“The story of my life… I was born. I was born again when I put my faith in Jesus. And now I serve my Savior, my Lord, my Brother, my Friend, my Prophet, my Priest, and my King. Jesus is all that! He is the “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” I am looking forward to one day meeting Him face to face on the other side of eternity. And until then, I am going to tell everyone in the world about Him.”
– Nelson Briggs

Listen to the Be Bold for Jesus Podcast to be encouraged, inspired and empowered to go out and share your faith with others. Today we are hearing from Keith Carpenter.

Keith is the Pastor of Epic Life Church in North Seattle, which he planted in 2009. He has been married for 32 yrs, with four sons, one daughter-in-law, and a granddaughter. Keith leads a pastor network in North Seattle of 23 churches and is highly engaged in the business district of Aurora Ave. N. in the NORA neighborhood, and has led Epic Life in starting a for-profit coffee business-as-mission, a food bank, and a non-profit organization that leads the neighborhood in bringing life to the community, called For North Seattle. 
 
Pastoring in North Seattle along the Aurora Corridor has been a daily challenge as Epic Life engages with marginalized people, crime, homelessness, prostitution, and businesses of ill repute. This challenge is also instrumental in a very diverse community of believers.
 
Keith also leads ministry trips into southern Peru, coffee-origin trips to Nicaragua, and prayer Hikes through western China’s Tibetan region in places where the Gospel has never been heard and there are no existing Christian witnesses.

Listen to the Be Bold for Jesus Podcast to be encouraged, inspired and empowered to go out and share your faith with others. Today we are hearing from Darin Patzer of Shine 104.9.

Darin Patzer:
I like the idea of “being a disciple of Christ…cleverly disguised as a radio station manager.”
One of my Favorite Bible texts is: Proverbs 3:5,6. I’ve seen in my own life how if I trust in the Lord with all my heart, and lean not on my own understanding, and in all my ways acknowledge Him…that He will direct my paths. I’ve seen how God has guided and blessed me and my family as we seek first the Kingdom of God. We try to seek God and spend some time with Him each morning, and then to try to recognize His presence with us throughout each day. What if a day is wasted if we have not spent some time seeking God?

With a couple of brief exceptions, I have lived nearly my entire life here in the Pacific NW, and consider Spokane my homeland, and my “mission field.” My goal is that Spokane be a Lighthouse to the rest of the country and to the world, for Jesus Christ!

I have been married to my best friend Natalie, since 1998 and we have a 20-something girl, a late-teen boy, a Cavapoo dog (Poco), occasionally some chickens and still one cat, last I checked.
I’m a sports and fitness enthusiast, and I enjoy hiking out around Spokane, like to Big Rock (which is also near where our Shine 104.9 tower is located). Summer is a favorite time of year as I enjoy golf, tennis/pickleball, softball, water sports, hiking, biking country roads. We enjoy the lovely seasons of the PNW.

Having experienced the loss of a much loved family member, and dear friends, I live in eager anticipation for the “second coming” of Jesus on resurrection morning. I am merely a traveler, this world is not my home. I know I am a broken sinner, but by grace I hope my life will give as many others as possible a happier picture of God our Father and his Son Jesus Christ - so they will want to join us in relationship in heaven, too!

I love to hear from listeners. Please send me an email at: manager@shine1049.org.

Listen to the Be Bold for Jesus Podcast to be encouraged, inspired and empowered to go out and share your faith with others. Today we are hearing from J.R. Covey of Fearproof.

For nearly a decade J.R. Covey has been helping individuals find victory in the arena of fear through a 6-week Bible-based group curriculum which he created called Fearproof. The list of attendees includes representatives from over 20 different countries, ranging from mid-teens to late eighties. The stigma and shame associated with being "afraid" has caused many people to reject the notion that they even deal with these expectations. He defines fear as "the expectation of a negative outcome" which is a condition experienced by everyone with a fully functioning nervous system. J.R. helps clients identify core beliefs which are maladaptive and contrary to scripture. Once those expectations are acknowledged the tools provided allow everyone to create new narratives in order to rewire their limbic system for higher functioning. His ministry has extended to Eastern Europe having spent many months living abroad with his family supporting the efforts to end human trafficking and see survivors rehabilitated.

Bryan is an entrepreneur, real estate investor, business coach and mentor, husband and father. He lives in the Portland, Oregon area with his wife, Susan, and 9-year-old daughter, Emily.

With over 23-years of experience in business and real estate, Bryan remembers his humble beginnings and what it takes to go from nothing to success. Much of his current success is due to the way he was raised and taught servant leadership, giving more than you take, and keeping God 1st place in your life.

He got his start in real estate by learning the practices of Robert Kiyosaki and the Rich
Dad organization and began investing in positive cash flowing real estate. He has been investing in real estate since 1999 and has had portfolios of single-family rentals, fix & flips, lease-options, and more. Today, Bryan invests in single and multi-family homes, raw land, mortgage notes, and vacation rentals across the country with a primary focus in Washington, Oregon, Colorado and Arizona.

In addition to his real estate investment activities, Bryan runs a successful business coaching & consulting business, Lk13 Development & Coaching. Lk13 got its name from the scripture of Luke 13:6 – parable of the fig tree.

Bryan got his start in coaching & mentoring in 2007 when he was selected as one of a handful of coaches to help Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad clients. Since 2007, Bryan has coached well over 3,000 clients globally in the areas of real estate investing, business development, and stock market investing.

His goal for you is simple. Becoming a better you and achieving results through leaving people in a better place than you found them. Bryan has the patience, knowledge and expertise to lead you to results and success. Everyone has it in them, they just need to bring it out so they can use it.
