“Consistently it’s been God’s care and concern in my life, it’s been the care and concern He’s communicated to me through His Word, but then also the care and concern from other believers that has helped me get to where I am, which is living a completely different life than I would have been living. And praise God for that.”

“That’s what living fearlessly is to me, it’s trusting in God and His ability and His willingness above the situation I’m facing. It’s knowing in my heart and believing in my heart that God’s got me—that He’s going to take care of me, my family—because I’m His child and He’s made promises.”
What does it mean practically, according to God’s Word, to live fearlessly? In this episode, Sierra Bergman interviews Rev. and Mrs. Eddie McInnis (Eddie and Janelle), who coordinate The Way Corps training program at The Way International Headquarters, to gain insight into this topic. God’s Word is full of encouragement for us to live without fear, so it’s available! Listen in to this inspiring episode to learn more about how we can achieve this fearless lifestyle.

“Prayer means everything to me—prayer with my understanding to God, my Father, prayer to God by speaking in tongues....Prayer is an aid, or a help, to me in difficult situations....A concept I love that goes with a full prayer life is casting all your care upon Him [God].”

“Fear of the unknown can keep people from making the change that they really need to make, and we can become prisoners to our own insecurities....Change can be exciting. And we can embrace it and enlarge our comfort zones. Every time we do, we become more confident and mentally stronger to face anything in life.”
In this illuminating episode, Steele Bergman sits down with Rev. Vern Edwards, the President of The Way International, to discuss how the unknown can be intimidating or can stir up anxiety or fear. They explore why that is and what you can do to overcome this fear. Rev. Edwards shares from his own life how we as Christians can trust in God, rely on His guidance, and pursue peace even if the way forward seems unclear.

“There’s a correlation with looking on the things of others, humbling yourself, not making it all about you, and God working in you to will and to do of His good pleasure, because He wants to take care of the people around you, too! And you can be that person that gets to do that. That’s what really makes life exciting, and that’s what really got me excited about becoming a leader, was seeing God work in me to help other people.”
Taylor Thurlow interviews Nic Sullwold in this episode, and they talk all things leadership, with a special focus on young leaders rising up to this privilege and responsibility. Nic is a young Way Corps minister with The Way International. He shares how he chose to step into ministry as a form of servant leadership, what that journey was like for him, and the qualities good leaders should value according to God’s Word. Placing emphasis on humility, service, and looking on the things of others, Nic gives a beautiful picture of what a leader can be for God’s people.
