Mr. Electric: You Never Know Who God Will Put in Your Path

Send us Fan Mail A seatbelt saved Chad Lewis’s life, but the pain that followed nearly rewrote his future. Chad joins us to tell the true story behind the nickname “Mr. Electric,” his love of music, and how a serious car accident led him into surgeries, pain management clinics, and a battle with prescription painkiller addiction that he couldn’t “power through” alone. If you’ve ever wondered how faith holds up in real suffering, this conversation doesn’t dodge the hard parts. We talk openly about hitting a breaking point, getting help through Homes of Grace, and walking back into everyday life with consequences, regret, and the need to start over. Chad shares what it looked like to rebuild from almost nothing with “just a squeegee,” turning steady work into Sweetwater Property Maintenance and a team he’s proud to lead. Along the way we dig into practical spiritual anchors for Christian recovery: getting in the Word daily, praying first, rejecting the voice of shame, and remembering that Jesus is king in the valley and on the mountain. We also spotlight the power of community through Gulf Coast Underground, a men’s Bible study built on simple, honest Scripture reading, plus details on the Fishers of Men fundraiser (October 29 at the Biloxi Visitor Center). If you feel rejected, stuck, or tempted to give up, Chad’s reminder lands with weight: “You can’t have communion without community.” Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find these stories of grace.

Is Jesus Is Enough?

Send us Fan Mail Some of the most worn-out Christians I know aren’t tired of Jesus, they’re tired of trying. If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I doing enough for God?” or found yourself stuck in shame, fear, or spiritual second-guessing, this conversation aims straight at that pressure point with a simple, disruptive claim: Jesus is enough. Ron Meyers shares how his early walk with Christ was marked by striving and insecurity, until the message of grace finally rewired his identity in Christ. Then we play a powerful clip from call-in teacher Dr. Andrew Farley as he responds to real stories that expose a problem hiding in plain sight: it’s possible to sit through years of church services and still miss the gospel if the focus shifts to behavior improvement instead of Jesus Christ and his finished work. We talk about why grace feels controversial, why “forgiven once for all” can sound shocking, and how growth in the Christian life stays centered on what Christ has already accomplished, not what we’re trying to prove. You’ll also hear practical guidance for discerning a healthy church: Are they talking about Jesus? Do they proclaim “it is finished” as the foundation for forgiveness, freedom from the law, and a new creation identity? If this helped you breathe again, subscribe, share it with a friend who feels stuck, and leave a review so more people can find hope and the grace message. Support the show Thank you for listening!

My Dog Became My Pastor

Send us Fan Mail A dog bite, a loaded gun, and a $17.46 check—sometimes the smallest interruptions save a life. We sit down with Bobi Beverly to trace a fierce arc from church hurt and atheism to a quiet, durable faith that holds up under real pain. Raised around religion but burned by hypocrisy, Bobi chased adrenaline—skydiving, motorcycle racing, rock climbing—until a brutal back injury ended the distractions. Isolation grew. Shame piled on. And one night, despair narrowed to a single, irreversible choice—until Thor, her 17-year-old dog, sank his teeth into her arm and snapped the darkness. Hours later, a dare to heaven was answered by a rebate check with a seven in it. Not a sermon, not a miracle on stage. Just enough to soften a heart and begin again. What follows isn’t a fairy tale. Bobi’s back still hurts. Surgery never happened. Instead, she built a simple rhythm: the first fifteen minutes in gratitude, coffee with Jesus, honest words before the day shouts, and one small action that honors life. She reframed suffering from Why me? to Where is this sending me? That pivot turned self-focus into service, adrenaline into purpose, and religious noise into a steady friendship with Jesus. We explore how to love yourself when you don’t like yourself, why anger blocks clarity, and how micro-practices—breath, movement, prayer—restore momentum when you feel stuck. If you’ve felt burned by religion, numb with pain, or convinced you’re disqualified, this conversation offers practical hope and grounded tools. Hear how Bobi found safety, mentorship, and meaning in Jesus, and why your story—mess and all—might be the interruption someone else is praying for.

How Belief Shapes Your Direction

Send us Fan Mail Your strongest beliefs are already steering your next decision. Ron Myers digs into a question that sounds simple but can change everything: what are you believing about God, about yourself, and about what you’re walking through right now? We lay out the chain reaction from belief to behavior to movement to evidence, and why “biblical optimism” is not pretending life is easy. It’s trusting the God who is still working even when the moment hurts, feels unfair, or makes no sense. Ron shares a personal story about getting rattled by another Christian’s opinion and how fear can sneak in wearing religious language. From there, we ground confidence in grace and identity in Christ, including the stabilizing promise of “no condemnation” and what it looks like to renew your mind by rewriting the script playing in your head. If you’ve been stuck in “I’m too old,” “I’m not qualified,” or “nothing works for me,” you’ll hear practical language shifts that move you from shame to growth. We also talk about action when you can’t see the whole plan: walking through fog one visible step at a time, turning the handle before calling the door locked, and treating closed doors as potential redirection. Plus, we answer a big faith question: can a Christian stop believing and forfeit salvation? The takeaway is security, not pressure and it reshapes how we see God and ourselves. Listen now, then share this with someone who needs to believe again, and subscribe, rate, and review to help more people find these grace-filled conversations.

When Your Heart Breaks And Life Still Sends Monday

Send us Fan Mail Grief can hit you like a wave you never saw coming. One day you’re steady, the next you’re wrecked by a song, a photo, or the silence where a voice used to be. I open with a question many of us are afraid to say out loud: what do you do when someone you love is gone, but your life keeps moving forward? And I remind you of a verse that matters when you’re hurting. Jesus wept. Your sorrow is not a sign your faith is failing. Maria Etheridge joins me for an honest, tender conversation about losing her son, Matt. She shares his story from a back injury and addiction battles to the night he went into cardiac arrest at her home, the days in the hospital, and the moment her family faced decisions no parent wants to face. We also talk about the power of prayer and community, and the unexpected meaning found in Matt’s organ donation and the honor walk that followed. If you’re searching for Christian encouragement, grief support, or hope after the death of a child, Maria’s story meets you where you are. We go deeper than “be strong.” We talk about the guilt that can show up when you laugh again, why healing does not mean forgetting, and how to take the next step without demanding the whole plan. I connect it to what I call “destined for success” because biblical success is not a pain-free life. Sometimes it’s getting out of bed with a broken heart, telling Jesus the truth, and asking one simple question: “Jesus, what is my next step?” If this helps you, subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next, share it with someone carrying grief in silence, and leave a review so more people can find real hope.

The Phone Call: When Life Changes in an Instant

Send us Fan Mail One minute you are sitting at home watching a show, and the next you feel something that should not be there. That is how Darrel’s story starts: a lump under his arm, a biopsy, a pathology report, and the word nobody wants to hear. The diagnosis becomes stage four cancer, and yet what stands out most is not denial or bravado, but a steady, clear peace in his voice that makes you stop and listen. We talk candidly about what goes through your mind when life suddenly splits into “before the news” and “after the news.” Darryl shares why Proverbs 3:5 becomes more than a verse when you are staring at scans and waiting on answers: trusting the Lord with all your heart while admitting you do not understand the path ahead. We also dig into a practical, grounded approach to Christian faith during cancer treatment: valuing doctors, praying for their wisdom, and letting faith and medical care work side by side rather than competing. This conversation is also about community and perspective. Daryl describes classmates, churches, family, and friends surrounding him with prayer, and how that support changes the weight of the waiting. We wrestle with bigger questions too: what are you building your life on, what happens when the phone call eventually comes for all of us, and what it looks like to find peace in uncertainty while the story is still being written. If you need hope after a hard diagnosis or you love someone who does, listen through to the closing challenge and share it with a friend.

Jacquelyn's Story-Overcomer: Turning your Trials into a Testimony

Send us Fan Mail You can’t always control what happens to you, but you can decide what it becomes. Ron Myers sits down with Jaclyn Williams, a woman born with serious physical challenges connected to thalidomide, the drug once used for morning sickness that caused devastating birth defects around the world. Doctors told her family she might never walk or even reach adulthood. She grew up in hospitals, endured more than two dozen major surgeries, and still found a way to stand, move forward, and live with purpose. We talk honestly about what it feels like to carry consequences you never chose, and why “surviving” isn’t the same as “healing.” Jaclyn shares the faith that carried her through pain, the simple habit of talking to God like He’s present and listening, and the hard work of surrender when you are tired of fighting in your own strength. She also opens up about deeper wounds like rejection, abuse, and searching for love in the wrong places, and how inner healing reshaped her identity and direction. You’ll also hear practical encouragement for anyone overwhelmed by negativity, distracted by chaos, or anxious about the future. We come back to one powerful question that reframes everything: God, what can you do with this? If you need Christian encouragement, hope after trauma, or a reminder that your story isn’t over, this conversation will meet you where you are. If this helped you, subscribe, share it with someone who’s in a difficult season, and leave a review so more people can find these stories of hope. Support the show Thank you for listening!

God Loves You: A Tale of Two Bikers

Send us Fan Mail A leather vest. Work boots. The smell of beer. A biker gets nose to nose with me in a packed nightclub and tells me he can break me like a matchstick. I do the only thing I can do: I pray. Then three words come out of my mouth that I did not plan, and the whole moment turns on a dime: “God loves you.” That true story sets the tone for a conversation about how quickly we judge people by what we see and how often we miss what they are carrying underneath. Then you meet Rick, another biker, and I ask him straight: who is Jesus to you? Rick’s answer is not religious polish. It’s gratitude, tears, and a clear confession of faith in Jesus Christ as Savior. He takes us back to a childhood moment when he asked his mom, “Who killed Jesus?” and how that single sentence followed him for decades, right up to the day after Katrina when he sat in church and heard a whisper: “Get up.” He fights it, then obeys it, walks to the altar, and says God gives him a new heart. We talk about toughness, anger, and the hidden “drug” of intimidation, and how real strength looks like surrender, not throwing punches. Rick shares why tomorrow is not promised, why grace through faith is the only solid ground, and he prays for anyone listening who feels far from God but hungry for something real. If you need hope, redemption, or a reminder to see people with compassion, this one is for you.
