Each week on my show, I share portions of my own transforming story of Triumph over Tragedy and invite my guests to tell their stories to encourage you, my listeners, to believe that you are not alone when you face tragic experiences. Today’s show will be different in light of the violent tragedy we experienced as a nation less than ten days ago in Tuscan, AZ. I purposely held back one week from responding to this tragedy because I didn’t want my response to get lost in the multitude of articles and sound bites regarding our national response to this tragedy.
I also wanted to see if there would be a definitive Christian response to this tragedy besides praying for the victim’s families. Prayer works, I don’t deny its power, but after the funerals on last week, the families are asking themselves, ‘Now what?’
God's Transforming Stories are the next chapters in the Bible. We are modern day epistles, the only Bible some people will ever read. By sharing how God transformed our life's story, we give Him all the Glory and draw man's attention to Him as our Deliverer, our Healer, and our Sustainer until our positive change comes!

Are You Emotionally Ready to Move Forward into 2011?
This holiday season has been very challenging for me for several reasons. In this interview, I share with transparency and authenticity how I have struggled through my own emotional triggers this month and how I decided to move foward (again) in spite of them. Dr. Carolyn Miller, who is also a personal friend, and I talked about the recent deaths of loved ones in my family, along with Miriam making 10 years old and how I underestimated their impact on me.
I share candidly and openly with the listening audience, the process I worked through to gain insight about my emotional issues and how I arrived at the decision to go back into therapy for a season to help me reconcile them. I had to recognize there was a problem before I could confront it. I pray that if you identify with me in this interview that you follow my example and get the help you need to move forward emotionally in 2011!

How To Bounce Back From Setbacks!
This past weekend I facilitated a city-wide Handling Grief and Loss during the Holidays Seminar that was open and free to the public. The experience was awesome because everyone was bereaved that attended this seminar and they all received a breakthrough and healing in their grief journeys. I was so overwhelmed by the positive comments and feedback that I received from the attendees that I invited a few of them from that seminar as guests on the show today.
Their comments and posts on the FB Fan page for ‘My #1 Is Still My #1!’ inspired the idea for me to have them on the show as guests so that you all can hear them testify from their own mouths of the emotional healing ministry that the book, “My #1 Is Still My #1!” has made in their lives. I wanted them to share the breakthroughs they received as a result of participating in my grief and loss seminar. I believe there is an unseen, all powerful source in the person of GOD who will walk you through your crisis if you submit to the process.
To God Be The Glory for empowering these attendees to break out from the spirit of heaviness they were living with!

My Daddy, The Devil and Me, Part 2
Last week's show was not long enough for my guest to share her entire story so I invited her back to share the rest!
Author Debra A. Davis' own true harrowing story will turn everything you think you know about incest upside down. How can someone you trust and adore brainwash you and turn you into something you are not? Debra Davis thought she was Daddy’s little girl—but, at age 15, Daddy’s little girl became Daddy’s lover and slave. Led by her father into a violent life of crime, she became a prostitute, drug addict, victim of physical abuse, and prison inmate. She nearly murdered her father one night… but she never stopped loving him.
This is anything but an ordinary autobiography. Join me and my guest Debra Davis as she shares why she kept a dark and dirty secret for 21 years—and then, at last, she broke free. You’ve never heard anything like this before!

Join me and my guest, Mike Adams, as he shares how God turned his life around so much so that he was selected as Man of the Year at his church after living as a street hustler for many years. God truly transformed his story for His Glory!

Learning to Believe God for Healing
Have you ever wondered how people who were miraculously healed developed the faith to believe God for it?
Today's guest, Patricia Hughes, will share her step by step faith walk and how she went from not knowing how to pray for herself to receiving a physical healing in her body that was verified by medical doctors after she learned how to speak life over herself and the healing power of prayer.
