    Though He Fall | Scott Mitchell

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when the prayer you prayed in desperation becomes the moment God answers — in a way you never expected? “Though He Fall”   Scott Mitchell  has a journey through surrender, loss, and a ministry he did not see coming. Find out how an evening out with friends lead to a fall, paralysis, and a ministry that no one could have designed but God! Pastor Scott Mitchell was a Bible college student who had surrendered to the call of ministry, only to find himself sliding into backsliding, ego, and spiritual emptiness. In a desperate midnight prayer, he laid everything on the altar — even his legs. Three nights later, he fell off a cliff in the dark mountains of Tennessee, broke his spine, and woke up paralyzed from the chest down. But instead of despair, Scott found joy. In this powerful episode of the More Than Conquerors podcast, host Lou Lepore sits down with Pastor Scott Mitchell — author, church planter, keynote speaker, and 45-year veteran of life in a wheelchair — to talk about calling, rebellion, brokenness, restoration, and the relentless faithfulness of God. Scott's story will challenge you to stop running from your breaking point and trust the One who orders every step. In this episode: How a Christian upbringing planted seeds that never fully diedThe three goals Scott had in Bible college (one of them wasn't God)The prayer that cost him everything — and gave him more than he could imagineWhat a doctor's blunt "no" taught him about acceptance and graceHow God used a wheelchair to open doors to MLB teams, NFL franchises, and churches across the countryWhy not all dreams die — and what to do when yours does"Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand." — Psalm 37:24 Connect with Pastor Scott Mitchell: Website & Blog: pasturescott.orgEmail: pasturescottgmail.comBook — Though He Fall: Available on AmazonConnect with Lou Lepore & More Than Conquerors: Email: morethanconquerorspodcast837@gmail.com Website: https://morethanconquerorspodcast.buzzsprout.comToday's test is tomorrow's testimony.

But when her mom's addiction reached a crisis point, Ashley's carefully constructed world began to unravel.

    The Calling they couldn't Cancel | More Than Conquerors with Pastor Joe Delp

    Send us Fan Mail "The Calling they couldn't Cancel" What happens when God calls you back to the city that broke you? Pastor Joe Delp grew up in a godly home, rebelled hard, and on October 12, 2010 — Jesus Christ saved his soul. That salvation launched him into ministry, Bible college, marriage, and a bold church plant in Northeast Philadelphia. But the road got dark fast. A church merger that promised everything fell apart in betrayal and slander. Joe resigned, packed up his family, and drove out of Philly in a U-Haul — broken, bitter, and running from God. What followed was a Jonah season he's brutally honest about: a closed Bible, a struggling marriage, depression, and a desperate pursuit of a different calling. Until God slammed every door shut and brought him to his knees. God's will cannot be stopped! This episode is about what happens after .... Revival & Restoration and a second church plant — ChristLife Baptist Church — that launched March 15, 2026 with 92 people in attendance and 6 souls saved on the very first Sunday.

    "Textbook Faith" | More Than Conquerors with Nick Gresh

    Send us Fan Mail Teacher. Husband. Dad. Cancer survivor. Nick Gresh never expected all those roles to collide at once. Diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkin's lymphoma during the very week he began a new teaching position at First Philadelphia Preparatory Charter School, Nick fought to stay grounded for his wife and toddler daughter while navigating chemo treatments, mounting medical bills, and a marriage being tested like never before. From his early days at St. Gabriel's Hall to his current role as Athletic Director at Valley Forge Baptist Academy, Nick's career has always been about pouring into young lives — but it took a cancer diagnosis to show him how much he still needed to learn about surrender. What does it look like to trust God when you're too sick to get off the bathroom floor? How do you keep a marriage together when the trial is bigger than both of you? And what happened when the bills finally arrived — all $200,000 of them? "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways." — Isaiah 55:9 Guided by scriptures including Proverbs 3:5-6, 1 Peter 5:6-7, Romans 12:1-2, and Isaiah 40:31, Nick shares how God's provision showed up in ways he never could have planned — and why he refused to let a diagnosis write his story.
