Rough Drafts: How God Writes His Love in Our Stories

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.

Brogan Hayes: Better Friends with Jesus

It's another Rough Draft: KIDS day!
Brogan Hayes shares some beautiful words with us. 
He recognizes Jesus as caring and kind and loving. He knows, even in elementary school, that there sometimes is suffering now and joy to come. And the goal is becoming "better friends with Jesus."

Monica Gossett: Watching God Work

There probably is no other Rough Drafts guest who abuses me as much as this week's guest. She was our most reluctant storyteller, but after some persuading from her family, she agreed to tell her God story.
She talks about taking the elevator instead of the stairs. She shares about working from, not for God's love. She experiences God's tugs and nudges. 
My favorite part of her story is the way that God works through people, politicians, and even systems to bring about a beautiful end. I know you'll be blessed by your time with Monica Gossett.

Maggie Dawson: Never Alone

Episode 16 is our second installment of Rough Drafts: KIDS! This week, we venture into the terrifying halls of middle school and visit with an absolute gem.
We enjoy bursts of joy...the beauty of having a "forever sister"...and the important promise that God never leaves us alone. He is always with us.
Welcome Maggie Dawson!

Brannon Wilkerson: From Life Saver to Life, Saved

This week's episode is a story of how faith, family, and the kindness of your people can get you out of the darkness. A rescue worker finds himself rescued--more than once.
Brannon Wilkerson is the kind of guy you're really grateful is answering the call on your worst day. Listen as he tells about having to be on the other end of some of those calls.

Caleb Hiatt: God in Thunder and Lightning

Monica Gossett had a great idea. She said that since Jesus thinks the kingdom of God belongs to kids--maybe we ought to listen to them more than we usually do!
So for the next few weeks, we're going to have a summertime "Rough Drafts" Treat. On Thursdays, we'll drop special episodes from some really cool kids.
This week is my favorite episode. Am I biased? Absolutely. Does that bother me? Absolutely not.
My son, Caleb Hiatt, joins me and Monica for a conversation about God and faith and fear and the afterlife. I think you'll enjoy it. I know I did!
