Faith Will Embolden Your Life
Too many of us live in fear and isolation. Jesus Christ said Fear not
or Do not be afraid
more than anything else in his public life. He wanted us to be at peace with Him.
The Good News is not that life will become easy. The Good News is that you no longer have to carry your cross or your burdens on your own. When we surrender our fears to Jesus Christ, He gives us His presence, love, and strength.
1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you.
In Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus gives us the antidote to anxiety. Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life…. Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you besides.
Real Faith, Real Stories
The Good News Journey podcast is a respite from this busy world we live in. We will talk with Christian authors and speakers who have a special way of relating ancient Scriptures to our everyday lives. We will spend time with ordinary, faithful Christians doing extraordinary things, serving God by serving others. As your hosts, we will share our own personal testimonies and how faith changed our lives.
We are surrounded by good news. We just don't hear about it. But here you will find real people with genuine faith changing the world one person at a time.
Podcasts & Videos
Each week, we will interview a special guest who is spreading the good news in their own way. We will highlight certain Scripture readings that apply meaningfully to our daily lives. We will pray together. We will share the Bible together. And hopefully, we will bring more joy and light to your life. John 8:12 I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

Deacon Bobby Ehnow
Seventeen years ago, Bobby thought he had it all - a home in Coronado, a thriving business, a loving family, and regular church attendance. Then the Feds came knocking at his door early one morning. He was arrested, convicted of business crimes, and found himself in prison. What happened after that is truly miraculous.
John and Holly Carney
Contributing host Kimberly King talks with John and Holly Carney (their dog had little to say). Both have achieved great success in their lives, but keeping their Christian faith growing has always come first. John was one of the greatest kickers in San Diego Chargers history, making almost 82% of his field goals, and he remains the team's all-time leading scorer. Holly produces family-friendly films and TV shows and writes children's books. What they are most proud of is their children and their faith walk, including their son, JD, who is studying to become a Catholic priest.
Eddie Blajos
Eddie Blajos was known as the "rock" in prison. He started one of the most ruthless gangs in LA, was convicted of murder, and spent 47 years in prison. But he somehow found faith in the desolation and darkness behind bars. He has turned his life around and now helps other former inmates put their lives on the right track through faith.
United Levao
United Levao faced nothing but instability, sexual abuse, drugs, family dysfunction, and gang life growing up. One of 13 children, he joined a gang at 11 years old and tried to find acceptance among the OGs, the original gangsters. At 15, he was convicted of murder and sentenced to 50 years to life in prison. But thanks to a Christian chaplain who regularly came to visit him, his life has completely changed.
Carter Schultz
A former college quarterback and business student who decided after graduating from college that God was calling him to serve others rather than himself. He went from one playing field to another and is now teaching others about faith and leading a Christ-centered life in missionary work.
Dr. Suzanne Afflalo
She worked her whole life as a family practice physician looking forward to retiring in Jamaica where she grew up. But, instead, she was called to serve in the inner city of San Diego. She started a health fair for the underserved community, and it now attracts hundreds of people on the first Wednesday of every month.
Father Greg Boyle
A Jesuit priest who founded Homeboy Industries in LA, the world's largest gang intervention and rehabilitation program. Father G, as he is called, has turned around the lives of hundreds of gang members by giving them work and dignity and self-respect. His book, Tattoos on the Heart, became a New York Times bestseller in 2010.
Curtis Jackson
A former gang member who committed murder when he was 19 and spent 28 years in prison, 10 of those years in solitary confinement. It was during that time in "the shoe" that he found Jesus Christ through prayer and reading the Bible. He is now out of prison and preparing to give back by helping others to find faith while they are incarcerated.
Larry Mehaffey
Of thedeeperspirituallife.com, an author and pastoral teacher for over 45 years, who, as a Southern California teenager living amid all the temptations that come with that, met the Lord and his wife on the same night at a Christian outreach that changed his life forever.
Lt. Col. Rick Wolf
President, Soul Survivor Outdoor, who, after serving in the Marine Corps in charge of wounded Marines in 2013, developed an outdoor wilderness program for the Marines of the Detachment that eventually catapulted him from the business world of landscape architecture to launching his ministry to care for emotionally and physically wounded Marines in many ways, including "soul repair".
Dave Townsend
Founder of Faith Warrior Ministry, who found his faith while serving in the US Marine Corps, as a part of The Navigators Military ministry. He continued his Navigator association through 1986 while being educated and employed as a draftsman. In 2011, Dave left the business world and The Navigators to start Faith Warrior Ministry on Camp Pendleton to serve the Lord full-time spreading the gospel to Marines stationed there.
