Philippians 4:8 says,  “…whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy— think on these things.”  Jenny interviews Award-winning Author, Novelist and Podcaster, Linda Kozar about her writing and her testimony of how she found Jesus. Her new 90-day devotional, “Gimme Some Sugar”  was just released! Her devotionals have inspiring insights from scripture, stories, and what she calls “a sprinkle of homespun humor!”  In the midst of hard things and sad things going on in the world or problems in our own lives -  or even - in the best of times, we need a time to sit with the Lord and get into His Word! Today, we bring you a blend of fun, encouragement, and hope! 

Jenny interviews IndyCar pray.com Driver, Sting Ray Robb! She had a chance to sit down with Sting Ray at this year’s NRB - The National Religious Broadcaster’s Convention - the largest gathering of Faith-based media from around the world. We had some time to visit in the pray.com suite. Sting Ray is quite an outstanding young man who tells us about his name, his infectious faith and racing partnership with pray.com. He shares with others the peace and joy he’s found through prayer -  and puts prayer in the fast lane! Enjoy the conversation, and consider giving the podcast 5 stars wherever you're listening! 

In this captivating interview, Actress Charlene Tilton, known for her iconic role as “Lucy Ewing” in the TV show Dallas, opens up about her faith and her co-starring role in the upcoming film God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust set to hit theaters this fall in 2024.  She gives us an idea of how this new movie and her character is so relatable to our current events. 

Charlene shares she understood her character, Lucy Ewing because of her own real life struggles. Her feeling of abandonment came from never knowing her father and her mother’s institutionalization for mental illness.  She faced those tumultuous years by leaning on her faith in God.  Charlene shares insights about her close friendship with the late Tammy Faye Baker and the lessons we can all learn from her.  

Jesus told us the importance of forgiving and spoke the words about forgiveness from the cross!  One of the hardest things for us to do is to forgive and it’s not only required of us, but it’s one of the best gifts from The Lord!  Jenny interviews Melanie Azarcon where we will hear a powerful testimony on forgiveness and the freedom it brings.  Melanie suffered terrible abuse for years as a child and emotional abuse throughout her life from the one person she should have been able to trust. She helps us understand why Jesus tells us to forgive 70 times 7. Forgiveness doesn’t condone wrongdoing; it liberates us from carrying the burden of resentment. 

Ashley Bratcher the star of the new movie FINDING FAITH  premiers exclusively on Great American Pure Flix Friday, March 29!  I’m giving you a “heads up” about this movie!  Here’s what Ashley has to say! 

The delightful Award-winning Author, Keely Brooke Keith returns to talk about her just-released 13th novel -UNCHARTED PEACE that weaves an exciting faith-filled story and points us in the direction of true peace in Jesus Christ!  Keely writes the popular  UNCHARTED series and talks about how God gave her the desire & passion for writing Christian fiction! As the apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 4:7, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

“We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps.” Proverbs 16:9. Life is full of moments of interruptions or change. Sometimes things are going good and all of a sudden, life takes an unexpected turn. When Jesus walked the earth, we heard about how he stopped whenever he was “interrupted.”  And what about Mary-the mother of Jesus, the disciples, Moses, Jonah, Gideon or Joseph, just to name a few. Their plans were certainly changed! Sometimes it aggravates us, but interruptions may be divinely placed in our life for a reason. Jenny's guest is Rob Patrick, Executive Director of Knoxville Area Project Access (KAPA). He’s here to talk about how God is always at work in your life, making things happen for you even when you don’t see it or expect it!  It may be that God interrupts our plans to set us in a different direction.

The greatest story ever told is being seen through the series The Chosen!!  It is is the first-ever multi-season TV show about the life of Jesus, and it allows us to see Him through the eyes of those who knew Him on earth.
