LIA serves in twelve countries in Africa and two countries in the Caribbean. Simon Mbevy left his law practice to work full-time for Transform Nations - an organization that focuses on prayer and on men’s ministry. Simon’s advice to men, “Dads, it’s never too late to speak words of acceptance and affirmation into the lives of your children.”

Mike Graham and Rich Lemaster are the guests on this week’s program. Both have been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Twenty-eight years ago Mike was given six months to live. Rich was told he had as little as three months to live (more than five years ago). When asked by Kurt and Chad about how one deals with such a dire diagnosis, Mike said, “I just keep a positive attitude - I remember that whatever happens, I win!” And Rich adds, “When you face death, you learn a lot about life - it’s about God, family, friends and serving people.” We are all going to die. Listen now to the inspiring stories from these two men as they talk about what it was like hearing the “C” word coming from their doctor.

On this week’s show, Southeast Teaching Pastor and author Kyle Idleman talks to Kurt and Chad about “God’s gift of desperation.” Spiritual awakening frequently occurs in times of desperation. No one would choose desperation, but that’s when we are most likely to cry out, “God, help me!” And that’s when our dependence on Him draws us into His presence and power.
