    Who Do You Belong To?

    Send us Fan Mail We wrestle with the question of identity and why “whose am I?” can bring more peace than any job title or success story. Benny shares how divorce, pride, and a life built on performance collapse into a moment of release and a real relationship with Jesus. • growing up in church while missing a personal relationship with Jesus  • a painful divorce and the spiritual cost of division  • chasing identity through a secular rock band and public approval  • a business meeting that plants a seed of faith  • Miss Linda’s persistence and the turning point at the altar  • what “release” feels like when guilt and shame lift  • traumatic brain injury, ongoing healing, and purpose through music  • “Jesus can heal the world” applied to addiction, family pain, and identity  • why pride and the constant “I” can block compassion and witness  • everyone has a stage and how to use it to point people to Jesus  Spend just five quiet minutes with God this week. Turn off the television, put down the phone, find a quiet place, and ask him one simple question: Lord, what do you want me to know about who I am in you?  If today’s conversation encouraged you, would you share with someone who needs hope?  Visit thepromoter.org and click share your story.  Would you prayerfully consider making a tax-deductible donation so that we may continue to share stories of God’s amazing grace with the world?

    What if God is Calling You?

    Send us Fan Mail A missionary story that doesn’t start with a pulpit, a seminary track, or a flawless “calling” moment can be the one that hits closest to home. I sit down with Grayson, who went back to school as an adult, found his faith sharpened through Christian education, and eventually said yes to serving in China. What follows is a vivid look at missionary life where the government is watching, gathering is complicated, and the gospel still moves from person to person with surprising speed. We talk about house church reality in China, government-sanctioned churches, and what happens when certain topics are treated as dangerous. Grayson shares the joy of seeing students come to Christ, including a week when 120 people were coming through their home for Bible study, and the long, patient conversations it can take for faith to take root. Then he tells a moment I won’t forget: a new believer insists baptism should happen in a river, so they ride bicycles for almost two hours to make it happen, read Scripture on the riverbank, and decide “now is the proper time.” The conversation turns honest about the cost too: a student who may have turned them in, police interrupting worship, and IDs being recorded. And yet even that story bends toward redemption. We also compare spiritual hunger abroad with the spiritual numbness that can grow in American comfort, and why recovering awe for God matters more than winning arguments. Grayson even lays out a simple, clear gospel summary he shared with kids at Vacation Bible School.

    The Flag, The Cross, And The Empty Tomb

    Send us Fan Mail We connect Independence Day stories and American history to the question that keeps us up at night: are we actually free on the inside. We trace real freedom to Jesus, not success, not politics, not performance, and we invite you to lay down guilt and live from grace.  • honoring those who served and remembering freedom has a cost  • asking whether we live free inside our own hearts  • contrasting political liberty with spiritual freedom in Christ  • Galatians 5:1 and the burden Jesus never asked us to carry  • Creator-given worth and why value comes before achievement  • Valley Forge as a picture of winter seasons and dependence  • Patrick Henry, John Adams, and Ben Franklin pointing beyond themselves  • why transformed people matter more than winning arguments  • the trap of chasing success and building identity on approval  • Francis Scott Key, Fort McHenry, and learning to wait with faith  • Friday defeat, Saturday silence, and Sunday resurrection hope  • what freedom looks like in daily peace and no condemnation  If today's message encouraged you, would you share it with someone who needs hope?  And please like our Facebook page.  And if God has written a redemption story in your life, I would love to hear it.

    Blaine's Story: From Dumpster Dining to Father & Son Dining

    Send us Fan Mail He was a husband, a father, and a “normal” Gulf Coast guy until addiction kept taking more than he could pay. Blaine Landrum tells Ron Myers how alcohol turned into cocaine, cocaine turned into opioids, and opioids eventually turned into crystal meth, costing him his marriage, his children, his home, and nearly his life. Then came the moment he can’t forget: hungry, homeless, and eating from a dumpster in the same neighborhood where he grew up, he got on his knees and asked Jesus for help.  What happens next is a raw look at faith-based addiction recovery in real life, not theory. We talk about the spark of hope that came from seeing a friend transformed, the decision to enter the Home of Grace, and the early days of simply getting safe, getting fed, and getting clear. From there, Blaine explains the daily work that helped him stay sober: structure, classes, mentors, renewing the mind, and building a new environment that doesn’t pull him back into old habits.  We also get honest about relapse risks, why “same people, same places” can wreck recovery, and how community support, church, Celebrate Recovery, and strong accountability can help a person rebuild. Blaine shares what life looks like now, including regained responsibilities and restored relationships, plus direct advice for anyone losing hope or loving someone who is.

    Andy Whatley: Listen to The Whisper

    Send us Fan Mail That feeling that whispers “there’s more” can get louder with every year you stay busy, stay responsible, and stay stuck. We start with a gut-check question: are you where God wants you to be, doing what He made you to do, or have you buried something you were created to carry? Our guest, blues rock musician Andy Watley, shares a story that hits home for anyone juggling faith, family, and big decisions. Andy grows up with music and sports, chases football, builds a life, raises five kids, and spends years coaching and providing. But the gift never leaves. A single on-stage moment at a benefit reignites the calling, and what begins as a few shows with his sons turns into a new season of touring, songwriting, and unexpected opportunities, including sharing stages with major artists. Along the way, Andy gets real about the cost, the criticism, and a mistake he had to own at home: not communicating clearly with his wife when the dream started pulling him forward. We also talk practical discipleship, not just inspiration: how to listen for God’s direction, how to handle naysayers, and why you do not need perfect conditions to take your first step. Ron closes with clear action steps you can start this week to move toward your purpose, serve others with your gifts, and trust Jesus with the outcome. If you’re on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, you’ll also hear how to catch Andy live at The Sanctuary in Biloxi. If this conversation stirs something in you, do not ignore it.

    Dr. Tim Keller- Greater Than Miracles

    Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing all the right things, so why do I still feel stuck,” this one gets uncomfortably honest. We’re talking about a truth that cuts through religious performance: hell doesn’t get removed by effort, it gets displaced by love, real love that shows up when Jesus changes you from the inside out.  We walk through 1 Corinthians 13 and ask a different question than “How impressive is my faith?” Instead, we ask what’s producing our life. Gifts, knowledge, ministry output, and even “wins” can look spiritual while the heart stays cold, proud, anxious, or angry. We share a powerful excerpt from Dr. Timothy Keller on why spiritual gifts can operate without a transformed inner life, and why love is more miraculous than miracles. If you’ve ever tied your identity to success, approval, or being needed, you’ll feel the warning and the relief in this message.  We also speak to those who feel overlooked or “not gifted,” because comparing yourself to other people is just another way to miss what matters most. Gifts have limits, but grace doesn’t. The goal isn’t becoming impressive; it’s becoming loving, patient, humble, and resilient because the gospel anchors you in Jesus’ finished work, not your performance.  Listen, then ask yourself our closing question: if someone looked at your life right now, would they see your accomplishments or the love of Jesus?

    Wrong Turn, Right God

    Send us Fan Mail Jamie Tidwell’s story starts where a lot of people stop: homelessness, grief after losing her husband, meth addiction, and legal trouble that leaves her exhausted and numb. What caught us off guard is how God uses small, steady moments to change a life that feels beyond repair. Jamie wasn’t raised in church and didn’t even know many Bible basics, so her first steps of faith begin with a children’s Bible, patient mentors, and a growing awareness that she’s being pursued, not discarded. We talk about the night-and-day difference between trying to manage addiction alone and choosing faith-based recovery with accountability. Jamie shares what temptation feels like early on, how stress used to trigger her, and what she does now instead: step back, pray, and let the moment pass. She explains the kind of peace she has today, the shift from anxiety to trust, and why daily time with God “coffee with Jesus” becomes a non-negotiable anchor for her mindset. This conversation also gets practical about restoration. Jamie is nearing two years sober, rebuilding relationships with her parents and kids, working again, and taking steps toward nursing license restoration. She also speaks with uncommon tenderness about street outreach, giving to homeless neighbors, and “planting a seed” because she remembers exactly what it feels like to be unseen. The core message is simple and searching: God’s rerouting is not condemnation, it’s a new path forward when you’ve taken a wrong turn. If you’ve been wrestling with addiction, anxiety, shame, or the fear that you’ve gone too far, come listen and consider what a reroute could look like for you.

    Are You Trading Blessings For Approval

    Send us Fan Mail How much of your life is shaped by what you truly believe and how much is shaped by what you hope nobody argues with? We go straight at a hard question: are we trading blessings for approval, slowly becoming “covert Christians” who blend in so well we can’t feel our own purpose anymore? Ron Myers starts with a surprising picture a beta fish that perks up the moment it’s moved from dirty water into clean water. That simple moment becomes a spiritual gut check. When we adapt to compromise, mute our faith to keep the peace, or camouflage our identity in Christ, we may avoid tension but we also lose clarity, passion, and bold confidence. Ron’s not telling anyone to pick fights; he’s calling us to stop living split lives and start telling the truth about where we’re at. You’ll also hear a powerful clip from Pastor Alan Jackson on standing firm in “fierce times,” the pressure to blend back in, and why courage works like a muscle you have to exercise. We talk about practical ways to live out Christian faith in public with grace, how to replace lies in our self talk with truth, and why approval seeking is never a good bargain. Ron closes with a simple prayer for anyone ready to invite Jesus into their life, plus a free resource to help you take the next step.
