Jonathan Moore shares what it means to actually be the hands and feet of Christ. His hunger for knowing God better has led him to two master's degrees in Divinity and Practical Theology. The next step in his self proclaimed "Nerd" thirst for knowledge... Ph.D in Theology!! You'll want to hear how Jonathan's inspired us to start our own #100challenge to becoming better servants of God. One of the many lessons he imparts is, although we are all different, we have more in common than we have differences. It's time we all turn our focus on how we are alike than what sets us apart.

Debra Lynn Rodriguez is an accomplished singer/songwriter taking taking her inspiration from gospel, the blues, folk, and rock n roll. She grew up in the hills of Appalachia in the Pentecostal Holiness Church. She believes her love of music started when she was in her baby seat placed under the piano her mom played 3 times a week as musical director there. I (KC) met Debra Lynn when she was the worship leader at a church. Every now and again she would do the preachin' and I'd hang on every word she'd say. Her love of Jesus poured out over us all! There's a song I used to sing in church "and you'll know they are Christian by their love"...Debra Lynn is the epitome of that love! Care and I were blessed to have the opportunity to sit down with Debra Lynn and learn her take on forgiveness and grace. What great nuggets of wisdom she imparted on us!

Care and I have the privilege of interviewing Saleim Kahleh, Associate Minister at Houston Baptist University in Houston. TX. Saleim grew up Muslim following the teachings of Muhammad in the Islam religion. He takes the time to answer our questions about what Muslims believe and how they practice their faith. He then shares his journey to discovering "his truth" about God by doing something Muslims don't normally do...question his faith. Since the time he personally accepted Christ as his savior, Saleim has dedicated his life to helping others discover, know and follow Christ as well. It's a fascinating story, we hope you enjoy as much as we did!

Meg Scott tells us her personal journey with Christ and shares the challenges she's met along the way. She's learned, although people have good intentions...sometimes those good intentions can cut and hurt us deeply, even temporarily making us question our faith? It's time to scrape away the barnacles of resentment and learn to forgive those who have hurt us, otherwise our boat will eventually sink!

People of the Jewish Faith believing Jesus is the Messiah...Who knew??? We certainly didn't, until Care and I had the privilege of getting to know Ryan Lambert, Rabbi of the Messianic Tikvat David Synagogue in Roswell, GA. Rabbi Ryan shares his personal story as well as answers questions about the Messianic Jewish Faith. The moment we stepped foot into Tikvat David Synagogue, we felt such a warm welcome from everyone we met! They are "unapologetic" about their beliefs and are open to all who want to come and worship with them.
