The StoryField

Jon Seidl joined us today on The StoryField, and wow. Jon is the Christian who became an alcoholic—not the other way around. Usually we celebrate stories of non-Christians coming to Jesus. But what about Christians who stumble in their walks? Those stories of what Jon calls “messy sanctification” that can be hard to make sense of.

This is an episode of encouragement and hope – not judgment and condemnation so don’t tune out. You wil...

Dr. Ben Edwards joined us today on The StoryField.

Dr. Ben’s mentor shocked him when they first met when he said “There is no such thing as diseases. They are all consequences”.  To a traditionally trained medical doctor – this was blasphemy.

Hours and hours of research and a year later – Dr. Ben was trying some different approaches which resulted in radically difference health outcomes for patients.

He started seeing diabetes, high b...

Charlie Lewis joined us today on The StoryField.

What the world calls success and how God defines it are entirely different things. 

We asked Charlie to shed some light on success:

· World Success = asset based; time driven; pursuit of money and earth-based results.

· God’s Success = purpose based; eternity designed; driven by pursuit of outcomes.

It can be so frustrating to work with the system of the world, but Charlie invited us to c...

Pastor Ed Dittfurth joined us today on The StoryField. 

Here is the deal.  Pastoring requires bearing a lot of burdens.  It requires counseling, hospital visits, death and funerals, constant calls of crisis or problems, weddings, and many many hours with people.

Michael Dotts said the noise in his head was like a scene from the movies when someone is trying to break another person to get information.  He goes on to explain it being as if large speaker was playing full volume in his head all the time with flashing lights, chaos, noise, loud and horrible sounds. It was awful.

That is what it sounded like in his head all the time.   

And that was his condition when he was on his hands and knees...
