  • The Power of Forgiveness

    The Power of Forgiveness
    Apr 25 2024
    When Jesus was dying on the cross, he prayed one of the most powerful prayers recorded in human history. He said “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” But, how do you forgive someone when they know what they are doing. Today on the podcast Joe Amaral speaks with Orlando Bowen who shares his story as a new immigrant from Jamaica, to his time as a football player in the CFL. He goes on to share on very scary night when he was approached by two armed men, beaten, resulting in his football career coming to an end, discovering those who harmed him were some of the people he had mentored, and the road he took to forgiveness.

  • Grief is a Journey

    Grief is a Journey
    Apr 17 2024
    Often we are afraid to touch on the topic of grief with someone facing it, or even giving ourselves time to face it. Worried to say the wrong thing, or not say enough, worried to upset the person even more, worried that we won't be able to hold ourselves together, or that we are grieving in the "wrong way". Today on the podcast prolific author and speaker and former Grief Counsellor, Dr. Bill Webster joins us to share from his book, "Grief: The Unwelcome Journey". He shares about what it means to grieve, the normality of journeying through grief, how we all grieve differently and at different times, the position of guilt when it comes to grief, and the reality that you never truly get over grief but through it.

    Journey to the Cross
    Feb 22 2024

    Joe Amaral joins us for the first time on the podcast to dive into the connection between Passover and Easter. Although many may wonder why these two events should hold the same space, one being a Jewish holiday and one being a Christian holiday. Joe delves into the fact that many forget about the deep and enduring connection that Christianity and first temple Judaism have. He shares some history and background to help us understand the connection deeper.

  • Finding Peace in the Face of War

    Finding Peace in the Face of War
    Feb 21 2024

    How can someone find peace when faced with great turmoil, in the midst of war?

    Today on the podcast we bring you inspiring stories from Ukraine.

    Natasha was in Ukraine when Russia attacked in February of 2022. As a person with a disability, she could not flee on her own, she quickly connected with an aid organization she knew from her days as a child in an orphanage through a ministry called “Loads of Love”. Through this organization not only did Natasha find peace and a way out of her war-torn country but also her purpose in life through art. She shares more of her miracle story and how she discovered the peace that could only come from a relationship with God.

    We also bring you the story of Olga who had to flee her home country and went to Ukraine only to have to flee again when the war broke out. She stayed in the Ukraine during the war with nothing but prayer to keep her safe until she made the difficult decision to leave. The journey to Canada was anything but easy but she shares with us her story of finding hope and peace.

  • Love in the Face of Depression

    Love in the Face of Depression
    Feb 14 2024

    "What does it mean to face depression while living out God's calling on your life. Would your friends and family stand by your side?


    Mark and Janet were born and raised in the United Kingdom. While living in the UK, Mark served as a police officer for five years followed by seven years as a pastor.


    In 2005, in response to a call to pastor a church in Niagara Falls, Mark, his wife Janet, and their five children emigrated to Canada.


    Pastoring the church resulted in some good years of seeing growth and restoration within the church; however, Mark began to struggle with a severe medicine-resistant depression. Though he battled, the struggle became overwhelming and Mark was admitted to hospital for medical help. This resulted in a difficult, but necessary decision to step down from his role as pastor.


    Unable to function well in any area of employment over these years, Mark describes this time where he felt like he walked into hell and could not find a way out. Throughout it all, his wife, supportive friends and family, and a variety of health professionals provided much-needed support and prayer.


    Mark and Janet share with Mark Masri on the podcast today about this season of their marriage and how this time allowed them, Janet in particular, to live out their marriage vows in a powerful way.

  • Becoming yourself in Christ

    Becoming yourself in Christ
    Nov 22 2023
    We live in a culture that tells us money, fame, and success won’t only make us worthy but make us feel worthy. Today on the podcast Ken Shigematsu joins us to share from his book, “Now I Become Myself” and shares why that is farthest from the truth. Ken shares how we all face the fear of not being enough, how shame can be both good and bad in our lives, the false sense of self we at times all face and how a relationship with Jesus is the only way that can help us define who we truly are. He will help us let go of the shame and find the peace that can only come from being in God’s presence to become who we were before the world told us who we had to be.
