Podcasts about deep calls

“At the bottom of our being is a throbbing, an aching that pines for our Other, day and night... a soul-longing that can't be fulfilled by anything this world has to offer.” Those words from Strahan Coleman's Thirsting open the door to a conversation about the ache beneath all our searching. What begins with people paying premium prices for meaningful emotional experiences soon turns toward the deeper hunger those experiences may touch but can never satisfy. Kyle and Wayne explore how easily our spiritual yearning can be hijacked by illusion, fear, performance, or the pursuit of a “God moment” we can control. But the deeper invitation is not to chase an experience; it is to awaken to the One who is already near, whose desire for us is greater than our desire for him, and whose kingdom is already within us. Perhaps the fulfillment of our deepest ache is found not in extraordinary moments, but in learning to recognize and nurture his presence in the ordinary ones.

Today's episode is a special guided encounter, where Stasi gently leads us beyond learning about Jesus and into experiencing His presence within us. Through prayer, breath, Scripture, and sacred imagination, we are invited to settle our souls, release our burdens, and meet with the living Christ in the deep places of our hearts. We encourage you to set aside a quiet moment for this encounter, come expectant, and let Jesus draw you into His love.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Ephesians 3:17 (NIV) – so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.

Why did Jesus come to the world?” It's not to bring a cosmic judge even closer to those he would condemn. Instead, Jesus came to show us how to live, even if his greatest lesson came through his death: resurrection is real if we trust in Jesus. Jesus sacrificed for those who killed him because God so loved the world.  Join us as we celebrate that God's great love is for us and that God's great love can move through us, even in sacrifice.- Series Description - True depth cuts through shallow places of safety. For some of us this means moving from the shoreline to the waters. For others, it means going even further out into the blue water, past our comfort zones. This Lent, we will explore four movements involved in creating a life of depth: Receive from God in a posture of dependence. Repent and turn back to God. Be renewed by God's Spirit. Join God as God restores all things. God has this invitation for us. How will we respond?

“Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds." - Jesus (John 12:24)As the week we now call Holy Week unfolds, we see in Jesus what it looks like to live a sacrificial life. Together as a body we'll explore Jesus's instructions and see what that may look like in our lives.- Series Description - True depth cuts through shallow places of safety.

When we think about the deep things of life, money may not be the first thing that comes to mind. But Jesus says there's a deep connection between our hearts and our wallets.

In Luke 4, Jesus says that the Spirit of the Lord is upon him to proclaim freedom to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set the oppressed free-- to proclaim the Lord's favor. If we follow Jesus, we are to go and do likewise. We are called to go deeper in mission — not mission as a one-time experience but as a daily act of discipleship. This seems tough, but, just like building the virtue of humility, it starts with simple habits we can build over time.

Spring football has officially arrived in Eugene, and on the latest episode of the Autzen Audibles Podcast, Matt Prehm, Erik Skopil, and John Evans dive into some of the biggest storylines shaping Oregon's 2026 offseason. The crew opens the show by unpacking its biggest takeaways from hearing Dan Lanning meet with the media, including what stood out most about his early thoughts on the roster, leadership, quarterback development, and the overall tone surrounding the program as practice gets underway. From there, the conversation shifts into one of the most fascinating exercises of the spring: trying to project Oregon's two-deep. On both offense and defense, there are a handful of spots that feel especially difficult to sort through right now, whether because of young talent, portal additions, position versatility, or unresolved competition heading into camp. Matt, Erik, and John each break down the spots that are toughest to call and explain where the biggest battles could emerge over the next several weeks. The episode wraps with a ranking of the Top 10 Oregon players entering the spring season, sparking debate about proven stars, rising difference-makers, and which Ducks are best positioned to shape the program's ceiling in 2026.

Join us as we reflect together “On Becoming Prayerful People” so that we might better live into the richness of active engagement with and openness to God as a way of life.  Far more than merely asking God for things on behalf of ourselves or others, Christian prayer involves moment-by-moment availability and permeability to God and embraces a great “biodiversity” in the ways of prayer available to the church through the ages and to us in our own time. - Series Description -  True depth cuts through shallow places of safety.

Is reality fundamentally inert, or is it structured by divine desire? In this episode, John Vervaeke and Zevi Slavin explore the metaphysical vision of Ibn Gabirol and the integration of Jewish thought with Neoplatonism. They examine the claim that all of existence arises through the coupling of matter and form, unified by divine will. The conversation traces the Philosophical Silk Road and reflects on how Ibn Gabirol shaped Christian, Islamic, and Jewish philosophy. At its center is a contemporary challenge: can we recover a shared philosophical language that orients us toward unity without erasing difference? Zevi Slavin is the founder of Seekers of Unity and a teacher of Jewish mysticism and integrative metaphysics. His work engages classical Jewish sources and cultivates cross traditional dialogue grounded in participatory metaphysics.

"Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me." Psalm 42:7  "In God's presence, I dive past the surface clamor, and the deep within me answers the Deep beyond me. The hush becomes a hymn only the soul can hear." Imagine a submarine plunging beneath the ocean's surface, where the noise of the world fades away, and a profound stillness envelops you. This is where true connection occurs — deep meeting deep. Just as Moses entered the thick cloud to commune with God, we, too, are invited to dive into the depths of our spirits, seeking that intimate fellowship with our Creator. "Deep calls to deep,"  Consider the transformative power of contemplative prayer. By repeating a verse, we can create a serene rhythm that draws us closer to God's heart. As we meditate on Ephesians 3:18-19, we grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. Our spirits begin to flutter like the wings of a bird taking flight, soaring above the present moment and into the embrace of divine love. Ephesians 3:17-19 says, "... may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." Let us not forget how valuable our silent encounters with God are. As Richard Foster said, “Depth meets depth in silence.” This quietude allows us to lower our barriers and emerge into a realm where we can truly listen. In this space, we find understanding that surpasses mere human wisdom because, as 1 Corinthians 2:10 reveals, it's through the Spirit that we discover the depths of God. When we embrace this invitation to “go beneath the noise,” we are freed from the distractions that pull our attention. As the ocean is infinitely vast, so too is the love that God has for each of us. And like a submarine exploring the deep sea, we discover hidden treasures in His Word — revelations that illuminate our paths and enrich our souls. Amen. 1 Corinthians 2:10 says, "But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God." Prayer for the Day! Dear Lord, we thank You for calling us to a place where Your depths meet our depths. Brethren, may the Holy Spirit help you to quiet the noise around you and within you, so that you may experience the fullness of God's love that casts out fear. May He steady your heart like still waters and tune your spirit to His gentle whisper. Where anxiety shouts, may His peace speak louder. Where weariness lingers, may His presence renew your strength. May the Holy Spirit align your desires with the Father's will, sharpen your discernment, and awaken holy hunger. May your prayers rise like incense and your worship become a sanctuary where worry cannot live. And as you yield, may rivers of living water flow from within you to refresh weary hearts around you. In Jesus name. Amen.

We live in a shallow world with quick answers, constant motion, and noise both inside and out. Lent calls us deeper--beneath distraction, beneath habit, beneath self. In the Old Testament, God often led His people into deep work confronting what was broken, healing what was hidden, and shaping His people for wholeness. This Lent, we enter that same journey and allow God to go beneath our surface to connect us more to our Divine Design.  We begin the Lent Season with a special Ash Wednesday Sermon. Pastor Karla leads us into the Lenten Season by asking us to examine in ourselves the feelings that are similar to those found in the writier of Psalm 42. Why are you downcast oh my soul? At the depths is the feeling of being overwhelmed. Yet, whatever the depths of God, is the appeal to the corresponding depths in us.  Passage: Psalm 42 We have three worship opportunities for you to experience: 9:00 a.m. - Sanctuary Service 9:30 a.m. - Online Service 10:30 a.m. - Chapel Service  Please consider joining us for one of these services.  To view past worship services along with other digital content, go to our Youtube Channel @PointLomaChurchOnline.  To get involved in what God is doing within our community, please visit our website at www.pointlomachurch.org.

This week we're talking to Brandon Andress about his book, "Deep Calls to Deep". We talk about navigating these divisive times with a mindset of love and what it looks like to hold our values differently than the way the world might expect us to. This one will challenge you!

Today we look closely at Psalm 42, a beautiful psalm of lament that we often don't get past the first verse on: “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you.” As we track with the psalmist, we learn that the seasons of life shift at times. There will be chapters in our life in which it feels like God is far away, and we will thirst for His presence. (We should thus be deeply grateful for times of smooth abundance.) Being honest with God about our frustrations helps us sense His presence and reassures us He sees us. The things we tell ourselves are extremely important and can connect us to God's truth (or do the opposite). When we are walking through a difficult chapter we must remember God's faithfulness in the past. God has been faithful. He will be again. This is always true.To investigate this most important of stories further, go here.

Pastor Jae explores that while Jesus does inaugurate his kingdom on earth, daily discipline is needed to help us discover where, as Frederich Buecner says, our “deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet.” Speaker: Pastor Jae Newman Part of the series “Ordinary Time: No holidays. No feast days. Just "normal."”

For marine biologist, writer, and lay theologian Rachel Jordan, the ocean has never just been a backdrop—it's been a living metaphor for her relationship with God. Raised in a Christian household, Rachel's wonder at tide pools and the mysteries of the deep developed alongside her budding faith. She explains how the intrigue of peering into tiny, brimming tide pools mirrored her fascination with glimpses of God's character: “There was something vast and impressive that laid beyond, that I wanted to explore.” Just as the tide pools hinted at whole worlds awaiting discovery, Rachel found that both faith and science propelled her deeper: “Being a Christian has propelled me further into a desire to understand science ... and being a scientist has, I believe, made me a better Christian.” Rachel may study the ocean's wonders, but her path has been anything but fearless. “I've had this recurring nightmare ... of getting eaten by sharks ... I was just terrified of it,” she confesses. And yet, her marine biology career meant close encounters with those notorious creatures were not just possible, but sometimes necessary. What's remarkable is how God met her in those moments of dread—not by removing the fear, but by transforming it. As she recounts, “The beauty is that God took this thing that I was afraid of and converted it to open-mouthed wonder.” Rachel's transparency normalizes fear as a companion to growth, whether learning to dive or facing daunting new callings. Her encouragement? “It's okay to feel [fear]; it might be something that God uses in your story to do something really big and to show you more of who he is.” Lessons of Grief and Hope from the Coral Reefs Perhaps nowhere does Rachel blend her scientific vocation and spiritual conviction more poignantly than in her stewardship of endangered corals. She describes the “magic castles” of Dry Tortugas National Park—towering, endangered pillar corals—where she devoted herself to preservation efforts. Witnessing the corals' decline from disease was, for Rachel and her fellow scientists, “tragic and deeply impactful.” Yet, as a follower of Christ, Rachel finds hope in the heartbreak. Not only does she grieve in community, but she sees loss through the lens of biblical resurrection. She connects the “white skeleton bony structures” of dead corals to Ezekiel's vision of dry bones: if God can bring those bones to life, can't he also restore coral reefs one day? For Rachel, loss becomes an invitation to hope: “All of creation is eventually going to be restored, remade ... I just wonder what he's going to do next.” Divine Lessons from Buddy Dives and Seahorses Diving, for all its wonder, is fraught with risk, which is why marine biologists always practice “buddy diving”—entrusting their lives to a partner in the depths. For Rachel, this is a living parable: “God is our ultimate dive buddy ... he's not only capable of rescuing us in danger, but he promises to never leave or forsake us.” Other creatures—even a seahorse named Mr. Snuggles—have revealed to her the joy of relationship, not just provision. “I want to, like Mr. Snuggles, draw close to him and just sort of curl up with him and hang out together.” Scripture: A Dive Site Brimming with Life What better metaphor for the Bible, Rachel muses, than a vibrant dive site—unchanging in position but always full of surprise, beauty, and life? “When I read God's word ... there's always something new to discover.” It's a place to keep returning with fresh awe and an explorer's heart. The Deep Calls to Deep Whether or not you'll ever strap on a snorkel, Rachel's conversation is an invitation: to see the world as shot through with the beauty and presence of its Maker, to find him not only in safe harbor but also in the open, sometimes scary waters of life, and to trust that every loss and fear can be met—and even redeemed—by the God who made oceans and corals... and calls each of us out into the deep. MEET RACHEL JORDAN Rachel G. Jordan is a professional marine biologist and lay theologian. A self-professed Jesus-loving coral nerd, she was raised in Idaho and has since traveled the globe chasing her passion for faith and science. She has an MS in marine biology and ecology from James Cook University (Australia), a BS in ecology from Seattle Pacific University (USA), and a certification in biblical studies from Bodenseehof Bible School (Germany). In addition to working as a coral biologist for the US National Park Service, Rachel has worked in marine aquaculture research, organic chemistry laboratories, veterinary research facilities, the pet industry, and a museum. When not diving or writing, she can be found reading C.S. Lewis, growing wildflowers, and exploring creation with her husband. More at https://rachelgjordan.com/  MORE ABOUT “IF THE OCEAN HAS A SOUL” The ocean is filled with scientific discoveries―and God's presence. For marine biologist Rachel Jordan, both science and Scripture are means of knowing creation and Creator. In If the Ocean Has a Soul, Rachel considers the natural world through a spiritual lens, meshing marine biology with biblical truths in a keen and current take on faith and science. With engaging storytelling and deep knowledge of the Bible, she asks and answers questions like: How can Christians reconcile religion and science when the two seem opposed? What do suffering and death teach us about the character of Jesus? How do we care for the environment when there seems to be little hope for repair? What do the ocean and its sea creatures, specifically, reveal about God? In these pages, Rachel recounts fascinating aquatic phenomena alongside the sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic stories of animals she has known. You'll lose yourself in the shadows of an underwater labyrinth; hear spiritual wisdom from a great-grandmother coral the size of a Volkswagen Beetle; and fall in love with Porky, the pudgy porcupinefish greeting visitors at the Windjammer shipwreck. And along the way, you'll see how the promise of restoration unfolds in both physical and spiritual ways. Rachel's thoughtful scientific and theological insights encourage us to know the Creator of the sea and everything in it.

When we are feeling empty or spiritually depressed, or when circumstances make us aware of our weakness, that is a great opportunity to grow in God by turning to Him and asking Him to fill our void. We must be thirsty for God before we drink of His living water (Isa 55:1, John 7:37, Rev 21:6, 22:17). When our soul is full of worldly things we have no room for God, but “blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (God's Word and Spirit) Presence, for they shall be filled (with God's Presence)” (Matt 5:6). In Psalm 42 the psalmist is depressed and thirsty for the living God (v1-2), so He turns to God to fill him. Inspired by the local scenery, where the river Jordan flows out from Mount Hermon at Banias and tumbles down in waterfalls, he focuses on God, seeing these waters as a picture of God's river of life (v6), and then cries out from the depth of his heart (need) to the depths of God to fill him: “Deep calls unto deep at the noise (sound) of Your waterfalls (of grace)” (v7a). Through His Word, we hear the sound of His river of life flowing to us, and respond by calling out to Him to fill us. As a result: “all Your waves and billows (of love, peace and joy) have gone over me. The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime” (v7b-8). The Oil Miracle (2Kings 1-7), when God filled all the empty vessels that were presented to Him with His Oil (representing the Holy Spirit) reveals that He is willing to fill all the empty parts of our soul with His Spirit, if we turn to Him, present them to Him, and ask Him to fill us. The Oil only stopped flowing when there were no longer any empty vessels to fill. So our empty voids (our awareness of our weakness and need) are a great opportunity to turn to god and be filled.

"I chose Baikal at first because of the location, inspired by a magical realist novel set there, called The Year of Miracle and Grief by Leonid Borodin. I was curious to hear the actual sound of this ancient deep body of water. Listening, I was drawn into the scene, hearing the water lapping, like a giant breathing. And the crunching movement of feet circling it.  "The presence of visitors at the lakeside creates a cultural meeting point, but is it respectful, or is it consuming? There is an ominous feeling as human presence circles and crunches without ceasing, almost predatory. But also thirsty. The lake has a mystical gravity, drawing people to its invisible depths, that speaks of eternity.  "I edited the original file, removing voices, and added some fx to emphasise the slow breath, lapping of the water, and crunching of the feet. I then created a multiparts sample, assigning different sounds to keys. I added a bass synth gonging, like a march. Then played the sampler, record different layers of the field recording instrument over the track. I imagine this could be played live, in different combinations, emulating the sameness and difference to all the feet that tread the lake shore." Lake Baikal reimagined by Marg Laing. ——————— This sound is part of the Sonic Heritage project, exploring the sounds of the world's most famous sights.

Deep Calls To Deep

Uncover the richness of spiritual communion and the transformative power of encountering God in the depths of our souls. SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts:Your Daily Prayer: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Full Transcript Below: Welcome to The Crosswalk Devotional. We're glad to have you listening with us. Today's topic is how God's deep love washes over us with power. We'll return with the devotional after a brief message from our sponsors. "Deep calls to deep" written and read by Whitney Hopler. "Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls. All your waves and breakers have swept over me." Psalm 42:7 NIV  There's something deeply powerful about experiencing a waterfall. I hiked to several waterfalls recently in the waterfall capital of the world, the Hamilton Ontario Canada area where more than 100 waterfalls flow down the long Niagara Escarpment, on their way to the majestic Niagara Falls. Every single one of the waterfalls experienced overwhelmed me with the power and beauty of its fast moving water. As I watched the water flow, I thought of the powerful creator who designed our planet Sobell. Water flows abundantly through nature, just as God's love flows through our lives with overwhelming power. Near the end of my trip, I stood beside Niagara Falls, and let the incredible sound of its roar sweep over me. And then I thank God for that experience. The Bible uses the imagery of powerful moving water, waterfalls, waves and breakers. And Psalm 42:7 to describe the mighty power of God's presence with us. These overwhelming forces symbolizes God's overwhelmingly strong love that envelops us when we notice God's presence. The phrase Deep calls to deep at the beginning of this verse helps us visualize the deep connection between us and God. The depth of God's presence is so strong that it reaches the depth of our souls. Imagine standing beside a roaring waterfall. The site is mesmerizing. The sound is deafening. When you feel the incredible power of the water as it cascades down relentlessly. That's how God's love operates in our lives. It's a wild force that can't be tamed. God's loving presence sweeps over us with power, washing away our fears, our doubts and our sin. God's love is like living water. Just as water is vital for our physical health. God's love is essential for our spiritual health. God's living water is the constant refreshing presence of God, we need to survive and thrive. The pressures and demands of our lives can sometimes feel like relentless waves crashing over us, threatening to pull us under. during hard times. It's easy to feel helpless and alone, as if we're drowning in a sea of troubles. But the Libyan water of God's love is stronger than any challenges we face. God's living water cleanses and revives us. Imagine the refreshing sensation of cool water in a hot day, washing away dirt and sweat, leaving us feeling renewed and invigorated. That's what God's love does for our souls. God's love penetrates our defenses and reaches into the deepest parts of our being where our deepest fears and desires live. Because out to the depths within us that yearning for God, those hidden places where we carry our pain, our hopes and our dreams. God's love speaks to those depths, reassuring us that we aren't alone, and that we're deeply value. It gives us the strength to face our challenges, not by removing them, but by transforming us from within, giving us the strength we need to persevere. God's love is a constant powerful presence. Just like the steady flow of a mighty waterfall. It doesn't ebb and flow with the changing tides of our circumstances, but remains reliable and trustworthy.As we surrender to God's love, we aren't overcome by the weights. Instead, we're lifted above them by all as we experience God's wonder. That all helps us transcend our circumstances by directing our attention to God. We're cleansed of our burdens and fears and we're revived with purpose and peace. This deep love caused us to a deeper relationship with God, where we allow God's love to flow through every aspect of our lives. Whenever we enjoy waterfalls and waves and God's creation Let's remember that God's deep loving presence calls out to the depths of our souls, inviting us into powerful relationships with our Creator. Intersecting safe and life. As you consider how God's deep and powerful love washes over you, reflect on these questions. And what ways have you experienced God's love as a powerful, overwhelming force in your life? How does the imagery of waterfalls waves and breakers help you understand the depth and strength of God's love? What areas of your life feel dry or barren? And how can you invite God's living water to refresh those places? What new habit can you develop to help you allow more of God's love to flow through your life? What steps can you take to trust God's love more fully, especially in challenging situation? Further reading John 4:14. Isaiah 43:2 Psalm 46:4 Revelation 22:1 , Ezekiel 47:9.

Psalm 42 is a heartfelt expression of longing for God in the midst of distress. It is attributed to the sons of Korah and is part of the first book of the Psalms. This psalm is particularly noted for its vivid imagery and emotional depth.

Verses 6-7: Deep Calls to Deep •The psalmist acknowledges their soul's deep anguish, feeling overwhelmed by the turmoil. •They use the imagery of waterfalls and waves to describe their distress, emphasizing the overwhelming nature of their situation. Verses 8-10: Trust Amid Trials •Despite the distress, the psalmist declares their trust in God's steadfast love and anticipates praising Him with songs. •They continue to question God's seeming absence while facing the taunts and attacks of enemies. Verse 11: Refrain of Hope and Trust in God •The psalmist repeats the refrain, encouraging their soul to hope in God and expressing confidence in future praise.

This powerful description helps convey the intensity of their emotional and spiritual struggle. 5.Resilient Faith •Despite the depth of their anguish, the psalmist maintains a resilient faith, consistently turning their focus back to hope in God and the anticipation of future praise. Application •For Personal Reflection: •Consider times when you have felt a deep longing for God's presence. How can you nurture this longing in your daily life? •Reflect on the importance of recalling past experiences of God's faithfulness to strengthen your trust in difficult times. •For Encouragement: •The psalmist's dialogue with their soul can serve as a model for self-encouragement. How can you speak hope and truth to your own soul when facing despair? •For Worship: •The psalm emphasizes the significance of communal worship and joyful praise.

In this podcast Paul Keith discusses our election by God's foreknowledge and the seed of destiny that has been placed within us. The Lord is pouring water on that seed of destiny and we are longing for these deep things of the spirit at the end of the age in God‘s Omega time.

Matthew 7:7-12

In Psalm 42, the writer's critics see his distress and say "Where is your God?" I know you have felt like asking that question. This Psalm writer is looking for God in difficult circumstances as he says "as the deer pants for streams of water so my soul pants for You my God." Then there's that cryptic phrase "deep calls to deep." what does that mean?

'We are as close to God as we want to be. God has called us to go deeper in our relationship with Him. How can we go deeper in our walk of faith?

In this message, Phil continued our series Deep Calls to Deep with a focus on the ideas of attention and action. In the story of Jesus' birth, we notice that the people who were most ready for the coming of the Messiah were those who were actively looking for him. Their worship flowed from their attention. This can be the same for us today.

In this message, Phil presented his second lesson in the series Deep Calls to Deep. This message is entitled Sing Through, and he spoke about how music can carry us through the difficult times in our lives. Phil looked at the songs in the nativity story and showed how they help carry the characters through the twists and turns of the story. He also used the back story of one of the most famous Christmas songs to drive home the idea that we are called to Sing Through. 

In this message, Phil will started a new series called Deep Calls to Deep. In this series, Phil will explore the wondrous world of worship. In this first message he reflected on Jesus' famous statement to the Samaritan woman in John 4.

What does it mean that deep calls to deep? What is the meaning of Psalm 42:7?

An Answer to PrayerThree months and one kidney later, beloved Cedarville professor Dr. Chuck Elliott is feeling better than he has in years, all thanks to thousands of answered prayers and the selfless sacrifice of his brother-in-law, Jon Enright, pastor of Troy Christian Chapel in suburban Detroit, Michigan. This road to good health for Chuck has been a long one with its ups and downs.After years of misdiagnosed high blood pressure, Chuck was devastatingly diagnosed with kidney failure in May 2022. He quickly began dialysis to sustain his failing kidneys and this grueling process, which took nine hours every night, took a toll on his body.His doctors told him he had one choice – to find a kidney donor. They advised him to ask for willing donors, but anyone who knows Chuck knows that he is a humble and modest man – not about to ask someone for such a sacrifice. But his students felt differently. As part of a class assignment, a group of students started the social media campaign, Deep Calls for Life, through which they educated people about organ donation and campaigned for a kidney for Dr. Elliott. After almost a year of nightly dialysis, Chuck received word that Jon was a match to donate a kidney. For Jon, this was not a difficult decision. He even went to great lengths to meet donor requirements, including losing 30 pounds.After successful surgeries for both Chuck and Jon, Chuck is well on the road to recovery, feeling better than he has in years. Though not without its side-effects and immunity complications, this transplant has been life-changing for Chuck, and he is forever grateful for the support of his students, friends, and family.

Deep Calls for LifeGood health is not something to take for granted. Just ask Dr. Chuck Elliott, Senior Professor of Communication at Cedarville University. Throughout his life, he's been a model of good health. That was until he began experiencing severe headaches and uncontrollable high blood pressure while teaching in Hong Kong. Ultimately, the high blood pressure left significant damage to Chuck's kidneys, and two years ago, doctors noticed a significant change in his health. He was in the beginning stages of kidney failure. Just one year later in May 2022, Chuck's kidneys were in full-blown failure, causing him to need dialysis — nine hours every day. With the reality of needing a kidney to survive, Chuck was in a difficult position. How does a person go about getting a new kidney?  It's not like Chuck to share his situation with anyone, let alone ask someone if they would donate a kidney to him. This was an uncomfortable situation for someone who made his life as a communications professor. Well, several Cedarville University students were presented with class projects that could help Chuck in his quest of a new kidney.  Enter Deep Calls for Life, a project headed by a team of marketing and communication students. Their sole purpose was to create a social media campaign that would communicate Chuck's health crisis and his need of a kidney transplant — preferably from a live donor — for their beloved professor.  As part of a virtual communication class project, the students created a social media campaign intended to bring hope to the Cedarville professor, and, possibly someone who could provide the perfect kidney for Chuck.  ---------And now, several months later, Cedarville Stories Podcast is please to share good news about Chuck Elliott!Listen here to learn more about Chuck's story and the answer to many prayers on the Cedarville Stories Podcast.
