Saying Yes to a Crazy Idea with Rob Vaughn
Today I had the privilege to interview Rob Vaughn, founder of one of the most unexpected Christian ministries: the Christian Wrestling Federation. Few people on the planet would dream up mashing professional wrestling and Christian evangelism together. In fact, Rob didn’t either. But 22 years later, it's still going strong. Find out how the Christian Wrestling Federation went from an impossible idea to a ministry that has led over 50,000 people to Jesus.Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @AndyBHowardBuy the book on Amazon: www.amazon.com/When-Words-Dont-Come-Easy/dp/1955362084Listen to the first chapter: soundcloud.com/andy-howard-788712319Learn more at AndyHoward.com!

Past Mistakes Don’t Define Your Future with Michael and Rachel Lopez
Today I had the chance to interview two amazing health coaches who are absolute inspirations: Rachel and Michael Lopez! They are CEOs, entrepreneurs, and godly parents. With so much success, it’s tempting to think life was always easy for them. It wasn’t! The Lopez family has faced hardship after hardship. More than once it looked like their lives were ruined. But what at first seemed to doom their lives, became the very things God has used to bloom it!Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @AndyBHowardBuy the book on Amazon: www.amazon.com/When-Words-Dont-Come-Easy/dp/1955362084Listen to the first chapter: soundcloud.com/andy-howard-788712319Learn more at AndyHoward.com!

A Single Word Can Change Everything
In this episode, we get open and raw about life’s real problems. And, when life gets real so does God. When my depression was at its very worst, when no one could reach me, God did. He spoke a single phrase that has forever changed my life. “There is beauty in the broken.”Many people have wanted to know where “beauty in the broken” came from. Today you’ll find out. This episode is all about hope and encouragement. Sometimes all it takes is a single word for the captives to be set free. Follow on Instagram & Facebook: @AndyBHowardBuy the book on Amazon: www.amazon.com/When-Words-Dont-Come-Easy/dp/1955362084Listen to the first chapter: soundcloud.com/andy-howard-788712319Learn more at AndyHoward.com!
