Our God is a creative God...He is The CREATOR! We are made in His image, therefore, should we not also be creative? Gifts for Glory Ministries works to celebrate, promote, and unite the men and women of God that use their gifts for His Glory! #OGHG is Our Gifts for His Glory!
...as we know it?
Since 2019, I've been podcasting and trying to bring a little light, encouragement, and inspiration through the Gifts for Glory Podcast, where we celebrate and promote men and women using their gifts for God's glory.
All about #OGHG.
Well, with my bride and I transitioning into full time ministry as US Missionaries, time and, frankly, desire, have dwindled. Also, resources have dwindled and I need to make personal cuts (no sponsors yet, so all this gloriousness has been out of pocket!)
So, one more podcast. Going live Monday night, 6pm Central time.
Is this the end? Is this a hiatus? Will there be a rebirth? I'll let God decide that one!
This podcast I'll dive in to the amazing year Jesus has had in the box office. Jesus Revolution, Nefarious, Sound of Freedom, and more!
I'll also talk about improv, becoming a missionary, and what you, if so led, might be able to do to help Bobbie and I get out there!

Judd Saul is a family man, award-winning documentary filmmaker, including the 2021 film Enemies within the Church, which we highlighted that year with our guest Pastor Cary Gordon, link in the show notes, Judd is also an entrepreneur, and missionary who embarked on a call to action in Nigeria in 2011. He and his wife Sherry have 5 children, all of whom witnessed the vision unfold when Grandfather Duane Wessels invited Judd to join him on a mission trip. The trip changed Judd's life forever. He realized the stark reality, of the risk and sacrifice facing these people, and a burden was placed on his heart for the lost and persecuted Christians in Nigeria.
We talk about Equipping the Persecuted and also about the 2021 film, Enemies Within the Church.

Reverend Kevin McGary is the founder of Every Black Life Matters, an organization truly committed to fighting real racial issues across the nation. Rev. McGary, and his organization fight for black lives in America while pushing back against the lies that have crippled that segment of the population. His new book, "WokedUp” is an emphasis on the realities of what black America has gone through and helps you identify the real perpetrators behind the egregious lies! He attacks such issues ranging from the 2 largest killers in black America is Abortion and gang violence. Why are most planned parenthood facilities located in predominantly black neighborhoods, why CRT is being pushed so heavily in major cities and why are public school systems are failing our children, predominantly black children and why absent father syndrome has risen in the black community since 1950. All the while bringing reality to the false, scandal ridden organization BLM.

Chuck & Wilma Lormis have been involved in missions in some form or fashion for most of their ministry lives. Although they had known each other through ministry venues for more than 20 years, it wasn't until April 2015 that God began to direct their paths together. They officially joined forces September 5, 2015, when they became husband and wife to serve Jesus and make Him known. They both share a passion for missions, believing that missions is not simply a program of the Church, rather, Missio Dei (the mission of God). Therefore the mission of God should be integrated in everything the Church does.

Matthew 22:36-40 NLT “Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?” Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”
Michael and Naomi (affectionately known as NOME) Rogers joined Well Versed Comedy in early spring 2022. They have worked and performed together in various theaters, including faith-based theater Overshadowed Theatrical Productions, located in Medinah, IL.

Brooke leads the Orland Park, IL, chapter of Moms in the Making, a support group for women who have seen struggles on their journey to motherhood. On a personal note, I encourage women to join Moms in the Making because of the profound impact it has had on my wife and our marriage. I also, just as strongly, encourage men to be involved and consider coming with your wives to the Moms in the Making Conference in October.

We talk about OneFaith, the vision, the mission, and the purpose. TJ shares his testimony and the tragedy that God used to help move him into his calling in life, which is also the inspiration for the name of TJ’s first born. We dedicate this show to the memory of Maurel Domingo.
On his website, TJ describes OneFaith as “More than just a radio show, podcast, YouTube channel or social media accounts, One Faith is a ministry that seeks to unite the body of Christ according to our shared faith in Jesus Christ.”

As we kick off the Hope Through Laughter Series, and we seek to start 2021 on a hopeful, joyous note, I could think of no one else that I would want to share with you than the incredible Bob Smiley. As we talk on this interview, this is a man with two testimonies, in all actuality. About seven or so years ago, Bob hit a really hard patch. But, God. We talk about his initial journey to his faith and then how his faith carried him through that devastating time, and eventually got stronger through it, and how God is now redeeming that lost time. As we recorded, Bob and his wife Sarah were celebrating their second anniversary…of course, not the day of recording…as a man who is also married, I know that would be a HUGE no-no. But, Bob Smiley is a phenomenal comedian, a man with a pure heart, and a joy for so many he’s entertained through stand up, through his work with Focus on the Family with the Average Boy podcast and Average Boy books, and now through his podcast with his wife Sarah, Hook, Line, and Smiley. Enjoy this extremely funny comedian and great man of God here on the Gifts for Glory Podcast!

Many of us have heard about the controversy with Netflix and with the movie Cuties. I wanted to give my take this week. I believe that the hashtag #CancelNetflix is really important right now, as we pair it with the heart behind #SaveOurChildren. But, it's not far enough. Parents and everyone attached to the film should face prosecution for sexual exploitation of a minor, endangerment, and the promotion and distribution of child pornography.
I also share some important Scripture related to this situation.
We must protect our kids. And not just those who are biologically ours, but those God is entrusting us to care for and disciple.

This week we get to talk with a Chicago native, who has relocated to the Indianapolis suburbs. He’s a comedian, graphic designer, and co-owner of the hottest clean comedy club in the Midwest, Gutty’s Comedy Club, in Greenwood, Indiana. They’ve had some really big shows in just their first four months! Gutty’s Comedy Club opened it’s own spot on August. A couple months ago we had one of the co-owners, comedian Dennis Tooley, on the show, so today, we hear from the other half of the duo. Our guest today is Steve Rivera, and we talk faith, comedy, performing, and more!

What can we learn from the Thief on the Cross? He's only referenced in a handful of Scriptures, but his story speaks volumes. Dave Ebert gives the message at Cross Point Church in Lockport, Ill. on this special edition of the Gifts for Glory Podcast. Sometimes Scripture requires us to take a look at it from a different angle to get more of what God has for us. Some important Scripture for today:
Luke 23:39-43
Matthew 27:41-44
Ephesians 2:8-9
James 2:14
Romans 6:23
Matthew 20:1-16
1 Samuel 16:7 NKJV
Romans 10:9-10 NIV
THE POINT
Look for new revelations within old, familiar stories
The Thief speaks to us on more than Good Friday. He is our Brother in Christ.
Grow your roots deep into God and His Word.
This is not religion. This is relationship.

Tracy DeGraaf is a Christian, first and foremost, and next she is an author, comedian, and speaker. She got into comedy later than many, and in fact wasn’t a real goal of hers. A publishing coach helping with her incredible book Laugh Anyway Mom told her she should pursue comedy. So, Tracy has been working hard to build a comedy ministry, a speaking ministry, and maintain a busy home life that saw 5 boys grow up finding new and exciting ways to get taken to the ER. Tracy is hosting a show at the newly renovated Roxy Theater in Lockport, Ill. Life Happens, Laugh Anyway is this Friday, September 20, at 7:00pm.

One of the stars of the hit movie Overcomer is Cameron Arnett, who is an actor, director, producer, and speaker. He was born in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, and currently resides in Georgia. He has an amazing testimony and story of how he came to be one of the principles in the new hit movie Overcomer, the latest project from The Kendrick Brothers, who brought you War Room, Courageous, Fireproof, Facing the Giants, and Flywheel. Cameron’s story is amazing and the hour we spent chatting does not do his testimony justice! Go see Overcomer after you get to know our guest this week.

Rob Decker, founder of Kingdom F.I.T. (Faith In Training) in Colorado Springs, Colorado, has an incredible testimony. His life is one that should have ended many times, but God. His mother was told to abort him, but God. He lived a fast life of drugs and alcohol, but God. He was falsely accused of rape and felt his only way out was suicide, but God. He got into an accident driving under the influence, but God.
But, God.
Listen to this amazing story of ups and downs, the war within, and the hope that no matter how bad your story gets, there is always the change that your surrender to God’s perfect will will give you your own “But God” moment.
Enjoy this testimony and story, and then find Rob Decker online and follow more of his story.
At the time of his interview, Rob was expecting his second child and first little girl. We pray God’s blessings over Rob and his wife, their son, and their new baby coming in a couple weeks!

This week’s podcast is a replay of Dave’s message given at his former church. This message, entitled “Go and be Reconciled,” is about the importance and the imperative of all believers to work to be reconciled with their brethren. Dave gets personal and transparent with a recent story from his life, and uses that to fuel his message and admonition to be reconciled. Our primary passage is 2 Corinthians 5:18 NIV - All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.
Much of the teaching also comes from Matthew 5 and Matthew 18.

Unfortunately, found out in post that my mic cable had a short in it, creating some of the sound difficulties you'll hear. Please forgive those sound issues. However, I think there is a lot of really great stuff here, so please, overlook the sound issues and enjoy!
This is by far my favorite interview ever! I got to spend an hour talking with the most amazing, wonderful, beautiful, sweet, sassy, caring, awesome woman in the world, my wife Bobbie Ebert.
We talk faith, comedy, being married to a comedian/creative person, and the ups and downs that causes.

Christian Johnson Taylor is a mom, wife, podcast host, podcast co-host, producer, director, voice over actor, actor, and anything else she can cram into 24 hours. We were blessed to grab an hour of her time just before she heads to Normandy, France, to debut the “rough” cut of The Girl Who Wore Freedom, the story of the freedom given to the French on the D-Day invasion, as told by the men and women of Normandy. Most stories we hear of that day are the American perspective, Christian was led to produce this film to tell the liberation story from the point-of-view of those being liberated.
