My guest today and his wife have lived an extraordinary life of ministry. Once described as “mavericks,” they literally stepped out into the unknown to embrace God’s call and experienced His presence in a way that only comes through a life of obedience. Whether planting and pastoring churches, traveling the world to perform concerts, building a house in Mexico, traveling from village to village in India, or walking across America, they have followed God’s voice as He led them forward, one step at a time.
