Choose Life Radio

Duncan Othen lived a different kind of life. His temper caused him trouble at almost every turn. And then there was that bear wrestling challenge! But, in part 2 of his story, everything changed when he accepted Jesus into his heart. Don't miss this life-changing story. There's hope for all of us!

Duncan is the friend of a friend. And when Howard and I met him, we knew you would be encouraged when you heard his story. Having grown up an athiest, his attitudes about much of life were dramatically different than most of us experienced. But it was his temper that really needed to be touched by God. His is a story that will cause you to think deeply about your own life. It certainly did for me!

We welcome back Shana Strole. Although she was with us a few weeks ago, we decided to bring her back,because, in these days, we want parents (and grandparents) to know how to address issues our children face on the playground. Some are bullied, some kept out of games, some literally go home crying and even beat up! She shares how parents can address issues that harm our precious children.

Second time around, Kevin Ross tells us how difficult it is when people in church come up to you and ask, "When are you two going to start a family?" Perhaps we can learn how sensitive this topic is for people WANTING to have a child, but have been thwarted from that dream. And then....even when it causes us to wonder WHY God isn't intervening?

Kevin Ross shares a very personal story of the trials he and his wife faced. They desparately wanted to have a child, but it just didn't happen. His story is poignent and sensitive...and likely will touch the hearts of our listeners. But, as Rush used to say, "It's the REST of story you will want to hear!"

Shana Strole is an author of adorable children's books. She has captured a way to explore kindness so young children can better deal with things that are said on the playground when parents aren't around!  She also shares her background and how she dealt with two miscarriages. AND... she brings her precious father to Choose Life Radio, as well! Listen here now!

What fun to connect with a pastor who's a very precious friend! When I served as the leader of several Pregnancy Centers, Pastor Berry was a dear friend. He brought his congregation to a point of securing part of their ministry resources to help pay the high costs of being on 500 radio stations across America. Berry, unfortunately, shares a difficult story from his heart that brings us to tear...

Toni Weisz shares her powerful story and is a wonderful guest speaker for Pregnancy Help Centers as well as Churches. Often Pastors feel reluctant to talk about abortion, but many women NEED to hear stories like Toni's so they can begin healing. Be brave, churches! Women attending all over the globe need the healing touch of understanding God's forgiveness.

"My Ashes to Beauty" is a women’s support ministry helping those who are facing an unplanned pregnancy, post-abortion trauma, or sexual/physical abuse. It's led by our guest, Toni Weisz, and her heart is to walk alongside them with compassion, providing resources and information, and sharing the love of Jesus.

We welcome back, our friend, George Brummell. Last week George shared about his time serving in Vietnam. Today, he shares his commitment to protect his wife who has dementia and...by the way...George is blind!

Our guest today is George Brummell, a Veteran from the Vietnam War. George shares a story that most Americans, especially age 60 or less, will be amazed to hear. And oh by the way, George authored the children's book "The Mole and the Violin".

Mondo De La Vega is a first for our program. Why? Because before he became a believer, he was a gang member, harming people, stealing, and so much more...UNTIL...he met Jesus!

Katie Brown serves the American Life League as Director of Communications. She states, "This provides a wonderful opportunity for those who retain fond memories of the scouting years to support a new generation of girls without having to endorse the objectionable philosophies now espoused by both Boys and Girls Scout USA."

Abortion: The Case for Life : an amazing book written by two men who simply wanted to state the obvious! The gift of Life is too valuable to make the choice to end the life of an unborn child. Listen with me as we talk, again, about their desire to share a very appropriate option to abortion. And this time, we hear a lot from Mitch. :-)

Our guest today is Andrea Trudden. She serves as Vice-President of Communications & Marketing at Heartbeat International. Andrea sheds light on the recent Dobbs Decision passed down by the SCOTUS. She also shares a sorry state of affairs as she makes listeners aware of states that offer abortion as a part of their state tourism programs. Andrea also brings us inside the "conduit of hope&q...

When we first met Steventhen Holland, we had just begun this ministry of Choose Life Radio. I heard him speak at a pregnancy center in our area, and his countenance was so amazing...purely from his relationship with God. He is back to let us know how he navigated through a Caucasian adoption as a black man. It's a story only God could provide in the life of Steventhen! And it all began with hi...

We are so proud to bring Kelly Lester back this week. After hearing her story last week, I do hope you, our listener, shared her testimony. So I'm assuming you also invited them to join us for this part 2 with Kelly Lester. Tighten your seat belts!!! But have NO FEAR. God is with us all the way with Kelly's profound story today.

Our guest, Kelly Lester, allows us to have two interviews. Why? Because she is a very strong representative of someone dealing with a deep and hurtful childhood. That trend continutes for Kelly in the relationships she accepted as an adult. Kelly shares her complicated past and the painful ways she disappoints her precious father, whom she loved. That father prayed to Our Father to protect his dau...

We recently talked with Bur Shilling about the importance of understanding the trajectory currently aimed right at Israsel. But, today, I asked him to join us once more to discuss the education of our youth--from kindergartner to college. If YOU are a student wondering what you can best do to help this upcoming generation, be a teacher who shares Christ in loving, in caring, and best -- in words a...

Our guest caller, Stephanie, shares the struggles she has faced in her life. She delicately shares the story of her daughter, now in the hands of a man, deeply concernable. Stephanie's passion to protect her beautiful daughter with special needs from a man with a reputation for harming women makes this an interview that requires our prayers. Thank you for caring AND praying for young girls aro...

Dr. Bur Shilling is a long-standing friend of my husband's--they went to college together at Taylor University, and that means a lot! But, he's also a minister who leads Christian groups to Israel. He shares the Bible and Christ throughout the tour. So today, I've asked him to discuss Israel in 2024. Join us, won't you?

Do you have a birthmark? I did, once upon a time. My mother called it a "beauty mark", but after my fourties, the doctor said, "it's got to go"! Today we have an awesome "birth-mark" story, and adoption is at the center, as is meeting a birth mother and the gift God gives--LIFE! While Kathy does most of the actual interview, it's a MUST to hear Roger's poi...

Stephen E. Strang is an evangelical publisher and author of Spirit Led Living in an Upside-down World . Stephen is also the founder and chief executive officer of Charisma Media. His book will challenge the reader, and the interview unpacks America "upside down!" right now.

Frequently, Jonathan quotes Genesis 18:14, "Is anything too hard for our LORD?" when autographing copies of his first book. It's both a nod to his own "miracle" pregnancy for him and his wife. And, it's also a statement of faith for every believer's future.

Jonathan is our guest this week on Choose Life Radio. The power of this Christ-Follower is his impact on every person hearing his testimony as a guest preacher. But that's not all--he also provides the most amazing songs through his powerfull voice. Listen in...you won't be disappointed.
