Marriage is one of God’s greatest blessings—but every strong marriage is built through commitment, sacrifice, grace, and faith in Jesus. In this episode of Sharing Life Changing Lives, Bill Wade and Robert Hatfield sit down with Milton and Laurel Sewell, who have been married for more than 60 years, to talk about the joys, challenges, and lessons they’ve learned through a lifetime together.

The Sewells reflect on how their relationship began, what they understood about marriage as a young couple, and how their perspective has deepened through the decades. They openly discuss seasons that required intentional effort and perseverance, emphasizing how faith in Jesus became the foundation that carried them through life’s challenges.

What happens when God’s people become more than a place you attend… and truly become your family?

In this episode of Sharing Life Changing Lives, Robert Hatfield and Bill Wade sit down with Alan Urda to talk about the powerful role God’s people have played in his life and faith. Alan shares how the love, encouragement, correction, and consistency of fellow Christians helped shape his walk with Jesus—and why the church is far more than a Sunday gathering.

Together, they explore the beauty of spiritual family, the importance of belonging, and how Jesus is the reason His people matter so deeply.

What if God is working… even when you can’t see it?

In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Philly Nong, a student at Freed-Hardeman University whose journey to Christ spans continents, cultures, and questions. Growing up in South Africa in a religious environment shaped by spiritual ritualism and Old Testament sacrificial practices, Philly’s understanding of God was sincere—but incomplete.

What followed was a journey he couldn’t have scripted.

From traveling to the United States for school, to eventually finding his way—seemingly providentially—to Freed-Hardeman University, Philly’s story is a powerful reminder that God is always at work behind the scenes. It was there, through the influence of the Henderson church of Christ Campus Ministry and a pivotal retreat, that Philly encountered the gospel clearly and responded in faith, being baptized into Christ just over a year ago.

This episode is about more than a journey—it’s about learning to trust God’s timing.

Philly shares how seasons of waiting, uncertainty, and searching were all part of a bigger picture that only God could see. His story will encourage you to trust that even when life feels delayed or unclear, God is never late.
