On this episode of ‘Everyone Has a Voice,’ 🎧🎙️

Maggie opens up about her very dysfunctional childhood that led to a destructive lifestyle of drug addiction, sexual immorality, relationship addiction, and co-dependence. But God. Maggie is now a Biblical Coach & Counselor and Co-founder of Moving Forward Ministries.

Tune in tomorrow at 5 AM to hear her incredible story! Maggie is one of our amazing guests on LIT86, coming this Fall to CTN! 🔥

Sometimes our choices us leave us at a point where we feel all is lost. I’ve been there. You can choose to be a victim or a victor.

I challenge you to choose a victor’s attitude. Pivot. When all is lost, everything is gain. Look at what you have learned in the losing. Choose to do better. Make your one bad season equal a lifetime of good ones. God uses messy people. Not perfect people.

You too could be one different choice away from a better tomorrow!

Rodrick Butler, Cancer Conqueror & Financial Planner!

Rodrick shares the aggressive, daily strategy he adopted after receiving his cancer diagnosis.

His story is a powerful reminder that fear doesn’t have to control you. Learn how to face fear head-on and live with determination and faith.

Don’t miss this as we lead up to the release of LIT86!

Addiction is a powerful force, but with faith, determination, and the right steps, breaking free is possible.

Acknowledge your struggles, seek God’s help, replace old habits with new ones, and be mindful of your weaknesses—don’t put yourself in situations where you could be tempted.

Surround yourself with a supportive community and remember that no matter how strong the chains, God’s love is stronger.

Filming 🎥 is Complete! 🙌🏻

The faith based TV 📺 show ‘Small Town Testimonies’ has been in the works since 2021. When Monica Schmelter of Christian Television Network shared the need for youth programs on CTN, the Team at Choose Different Media felt God nudging us to take action.

We partnered with CTN, and created a TV show contest called ‘The Shakedown’. Our winner was clear - Blain Poynor, a 14 year old (at the time) from Eagleville TN with a HUGE heart for God. Blain felt called to reach millions, and He will do just that this Fall when his show ‘Small Town Testimonies’ comes to CTN Nashville - WHTN

CTN is a broadcast channel that is in over 50 million living rooms! I could not be more proud of Blain for his boldness in his faith, for his courage and hard work in filming the show.

He has done an excellent job as our talent & host. Not many understand all that goes into a Production like this. It takes a Team.

Special thanks to CTN for your partnership in producing and directing this project. And special thanks to Amber & Phillip Poynor for raising such an amazing young man. We are excited to see everything that God will do through this show!

It is our hope that Blain will inspire many more youth to get involved in God honoring media. It’s time for us as Believers to stop accepting the current media climate and make a stand for shows that honor God and are family friendly.

We can all choose to get off the couch like Blain and do something to support faith based TV. We need prayer warriors. We need monthly sponsors. We need talent and Christian creatives. If Blain, a small town teen, can do it - we all can do our part!

I had an amazing time on “Everyone Has a Voice” with our incredible guests, Blain and Amber Poynor!

We talked about how Blain felt a calling to reach millions of people through “Small Town Testimonies” and how his parents’ support made his dream a reality.

I wanted to share some ways we as parents could support our children to become everything God has for them!

Teaching our kids about people with differences can be challenging.

Especially because kids will often just say whatever is on their mind, even if they don't mean anything bad by it.

I was able to talk with Author, Bethany Van Meter and learn how she teaches kids how to be around people (or animals) who are different from them.

This week on Everyone Has A Voice, we talk with Bethany Van Meter and River, The Blind Pit Bull!

River has inspired his owner and proud Mama, Bethany Van Meter, to author a series of children’s books around River’s life. The first book is titled, ‘I See With My Heart’ - A true story about a dog with no eyes. Bethany and her husband rescued River from the Dallas Animal Shelter, and River now enjoys teaching kids empowering lessons of loving those who are different from them.

“It’s my goal to plant those seeds of goodness in young kids to know that… ‘I can help somebody, and I have worth and value’ ” - Bethany Van Meter

I’ve discovered that our pain has a purpose, and through faith, we can find greater meaning beyond our struggles. Pain has taught me valuable lessons and led to personal growth.

By seeking God’s guidance, I’ve learned to transform my pain into a purpose that benefits both myself and others.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 reminds us that God comforts us in our troubles so we can comfort others. Trust in God’s plans, and let your pain be a stepping stone to discovering the purpose He has for you.

With faith, determination, and reliance on God’s strength, we can overcome any obstacle.

I’ve faced many challenges, but my belief in God’s Word and the power of the Holy Spirit in me (Romans 8:11) gives me the confidence to face them head-on.

Every obstacle we encounter is an opportunity for growth. The journey may be tough, but with persistence, prayer, and faith, you can achieve the dreams God placed in your heart.

With God by our side, we are unstoppable! Keep pushing forward and trust in God’s plan, knowing that he is in control!

Today, we take a moment to remember and honor the brave men and women who have given their all for our freedom.

Their sacrifices are the foundation of the liberties we enjoy today.

On this Memorial Day, I especially remember my granddad’s, who served our country with dedication and courage.

Their service, along with that of countless others, reminds us of the true cost of freedom.

Let us all take a moment to reflect on the bravery and selflessness of those who have served.

Enjoy your weekend and remember the heroes who made it possible.

We were honored to be at the movie premiere of SIGHT last night, an Angel Studios film. We had the privilege of meeting Dr. Ming Wang himself.
