  • Interview with Jaiden Green - 2306
    2023/09/06

    Jaiden grew up in a Christian home in the region of Lake Macquarie, NSW. He was blessed to have a loving and supportive family who positively and consistently encouraged him to have his own relationship with God. He went to an Adventist school and attended church regularly. He embraced and enjoyed all the opportunities he had to grow spiritually in his home life, church and school.

    But there came a pivotal point in his early teen years - when young people face so many changes and challenges - that he had to make a choice. What would he do with his life? Would he stay with the faith he was raised in or would he try something else? Was it worth laying aside his Christian way of life for a few years or not? If he was to stay with the faith he was raised in, how was he going to make this faith his own and not just what his parents believe and practice?

    Jaiden wrestled with these questions for many months until one memorable day when he made his decision. Which path did he choose? Listen to discover Jaiden's direction, along with the factors that influenced his decision and where it has led him in his life journey.

  • Interview with Rod Maller - 2305
    2023/06/01

    Rod grew up in inland Queensland and was the eldest of six children. With a family environment that was devoutly Catholic, Rod grew up with an awareness of God in his life which he deeply appreciated. He loved God and religious studies was his favourite subject in school. He had a strong sense of loyalty to his religion.

    As a young adult, he started dating a girl who was a Seventh-day Adventist. This was nice but also challenging since he thought that if he was to marry her, she would have to become Catholic. This was important for his religious convictions and family honour. He told her this and she said that if he could show her through the Bible that his religion was completely harmonious with the truth, she would become Catholic.

    This experience sparked a journey of discovery for Rod as he studied the Bible to find answers to his questions. He learned many things that really shook his religious worldview. It was a very unsettling time as he learned that what the Bible really teaches didn't line up with everything he thought was true. He became convinced that the biblical understandings of Seventh-day Adventists were truly consistent with the Bible and God confirmed this to him in compelling ways.

    Despite agreeing with the biblical teachings of the Seventh-day church, Rod didn't immediately join the faith. Something distracted his focus and led him away from the church for many years. God didn't give up on Rod though and led him through a journey of unexpected experiences and providences. Tune in to hear Rod's full story and the powerful lessons that he learned through his life journey.

  • Interview with Scott Heitmann - 2304
    2023/05/10
    Scott grew up in Bundaberg, the coastal Queensland town renown for its ginger beer, which is an Australian favourite. His upbringing was typical for secular Australians until one day when his mother and father became Christians. They changed so much that he thought they had gone crazy. He learned about God through his parents' conversion and had some wonderful experiences with lovely Christians at church, but he was also doing things that were out of harmony with his parents' new faith. Soon his mother told him he would need to change his behaviour if he was to stay at home. Instead of doing this, he chose to leave. He was 14 years old and went to live with a friend. For the next 10 years or so, his was a journey of drug-dealing, dodging the police and going in and out of prison. God continued to reach out to him during this time as family and friends prayed for him. One day while in prison, he picked up a book that changed his life. He saw a new picture of God that melted his heart. Find out what Scott read and how God led him out of prison and into a new life of service in full-time ministry.

  • Interview with Jeramie Heitmann - 2303
    2023/05/10

    Jeramie was born to Seventh-day Adventist parents in the Philippines. From the day she was born her parents prayed that she would be a singing missionary for Jesus. Her parents could sing and they taught her to sing from a very young age. God honoured their prayers and blessed Jeramie with a beautiful strong, soloist voice.

    Jeramie used her gift of singing as a missionary even as a young teenager. Yet despite being surrounded with mission and faith, she struggled with a mindset of earning approval from God through doing good things. This made her spiritual life very burdensome. Through a family crisis, God revealed His care for Jeramie and her family, and transformed her relationship with Him to one that is full of love and peace.

    After this, Jeramie had another experience that helped her faith grow. Her father challenged her to join a national singing competition with the idea of looking for opportunities to witness for her faith. She joined the competition and excelled in it. But what would she do when the competition required her to sing on Sabbath? Would she stand by her convictions or compromise to secure fame and fortune? Would she make it to the semi-finals and beyond?

    Listen to Jeramie's amazing testimony to find out what happened and how she uses her powerful voice in singing ministry today.
