Podcasts about Cedar Falls

In this moving episode of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up the Mess, Nick sits down with evangelist David Ursin to unpack a life shaped by faith, tested by trials, and transformed by grace.   David grew up in Cedar Falls, Iowa, the son of a Methodist pastor, learning early what it meant to be a “PK.” Yet despite being surrounded by church, he admits he lived in a lukewarm faith—outwardly devoted, but inwardly unsure what true surrender looked like. That all changed at 19, when a simple trip to Memphis opened his eyes to believers on fire for Jesus. In that airport, he made the decision to give God everything—and he never looked back.   David shares how fasting, Bible college, and unexpected mentorship under evangelism legends Reinhard Bonnke and Daniel Kolenda propelled him into global ministry. From learning the foundations of scripture to organizing gospel crusades for tens of thousands in Pakistan and India, David opens up about the miracles, the challenges, and the very real risks that come with preaching in hostile environments—including persecution, terrorist threats, and even moments of radical conversion among those once opposed to the gospel.   But this isn't just a story of global missions—it's also one of family. David reflects on meeting his wife Natalia, a widowed mother of two whose husband was tragically murdered. He shares how her radical act of forgiveness just one week after the killing became one of the clearest pictures of Christ he has ever seen. Together, David and Natalia built a family rooted in redemption: he legally adopted her twins earlier this year, giving them his name as their father, and they recently welcomed their first biological daughter, Evangelina, whose birth carries a powerful tie to Romans 1:16.   Throughout the conversation, David and Nick dive deep into themes of faith, forgiveness, and fatherhood. They talk about the challenges of blended families, the responsibility of spiritual leadership in the home, and why spending daily time with Jesus is the only way to lead with strength.   This episode is both inspiring and practical—a reminder that faith isn't passive, it's a verb. Whether you're wrestling with forgiveness, searching for direction, or simply navigating the everyday chaos of parenting, David's story will encourage you to trust God with everything. 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:59 David's Early Life and Upbringing 01:56 Struggles with Faith and Youth Group Experiences 04:13 Turning Point: Encounter in Memphis 11:48 Bible College Journey 19:21 Evangelism Training and Mentorship 26:23 Organizing Mass Gospel Events 37:06 Personal Life and Meeting His Wife 41:03 Introduction to Natalia's Story 41:48 The Power of Forgiveness 42:23 A Tragic Murder and Its Aftermath 43:27 Reflections on Forgiveness and Faith 51:02 Challenges of Blended Families 57:59 Adoption and Legal Parenthood 01:00:47 Becoming a Biological Father 01:06:30 Faith and Parenting 01:16:42 Final Thoughts and Advice   YouTube: www.youtube.com/@DomesticDadProject   Website: www.domesticdadproject.com    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DOMESTICDADPROJECT   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/the_domestic_dad_project   Making Jesus Known Website: www.makingjesusknown.org   David on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evangelistdavidursin/   Donate to Making Jesus Known: https://pushpay.com/g/makingjesusknown?src=hpp

A new academic year begins at the end of August. Minnesota college freshmen headed to one Iowa school will be able to pay in-state tuition. The Iowa Board of Regents recently approved a plan to offer that discount to new University of Northern Iowa undergraduates from six neighboring states.   The university is in Cedar Falls, which is about a two-hour drive from Rochester. Its tuition deal for students across the Iowa border is one of many strategies that institutions have used as enrollment has dipped around the country.      Vanessa Miller is a higher education reporter for the Iowa newspaper, The Gazette. She joined MPR News guest host Chris Farrell to talk about her reporting on the tuition deal.

Iowa Business Report Friday EditionJun. 20, 2025      Forrest Stowe of SciPlay on the Cedar Falls-based company's growth and new $4 million office and studio there. 

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Bruce Bowler from Cedar Falls, IA. Thank you for partnering with us through Project23. Your support is helping others reach for Jesus—maybe for the first time. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 6:53-56: When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore. And when they got out of the boat, the people immediately recognized him and ran about the whole region and began to bring the sick people on their beds to wherever they heard he was. And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or countryside, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and implored him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched it were made well. — Mark 6:53-56 Jesus steps out of the boat in Gennesaret—and the people move fast. They recognize him. They run through towns and villages. They gather the sick, the broken, the weary—laying them out in streets and marketplaces. But what they want is simple. Not a lesson. Not a meeting. Not even a touch from his hand. “If we could just touch the fringe of his garment.” That's what they were after. Just the edge. The tassel. The outermost thread. Because they believed the power of Jesus extended even to the fringe. And it did. “As many as touched it were made well.” Faith doesn't always walk in with swagger. Sometimes, it crawls in with desperation. Sometimes, it's not bold enough to stand tall— but just enough to stretch out an arm. Faith reaches for the fringe. The people in this story knew they weren't worthy to ask for much. But they believed Jesus was more than enough. So they reached. And Jesus healed. It's the same today. You may not feel like your faith is strong. You may not feel like you have the words. You may not even feel worthy of asking. But Jesus still honors those who reach out to him. Even if all you can manage today is a whisper. A prayer through tears. A step toward the church. A breath of surrender. A call of repentance. That's faith. And Jesus sees it and responds to it. So wherever you are, however far off you feel—reach. The fringe of his robe still holds the fullness of his power. ASK THIS: When have you felt unworthy to approach Jesus? What does “reaching for the fringe” look like in your life today? How can desperation lead to deeper faith? Why do you think Jesus honors even small acts of faith? DO THIS: Take one small action today that symbolizes reaching for Jesus—pray, read one verse, confess, or ask for help. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I don't always feel strong or worthy, but I'm reaching for you anyway. Meet me in my weakness with your healing power. Amen. PLAY THIS: Touch the Hem of His Garment.
