Have you ever thought, “I want to get better at sharing my faith, but I don't know where to start”? Then this episode is for you! In our new book, “Joyful Outsiders,” we break down six ways that Christians can change culture (without being changed by culture). On today's episode, we're focusing on ambassadors, those who find great joy in sharing the gospel with people who are far from God and seeing them come to faith in Jesus. Joining us to provide such an example is our friend, Patrick Cox. Patrick is the Chief Production Officer at Veterans United Home Loans in Columbia, Missouri. Today, Patrick shares some practical evangelism tips learned through years of sharing his faith through “Faith and Doubt” discussion groups at work. He explains the motivation behind his drive for evangelism, whether or not he ever feels intimidated by the process, and how he addresses people's most intense questions and skepticisms. Plus, what are the most common doubts he encounters? Has he noticed a current shift in the public's opinion on Christianity? How should Christians approach those who have experienced church hurt? Patrick ends by providing some practical guidelines for more effectively sharing your faith. Listen now! Are you an ambassador? Or maybe you're an advisor, trainer, artist, builder, or protester?

Do you ever find yourself afraid of going through with a spiritual integration plan because you're not sure how it will be perceived?It's okay if you do. When you look at the state of the world today, there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical. On the surface, it seems that Christians are forced to be less vocal about their faith in the marketplace, and in many ways, that may be true.But today's guest, Brock Bukowsky shows that it is possible to bring your faith to work and to help others to do the same.Brock is the co-founder of Veterans United Home Loans, which specializes in helping veterans and service members obtain a home loan by taking advantage of benefits they have earned. Today, the company has over 3,000 employees, yet Brock has still managed to find ways to care for the spiritual lives of each of them, regardless of their religious background.He joins the show today to talk about the practical ways organizational leaders can implement these structures in their own businesses and share some of his own powerful story. Like this episode?

Not many people are lucky enough to experience true love once in their lifetime - never mind twice! A Nevada couple has been given a second chance at love - over 50 years later, and they are not taking a moment for granted. The adorable couple was interviewed by People Magazine. Dennis and Diane Reynolds shared that they never expected to remarry when they connected in July 2019, nearly 55 years after divorce. In February 2020, that stance changed as the pair rekindled a strong flame first felt in their teenage years. The couple tied the knot again in November last year and now the couple are focused on their next chapter. Vietnam War Veteran Dennis, with the help of Veterans United Home Loans, is set to build his wife's dream home in Las Vegas. How cute! So, when did this love story begin? It began at Sun Valley Junior High in Los Angeles, the two were just 13. Though they went on to attend different high schools, that didn't stop the duo from pursuing a romance. At age 15, their relationship became official. Five months after their courtship and finishing off high school, they got a married. Not long after that the couple welcomed two boys. Like most marriages, their relationship was not without problems. High School sweethearts who divorced in 1965 remarry 55 years later!
