    An Orphan in the House of God - Overcoming Abuse

    An Orphan in the House of God - Overcoming Abuse

    Welcome to The Big Impact Ep 255 - An Orphan in the House of God - Overcoming Abuse
    Our featured guest is Craig Daliessio, author of "An Orphan in the House of God," a powerful personal story about overcoming the horrors of an abusive childhood, experiencing years of homelessness, and ultimately coming to know Christ as the healer of all that hurt.
    "Jesus said: "Unless you become childlike, you cannot grasp the kingdom of God..."
    In "An Orphan in the House of God," Craig Daliessio shares the intimate details of growing up in a dysfunctional, chaotic family and his desperate attempt to reach out to a God he didn't understand.
    As he entered adulthood, he came to realize that a spirit of orphanage was keeping him trapped and unable to experience the childlike faith and joy that Jesus taught.
    After years of hurtful relationships with his parents and others close to him, Craig came to understand that God's love is beyond what even the best mom or dad has ever shown their child.
    "An Orphan in the House of God" show us the way out of the orphanage, and into the arms of our loving Father. "

    Pancakes for Roger - Susan Combs

    Pancakes for Roger - Susan Combs

    Welcome to The Big Impact Ep 249 - Pancakes for Roger - Susan Combs
    Major General Roger Combs was a highly decorated Vietnam veteran who was diagnosed with Agent-Orange-related throat cancer in his later years, which he had been exposed to as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. 
    His daughter and best-selling author, Susan, acted as his caregiver through his final days. In his final treatments, he used a feeding tube for his meals.
     
    One day, she recounts, she found him setting the table for breakfast: “I came downstairs, he was setting the kitchen table for himself and I looked at him rather quizzically and asked what he was doing. He looked at me and said, 'I want pancakes for breakfast.'” Major Roger Combs passed shortly thereafter and never got his pancakes, but Susan was determined to keep his memory alive.
    She's the champion behind the #PancakesforRoger movement, a moving tribute to her late father, which encourages people to share photos of themselves enjoying pancakes on social media to keep her father's memory alive.
    For every post with the hashtag #PancakesforRoger, her company will donate a dollar to the Mizzou Law Veterans Clinic, an establishment near and dear to Major Combs's heart.
