What do you do when your whole identity revolves around academic performance? Well, for Ava Ward, it wasn’t good. The stress to perform at top level caused anxiety, even panic attacks.

After a particularly dark freshman year of high school, Ava came to the realization that her obsession with good grades had become an idol. At Bear Lake Camp, she realized she had a divided heart and her idolatry was supplanting faith in Christ. She did an about face, changed schools, changed her mindset, even changed her career path to studying the Bible and art, things a smart person just doesn’t do! It all comes to a head when Ava forgoes her graduation speech as valedictorian, fruit of a new heart.

See what happens when Ava gives her burden of perfection to the Lord, gets an undivided heart, and pursues Jesus full on as a biblical studies major at Wheaton College

This episode would be encouraging for those battling anxiety or perfectionist tendencies, showing them steps to freedom in Christ.

What happens when a brand‑new believer faces mockery at home, financial strain, and a nation at war—and chooses to study harder, love deeper, and answer with reasons instead of rage? Raviv Dror shares his newfound faith and path through doubt, dialogue, and devotion, exploring how apologetics turned shaky mornings into a steady, lived faith.

In Part 2, Raviv explains how apologetics helped him both strengthen his new faith and share it with others. He ends with thoughts on the Israeli war, the Christian response, and how to pray for the nation.

What happens when a life built on certainty starts to crack? Hear the One80 of Raviv Dror, who grew up in a hardline communist kibbutz where the collective came first, religion, even true Judaism, was scorned, and affection felt scarce. His story carries us from growing up on a faithless kibbutz to a cross-continent love that opens a door he isn’t ready to walk through—until everything else falls apart.

In part 1, hear how God broke Raviv free from communist ideology and slowly, faith starts to move in.

From collapse to calling. While Kristen Hale's body shut down, her soul woke up. Experience the voice of Jesus calling Kristen at a Mormon healing ceremony.

“My work is done here,” Jesus told Kristen Hale as she hobbled to the altar at the Mormon temple’s healing service. Jesus would gently lead her out of Mormonism and heal her–body, mind and Spirit.

In part 2, hear how Kristen became paralyzed on half of her body with a mysterious illness; she had a heart condition called POTS, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. During her lowest moments, Kristen found spiritual awakening and was gently guided out of the Mormon church and to a loving Christian community in a new state. See her helpful links on Mormonism, as well as POTS.

Leaving the checklist for grace.

“My work is done here,” Jesus told Kristen Hale as she hobbled to the altar at the Mormon temple’s healing service. Jesus would gently lead her out of Mormonism and heal her–-body, mind and Spirit.

In part 1, learn how Kristen grew up in a devout Mormon home, with a strict bishop father and the heavy weight of performance based love. Listen as she explains some tenets of Mormonism. See how Kristen’s zeal for Mormonism even brought her to witness to Christian friends. Glimpses of Mormonism’s incongruity began to reveal themselves after a devastating death in the family with a cold response.

What happens when a lifelong dream collides with an unexpected diagnosis? For David Suarez, the path seemed clear from the age of six: become a cardiovascular surgeon and heal broken hearts. But when David was fast-tracked into Brown University’s prestigious medical school, a sidelining diagnosis and an aha from God showed him that there was more than one way to fix a broken heart.

A shower of surrender showed David an entirely new way to see God and deal with his narcolepsy diagnosis. And he found a natural antidote in sharing Jesus with others that led David down an entirely new career path.

David is now a high school Bible teacher as well as published apologist. See how God guides David from one passionate career choice to another, and how he is now fixing broken hearts.

David’s Book, Worldview Review: A Guide to Worldview Formation, Christian Apologetics, Comparative Religion, and Evaluating Competing Belief Systems

She threw the Bible; it opened itself.

“But those who hope in the Lord. . . “

Kim Lengling had no hope. Out of desperation she cried out to the God she didn’t believe existed and out of frustration threw a Bible she had never read. But at just the right moment, God intervened with a slight whisper.

Kim was retired from the military, carrying PTSD with her. She thought God had abandoned her, but now she started attending church with skepticism, but she came back time and again. Learn why one day soon thereafter, she found herself skipping for joy out of church, hand in hand with her daughter.

Kim shares the tools she now has to deal with her PTSD and anxiety, along with God’s help, how she helps others manage anxiety through her podcast Let Fear Bounce, and what she now thinks of Isaiah 40:31, the special verse God whispered to her.

Tweeny Randall’s powerful One80 starts with her growing up in the Sikh culture in Brussels. We slowly hear how the brokenness felt in her family of origin gave root to an identity crisis that made itself known in attention seeking and substance abuse of her own.

As an adult Tweeny would continue this misguided lifestyle, but her world shattered with her mother’s illness. Alcohol came in and a stable marriage went out. In her utter depravity a caring friend’s request for help, an invitation to church, and a message from God directed right at Tweeny begins her journey to Jesus.

Part 2:

See how the Bible transforms Tweeny and helps her truly repent. Her marriage to Will was in total shambles but see how Tweeny becomes a prayer warrior and then watch God do a miracle.

This is an inspiring story for anyone in a troubled marriage, battling addiction, or otherwise seemingly far from God. Press play and be amazed at what God can do.
