In this powerful episode of Living Testimonies, Mark Nelson shares a deeply personal story of faith, brokenness, and redemption.

After growing up in the church, Mark walked away from his faith at a young age and spent many years searching for identity and fulfillment apart from God. But everything changed following a devastating AIDS diagnosis that ultimately placed him on life support.

After flatlining for 22 minutes and facing the reality of death, Mark cried out to Jesus — and that moment became the turning point of his life.

This testimony is not about the darkness of the past, but about the mercy, grace, and saving power of Jesus Christ. Mark’s story is a reminder that God’s power is made perfect in weakness and that no one is ever too far gone to experience redemption through repentance and surrender.

If you’ve ever felt beyond hope, this episode will encourage your heart.

Your Story, His Glory!

In this episode of Living Testimonies, I sit down with Cathy Garland for a deeply meaningful and encouraging conversation about what it truly means to know God on a personal level. Rather than viewing faith as routine, obligation, or information, Cathy shares her heart for what she calls revelationship — a way of walking with God that is rooted in revelation, intimacy, and genuine relationship.

Throughout the conversation, Cathy reflects on her faith journey, the ways God shapes our understanding of Him over time, and how deeply knowing His character changes the way we navigate every season of life. Her perspective offers a refreshing reminder that God does not desire distance or performance, but closeness, connection, and trust.

This episode speaks to anyone who has ever felt stuck in routine faith, longed for deeper spiritual intimacy, or wrestled with understanding God’s presence in everyday life. Cathy’s wisdom, honesty, and love for the Lord make this a conversation that encourages the heart and strengthens hope.

Whether you are in a season of growth, waiting, or rediscovery, this episode will gently point you back to the truth that God desires to be known — personally, faithfully, and deeply.

Your Story, His Glory!

Many Christians believe in Jesus, attend church, and know the language of faith — yet still feel like something is missing. Why does faith sometimes feel shallow, controlled, or unsatisfying?

In this episode of Living Testimonies, Phill Tague shares his journey from growing up in a well-meaning but legalistic Christian home, through seasons of rebellion and questioning, into a life fully surrendered to Jesus. Phill opens up about how God radically redirected his life, including a near-fatal climbing accident that solidified the truth that his life no longer belonged to himself.

Phill also shares the heart behind his book, written for believers who sense there must be more to faith but have never fully understood covenant relationship with Jesus. He challenges the idea of “air-brushed Christianity” and calls listeners to move beyond safe, controlled belief into true intimacy that costs something — and transforms everything.

If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s more to following Jesus than what you’re currently experiencing, this conversation will challenge, clarify, and invite you into deeper surrender.

Your Story, His Glory!

In this special Resurrection Sunday bonus episode, I reflect on a powerful connection many people miss.

Long before the cross… long before the empty tomb… God was already telling the story.

From Passover to the resurrection, the Bible reveals a redemption plan that points directly to Jesus.

What began with a lamb in Exodus would ultimately lead to the greatest victory the world has ever seen.

And because of that victory, every believer now carries a testimony.

Listen in as I reflect on the greatest testimony ever told.

What happens when faith shifts from rules and striving to joy and relationship?

In this episode of Living Testimonies, I sit down with Shannon Coulter to share a powerful and joy-filled testimony of what it means to truly be born again. Raised Catholic and familiar with Jesus—but not fully knowing Him—Shannon opens up about the moment everything changed and how Jesus has continued to show up in every area of her life.

From walking through the loss of her father, to resurrecting a business she had set aside for over a decade, to discovering peace beyond perfectionism, Shannon’s story is a beautiful reminder that Jesus doesn’t just want our obedience—He wants to walk with us.
