    The Lord's Hand in Every Part of Life: Brian's Journey

    In this episode of Words of This Life, we sit down with Brian Windsor to see the Lord’s hand through every part of his testimony. From salvation at 13, to drifting in high school, to years spent pursuing a music career and working in restaurants, Brian shares honestly about the times in his life when his love for the Lord grew dim and the quiet ways in which the Lord continued to draw him back.Brian speaks about the “slow burn” seasons of pressure, the tensions of business, the prayer “Lord, bless it or burn it,” and the need to be tethered to other believers. This conversation is a testimony not of a smooth and clear path, but of a faithful God whose hand was present in success, failure, waiting, and growth.Whether you are a student, a young professional, a parent, or someone simply longing for a deeper experience of Christ, Brian’s testimony is a reminder that the Lord is simply seeking each one of us. Not a perfect testimony, not a flawless path, but people. In every stage in life, and in every turn, He is patiently working to gain us for Himself.

    The Whole World in His Hands: Connor on God’s Faithfulness Through Life's Chapters

    What if God sends you across the globe to a people group you don’t know? Connor reflects on the major chapters of his life, from a childhood in the American Midwest, to the discovery of God’s eternal plan while in college in Texas, and now a season of serving Jesus in Germany. The difficulties, trials, and seasons of chasing success have all been part of God’s ordering of his steps, Connor shares, a directing that guides us home to God Himself. As Connor tells his story of God sending him across the globe to serve Him in a place he never dreamed of, these lyrics come to mind in faith again: “He’s got the whole world in His hands.”

    Greater than Gen Z's Dream: Ayo on Leaving the Path of Security to Follow God's Call to Bible School

    What is it like to quit your job to follow the Lord? Ayo reveals a deeply personal testimony in this episode concerning the decision he made with his wife, Temi, to resign from their jobs and answer God's calling to go to a Bible school. Ayo had always defined himself by a career of prestige, comfort, and ease, and both he and Temi achieved just that with their career trajectories. But over the past four years, their consistent hunger for Christ and His mission has gradually drawn them from their “Gen Z Dream.” Join Ayo and Pablo as they reflect on the past year of launching Words of This Life and pray for Ayo stepping by faith into a new dream, the dream of God’s dwelling place.

    No Greater Joy: Ken on the Call of God, and the Mission of Bringing Grace to Others.

    How do we "hear" God's call? Born to missionary parents in the Brethren Assemblies, Ken was raised to know the Bible and revere God.  But after a fall away, it took the kindness of God to appear to him as a young adult, call him into a relationship, and set him in a vibrant church life.  To Ken, there’s no greater joy than caring for others, and there’s no greater care than bringing them into the enjoyment of God.

    A Vessel of Mercy: Ray on Surrender to Jesus, and A Life All-In for God’s Purpose

    Mercy. If you could look back at your whole life, would you sum it up with this one word? Ray shares about growing up in the turbulent 1960s and his profound conversion experience from a religious Catholic to a born-again follower of Christ. This episode traces turning points with Christ over career, adoption of a child under God’s sovereignty, and serving God full-time in America and Europe.

    The Power of a Faith Heritage: Isaac on the Journey from Wayward Sheep to Shepherd

    How can we inherit the privilege of a Godly heritage without paying it forward to the next generation? In this episode, Isaac recounts growing up in an active Christian household in New York City, his wayward years and his eventual definite turn to the Lord.  To Isaac, the greatest privilege is to be able to invite others into his own home now and set the same example for his children as was set for him: a life fully given to the Lord and fully embracing the community he lives in.
