action:Make sure to visit yourbiggestbreakthrough.com for your FREE access to our e-book and audiobook, "Unstoppable: Divine Intervention in Overcoming Adversity," showcasing six powerful real-life stories.

  5. 77Episode 117: How Our Rituals, and Awareness of Our Need for Jesus, Change When Apart From Our Loved OnesIn 1 Thes. 2:17-19, Paul shares how his absence from the believers in that area of the world made him - and them - long for each other's physical presence. While an absence from a loved one can be uncomfortable, even painful in certain circumstances, the adage "absence makes the heart grow fonder" rings true. While we all need a proper amount of time to ourselves, it is the absence from the ones we love that makes us truly appreciate the time we have with them.In today's episode, Todd and Wendie share how their brief separation while Wendie is attending a health summit has affected each of their daily routines and rituals, and how being apart makes them long to be with each other again!In this short solosode with Todd and Wendie, you'll learn:-We change our habits and ways when we're apart from loved ones...03:30-Separations from familiar surroundings can remind us of our dependence on God...05:45-Complete, total control over the schedule leads to increased productivity for Todd...10:40-Clarity is given to our priorities when we are separated from certain people or surroundings...15:15-The big takeaway from today's podcast...20:40-And more...Call to action:Make sure to visit yourbiggestbreakthrough.com for your FREE access to our e-book and audiobook, "Unstoppable: Divine Intervention in Overcoming Adversity," showcasing six powerful real-life stories.

  6. 78Episode 116: Jeremiah 29:11...In Heavy Metal Format with Benny DiChiara"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11This familiar scripture is the rallying cry for our guest in today's episode. Benny DiChiara suffered a TBI (traumatic brain injury) in 2015. No one knows exactly what caused him to lose consciousness and hit his head when he fell. But it put him in his place, and gave him time to rest and think on what he really should be doing with his life.After hearing a call (literally) to form a new band, he wrote the lyrics for a song based on Jeremiah 29:11. Empowered has proven to be immensely popular with the youth, and shares God's love through their music. And although Benny lost his sense of taste in the aftermath of his fall in 2015, he certainly didn't lose his zany sense of humor, as you'll hear in this episode!In this episode with Benny, you'll learn:-The "incredible accident" which brought a new awareness of God's grace...03:00-God spoke to Benny while recovering from his accident...11:15-How a lifetime church attender finally found a personal relationship with Jesus...17:11-Understand the real story of those who appear to be "successful"...25:03-The story behind Benny's new album Yahweh Nissi...28:00-"If people don't feel Jesus when we're performing, we need to just quit"...34:35-How Benny got involved with Children's Cup ministries...37:20-One thing about Benny most people don't know...42:00-And much more...Resources mentioned:Rockin 4 Jesus websiteChildren's Cup ministriesGuest's bio and social handles:Instagram: @benny777 and @empowered_rockin4jesusFacebookBenny DiChiara is not fragile, yet he understands the fragility of life. He is not lost, but he knows the aimless paths of those who wander. He is not a victim, but he has experienced life-saving salvation from the inside out. His world has been shaken, but his feet are planted firmly on the strongest of foundations. And even as he faced an abyss of the unknown, he never did so alone. In October 2015, the singer, songwriter, businessman, motivational speaker, father, and husband endured a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that placed his life and future in peril. A fall sent him to the emergency room and ICU with a concussion and closed fracture of the skull base with subarachnoid, subdural, and extradural hemorrhage. The catastrophic injury could have easily ended his life or, at the least, compromised the quality of it. "I absolutely remember nothing from the first month after my injury," he shares. "It's just gone. Once I started to come out of it, there were memory gaps, speech issues, and walking issues. Everything looked surreal." The battle for his life and mind was not easy or quick. Amid the struggle, though, he clung to the knowledge that the battle for his heart had already been won. "I liken the experience to someone who is just lost, who feels like they cannot find their way," he shares. "You have no answers. But then there's Jesus." Hand-in-hand with his Savior, DiChiara not only defied medical odds; he discovered and plumbed the depths of burgeoning creative inspiration that merged into the most recent EP from his band, Empowered, entitled Three Days. "As I recovered, the injury did not affect my ability to make music," he shares. "I was afraid I would lose that gifting. Instead, He has elevated that gift." God not only restored and magnified DiChiara’s musical gifts, He also provided back-up through the latest iteration of Benny’s band, Empowered. Shane Madere Jr. wears multiple hats as the lead guitarist, backing vocalist, and co-leader. Jeff Maddox, the youngest member, is a prodigy on bass, while also lending his vocals to the mix. Mic Capdeville consistently blows audiences away as a killer percussionist with crazy vocal chops. The group is rounded out by another stand-out talent, Justin Burdette, who simply shreds it on strings. Their talent, alongside DiChiara’s resolve and new insight, coalesced and put to song the miracle of salvation, the joy of purpose, and the unshakable, unequivocal victory that Christ claimed when He rose on the third day. "There's a lot going on in this world, and yet people are still searching," says DiChiara. "The project's title track began with this simple truth—no matter what is going on in your life, no matter what Satan is throwing at you, God took care of it. Jesus was crucified, died, was buried, and rose again for all of us. And He did it all in just three days!" DiChiara's lyrical dexterity and driving sense of musicality propel each track on this unapologetically bold project while encompassing his entire life journey from lost to found, aimless to empowered—a characteristic that, aptly, became his band's moniker. "Once someone hears and is touched in any way by the message of God's love, it's their duty to 'empower' others with that message," he shares. It's a duty he assumes with pride and intentionality, as one who knows first-hand the emptiness of a life lived apart from Christ. While he was raised in church, the truth of redemption alluded his heart and mind for years. "I considered myself a Christian, but had no idea what being a Christian meant," says DiChiara. "I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, the eldest of six children. We were raised in a liturgical church. I even served as an acolyte. All those years, I learned a lot about Jesus, but I did not know Jesus." It would be a while before a genuine relationship with his Savior took shape. He spent four years in the U.S. Navy as a hospital corpsman, enjoyed success with a regional secular rock band, and started a family. Over time, however, pieces of his life began to unravel, including his marriage. "Divorce after more than ten years was one of the hardest things I've ever gone through," DiChiara confesses. "Man, do I wish that I had truly known Jesus at that time—I believe things could have turned out differently." Five years following the divorce, while working as a floor manager for a local automobile dealership, one of his clients invited him to church. Then she asked him again. And again. Until he finally agreed to attend a service at what was then known as Trinity Christian Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. "Thank God for that sweet lady's persistence," DiChiara says. "I loved the music. I loved the message. I felt God was speaking directly to me. At the end of the service, I went forward during the altar call and gave my life to Jesus, and my life has never been the same since!" From that point, he surrendered every aspect of his world to his Savior. Fifteen years later, he is still in awe of the mighty works God set into motion. In 1998, he married Donna Lyle Schram. Their family now includes four grown children and nine grandchildren. Empowered has become a staple of the live music scene in their home state of Louisiana, sharing the stage with such powerhouse artists as Switchfoot, MercyMe, 7eventh Time Down, and Jaci Velasquez. Their latest release has generated more than 260,000 streams on Spotify alone, while the single, "Listen to the Children," debuted at #5 on IndieGospel.net's popular show, T. Roy Taylor's Top 20 Countdown. The success is indicative of the music's relevance and poignancy for such a time as this. "Society is bombarding our kids with messages that are the antithesis of the Gospel," says DiChiara. "We need to counter that with our faith and give our kids strong, Godly guidance on these issues. But we can't do that without communicating. We need to listen to our children so we can hear what the world is telling them, and counter it with the Gospel of Jesus Christ." Track after track, DiChiara does just that, imbuing each song with timeless, eye-opening truth. From the title track that "points the world to the King of Kings," to the crunchy guitars on the electrically charged anthem "Rock Bottom," God's unconditional grace takes center stage. "Jesus is our rock," shares DiChiara. "The good news is that no matter how far down you fall, you don't have to live there.” "Sometimes we get caught up in our own little world and fail to see what God has in store for us on a deeper, more personal level," he continues. "It's like living inside of a snow globe—all you see is snow when your world gets shaken. It takes someone outside of the snow globe (God) to show us the bigger picture." For the last five years, Benny has had quite a view, not to mention more than one shake-down. Even now, his TBI and its cause remain somewhat of a mystery, while the effects are lingering. "The doctors never did figure out why my fall occurred. But, thank God, I recovered mostly," DiChiara says. "There are a few after-effects—I have an occasional memory lapse, and I have no sense of taste or smell due to the frontal lobe crush that happened during the fall. Ultimately, though, this event has only strengthened my relationship with Christ.” “There is something in the silence and peace that He brings in this type of situation,” he continues. “I always thought that God's voice was this huge, booming command. I found that it's gentle, caring, loving, compassionate, and understanding. It's peace. There is no doubt that He saved me for48 min

It's much more prevalent than you may have imagined.Our guest today, Cristóbal Krusen was blessed with a beautiful boy.

In this episode, Cristóbal opens up about his own journey of personal struggle and eventual victory over his own fears and shame.And you'll definitely want to stick around to the end to hear an encouraging development in Daniel's recovery!In this episode with Cris, you'll learn:-Discovering Cristóbal’s son suffers mental illness, and the aftermath which followed...06:30-Christianity is not a "quick fix" to the trials we experience in life...11:45-The one thing Cristóbal wishes viewers to take away from his film, Let Me Have My Son...15:00-The many reactions and emotions experienced in the wake of Daniel's mental illness...19:15-God is love; allow Him to hold your hand while walking through these trials...25:30-Start with prayer if you sincerely desire to get to the other side of the trial...31:30-Follow the tears, and you'll find the source of your comfort...37:10-One word or phrase Cristóbal would use to describe who he is...40:30-And much more...Resources mentioned:Let Me Have My Son filmGuest's bio and social handles:Instagram: @letmehavemyson and @criskrusenFacebookCristóbal Krusen was born and raised in Tampa, Florida, the third of four children. Early in life, he showed a keen interest in literature, reading many of the classics while still in grade school and cherishing the ambition that one day he would become a writer. He entered Harvard University in 1971, majoring in English literature, intent on making his mark as a poet and novelist. A growing interest in photography and filmmaking, however, led him to transfer to New York University where he changed majors and graduated with a BFA in Film and Television in 1976. He later attended Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California where he received his MFA in Film in 1989.Cristóbal founded Messenger Films in 1988 and has worked as a writer/director of film and television ever since, helming productions in more than twenty countries. He is best known for Final Solution, More Than Dreams, Undaunted, Sabina K. and most recently, Let Me Have My Son. Over the last several years, Cristóbal has also begun fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming a writer. He is the author of Undaunted, They Were Christians, and Let Me Have My Son.Working in multiple languages as a filmmaker, Cristóbal is known for a poetic visual style and the ability to draw intimate performances from actors. Above all, he is a “storyteller” who delights to engage his audience while addressing the deepest needs of the human heart.From the Director:“Let Me Have My Son is based on my personal experience coming to grips with my firstborn son’s struggles with severe mental illness. Daniel has suffered. His family has suffered. Yet all our troubles and heartache shall be redeemed. Of that I am sure. The hope of the resurrection is not a consolation prize; it is the cornerstone of the Christian faith and represents the very heartbeat of our movie.Let Me Have My Son is not a documentary, nor an effort to promote the latest scientific breakthrough or miracle cure for the scourge of mental illness. Nor is it our intention with the film to stir up controversy for the sake of controversy or advocate for sweeping changes in the mental healthcare system – even where change in the system might be indicated. More than anything else, Let Me Have My Son is intended as a heartfelt expression of the longing we all have as human beings to make sense of our greatest pain and suffering. I can speak from personal experience that medicine alone cannot solve the problem of mental illness. Indeed, if we are looking for doors of healing and understanding to open in this life only, we are setting ourselves up for disappointment beyond words.According to WHO (World Health Organization), mental disorders affect one of four people worldwide. And let’s be real… This is an issue probably close to you as well, at least to some degree. Maybe it’s not in your immediate family… Perhaps it’s your cousin… an aunt or uncle far away… the neighbor’s son across the street. The question becomes what do we do when faced with a situation as intractable as severe mental illness? Our approach in Let Me Have My Son is to venture down a spiritual path, bringing hope and empathy to the hurting.”Call to action:Make sure to visit yourbiggestbreakthrough.com for your FREE access to our e-book and audiobook, "Unstoppable: Divine Intervention in Overcoming Adversity," showcasing six powerful real-life stories.

  10. 82Episode 112: An Insider's Look at the Spiritual Revival Occurring in a Longtime Islamic Stronghold with Dr. Hormoz ShariatOur guest on today's episode has been called the "Billy Graham of Iran" by Joel Rosenberg. Dr. Hormoz Shariat grew up in a Muslim household in Iran, and found himself wondering "what does all this mean?" They recited the prayers day after day, yet there was no inward stirring. Hormoz got a bitter taste of what the Islamic religion is capable of by a government that embraces it as its official religion when his brother was murdered by the regime two years after being jailed for what would be regarded as a misdemeanor crime in America.Rather than despising his brother's murderers, Hormoz used the power of his faith in Jesus to minister to his fellow Iranians through live broadcasts on the state-sponsored television stations.This interview will inspire you to take action in the face of overwhelming evil - and to acknowledge the true source of evil in this world, showing mercy toward those who are misled into doing Satan's deeds.We invite you to scroll down a bit and see how you can get a copy of Hormoz' book Iran's Great Awakening, and receive text updates on what is going on with the Iran Alive ministries!In this interview with Hormoz, you'll learn:-Family life in Iran, and finding Jesus in an Islamic culture...06:10-The moment Hormoz found Jesus through "researching" Jesus...08:30-A janitor at Hormoz' wife's work leads both of them to Jesus, and saves their marriage...13:30-So many Muslims are indifferent to religion in general - but is a vibrant spiritual life...15:21-Hormoz answers the call to minister to Muslims...18:45-Why Hormoz loves Muslims, in spite of atrocities committed by the Islamic government of Iran...21:10-The "logical" reason Muslims are so resistant to Christianity...25:45-Incredible conversion stories and miracles witnessed in person by Dr. Hormoz...31:30-How Iran Alive is utilizing artificial intelligence as a ministry tool...42:16-How you can pray for Iran and Iran Alive Ministries...45:45-And much more...Resources mentioned:Iran Alive MinistriesText the word "Iran" to 85789 to opt-in to text updates from Iran AliveIran's Great Awakening, by Dr. Hormoz Shariat (Get a copy for free when you make a contribution to Iran Alive)About our guest:Dr. Hormoz Shariat is the founder of Iran Alive Ministries, which utilizes satellite TV to broadcast Christian programming to a potential audience of 130 million in Iran and the Middle East. Dr. Shariat has been called “the Billy Graham of Iran,” by best-selling American Israeli author, Joel Rosenberg.Iran Alive uses modern technology to share the Gospel, train believers and fuel a discipleship-making movement. Dr. Shariat’s ministry broadcasts life-giving messages 24/7 to some of the darkest regions of the world, spreading the gospel of Christ to oppressed Islamic-run Iran. Where it is illegal to gather for a Christian church service, the 24/7 broadcast steps in, connecting and discipling the underground Church. Dr. Shariat has an audience of an estimated 6 million daily viewers (and 20 million weekly viewers) of his satellite program in Iran.With call centers, their 4:12 training school, college discipleship, Bible smuggling, and more — the ministry supports the movement of God in Iran. Iran’s population is about 84 million people and only about 2 million people identify as Christians. The church in Iran is one of the most persecuted in the world due to severe governmental restrictions on practicing Christianity. No church gatherings are permitted in Iran. Bibles are prohibited and difficult to find in Iran. Hopelessness and despair have caused the suicide rate and drug addictions to skyrocket.As a solution, Iran Alive Ministries provides:Evangelism: Satellite TV allows for 24/7 broadcasts of Gospel messages, biblical teachings, and Christian content across Iran and other Farsi-speaking regions like Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.Discipleship: The 4:12 Discipleship School provides teaching, training, and mobilizes new Iranian believers for the work of ministry.Community: Iran Alive connects new believers to underground house churches and online churches in Iran.Bible Distribution: Bibles are smuggled in and distributed to believers through the underground church network.Dr. Shariat has been doing ministry among Muslim-born Iranians as a Muslim background believer for the last 40 years. Iran Alive Ministries was birthed 22 years, ago and is using modern technology to share the Gospel, train believers, and fuel a discipleship-making movement in Iran. Thousands of Iranians are coming to Christ each year through this ministry. In his book, “Iran's Great Awakening” Dr. Shariat shares his spiritual journey out of Islam to Christianity, Biblical prophesies about Iran, and the strategies to transform a nation like Iran.Call to action:Make sure to visit yourbiggestbreakthrough.com for your FREE access to our e-book and audiobook, "Unstoppable: Divine Intervention in Overcoming Adversity," showcasing six powerful real-life stories.

  15. 87Episode 107: A Clarion Call to "Get Your Brave On" When Life Kicks You In the Teeth. Amanda CarrollDivorce. It's the last thing any married person wants to hear or consider. Yet, it's sometimes inevitable. The other party sometimes just loses interest in the other person, loses sight of the vision they once had for their marriage. What are you to do? Amanda Carroll's former husband told her one night he was leaving her and their three children. Her response? "We're out of milk."

Amanda reframed her thinking. Rather than being "that woman" who is salvaging an identity from a failed marriage, she was given the opportunity to start fresh with her life - right when most of her peers are in the middle of theirs, sometimes in their own unhappy marriages.We hope that in listening to our conversation with Amanda Carroll, you'll come away encouraged and energized, ready to "Brave Life" and kick those sorrows in the teeth!In this episode, you'll learn:-Amanda's early faith journey and getting involved in faith-based media...06:00-The providential leap to prominence in the #4 media market in the U.S...11:00-"We're out of milk": survival mode in the midst of personal crisis...14:45-Grace, not judgment, is shown at the darkest hour...19:12-Reorienting during an unexpected "pit stop" in life...22:30-"This is God."

A year later her personal hashtag propelled her forward, and she was able to rebuild her life, move across the country, and start her dream job...all before her oldest started kindergarten.

  16. 88Episode 106: The Journey to Glory Isn't Without Its Pitfalls and Roadblocks with Richard Ronsisvalle"Serve God," they said. "It will be fun!" they said. "Your life will be infinitely better," they said.While we don't really know who "they" are, we do know that serving God is sometimes touted as a blissful experience, that once you do so you'll never experience pain or heartache.The reality could not be further from that. Sometimes we put our faith in God, only to have a tragedy occur such as the loss of a child. The mother of our guest, Richard Ronsisvalle, had that very thing happen, and nearly lost her fledgling faith as a result. But she resolved to strengthen her faith, and in turn led every last one of her 11 children to God.As a very young man, Richard heard the call to preach the gospel. This meant turning down many offers from some of the biggest studios in America who wanted to record his beautiful baritone voice so he could fulfill his calling.Service to God meant forsaking everything dear to attend 24/7 to his wife who had developed dementia and Alzheimer's. While finding a fine nursing home would have been convenient, and on the surface would have allowed Richard to perform his ministry, he chose the inconvenient (and far less lucrative) path of honoring the scriptural admonition for a man to love his wife, even as Christ loved the church.We hope you'll listen to today's episode and find courage to persevere through any challenge you're enduring and ultimately find true joy in obeying God over pursuing any personal or earthly ambition!In this episode, you'll learn:-How Richard's parents had a marriage arranged by their parents, and truly by God...05:30-A special child is born into the Ronsisvalle family, but sadly passes at age 3...12:15-How God used the tragedy of baby Jimmy to help Richard's mother find a breakthrough in faith...15:00-Never underestimate the power of the presence of God while at church in person with other believers...20:30-Why Richard turned down multiple recording contracts with some of the biggest platforms in America because of his calling to preach the gospel...24:00-Richard's current ministry is borne from a calling shared by a pastor friend....29:21-How Richard met his wife - while trying to set her up with his older brother...35:06-Unconditional love illustrated through Richard's care for his wife while she was seriously ill...40:25-A call to men to love our wives and walk in obedience, even when it appears God has abandoned us....47:30-A prayer for our listeners to be strengthened in the Spirit...53:00Resources mentioned:Reality 21Guest's bio and social handles:FacebookRichard Ronsisvalle was born in Washington, DC and now resides in Central Florida. He is considered to be one of America’s foremost teaching preachers and one of the most unique singers in Gospel music. Richard is the author of various books and has produced several musical recordings. He has served as a senior pastor and presently ministers in seminars and conferences throughout the United States and many countries around the world. Richard Ronsisvalle is the President of Reality 21 which sponsors the world outreach of This ministry. Richard is a member of a large family in which all eleven siblings have become Christians and has led his own family of two children to become believers. As a result, he conducts family seminars on how a family can realize God’s vision for their lives. The results are miraculous.If the message of the Gospel is not a true description of reality, it is not in any way truth at all. Richard Ronsisvalle travels throughout the United States and into many nations of the world providing a revelation of reality through Jesus to individuals who are searching for the real meaning in life. Richard’s passion is to teach the Word of God in every dimension not only to produce converts but to ultimately develop true disciples. He preaches and teaches individuals how to move from the realm of the natural into the supernatural realm of faith in Jesus Christ as the one who died on the cross to provide salvation for everyone.

We make thousands of them everyday.Some decisions are trivial. Some will affect your life forever, for better or worse.Believe it or not, some of those seemingly minor decisions turn into major life events.
