At times, we all wonder what God is up to in our lives. He attempts to show us and somehow we can't see what it is He wants us to see. When we keep our hearts open to His leading, we can be led and it will change our lives. On today's program, we will hear how God moved, through a life of abundance, a young man who had lost his way from the path that God laid out for him. Then one day, God gave him vision; not for his own benefit but for those with a much bigger need for their families. Now years later, he has made a big difference in the lives of so many families and has been blessed in return. Listen closely as our host, Dean Hulce, brings out the story of a calling that not only changed the life of the one being called, but also of hundreds of others along the way. Let's join Dean on the trail to adventure in the woods and swamps of a gulf coast state.

Betrayal. Gaslighting. Things not being what they seem. These are themes in the movie “It Ends With Us,” but they could also describe the dramatic and seemingly constantly escalating conflict between actor and fashionista Blake Lively and her co-star and director Justin Baldoni.

Backstreet Boys. Nsync. It's hard to overstate how larger than life these groups were in the late ‘90s and ‘00s.

Writer and podcaster Dave Holmes @daveholmes  of the Homophilia, Who Killed the Video Star, and Waiting for Impact podcasts joins journalist and pop culture junkie Tess Barker for a dive into this strange and shocking story.    Looking for video docs about Lou Pearlman?
