Rescuers radio show

Inseong Kim is a woman with many talents and many passions, but they all focus on changing lives for Christ.

Born in Seoul, she came to the U.S. at 23, and earned a B.S. in actuarial science from The Ohio State University, and recently completed the Harvard Executive Business Analytics program.

Her heart though, is rooted in her faith. She is working toward a degree in Biblical and Theological Studies from Phoenix Seminary. She offers hope and encouragement to those who are hurting, whether it is parents who have lived through abortion of a child, people who struggle with their cultural identity, or women who need to believe in and value themselves.

Inseong is the author of three books, a radio host, and an accomplished oil painter.

Marc Lucas has made a career as a pastor and a speaker. Over the past 20 years he has listened to men share about their needs and challenges, and helped them to find solutions and peace. Ultimately he realized his true calling was as a faith-based mentor and coach for families.

In a culture that demands we conform, perform, be cut-throat competitive, strive to “pull ourselves up by our bootstraps,” and be dependent solely on our own strength, Marc is committed to breaking men free from anything that holds them back from happiness. Like many, he himself has overcome anger issues, addiction, anxiety and many other struggles in his effort to become the best father and husband he could be.

Sarah Levin has always felt called both to serve others, and to work in the medical field. It’s been her dream to combine both, and she’s been able to do that in her 18-year career at the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

He’s been called one of the best athletes to ever play the game of football. But J.D. Hill’s greatest accomplishments were still before him.

J.D. excelled not just in football, but also lettered in baseball and track in college, an NCAA record that still stands today. He was drafted by the Buffalo Bills and also played for the Detroit Lions.

But after his pro career came years of personal struggle and addiction to crack cocaine that led to loss of his three sons and wife of 20 years. That could have been the tragic end of his story.

But it wasn’t. He found his way back to faith, restored relationships and a purpose for living in helping change and save the lives of others. Today he shares his story of redemption and how God helped change his life from a mess into a ministry.

J.D.'s ministry is Catch the Vision, and you're invited to check out his book, Go Long - With a Little Help from my Friends: The Story of JD Hill.
