It began with a conversation by a patient’s bedside. It led to the writing of a book. But more than anything, it led her to see death not as a cold ending, but as a sacred passage.

Unfolding Short Stories: "It will be a good death." Dr. Pamela Pyle Shares End-of-Life experiences 

<a href= "https://www.meganwoodsofficial.com/">Megan Woods</a> grew up in church but drifted away from faith during her teens.  In high school, she experienced bullying, heartache, and a constant struggle with self-worth. It seemed she was never good enough.  But in the lowest moment of her life, God began to show her the truth about who He is and His love for Megan.  Out of that experience, Megan wrote a song called The Truth.  Released in 2024, the song made Megan Woods the biggest debut artist in Contemporary Christian Music that year.  It reached #1 on the Christian charts in the U.S. as well as on iTunes in 38 countries.      Megan Woods on Instagram:   <a class= "Hyperlink SCXW151517154 BCX0" href= "https://www.instagram.com/meganwoodsmusic/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.instagram.com/meganwoodsmusic/?hl=en</a>

"Football was my god. It told me who I was, how good I was, and what I was going to do."  Derwin Gray was a leader on the Indianapolis Colts. A hard-hitting defensive star with NFL money, a promising career, and a wife to share it all with. By every measure, he was a success. But inside, Derwin was still a boy without a role model, shaped by his father’s absence and striving to prove he was worth something. He thought building a strong resume was the answer. Then, in the most unexpected way, God met him—in the locker room—through a teammate wrapped in nothing but a towel. What followed would change everything.  Hear the full interview <a href= "https://www.myfaithpodcasts.com/podcasts/manly-with-andy/episode-113-how-to-actually-share-jesus-w-others-derwin-gray/"> here</a> on the Manly with Andy Podcast: <a href= "https://www.myfaithpodcasts.com/podcasts/manly-with-andy/episode-113-how-to-actually-share-jesus-w-others-derwin-gray/">https://www.myfaithpodcasts.com/podcasts/manly-with-andy/episode-113-how-to-actually-share-jesus-w-others-derwin-gray/</a>

In 2022, Ben Fuller was a singer and songwriter just beginning his career in Christian music.  His song “Who I Am” has been played on stations around the country.  He grew up on a dairy farm in Vermont as a well-liked kid who seemed to have it all together.  But he always struggled to earn his father’s approval.  On the inside he felt an emptiness that left Ben searching for something to fill the hole.  He tried relationships, alcohol, cocaine, even “making it” in country music.  With each new thing, he was left asking himself, “Is this it?  Is THIS what life is all about?”
