Even in the Darkness, God is Present – Tim Perdion

“Jeff sometimes has those tag lines at the bottom of the notes. This one was ‘total surrender equals total freedom.’ That is a huge statement because I always had an internal storm, and if anybody would have ever asked me what do you want? I want peace and freedom from the internal restlessness.” – Tim Perdion

From living life to escape the wounds of the past to finding a home in the arms of Jesus, Tim’s story is a unique and beautiful example of how our wounds and struggles can be healed and overcome through the power of Jesus!

What We Do Here, Echoes for Eternity – Eric Bosshard

Faith on the Other Six days – Chris Winkelmann

“I try to have my faith be the filter through which I do everything. So, if it’s my marriage, if it’s the workplace, a family party, or family relationships, I try not to just have faith on Sunday mornings…It’s really just living out the calling God has for us to be salt and be light. ” – Chris Winkelmann

Finding Redemptive Purpose – Michael Mancari

“If you had a movie title to describe your life, what would it be?…Mine would be The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly because all of us have lives that are a combination of those things.

Humble yourself and allow God to bring about healing in your life and bring a redemptive purpose for your life.” – Michael Mancari

Chased Down by the Love of God – Dan Kilker

“For the first time in my whole life, I looked at myself and self-reflected. I am looking at all these kids, ‘yes, Jesus is the best thing ever. Yes, this is what life is about. Yes, you can have joy and all of this stuff.’ But I don’t have this. I have heard all of the things, but I don’t know all of the things…I could just feel that something happened in this week. Life is not going to be the same anymore and it can’t be.” – Dan Kilker
