"Souls adrift in separate seas experience same rescue.”
Joe Kissack, author of The Fourth Fisherman, discusses how growing up in a performance-based environment conditions people to believe their value is based on their performance. Driven by a strong work ethic, Joe became very successful. He was an executive vice president who drove a sports car and lived in a big house with a nice family. However, material success did not bring satisfaction and Joe was very discontent with his life. Joe couldn’t understand why he wasn’t satisfied when he had “everything.” To cope with his deep emptiness he abused alcohol and eventually reached a point of wanting to take his life.
The night before checking himself into a mental hospital, a friend talked to him about Jesus. Joe accepted Christ as his Lord and savior. He discovered a new sense of peace and joy. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit moves people away from darkness and toward light. If you are struggling with life issues, marital issues, financial issues, or any difficult moment in your life, this is a message of encouragement you need to hear. Circumstances change but God never changes. Purchase Joe's book "The Fourth Fisherman" >>

You'll hear about how peace & forgiveness are "alien concepts" in an Islamic culture, the rise of Muslim immigrants assimilating into American culture, and their desire to convert America to Islam.

In this podcast, Jason is hanging out with Jeremy Willet of the band Willet. They talk about their new EP, "Love on the Outside" (produced by Aaron Gillespie) and you'll hear the story behind a couple of the songs, "You Are Not Just Holy" & "Disaster," inspired by recent events in Africa & Haiti, respectively.
Later in the podcast, Jeremy talks about The Hunger Strike, a ministry founded by the band and an official partner of Christian relief and development organization, Food for the Hungry. The Hunger Strike exists to bring the love of Jesus Christ to those living in domestic and international poverty through advocacy, community development, short and long-term missionary support, youth programs, pastoral training, evangelism, and disaster relief. Be encouraged by Jeremy's passion to not only use our voices to worship God, but also our hands & feet.
"I was struggling with the fact that I had to go back on tour and I had to "lead worship" and I didn't see how we were really worshipping God if we were just singing about how great He was, but weren't actually responding to the needs that He asked us to respond to."
