Hearing how ordinary people navigate similar challenges can help you find solutions and feel less alone. Be inspired by real-life stories that reignite your passion for life and business.

This is a freedom episode you will not want to miss.

Breakthrough! 5 essential Strategies for Freedom, Healing, and Wholeness (March 2024)
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.

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.
Its easy to see how Pastors or ministers can get numb, neutral, and burned out.
We were honored to interview Pastor Ed today. He has served as Pastor of Cornerstone Church in...

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
