    Jacquelyn's Story-Overcomer: Turning your Trials into a Testimony

    Send us Fan Mail You can’t always control what happens to you, but you can decide what it becomes. Ron Myers sits down with Jaclyn Williams, a woman born with serious physical challenges connected to thalidomide, the drug once used for morning sickness that caused devastating birth defects around the world. Doctors told her family she might never walk or even reach adulthood. She grew up in hospitals, endured more than two dozen major surgeries, and still found a way to stand, move forward, and live with purpose.  We talk honestly about what it feels like to carry consequences you never chose, and why “surviving” isn’t the same as “healing.” Jaclyn shares the faith that carried her through pain, the simple habit of talking to God like He’s present and listening, and the hard work of surrender when you are tired of fighting in your own strength. She also opens up about deeper wounds like rejection, abuse, and searching for love in the wrong places, and how inner healing reshaped her identity and direction.  You’ll also hear practical encouragement for anyone overwhelmed by negativity, distracted by chaos, or anxious about the future. We come back to one powerful question that reframes everything: God, what can you do with this? If you need Christian encouragement, hope after trauma, or a reminder that your story isn’t over, this conversation will meet you where you are.  If this helped you, subscribe, share it with someone who’s in a difficult season, and leave a review so more people can find these stories of hope.

    God Loves You: A Tale of Two Bikers

    Send us Fan Mail A leather vest. Work boots. The smell of beer. A biker gets nose to nose with me in a packed nightclub and tells me he can break me like a matchstick. I do the only thing I can do: I pray. Then three words come out of my mouth that I did not plan, and the whole moment turns on a dime: “God loves you.” That true story sets the tone for a conversation about how quickly we judge people by what we see and how often we miss what they are carrying underneath.  Then you meet Rick, another biker, and I ask him straight: who is Jesus to you? Rick’s answer is not religious polish. It’s gratitude, tears, and a clear confession of faith in Jesus Christ as Savior. He takes us back to a childhood moment when he asked his mom, “Who killed Jesus?” and how that single sentence followed him for decades, right up to the day after Katrina when he sat in church and heard a whisper: “Get up.” He fights it, then obeys it, walks to the altar, and says God gives him a new heart.  We talk about toughness, anger, and the hidden “drug” of intimidation, and how real strength looks like surrender, not throwing punches. Rick shares why tomorrow is not promised, why grace through faith is the only solid ground, and he prays for anyone listening who feels far from God but hungry for something real. If you need hope, redemption, or a reminder to see people with compassion, this one is for you.

    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.
