Amy's parents created the highly acclaimed Sonlight homeschool curriculum and, for over 30 years they've had paid staff who prayed for every facet of their business, from customers to vendors. But it wasn't until they hired an intercessor (yes, a paid intercessor) that they saw their business explode. The results were so remarkable that Amy collaborated with the intercessor they hired and co-founded Workplace Prayer. Whether this strikes you as "odd" or not, you owe it to yourself to hear her story. Bottom line: prayer works.

Chad Hedrick is the winner of 5 Olympic medals in speed skating from 2006 to 2010 and a total of 52 World Champion inline skating titles from 1994 to 2002.
However, it was in the 2006 Olympics Chad experienced a moment that deeply affected him. Standing at the podium in Torino, Italy to receive his gold medal, there was a tremendous sense of accomplishment, but there was also this intense feeling of emptiness inside. It was shortly thereafter he realized his life lacked purpose outside of the arena. He defined himself by how fast he could skate around a track. Skating was literally all that mattered. In 2009, Chad was compelled to search for more meaning in his life and in this episode he shares his very personal experience about what happened in that search.

Since Steve was a child, he dreamed of making a huge impact on the world. Then, in his 40's after serious complications from spine surgery, and losing 45 pounds in just six weeks, he was back in the hospital. During this time, he began to seriously examine his life. What impact had he really made? If given a second chance, what would he do? These questions coupled with a book he began to read exploded into a commitment to completely give God what he had in his hands - 22 years of design engineering experience - and go all-in on his faith. What happened after that is a Real Faith Story.
