The AGORA Cast

Welcome to our podcast where we bring glory to God through real-world stories of life change, offer insights into non-profit, business and missions work, and dive into impactful book reviews. Our mission is to inspire active engagement in serving those in need, believing that growth in Christian leadership fosters an environment where God is glorified, and those in need are served. Our tales span faith, miracles, spiritual battles, failures, struggles, and transformation, many rooted in our 27 years of service in inner-city missions, aiding those facing poverty. With over 27 years in inner-city missions, including 10 as a full-time missionary and 15 devoted to launching and selling a thriving business, I’m driven by a divine calling to share what I learned. My goal is to guide individuals in business, non-profit, and missions environments toward success, drawing from the lessons that propelled me forward. As an avid reader, books have been transformative in my life, offering new ideas and perspectives that can be the tipping point between success and failure. Join me as I share my views on books I have read and their potential impact on your life. Join us on this journey as we celebrate the goodness and greatness of our God.
