Summary

How does one go from singing in a church, school, and college choir,  To modeling, runway walking, commercials and now a rising Christian,  Country Gospel, Singing, Recording Artist?

Rhonda  Towns has done just that and released her single, “Walking in Your Wonderful Light”, which is moving rapidly up  the Christian Top 20 and Southern Inspirations Charts.Rhonda says her  song was initially recorded more than seven years ago. Then after going  through a divorce, “Everything in my personal life fell apart. It was a  very hurtful, emotional, sad, and isolating time in my life.” But now  “Walking in Your Wonderful Light” is her resurrection song. Rhonda  re-recorded the track with Jim “Moose” Brown and after an eight-year  hiatus, it arrives as a stronger, more powerful representation of the  artist’s spirituality, tenacity, and drive.

Having listened to  each of her songs,. I ( Gary) predict Rhonda’s latest song will be # 1  very very soon! Let’s visit with Rhonda as she takes us on her powerful  sojourn, Especially, as God uses her voice for such a time as now..for  you and me too!

Summary

Danny says: I love being creative. My parents joked I was born with a pencil in my hand and, from a young age, I was drawing and entertaining anyone who would pay attention.
Despite having a good sense of humour, things haven’t always been easy. I’ve faced many battles throughout my life. I’ve undergone four open heart surgeries and a total of eight heart-related surgeries. I’ve nearly died on the operating table three times and was repeatedly told that I would never be able to physically excel. After much blood, sweat and tears, I’ve earned a black belt in Jiu Jitsu. This accomplishment came on the heels of having my descending aortic arch replaced in 2017 after it had ruptured. The fact that I am still alive and breathing after an aortic aneurysm is a miracle from God, and a story I am thankful to share with you today!

I do believe strongly that there is purpose to our suffering. What we face in not accidental. I want my story of how God brought me through dark times and difficult circumstances to become a part of someone else’s survival guide. Each and every day is a gift.

Summary

Chaplain Springer needs no introduction, he has returned to Challenges of Faith to provide update on how God has been using him since his last visit here.
Chaplain Willie Springer heads the new Veterans Outreach Office in Berea Ohio. He is an Army combat veteran of Vietnam and has a master’s degree in theology. Ashland Theological Seminary also named Willie Springer, Ohio’s American Legion Chaplain of the Year.

In Chaplain Springer’s own words

I offer an open, sensitive, and non-judgmental presence. I am accepting of all different beliefs, cultures and values of all people. It is my goal to support every Veteran and their Families with as much compassion and care as possible. In this role, I will provide a supportive presence, listening, and appropriate interventions. The Veterans Outreach office will assist vets through educational outreach, support groups, emotional and spiritual assistance and community based programs. As a veteran myself, I understand and recognize the need for a safe, nurturing and community oriented approach for Veterans and Families.
