About this listen

Welcome to Anchoring Hope.


Our mission is simple: to inspire and equip Christians to live out the Gospel in every area of life.


What does it look like to follow Jesus Christ while leading a business, building a career, or serving a community? Each week, we sit down with entrepreneurs and community leaders who share how their faith in Jesus has anchored them through challenges, decisions, and growth. They open up about the role faith plays in their journey; and how it continues to shape the way they lead and serve.


Through these honest, creative, and practical conversations, you’ll be encouraged to grow spiritually, live boldly in your calling, and make a meaningful impact in the world around you.


Thank you for listening, and God bless.

  • I let the Holy Spirit refine my marriage, and it saved my business!
    May 11 2026

    What happens when you mix 25 years of marriage, a passion for coaching, and a deep-rooted faith in God? Join David Mansilla as he interviews Brandon and Michelle Barber about their incredible journey of transformation, resilience, and business success.


    In this episode, Brandon opens up about his battle with agoraphobia and how he transitioned from a corporate career to a life of helping others break free from their own obstacles. Meanwhile, Michelle shares her journey of leaving a high-paying corporate sales job to find her true calling and soul-fulfillment in the coaching world.

  • I was an "alpha male" until God used a hospital bed to humble me
    May 11 2026

    In this episode of Anchoring Hope, host David Mansilla sits down with Mark McIntosh—the founder of Victory Productions, a Denver-based non-profit, and a long-time media personality. Mark’s story is a raw, emotional, and Christ-centric look at what happens when our plans fail but God’s plan prevails.


    Mark shares his journey through Amyloidosis, a rare bone marrow disorder that led to kidney failure. He reveals the incredible miracle of how a stranger, Cathie Hitchcock, saved his life by donating her kidney, and how that trial transformed him into a passionate advocate for wellness and organ donation.


    Whether you are struggling with a business failure, a health crisis, or a loss of purpose, Mark’s testimony will encourage you to "never grow weary of doing good".


    Key Takeaways:

    ✔ The Power of Galatians 6:9: Why persistence in doing good is the key to reaping a God-given harvest.

    ✔ Leading Through the Fruits of the Spirit: How love, joy, and self-control create a leadership style that no law can stop.

    ✔ Embracing the "Refining Fire": Understanding that tribulations are often the training ground for our souls.

    ✔ The "Shared Spare" Mission: An urgent call to consider organ donation and its impact on communities of color.

    ✔ Being a Comeback Coach: How to use your past failures to walk beside and uplift others in their darkest hours.


    About Our Guest:

    Mark McIntosh is the founder of Victory Productions and a celebrated community advocate. Despite battling incurable Amyloidosis, he chairs the host committee for the 2026 Denver Transplant Games and continues to impact thousands through his "Comeback Coaching" and motivational speaking.
