    POWERFUL TESTIMONY | From Broken Trust to Finding Home: Marriage, Miracles, and Foster Care Ministry w Ryan Cummings

    In this episode of The Unquenchable Fire Podcast, host Colton Kirkpatrick sits down with his good friend Ryan Cummings who shares his testimony that challenges the idea that faith must begin with a dramatic conversion moment. Instead, Ryan's story is one of grace unfolding slowly through relationships, marriage difficulties, the local church, and a journey through different Christian denominations. Eventually, God used that journey to root them in a church where faith, doctrine, and community aligned and where Ryan now helps lead a foster care agency partnering directly with churches to serve children from broken families.

    POWERFUL TESTIMONY | Freedom from Alcohol Addiction | "One Step of Obedience" with Josh Mullins

    **Apologies for the slight issue with Josh's mic volume toward the end of the podcast. Not sure what happened but will fix it before the next episode! In the Narrow Room, Colton Kirkpatrick hosts Josh Mullins in this in this powerful testimony where Josh shares his journey of breaking free from alcohol addiction 11 years ago through faith in Jesus Christ. Rather than a dramatic overnight transformation, Josh’s story is one of small, faithful steps of obedience that led to lasting freedom, healing, and a restored relationship with God. If you’re struggling with addiction, feeling stuck in cycles you can’t seem to break, or wondering if God can really meet you where you are, this conversation offers honest hope. Josh’s testimony reminds us that obedience often comes before clarity — and that Jesus is faithful to meet us in each step. 📖 “Let your light shine before others…” — Matthew 5:16 ▶️ In this episode, you’ll hear about: • What Josh's life looked like before faith • Overcoming his his dependance on alcohol • How one step of obedience changed everything • Why freedom is often a process, not a moment • Encouragement and advice for anyone walking a similar road 00:00-16:58 Intro, alcohol & family 16:58-20:13 Confession vs testimony 20:13-27:24 What is a testimony of faith? 27:24-33:14 Why are people hesitant to share their testimony? 33:14-54:46 Life pre-conversion (DUI, night in the drunk tank) 54:46-01:07:02 Josh's conversion: one step of obedience 01:07:02-01:14:38 Power of your God-given gifts & fellowship 01:14:38-01:25:57 Life now & advice ppl struggling w/ addiction 🙏 If this story encouraged you, consider liking, subscribing, and sharing it with someone who may need hope today.

    All of Life for Christ: Knowing Jesus Beyond Religion with Pastor Shad Baker

    In this episode, “All of Life for Christ: Knowing Jesus Beyond Religion,” I sit down with Pastor Shad Baker who has spent 21 years as a pastor in South Central PA. Together we explore what it really means to know Jesus personally, not just know about Him. What we cover: 🔥 Knowing Jesus vs. Knowing About Jesus Why information, doctrine, and tradition can never replace a living relationship with Christ and how Jesus modeled relational discipleship rather than religious performance. 🔥 Lukewarm Christianity in America Why distraction, busyness, and routine are crippling spiritual hunger and how believers can fight for authenticity and relationship with Christ (Matthew 7:21–23, 2 Cor. 13:5). 🔥 The Cross & the Father–Son Relationship A powerful look at what happened when Jesus bore our sin and why understanding that moment changes how we relate to Him. 🔥 Dangerous Trends in the Modern Church – The rise of the “soft” gospel – Reinterpreting Scripture through feelings – Politics in the pulpit Time Stamps: 00:00-02:56 His Church's vision statement "All of Life For Christ" 02:56-11:21 Politics in the Church & in Jesus' ministry 11:21-19:21 Rules based Religion vs Relationship with Christ 19:21-23:58 Loving other servanthood 23:58-41:16 Jesus' vision for discipleship 41:16-45:42 Surrendering to Christ 45:42-49:27 Why do we pray (and the benefits) 49:27- 01:04:13 How to combat against a lukewarm faith 01:04:13-01:10:19 The problem with an "Inoffensive Gospel" 01:10:19-01:15:26 The Cross & the Gospel message 01:15:26-01:26:34 Rapid Fire Questions
