Rough Drafts: How God Writes His Love in Our Stories

Kelsey Bryant: No Easy Answers

I appreciate people who are deep....who are thoughtful...who aren't superficial. Too much of life is reduced to 10-second soundbytes and ideas that can fit on a bumper sticker.
Kelsey Bryant is one of those deep people, and in today's episode, she walks us through some sacred spaces. Kelsey is a child life specialist. She helps kids who are walking through medical conditions. The stuff that we so-called "grown ups" struggle to navigate, she's explaining to elementary schoolers.
In this episode, we talk a lot about faith and trials and the fact that there are no easy answers to the hardest questions in life. 

Lyla Kuhns: The Color Yellow & Noah’s Ark

It's another KIDS rough draft. My favorite part of these conversations is just seeing the world through little eyes. 
Lyla isn't cynical or jaded. She's joyful, she's curious, she's brave. I want to be more like her when (if!) I grow up!

Justin Dawson: I’m Just Not Interesting

One of the first things Justin said when we started recording was, "I'm just not interesting." Why are we doing this?
Justin's a pretty smart guy, but he was wrong about that. He's one of the most interesting people I know! He talks to us about the fellowship of the fire hall...life with his family and kids...how his faith journey has changed and who has made a difference in his story. 

Archibald Marowa: From Zimbabwe to Dickson

If you live in Dickson, I would be shocked if you don't know today's guest. He is one of the most outgoing, relentlessly positive, kind, energetic people I know.
Archie has lived in different worlds. When he got off the plane from Zimbabwe in the United States he was hit with his first round of culture shock: humidity!
In this week's episode, you'll get to hear a God story about a great mom. You'll see our culture through fresh eyes. You'll be blessed by Archibald Marowa!

Honduras 2023: Bryson, Hannah, Marshall, Tyler, and Bethany: Street Clowns, Frisbees, and the Language Barrier

Bryson Harding, Hannah Gossett, Marshall Fuson, and Tyler & Bethany Quinn join us for a walk through our recent trip to Honduras with Torch Missions.
You'll hear lessons learned...powerful moments...and how mission work might just do more for you than those you go to help.
If you're interested in learning more about next year's trip, we have an information sheet for you,

Marsha Griffin: The Rest of the Story (So far!) (Part 2)

Join us for part 2 of Marsha Griffin's story!

Marsha Griffin: We Never Should Have Made It (Part 1)

She's been a businesswoman. A nurse. A farmer. A missionary. A foster mom. A youth minister. She's done it all.
Life has not always been easy for Marsha. Her faith today does not look like it did....several....years ago. Enjoy your time this week with PART 1 of Marsha Griffin's God story!
(Part 2 coming Thursday!)

Benjamin Bowker: Geology and More

Rough Draft kids is back with another gem. You heard his dad earlier this week, now you get to hear from Benjamin Bowker!

Wes Bowker: Law and Artist

When you think of the stereotype of police officers, you don't often think of singer songwriters. Or portrait photographers who prefer film over digital. Or homeschool dads. Or Bible class teachers.
...but Wes Bowker doesn't fit into anyone's stereotypes. He's a thinker and a creative. In this week's episode, you'll get a special treat as he shares one of his newest songs!

Jason Allison: Gains and Losses

Nobody likes losses.
Pain is painful!
But God seems to love to use our losses as an opportunity to bring bigger blessings into our lives.
Listen to Jason Allison as he shares about how God brings gains after, and even through, losses.
