This is the first of a two-part episode. A conversation I had with Austin two years ago is what inspired the Witness Podcast. He was the first witness to take the stand for me when I started, but I decided to save his testimony for this milestone Episode 10!

I hope you are as blessed as I was after listening to everything God has lead Austin through!

In Episode 9 I call my good friend and brother Trond Olstad to the stand all the way from Norway! While listening to Trond's testimony you will hear how God searches us out and shows up in some very unexpected places and in unexpected ways. Perhaps as you listen you will begin to notice how God has shown up in your life when you may not have even realized it was Him!

As promised here is the Handball clip...you can see, its quite an intense sport!

This is a special episode of the Witness Podcast that we are releasing to commemorate the 25th anniversary of my father's passing. I know that this time of year can be very difficult for those of us who have experienced the pain of loss. In this episode I sit down with my mom and sisters to talk about the difficulty that we have faced with the loss of my dad.

I hope listening to the ways we have learned to cope and how the Grace of God has carried us will help you and perhaps give you some hope and inspiration in dealing with your grief.

In Episode 8 we call Steven and Meaghan Dennis to the stand. What do you do when you believe that God has given you a promise but nothing in your life looks like the promise is going to come to pass? How do you hold on? How do you trust Him? Steven and Meaghan have been on such a path with their son Joshua.

Their testimony is one of holding on to the promises and keeping the faith when every circumstance seems to be working against them. I hope that you are blessed by their story as you tune into the Witness Podcast.

In Episode 7, we hear Br. Bruce Ellenberger tell of his journey from not having any direction and just trying to fit in...to being saved from the depths of addiction by God and His wonderful Grace and Mercy!

Here are a few scriptures you can take a look at if you are interested in studying and learning more about speaking in tongues. I encourage you to read a few verses before and after the main verse in order to get the proper context:

Isaiah 28:11-12

Mark 16:17

Acts 2:4

Acts 10:44-46

Acts 19:1-6

1 Corinthians 14:2

Romans 8:26-27

In Episode 6 we call Allen McGuckian to the stand. A true seeker, Allen spent a long time plagued by emptiness. He was on a journey to find something real.

God gives us a promise in the book of Matthew 7:7-8 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened."

Although Allen had to endure quite a journey, God did not allow his search to come up fruitless. We hope that you are inspired and blessed as you listen to the testimony of Allen "Mad Dog" McGuckian!

Our witness being called to the stand in Episode 5 is Ava Trader. To say her life up to this point has been a rollercoaster would be an understatement! Through physical challenges and medical trauma, Ava has managed to keep her head up by maintaining hope in God and believing in His purpose. We hope you enjoy the listen and perhaps you can grab onto a little hope as well!

2 Timothy 2:10-13, New Living Translation, "10 So I am willing to endure anything if it will bring salvation and eternal glory in Christ Jesus to those God has chosen.11 This is a trustworthy saying: If we die with him, we will also live with him.12 If we endure hardship, we will reign with him. If we deny him, he will deny us.13 If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny who he is."
