“We have to approach witnessing with love and no other motive. We’re not there to get anything from anyone. We just want to go out there with an attitude of giving and with love and with the goal of being ambassadors and reconciling people back to God.”

In this episode, Taylor Thurlow interviews Rev. Basil Makharita about sharing God’s Word with people of different belief systems than Christianity. Basil, who grew up Muslim, tells his personal account of getting to know God, and the man who took the time to answer his questions and walk him through the Scriptures. He also gives important insight into what approaches were edifying to him, and which ones were not, as Christians spoke God’s Word to him over the years. And he shares things we should keep in mind when we speak God’s Word specifically to people of different religions. Through genuine love, care, and humility, someone showed Basil God’s nature. Would you like to do the same for someone else? Tune in!

“For me, part of what makes a song truly great is that it’s striking that balance where you have both of those things—you have the truth of the Word, and you have the art of the song that grabs your attention and draws you in.”

In this special fiftieth episode, Sierra Bergman wraps up the 2025 year by interviewing ministers and musical guests Andrea Thurlow and Kris Jones. This episode also includes a new song featuring both of our guests, “Praise You with My Life,” and a single from Kris, “Did You Pray?” Both artists also spend time in this episode talking about how writing and performing godly music has helped them and others, and how God works in them to produce content that ministers. With positivity, humility, and thankful hearts, they share about their lives and encourage those who want to give of their talents to build up others. Interested in hearing more?

“We get to rely on God as our Source of stability. That stability doesn’t come from having ‘all of our ducks in a row’ per se, it’s from trusting in THE Source of stability, God.”

In this episode, Taylor Thurlow interviews Mr. and Mrs. Jared Torell (Nancy), two ministers with The Way International, and they talk about walking powerfully through change. Having recently gone through many changes, including marriage, graduating from The Way’s minister training program, and successfully doing five moves in five years, Jared and Nancy share on some of their experiences with trusting God through transitions. This episode is chock-full of helpful tips, scripture verses, positive ways to think about change, and personal stories that can help us remember that no matter what is going on around us, God knows it all, and He is our Source of stability.
