Welcome to The Big Impact Ep 258 - Rick and Jane's Walk Across America How would you respond if asked to do something you knew was impossible? Something so difficult, so crazy, so beyond your ability that it didn’t even make sense. You’d dismiss it, forget about it and act like you were never asked, right? But what if it were God asking? What if you were absolutely sure that you had just heard God speak? This is that story. It is the story of ultimate Christian Evangelism. It is the story of life-changing adventure driven by a desire to share the gospel. It is the story of two very unlikely people who God asked to walk across America. They were to walk from one side of the country to the other, in every conceivable kind of weather, facing what seemed like insurmountable odds, taking every step together and accomplish it in just six months. As you read this memoir, you’ll take each step with them, meet the people they met, hear the prayers they prayed, feel their pain and celebrate their victories. This is the incredible, true account of their once-in-a-lifetime, and how it transformed their lives forever.

Welcome to The Big Impact Ep 255 - An Orphan in the House of God - Overcoming Abuse Our featured guest is Craig Daliessio, author of "An Orphan in the House of God," a powerful personal story about overcoming the horrors of an abusive childhood, experiencing years of homelessness, and ultimately coming to know Christ as the healer of all that hurt. "Jesus said: "Unless you become childlike, you cannot grasp the kingdom of God..." In "An Orphan in the House of God," Craig Daliessio shares the intimate details of growing up in a dysfunctional, chaotic family and his desperate attempt to reach out to a God he didn't understand. As he entered adulthood, he came to realize that a spirit of orphanage was keeping him trapped and unable to experience the childlike faith and joy that Jesus taught. After years of hurtful relationships with his parents and others close to him, Craig came to understand that God's love is beyond what even the best mom or dad has ever shown their child. "An Orphan in the House of God" show us the way out of the orphanage, and into the arms of our loving Father.

Welcome to The Big Impact Ep 249 - Pancakes for Roger - Susan Combs Major General Roger Combs was a highly decorated Vietnam veteran who was diagnosed with Agent-Orange-related throat cancer in his later years, which he had been exposed to as a helicopter pilot in Vietnam.  His daughter and best-selling author, Susan, acted as his caregiver through his final days. In his final treatments, he used a feeding tube for his meals.   One day, she recounts, she found him setting the table for breakfast: “I came downstairs, he was setting the kitchen table for himself and I looked at him rather quizzically and asked what he was doing. He looked at me and said, 'I want pancakes for breakfast.'” Major Roger Combs passed shortly thereafter and never got his pancakes, but Susan was determined to keep his memory alive. She's the champion behind the #PancakesforRoger movement, a moving tribute to her late father, which encourages people to share photos of themselves enjoying pancakes on social media to keep her father's memory alive. For every post with the hashtag #PancakesforRoger, her company will donate a dollar to the Mizzou Law Veterans Clinic, an establishment near and dear to Major Combs's heart.  ---- BIG IMPACT VIDEO CHANNEL - You'll find free VIDEOS of our podcast interviews HERE SUBSCRIBE to the Big Impact Podcast for free!

Welcome to The Big Impact Ep 247 and an inspiring, powerful conversation with best-selling author, Cesar Perez. A professional actor with a promising career, Cesar Perez was on a meteoric rise until a drunk driver slammed into his car head-on. He coded on the paramedics more than once on the way to the hospital, and coded again when he arrived. It’s a miracle he even survived. Still, he wouldn’t have called it miraculous at the time. In one devastating blow, all his dreams had been ripped away. A severe brain injury had left him almost entirely incapacitated. His right arm was paralyzed. His femur had snapped in two. His face was shattered. He spent months learning how to breathe, eat, walk, and talk all over again. In the midst of it all, his girlfriend left him—the same girlfriend he had been on his way to see that fateful night. But life, ultimately, is a gift. Fragile, firm, and beautiful. Throughout the course of Cesar’s long, often tortuous recovery, Chase the Light shines with courage, grace, and the resilience of the human spirit—reminding us that every life has meaning and every soul has a purpose, always, even in our darkest moments.
