Before Ashlee’s mom died of cancer, she made her promise two things: always remember you were meant for more and always have faith. But she wound up living with a victim mindset surviving on a day-to-day basis for years.

Then one day with the checkbook showing a negative $54 balance something broke inside. She started crying and fell on her knees in prayer saying, “I know I’ve been gone but I’m here now. What do I do? Because I can’t live this way anymore.” In that moment of desperation God gave her an answer that would turn into a business and result in her speaking truth into the lives of thousands of people.

During the six years it took to create the powerful documentary, SEND PROOF, Elijah Stephens had to repeatedly ask himself this question: "On my deathbed, do I want my story to be that I knew I was called to do this thing, it got hard and I stopped, or that I persevered and finished, despite the setbacks and challenges?"

In this episode, Elijah shares his experiences of working through PTSD, overcoming fear, the differences between intellectual and emotional belief, and the importance of growing in faith through small, daily acts of obedience; all of which helped him complete a monumental documentary which is impacting lives all over the world.

Allen woke up one morning and his voice was gone. Literally, it was just a whisper. The challenge is that he uses his voice all the time speaking at seminars, teaching, and co-hosting a world-renowned podcast. Two days before surgery, while mowing the grass, God asks, “Allen, do you want Story 1 or Story 2?” Having no idea what that meant, he sat down and started asking the Lord for understanding. Then, he chose to enter into a story that would change his life and become the motivation behind his brand new book.

Donna says, “There are no impossible questions, challenges, or problems. God has the answers, solutions, and strategies for everything.” This is based upon Jeremiah 33:3, “Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” So, instead of rushing into prayer she’s learned to pause and ask God HOW to pray for a particular person or situation. The difference has been remarkable.
