Chasing the Kingdom

The Bible says that when we get saved, we transform into a whole new creation (2 Cor. 5:17). When that happens, we get the ability to see things in a whole new light. It's like, we get new eyes! Where other people see hopelessness, we see possibilities — and when we see things others can’t, we can do things others can’t do! In this episode I talk to Faith Alderman. When Faith was only 11, she had an encounter with God and got called to serve Him in Africa. Since then, she has what I call “eyes of adventure.” I asked her to tell the stories of what she has seen. Do you want to have eyes of adventure? Then listen in! About Faith Alderman: Faith is a missionary assigned to serve Africa. She loves Jesus and wants the African people to know that He loves them. She is back in America to raise funds for her ministry. Please pray about donating to her work so that Jesus can heal and restore the lost in Tanzania.

I was reading Psalm 7 in the Passion Translation and it talked about God having strong forgiveness. I had never head that phrasing so it led me to ask a lot of questions. One of them was, “do I have strong forgiveness?” In this episode I talk to Cherie Calbom. She has strong forgiveness. Cherie was viciously attacked when she was in her 20’s. God chose to bring her back to life because He wasn’t done with her. She was left with a severely damaged body and a long road to recovery. She had to decide whether she would forgive her attackers or not. Wanna find out what happened? Then listen in!

In this episode I talk to God’s daughter — Virginia Prodan. When Virginia got saved she was a lawyer in communist Romania. Afterwards, God led her to use her experience with the law to rescue Christians from persecution. She was so successful that the higher powers hired an assassin to kill her. When the assassin showed up at her office, the Power of God was so on Virginia that the assassin abandoned the mission and accepted Christ. Listen to our conversation! About Virginia: Virginia Prodan is an International Human Rights Attorney- www.virginiaprodanbooks.com ; Allied Attorney with the Alliance Defending Freedom; a sought- after International KeyNote Speaker; Author at Tyndale House Publishers of the best selling memoir on persecution - Saving My Assassin - www.virginiaprodanbooks.com/product/book; the host of Courageous Leadership with Virginia Prodan Podcast : https:// www.podbean.com/wlpi/pbblog-twbh7-b3867e Virginia Prodan graduated - from - Bucharest Law School in Romania with a Juris Doctor (JD) degree and - from - S.M.U. Law School in Dallas, TX with a Juris Doctor (JD) degree and a Master of Laws (LL.M International) degree. Virginia had spent her entire life searching for the truth. When she finally found it in the pages of the most forbidden book in all of Romania, Virginia accepted the divine call to defend fellow followers of Christ against unjust persecution in an otherwise ungodly land. For this act of treason, she was kidnapped, beaten, tortured, placed under house arrest, and came within seconds of being executed under the orders of Ceausescu himself. How Virginia not only managed to defeat her enemies time and again, but helped expose the appalling secret that would lead to the demise of Ceausescu’s evil communist empire is one of the most extraordinary stories ever told. Exiled from Romania since 1988, Virginia frequently shares her story as the keynote speaker in large public forums—including public and private schools and universities—and has been featured prominently in media reports. Virginia has been the focus of a full-length documentary and has been interviewed by Fox News, Heritage Foundation; Washington Watch with Tony Perkins, BBC News ; CBN Radio, Liberty University; Georgetown University; U.S. Air Force Academy Leadership Summitt; CBN News, Heritage Foundation Summitt; Daily Signal; NRB News; TBN - Erick Stakelbeck show; LifeWay – Chat with Priscilla, Heritage Action for America; TBN - Eric Metaxas show; Joni Table Talk; Liberty Institute; Daystar TV; In the Market with Janet Parshall; The NITE line, The Daily Signal, WFAA-TV Channel 8, Dallas Morning News, Point of View; Glenn Beck; KCBI 90.9, Point of View, and Family Life – Dr. Jim Dobson.

Does God still heal people today? When Jesus walked the earth in human form, He performed miracles on the regular and even told us to do them. But if you’re a modern day Christian in the Western world, you may believe that stuff isn’t for today. Why is that? In this episode, I talk to Kyle Woods - a healer nurse who prays for all his patients and has seen so many miracles throughout his career. Kyle recently launched Ascend Health, a telehealth and concierge medical practice and uses his platform to care for people both physically and spiritually. I thought he was the perfect person to talk about God’s healing power and His intentions for His children today. About Kyle Woods: Kyle Woods is a Georgia native who moved to Orlando in 2023 after completing the Christ for All Nations Evangelism Bootcamp, where God spoke clearly and called him not only as an evangelist, but as a pastor. Since answering that call, Kyle has witnessed the power of the gospel in undeniable ways—healings, deliverance, and the piercing truth of the gospel saving and transforming men, women, and children. Kyle now practices as a nurse practitioner in Florida. At the beginning of the year, God instructed him to launch a telehealth and concierge medical practice, Ascend Health—a business birthed in obedience and built for Kingdom impact. From day one, God’s favor has rested on it. The practice has accelerated, opened unexpected doors, and continues moving forward exactly as God wills. Today, Kyle steps forward with boldness, grace, and a burning mandate—to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ with power, to see lives transformed, and to see the glory of God invade every place his feet touch. He lives to be a living outpouring, that the Name of Jesus be lifted high and the earth be filled with His glory. Ascend Health website Ministry Website

Being saved doesn’t mean you’re a good leader. Neither does having a title or a ministry. Good leadership takes intense intentionality, sacrifice, and work. In the book of Isaiah (chapter 60:2) it says that a thick darkness will cover the earth. Recently, in prayer, Holy Spirt told me that God was raising up leaders that would help people to Hope in the darkness. In this episode, I talk to my new friend, Bruce Roselle. He’s the founder of Roselle Leadership and author of the book, “Wholehearted Leadership: A Toolbelt for Christian Leaders.” Bruce has helped many leaders in the past 3 decades but in this chapter of his life, he feels a calling to help pastors, ministry directors, and Christian leaders become more authentic and wholehearted … so that they can help others to hope in the current darkness. Bruce has a lot to say. If you’re a leader (or if you need a good one), listen in and glean from his incredible experience! About Bruce: Founder of Roselle Leadership (1995), brings a breadth of experience and a deep sense of purpose to the task of helping pastors, ministry directors, and Christian leaders become more authentic and wholehearted. His current book, Wholehearted Leadership: A Toolbelt for Christian Leaders, was published by WestBow Press in August 2025. An Emeritus Psychologist (Minnesota), he holds a PhD in Counseling from the University of Minnesota and a BA in Psychology from Northwestern University. Bruce has written a bi-monthly article for the American City Business Journals and articles that appeared in various professional journals in the field of leadership/talent management. He has published four other books, including: Vital Truths (2002) and Fearless Leadership (2006), which won two awards from independent publishing organizations--Best Business Book (bronze) and Best Self-Help Book (silver) in 2007, The Fraud Factor (2016), and The Great Leader Handbook (2019).

In this episode I talk to Lesley Pyle - one of God’s pioneers. In 1995, Lesley was moving up the corporate ladder towards a very successful career when something happened to her that changed her life - she became a mom. Lesley couldn’t picture a world where she couldn’t raise her new baby the way she wanted to. Instead of settling for how she was told the world had to be, she used her faith to do something new - working remotely in a time where most people didn’t even think it was an option. After doing it successfully herself, she built a business that helps other talented and hard working moms do the same. Listen in on our conversation and get inspired!

The internet has created virtual worlds that billions of people spend a lot of their time in. Did Jesus die for those worlds, too? In this episode, I invite my friend Romans to talk about it. Romans is a serial entrepreneur whose ventures have generated over $100million dollars. He wants to use his resources and talents to impact the gaming industry for the Kingdom. The gaming industry is bigger than the movie, music, and sports industries combined and it’s a field filled with many lost souls. Will the church be willing to cross social and religious boundaries to go after them? Romans is holding a gaming and content creator conference in November. Info at ReachConf.org About Romans: Romans is a gaming and streaming authority, tech entrepreneur, and founder of ventures generating $100M+. He has guided creators to hundreds and thousands of followers and millions of likes. Romans empowers others by merging faith, business, and technology to build thriving communities at ReachConf.org

I’ve been thinking a lot about how worship is tied to nature. Is worship just singing to Jesus? Or, are there other ways to do it? Or, dare I say, are there better ways to do it? Did God create nature to give us a vital way to connect with Him? I invited Jarvis Ovalles to talk about it. RIP Charlie Kirk.
