Ep. 8 - Caring for the Poor
God Stories
03/16/24 • 34 min
In James 1:27 it says, “Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for the orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.”
In today’s episode, Pastor Gary calls in from long distance to give us an update to the Anchor of Hope feeding center project there in Uganda. We discuss miracle stories of how God has provided for the needy, healed the sick, and discuss the opportunity for listeners here to support the ministry there in Uganda.
We are humbly reminded of all the wonderful blessings we sometimes take for granted here in America, and we are reminded of our calling to meet needs of others in the name of Jesus for God’s glory.

Here Am I, Send Me
God Stories
03/11/25 • 42 min
In the book of Isaiah, Isaiah has a vision where he sees the Lord and hears Him say “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Isaiah responds, “Here am I! Send me.””
Isaiah’s response is one of absolute surrender to the Lord. He is willing to go wherever, whenever and be used by God however the Lord chooses.
Today, this passage is relevant to all believers of whom God is asking, "Whom shall I send?
A question we must all ask ourselves and deeply reflect on is “Am I willing?”
We sit down with Pastor Gary to study this topic further in Isaiah chapter 6.

Ep. 6 - Faith Over Fear
God Stories
03/02/24 • 30 min
Jesus calls us to leave everything behind to follow Him - but doing so can sometimes be a little scary.
In Isaiah 41 God says to his people
Fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Today, Pastor Gary and his wife Carol pick up from last week’s conversation sharing from their personal experiences about what it truly means to walk by faith. We’re reminded that God is always with us and is faithful to provide for our needs. No matter what we face in life, we can trust that God will never leave us nor forsake us.

No Greater Love Than This
God Stories
11/11/24 • 29 min
In John 15:13, Jesus says, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
As we celebrate this Veteran’s Day may we take time to remember the men and women who gave their lives so that we could live freely in this great nation. May we be bold to go out of our way to thank those who are veteran’s or are currently service members for our country.
In today’s episode, Pastor Gary shares a devotional on what Veteran’s Day means to him, and reminds us of the freedoms we have in Christ because of the ultimate sacrifice He paid for us on the cross through the shedding of His blood.
As we look to the example of Jesus, we’re reminded to live as He did, putting others before ourselves with humility and love.

Ep. 5 - God Qualifies The Called
God Stories
02/24/24 • 32 min
In the book of Acts Jesus says to his apostles,
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
This command from Jesus is known as the great commission. Some might mistake that this command only applied to his apostles back then, but in fact, it’s relevant for the Christian church today.
In this episode, Pastor Gary and his wife Carol share from their personal experiences what it looks like to respond in obedience to this command. We’re reminded that God does not call the qualified, but rather He qualifies the called.

Ep. 14 - Peace for the Prayerful
God Stories
09/20/24 • 36 min
In the book of Philippians - Paul encourages us to not worry about anything, but rather to pray about everything. Tell God what we need, and thank Him for all He has done. And as we do this, we will experience the peace of Christ that surpasses all understanding.
Life can be busy, stressful and overwhelming. And if we’re not careful, we can find ourselves feeling like we’re drowning under our burdens.
Praise the Lord - that He invites to come to Him as we are, and cast our burdens upon Him.
Today - Pastor Gary and I are back in the studio to discuss the recap of our annual fundraiser, give an update to Joab from our feeding center and discuss the blessing and power we can all find in prayer.

Ep. 7 - God is STILL the God of Miracles
God Stories
03/08/24 • 19 min
In Psalm 77 - the Psalmist writes,
"Your ways, God, are holy.
What god is as great as our God?
You are the God who performs miracles;
you display your power among the peoples."
In today’s episode we conclude the conversation between Pastor Gary and his wife Carol. They discuss how God is still a God of miracles today. In the midst of fear, we’re encouraged to have faith. In the center of doubt, we’re reminded to trust in God.
It’s not by our power or our might that we accomplish great things for God’s kingdom, but rather it’s by His Spirit, says the Lord.
