The ladies are back to discuss the Montreal shooter's hypergamy manifesto and Emrata's latest personal essay.

After producing a 1000+ hour theology library and writing over 5000+ pages of books, articles and answers to questions — I have come to a simple conclusion: God is sovereign. And when we employ this lens to each topic in theology we experience a marvelous realization, which is that all true doctrines lead us back to the sovereignty of God and are an extension of a sovereign view of God. The inverse is also true, because all error stems from denying God's sovereignty in some way. Therefore this book aims to be a companion on your walk with Christ, to help you walk as narrow and biblical of a way as possible so that your perspective on life and God are transformed forever. In it I share with you the most profound realizations from my years of intense study, connecting all seven major doctrines together into one consistent view which I hope will inspire you to marvel at God and rejoice at His soon return.

Dr. Mark Jobe talks with Wayne Shepherd about his tenure as President of Moody Bible Institute and his decision to follow God's call back to the church.  (click for more...) Website:  www.moodybible.org/news/2026/presidential-transition/Also:  www.moodyradio.org/bold-stepsDr. Jobe reflects on his seven years leading Moody, a role he didn't seek (it came as an unexpected call, and his wife encouraged him to pray about it) and accepted out of obedience rather than personal ambition. He describes balancing the full-time presidency with continuing to pastor New Life Community Church, a multi-site congregation with 25 locations and 44 services across Chicago plus 10 international sites, alongside a nonprofit serving at-risk youth. He calls the dual role a "beautiful marriage" that kept him connected to the city while leading the institute.He's now stepping down to return full-time to pastoring, church planting, and evangelism, calling it a deepening of his calling rather than a demotion. Much of the conversation covers his urban, multiethnic ministry in Chicago, the rise of "cultural Christians" and lapsed Catholics seeking faith again, strong recent growth in conversions and baptisms (over 1,100 people in 24 months), and his direct approach encouraging unmarried couples living together to marry. He closes by citing Proverbs 3:5-6, underlined in his father's Bible, as the scripture that has most guided his life and decisions.The interview ends noting Jobe will leave his Moody office at the end of the month, with listeners encouraged to pray for his successor as the institute's 11th president.       NEXT WEEK:  David McCullough on George Washington and 1776Send your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

For 18 June 2026, Thursday the 11th week in Ordinary Time, based on Matthew 6:7-15, sent in from Springfield, Illinois, USA.

In this episode of Tinfoil Tales, Brandon sits down with Ernie, who shares one of the most detailed and unsettling Sasquatch encounters ever discussed on the show. What began as a routine hunting trip in a remote mountain area turned into a face-to-face encounter with a massive, intelligent being unlike anything he had ever experienced.Ernie describes how he unknowingly walked into what appeared to be a coordinated hunting scenario involving multiple creatures. As the situation unfolded, he came within just a few feet of one of them—close enough to observe its physical features, behavior, and what he believes were intentional communication attempts through gestures and body language.Rather than acting aggressively, the being appeared curious and deliberate, using movements that Ernie later came to interpret as a form of communication. The encounter challenges common assumptions about these creatures, suggesting a level of intelligence, strategy, and awareness that goes far beyond what most people believe. The conversation also explores broader topics, including:The possibility of Sasquatch using coordinated hunting tacticsReports of vocalizations, whistling, and non-verbal communicationWhy many witnesses wait decades before coming forwardThe role of mindset and environment in close encountersThe idea that these beings may be far more human-like than expectedErnie also discusses the challenges of sharing experiences like this publicly, the skepticism surrounding the topic, and why so much potential evidence is dismissed or ignored. This is not just a story about seeing something in the woods. It's a detailed account of an encounter that raises serious questions about intelligence, communication, and what may still exist just outside our understanding.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tinfoil-tales--6147818/support. Want to be a Guest? If you have a paranormal encounter, conspiracy theory, or unexplained story to share, we'd love to hear from you!

Dr. David Zanotti, CEO and Chairman of The American Policy Roundtable and host of The Public Square, joins Wayne Shepherd in conversation about America's 250th.   (click for more...)  The conversation centers on a recently published book, An Oration, which Zanotti co-authored with political philosopher Dr. W.B. Allen. The book revisits an 1837 Fourth of July speech by John Quincy Adams — delivered at age 70, for 90 minutes without a microphone — in which Adams argued that American civil government was founded on biblical principles rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Zanotti describes Adams as the most credible eyewitness to the founding era, having personally known the Founding Fathers, served in every branch of government, and later spent 17 years in Congress advocating for the abolition of slavery.The interview also touches on how the book addresses modern debates around Christian nationalism, theocracy, and separation of church and state — using Adams' own words as the authoritative response. As a practical application, Zanotti encourages listeners to read the Declaration of Independence and engage in civic life as an expression of Christian faith. He concludes by announcing a groundbreaking ceremony for "Declaration Hall" — an education and media center to be built on the campus of the American Mission Center in Ohio — scheduled for July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.                                                  NEXT WEEK:  Mark Jobe Send your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

Dustin Garrett once found himself in a jail cell considering suicide when a grandmother's witness broke through and he cried out to Jesus. He tells his story to Wayne Shepherd.  (click for more...)         Dustin grew up in the Chicago suburbs in a broken, substance-abusing family, with his only Christian influence being his grandmother. By age 15 he was a full-blown heroin addict, eventually dropping out of school, cycling through theft, drug charges, and jail. At around age 20, while in the suicide ward of a jail going through heroin withdrawals, he cried out to Jesus — a faith rooted in his grandmother's persistent witness. After years of struggling without discipleship or community, his father gave him an ultimatum at age 22, leading Dustin to a two-year gospel-centered recovery program at a rescue mission in Peoria, Illinois. It was there — through men who opened the Bible with him and required him to memorize Scripture — that his life truly transformed. Against all odds, he went on to attend Bible college in Kansas City, and today, at 42, he has been walking with the Lord for about 20 years. He works in Christian healthcare ministry, serves as a worship leader at his church, and is a husband and father of two.                            NEXT WEEK:  Dave Zanotti of The Public SquareSend your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

Ben Olsen was a professional actor when God called him into a helps profession and now he serves as a leader of the Global Center for Coaching.  (click for more...) Website:  www.GlobalCenterforCoaching.orgBen Olsen shares how he grew up in a faith-filled home centered on community and participation, placed his faith in Christ at age 10, but drifted away during his teens. He pursued acting professionally for about 16 years — including six years in New York doing primarily Shakespeare — before a defining moment where he felt God calling him to make a clear choice. After returning to his faith, he found his theater background being redeemed when a Christian school invited him to teach theater.Over the following 25+ years, Ben worked in various "helps professions" — addictions recovery, wilderness therapy, and pastoral counseling — before enrolling at Western Seminary. There, a coaching class instantly clarified what he had been doing all along. He pivoted fully to coaching, eventually took over the seminary's coaching program, and has since spun it off as the independent Global Center for Coaching. The organization offers accredited online training for both those seeking a professional coaching credential and those who simply want to sharpen their relational skills. Ben emphasizes that, unlike counseling, coaching is forward-focused and treats the client as the expert of their own life, with the coach's role being to help people discover what God has already placed within them.                                              NEXT WEEK:  Dustin GarrettSend your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

Dr. Bill Thrasher joins Wayne Shepherd in conversation remembering those who have given their lives in the service of their country and thanking God for the sacrifice of Jesus on our behalf. (click for more...)Website:  www.VictoriousPraying.orgThis week's First Person is a Memorial Day weekend episode featuring host Wayne Shepherd in conversation with Dr. Bill Thrasher, a longtime professor at Moody Bible Institute. The discussion weaves together two themes: honoring military sacrifice on Memorial Day and reflecting on the sacrifice of Christ. Thrasher shares his personal faith journey — from a "cultural Christian" upbringing to his conversion at a 1965 Billy Graham crusade and deeper spiritual growth through a Campus Crusade-connected fraternity brother in college — and expresses gratitude for mentors who shaped him, including pastor Ben Haden, theologian Charles Ryrie, and radio preacher Stephen Olford. The theological heart of the conversation centers on Paul's charge to Timothy to "remember Jesus Christ," with Thrasher drawing on Oswald Chambers to caution against burying faith under busyness, and exploring the doctrines of propitiation and redemption as reasons for gratitude. The episode closes with Thrasher leading a prayer of thanksgiving for religious freedom, spiritual mentors, and the liberating work of Christ on the cross.               NEXT WEEK:  Ben Olsen of the Global Center for CoachingSend your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

Born in China and a computer engineer by training, Luke Cheng talks about his ministry with the Far East Broadcasting Company of using technology to reach people for Christ. (click for more...)Website:  www.FEBC.org/ChinaLuke Cheng is the Executive Director of Chinese Ministries at the Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC). Born in a small village in China as the youngest of six children, he grew up with no exposure to Christianity and dreamed of becoming a scientist. His faith journey began when he moved to Canada for graduate school and was invited to a Chinese student Bible study group — the first time he had ever met Christians.After becoming a believer, Luke prayed fervently for his family's salvation. Over the years, his sister, mother, and father all came to faith — his father just days before passing away, and his mother during a three-month visit to the United States.Luke met his wife Joy at that same Bible study group, where she was a seminary student leading the sessions. Both eventually studied at Dallas Theological Seminary, Joy for a Doctor of Ministry and Luke for a theology degree, after he spent nearly 10 years working as a software engineer at Microsoft and Amazon.Although Luke described himself as an introvert who feared public speaking and doubted how God could use him in ministry, he had made a private commitment to full-time ministry early in his Christian life — promising God that if his parents were saved, he would serve however called. That calling took about a decade to fully materialize before he left his tech career for FEBC.At FEBC, Luke sees technology as central to the mission. FEBC was founded in 1945 to reach Chinese people through radio, but has since shifted to internet, social media, and mobile platforms. He has embraced AI as a powerful new ministry tool — using it for content conversion, chatbot development, and app creation — and is now pursuing a second PhD at Cambridge University to explore the theological and ethical dimensions of AI in ministry.                                           NEXT WEEK:  Dr. Bill Thrasher Send your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

Jonathan Hallsted of Health Bridge Global talks with Wayne Shepherd about the ministry of healthcare as a bridge to the Gospel in closed countries and cultures. (click for more...)Website:  www.healthbridgeglobal.orgJonathan Hallsted is the founder and executive director of Health Bridge Global, a ministry that uses healthcare as a vehicle for sharing the gospel in closed nations, cultures, and communities. His path to this calling was anything but linear — he spent time in pastoral ministry, served seven years as a missionary in Eastern Europe, and built a 15-year career managing medical practices in California. During COVID, while walking a trail near his home, he felt a strong, undeniable sense that God was calling him to sell his house, leave his job, and commit full-time to a ministry he had been running part-time for a decade. After months of wrestling with fears about failure and finances, he finally said yes. Health Bridge Global now partners with indigenous Christian doctors in countries around the world to build financially self-sustaining, gospel-intentional healthcare clinics and projects — tailoring each one to the specific needs and context of the local community. Five years into his full-time commitment, the organization has completed or launched 13 projects in pursuit of a vision of 20 gospel-centered healthcare projects in 10 countries within 10 years. Jonathan describes the work as the hardest and best thing he has ever done.           NEXT WEEK:  Luke Cheng, Ex.

The new President of Joni and Friends, Shawn Thornton, joins Wayne Shepherd to discuss bringing Gospel hope to people with disabilities around the world. (click for more)Website:  joniandfriends.orgShawn Thornton shares the deeply personal story behind his memoir All But Normal: Life on Victory Road. His mother suffered a severe traumatic brain injury in a car accident at age 14, and without adequate therapy available in 1962, she spent the rest of her life struggling with physical limitations, emotional instability, and periodic institutionalization. Growing up in this environment of "private pain" gave Thornton a lifelong heart for disability ministry — though he kept his story private for many years, believing it didn't matter.The conversation reveals a remarkable full-circle moment: Joni Eareckson Tada had been a source of hope and strength for Thornton's mother throughout her struggles. When Thornton arrived at his new pastoral position in California, he discovered a welcome note on his desk signed by Joni and Ken Tada — completely unaware of his family connection. That encounter moved him to tears, and eventually led him to share his story publicly, first at a Joni and Friends donor event, and later in his book — encouraged by both Joni and author Max Lucado.Now one year into his role leading Joni and Friends, Thornton is energized by the organization's mission to equip and mobilize local churches worldwide to welcome people with disabilities. He notes that only about 10% of U.S. churches are fully accessible, and that embracing disability ministry tends to open a congregation's heart to other marginalized groups as well. He describes the "Wheels for the World" program, which restores used wheelchairs in U.S. prisons and ships them to remote communities in countries like Thailand and Ghana, where recipients also receive Bibles, the gospel message, and a connection to a local church — often breaking longstanding cultural superstitions about disability. The interview closes with Thornton expressing deep enthusiasm for his new calling.                      NEXT WEEK:  Jonathan Hallsted, Healthbridge Global Send your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

He was born and raise in Mongolia, became a Christian, and witnessed the birth of the church in his country. Batjargal Tuvshintsengel joins Wayne Shepherd in conversation. (click for more...)Website:  www.febc.org/where-we-work/mongolia/Born and raised in Mongolia under Soviet-era communist rule, Batjargal Tuvshintsengel first heard the gospel at age 20 through a British missionary who taught English using the Bible — a transformative moment that set him on a lifelong path of Christian ministry. He witnessed the remarkable birth of the church in Mongolia following the fall of communism, when the country suddenly opened to missionaries and the gospel for the first time in generations. Drawn to media from childhood, Batjargal channeled that background into ministry, helping launch Mongolia's first Christian FM radio station in Ulaanbaatar in 2001, which grew into a network of 17 stations reaching nomadic populations across the country via satellite. He credits this media ministry with supporting the growth of an estimated 650–700 churches and roughly 90,000 Christians in Mongolia. Now living back in Mongolia, Batjargal's vision for the future centers on equipping younger generations — particularly Gen Z — to become digital media evangelists, and on partnering media ministry with local churches to strengthen discipleship in an age increasingly shaped by AI and social media.              NEXT WEEK:  Shawn Thornton, President of Joni and FriendsSend your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

If you hide behind “we”… You're avoiding responsibility. And your clients can feel it. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why dropping the corporate disguise and leading in the first person is one of the fastest ways to build trust and authority. Because let's be real… People don't trust faceless brands. They trust leaders who take ownership. In this episode, you'll learn: Why corporate language destroys connection with your clients How using “I” instantly builds credibility and authority Why accountability is the foundation of trust in business How leading from the front elevates your standards and results Because real leaders don't hide behind policies… They step forward and say: “I'll fix it.” “I take responsibility.” “I stand behind this.” That's what builds loyalty. That's what builds reputation. That's what builds empires. The truth? The moment you stop sounding like a corporation… And start showing up like a human leader… Everything changes.

Despite holding vastly different worldviews, Chesterton maintained warm, civil friendships with contemporaries like George Bernard Shaw and HG Wells, and was admired by figures such as Teddy Roosevelt, who called him "a supreme genius" after a single dinner conversation.The interview also covers Chesterton's upbringing in a literary London household, his natural gift for language recognized early by teachers, and his rise from writing promotional copy at a publishing firm to becoming one of the most widely read and syndicated columnists of his era.                   NEXT WEEK:  Batjargal Tuvshintsengel of FEBC MongoliaSend your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

Sean Kerr, the motorcycle enthusiast of YouTube's Bike and Beards, invited Wayne Shepherd to his shop for a conversation about his life and testimony.  (click for more...) YouTube:  www.youtube.com/@BikesandBeardsAnother channel Sean has started about developing his TN property:YouTube:  www.youtube.com/@SeansFarmchannelSean Kerr — a Christian entrepreneur and motorcycle enthusiast best known for his YouTube channel, Bikes and Beards, has around 2.75 million subscribers. Sean grew up in the church, attended Toccoa Falls College intending to go into pastoral ministry, but eventually realized his calling was in business. He started the channel 10 years ago, and as his audience grew, he began including a Bible verse in every video as a way to share Scripture with hundreds of thousands of viewers. The interview touches on Sean's personal life — his wife Rachel, whom he met in college, and their four children — as well as his philosophy that family and faith bring greater motivation and joy than career success alone. A notable segment covers his friendship with neighbor Sergei Rakhuba, President of Mission Eurasia, which led to a cross-cultural connection with Jan, a man from Moldova who runs a ministry teaching orphaned youth to restore old Soviet-era Ural motorcycles. Through his YouTube channel, Sean helped raise $80,000 to build Jan a proper workshop and is now working to send professional tools to equip it. The interview closes with Sean reflecting that while he feels he's in the right place, he's still seeking a clear, God-given "big goal" for the next chapter of his life.NEXT WEEK:  Biographer Kevin Belmonte discusses GK ChestertonSend your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

A former Muslim, Abdu Murray, talks with Wayne Shepherd about his conversion to Christianity and the importance of the bodily resurrection of Christ. (click for more...)Website:  www.embracethetruth.orgYouTube:  www.youtube.com/@AbduMurrayOfficialBackground & Early Life as a Muslim ApologistAbdu Murray grew up in a devout Shiite Muslim home in the metro Detroit area. Far from being a nominal believer, he took his faith seriously and actively challenged Christians and people of other faiths, pressing them to articulate why they believed what they did. He found that most Christians he encountered couldn't explain their faith beyond tradition or habit, and he used this to try to draw them toward Islam.A Turning Point in the BibleIronically, while attempting to find contradictions in the Bible to use against two Baptist men who kept visiting his apartment, Abdu stumbled upon John the Baptist's words in Luke 3 — warning people not to rely on tradition or lineage for salvation. The passage struck him because it echoed the very argument he had been making to Christians, and it forced him to ask himself the same question: why did he believe what he believed?Nine Years of SearchingThat encounter launched a years-long intellectual and spiritual journey. It took Abdu two years of studying the historical, philosophical, and theological foundations of various worldviews to reach the intellectual conclusion that Christianity was true. However, he wrestled with actually accepting that conclusion for seven more years, held back by the personal, cultural, and familial cost of leaving Islam — as well as the deep identity he had wrapped up in being Muslim.The Resurrection as the Pivotal IssueThe bodily resurrection of Jesus became the crux of his investigation. The Quran explicitly denies the crucifixion and resurrection, making it a direct point of collision between Islam and Christianity. Abdu researched the historical evidence extensively — including the accounts of eyewitnesses, early church figures like Polycarp and Clement of Rome, and the conversion of the skeptic Paul — and found the case increasingly compelling and uncomfortable to deny.Legal Training and Coming to FaithHis legal education proved formative in evaluating the evidence, teaching him to assess argumentation and distinguish credible evidence from superficially convincing claims. He became a Christian shortly after finishing law school, concluding that the eyewitness testimony in the New Testament would stand up to scrutiny in a court of law.Advice on Apologetics and FaithAbdu now runs a ministry called Embrace the Truth and encourages Christians to ask themselves daily why they believe. He argues that apologetics isn't just academic debate, but a tool for deepening one's own discipleship — likening it to a trained musician who experiences a symphony far more richly than a casual listener. He closes with the conviction that because of what Christ has done in history, believers can trust what God will do in their lives.Send your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

Joe and Cindi Ferrini, the couple behind the book The Special Needs Parent, join Wayne Shepherd to talk about the calling they never expected.  (click for more...) Website:  www.moodypublishers.com/the-special-needs-parentContact website:  www.cindiferrini.comDr. Joe and Cindi Ferrini are the parents of Joey, a 44-year-old son with a rare syndrome causing cerebral palsy, mental retardation, and epilepsy, requiring round-the-clock care his entire life. Despite this never being part of their life plan, the couple — Joe a retired dentist — have built their lives around caring for Joey while also raising two daughters and maintaining an active ministry. Their central message, captured in their book The Special Needs Parent: A Guide to the Life You Never Expected, is to "Embrace the Place" — accepting and committing to the life God has given you rather than resenting it. Both Joe and Cindi candidly share that this acceptance didn't come instantly; Joe in particular struggled before reaching a turning point where he chose faith over bitterness. They also speak to the broader landscape of special needs families, noting the rising prevalence of diagnoses and the importance of churches stepping up to support not just the children but the parents as well. Grounded in scripture — including Psalm 139 and Philippians 4:19 — their story is one of hard-won peace, purpose, and the conviction that their son was no accident but a calling.                                 Next Week:  Abdu Murray, Easter testimonySend your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

Matt Davis specializes in helping people and organizations through leadership challenges and ministry transitions. He's Wayne Shepherd's guest on this week's FIRST PERSON.  (click for more...)     Website:  www.ministrytransitions.comIn this episode of First Person, host Wayne Shepherd interviews Matt Davis, President and Chief Pastoral Officer of Ministry Transitions, an organization that helps churches, nonprofits, faith-based companies, and individuals navigate leadership changes. Matt speaks candidly about his own story — after spending decades as an executive and teaching pastor, he experienced a moral failure that ended his ministry career, causing significant pain to his family, colleagues, and congregation. Through years of counseling, restoration, and personal rebuilding, he co-founded Ministry Transitions with Bill Tom to fill a gap he experienced firsthand: the lack of structured support for ministry leaders in transition. The organization works with boards and individuals through three types of transitions — open, hidden, and blind — emphasizing dignity, grace, and honest communication throughout the process. Matt stresses that churches and organizations need to build a "culture of continuity" from day one, framing succession planning as a discipleship issue rather than a crisis response. He also hosts a podcast called Life After Ministry, which chronicles stories of people rebuilding their lives after vocational ministry ends, with the goal of reaching leaders before they hit rock bottom rather than after.           Next week:  Joe and Cindi Ferrini, The Special Needs ParentSend your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

Master calligrapher Tim Botts is Wayne Shepherd's guest, talking about his approach to the creation of his art and the inspiration he finds in God's Word.  (Click for more...)Website:  www.TimBottscalligraphy.comThis week we feature Christian artist and master calligrapher Timothy Botts, who has spent decades expressing Scripture through colorful calligraphy and visual art. Botts explains how his work is deeply inspired by the words of the Bible, combining his training in graphic design with his love for God's Word to visually communicate its meaning rather than simply decorate it. Influenced by music, early encouragement from teachers, and artistic exposure during missionary work in Japan, he developed a distinctive style that brings together art, worship, and communication. Botts also reflects on the role of visual art in the church, encouraging congregations to value and support artists as part of gospel ministry. Through initiatives such as the Masterpiece Arts Camp, he mentors young creatives, helping them discover how their artistic gifts can honor Christ and impact others. Ultimately, Botts sees his work as a form of meditation on Scripture—creating “word pictures” that allow the message of the Bible to move from the page to the heart.                               NEXT WEEK:  Matt Davis, Ministry TransitionsSend your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

Christian Comedian Phil Callaway joins Wayne Shepherd for a conversation about his life and calling to a ministry of comedy. (click for more....)Website:  www.PhilCallaway.comThe interview features Christian comedian, author, and speaker Phil Callaway sharing how God used humor and life experiences to shape his ministry. Callaway recounts how his faith was deeply influenced by his parents' authentic Christianity and by teachers who encouraged his communication gifts. Beginning in 1990 by writing humorous articles about family life, he was soon invited to write books—eventually authoring more than two dozen—and later expanded into speaking, radio, and conference ministry. Despite early fears of public speaking, he sensed God calling him to use humor to inspire hope, both in Christian settings and in secular audiences such as teachers and medical professionals. Callaway also reflects on personal trials in his family, including the threat of Huntington's disease, which reinforced the importance of offering hope through laughter and faith. Throughout the conversation he emphasizes gratitude, perseverance, and the idea that God often works through ordinary people who simply offer their gifts in service to others.                                     Next Week:  Calligrapher Tim BottsSend your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

Rachel Smith is an OB-GYN, lifelong mountain-lover, and person with type 1 diabetes who set out to summit Mount Vinson, Antarctica's tallest peak, in some of the harshest conditions on the planet. After climbs like Kilimanjaro and Aconcagua, she realized the biggest curiosity was not just the summit itself, but the diabetes strategy behind it: insulin safety, altitude, tech failures, and what it takes to navigate unpredictable blood sugars when you are far from help.In this episode, Rachel takes us into a 13-day Antarctica expedition (8 days on the mountain), where the sun never sets, the cold hits -50°C, and even treating a low can become complicated. You will hear what surprised her most, what she would do differently next time, and the message she wants every person with diabetes to carry with them: progress over perfection, and your goals do not have to shrink because you have T1D.WHAT WE COVER:Why Rachel chose Mount Vinson and why she decided to share the diabetes side publicly this timeThe realities of climbing in Antarctica: 24-hour daylight, extreme cold, and carrying everything yourselfManaging T1D on Kilimanjaro (manual testing) vs. Aconcagua and Vinson (pump + CGM)What happens when diabetes tech fails at altitude and in the cold (pump alarms, sensors cutting out)How Rachel kept insulin from freezing and built in backups (including guide support)Fueling strategy on long climb days: lower-carb mornings, steady carbs during breaks, and why it matteredSafety conversations with guides: how hypoglycemia symptoms can mimic altitude sicknessKEY TAKEAWAYS:1️⃣ Your plan needs redundancy. Remote climbs demand extra supplies, backup delivery methods, and contingency plans for freezing, loss, and tech failure.2️⃣ The environment changes everything. Altitude, cold, disrupted routine, stress hormones, and long-duration exertion can make blood sugars feel unlike your norm. That is not failure, it is data.3️⃣ Zoom out to rebuild trust. Rachel's CGM graphs looked more stable in hindsight than they felt in the moment, which is a reminder not to let one chaotic window define your confidence.WHAT'S NEXT:
