One80

Today’s One80 is a rootin-tootin cowboy testimony!

Monty Rieck was a cowboy through and through. Hear how he went from a “black hat wearing” cowboy–rodeo roping, gun toting and chasing the things of this world– to the Cowboy Preacher.

Monty pursued a business venture and didn’t know he was surrounded by Christians. He was overcome with the love they had for their wives, and his own need for a savior. After saying “Yeehaw” to Jesus, Monty demonstrated Christian love for his wife, and biblical forgiveness for her and the men who had wronged him.

Today’s Sendoff features OneWay Prayercast Manager, Joe Schweitzer, and some good ‘ole Cowboy Bible.

Izzy Koo grew up in a Christian home, but when her dad challenged her on what she believed, she didn’t have answers. Soon thereafter her friends who walked away from faith gave her an ultimatum: choose us or choose God.

Without thinking, Izzy chose God. This rejection was actually Izzy’s turning point. She decided to learn more about this God who was worth losing friends over. 

“I decided in my heart to try to get to know this God I had claimed to believe. I was done just believing in Him simply because my parents did, or because I felt like I should.

I wanted to believe in God for myself. So the first thing that made sense to do was to read my Bible.”

Izzy poured through the Bible and eventually surrendered her life to Jesus. Izzy then developed a heart for others who were rejected.  

Izzy is a student at Pepperdine University in Malibu.

Be blown away by today's One80 with Josh McDowell. He used to wait for Christians to speak out in class so that he could tear them up. That is, before Josh encountered Jesus himself. After some of these very students issued a challenge for Josh to disprove Christianity, hear how his quest brought him to the person of truth and took him from skeptic to one of the country’s greatest evangelists, as well as the father of modern apologetics.

Josh has faithfully served with Cru as an evangelist for 60 years. He's written more than 150 books, and given over 32,000 talks in 139 countries, addressing more than 46 million.

Be encouraged by the power of forgiveness and incredible restoration in Josh's moving story. And enjoy the Sendoff, where TC Boyd the Artist shares a rap all about Josh's amazing life.

Today's One80 is the story of Shahe Nahler, born in Afganistan, and God's loving and faithful pursuit of her to saving faith. It's a dramatic story of whispers from God Himself, and many people He placed in her life along the way. Hear how a high school prayer group was the first to witness to Shahe, but many more followed, including a nun, a compassionate doctor, and a televangelist.

The gripping story is brought to you in two parts. Part 1 covers her view of Christianity, the glimpses of Jesus she witnessed, including the moving viewing of an El Greco painting, God warning Shahe Himself, and how her troubled marriage brought her to her first prayer to the God who created her.

Doreen Virtue grew up in Christian Science, which opened the door to the occult.

She became the top author in New Age. Her angel worship tarot cards were a huge success and people flocked to her Youtube channel for New Age false wisdom. Not only did she have sold out standing-room only events, but stars were coming to her palatial Hawaii ranch to get readings from her.

"So much deception. It was only through God's grace and mercy that my eyes were opened."

But open they did! One fateful day Doreen was listening to Truth for Life from Alistair Begg as he described a false teacher. "It was the first time I remember consciously the Holy Spirit convicting me." She left New Age behind and was deceived no more, the name of her book.

After becoming a believer, Doreen went to seminary, getting a Master's Degree in Biblical and Theological Studies from Western Seminary. Hear her sound advice on spotting the occult. And learn why New Age and Christianity could never blend.

Kim Endraske was a passionate atheist who enjoyed debating Christians. Except that no one wanted to enter the ring with her. 

“The Christians that I knew really didn't know how to answer me, So when I would say some comment like, ‘How can you believe the Bible is real?’ They would just kind of look at me; they couldn't really defend their faith.” 

Kim was really just waiting for someone to engage her hard questions. “I really had no idea what I was talking about. And if someone who was really wise and had studied, they probably could have sat down and really talked to me. But no one really was there to walk me through and explain to me, that actually, there are scientific reasons to believe.” 

This all changed when a new friend answered her prolific questions about Christianity, even though as Kim said, “He didn’t have any idea really what to say.” But since he wasn’t afraid to engage with her, when he actually shared the gospel, Kim became a believer. With her newfound faith, the Bible opened up for Kim and she embraced Christianity. 

Kim shares how her faith got her through the death of an infant and how she now helps others going through the same grief. 

Today’s show will be especially helpful for those who are intimidated to engage with atheists. Host, Margaret Ereneta, said, “It's interesting, we get so intimidated around atheists, ardent atheists, passionate atheists, but we forget that we hold the truth and they don't have it. We have something that they need to hear. And I love that you're saying if someone would've just told me this or had an argument for me, or just had the courage to speak up, it really would've helped and they didn't.”

Today’s Sendoff is a guided prayer for atheists from OneWay’s Prayercast.

Raised in a troubled home, Diane Dassing turned to drugs to manage her pain. She even became a cocaine dealer. When Diane got caught, she realized her childhood dry dose of religiosity came back to her when she needed it most. She confessed her sin and sought the Lord’s help. This propelled Diane from dealer into the arms of the Healer.

Diane courageously turned her struggle into a teaching tool to help others overcome their own addictions. Today’s Sendoff is a poem from Wheaton College student Liv LeDuc.

Jonathan Hickory and trauma knew each other well. Childhood trauma coupled with on-the-job trauma as a police officer crippled Jonathan and compelled him to turn to alcohol as an escape. 

“Police officers see the darkest moments in peoples’ lives in this fallen world,” Jonathan said in his book, Break Every Chain, which was made into a movie of the same name. 

A Christian family’s response to their own pain and suffering made Christianity look intriguing, but Jonathan was so plagued with alcohol addiction that he didn’t have true eyes to see.  

“The more I drank, the further I withdrew from God. Angry outbursts became a daily activity for me. I was dying inside.”

More pain and trauma followed Jonathan until his wife’s desperate plea for him to join her at church. That day he heard that God has the final word on pain with a message from 1 Peter that compelled Jonathan to saving faith. 

"Jesus help me become the man my family needs me to be. Forgive me for what I've done. Help heal our wounds. Help me fix this mess I made please. As he slowly started saying yes to Jesus, his alcohol addiction abated and his marriage was restored. 

Today's Sendoff features Liv LeDuc with a poem in honor of Jonathan's story

David grew up in unfathomable circumstances in Maui, Hawaii–a hippie commune with ten moms, 23 siblings and a troubled father. As David was finally taken into Child Protective Services, he developed the drug habit of his father and grew even further from the person the Lord wanted him to be. 

His brothers made a surprise visit to confront David on his lifestyle.  Never having gone to church themselves, they told him to go. And David looked at them and said, “That's for old people. That's for boring people. No thank you!" But after their lecture, he felt a stirring in his inner being.

Everything changed when David visited a church for the first time. Even though he said to himself, “I dare you to bless me,” the blessings came, along with a decision to follow Christ. And as he made the decision to be a 24-7 Christian rather than a Sunday Christian, he went from a druggie to an evangelist in the span of five minutes! His old drug habits disappeared. He soon became the evangelist at his high school and on to a career of discipleship and pastoring.  

Today's Sendoff features Hawaiian ukulele artist, Mike Amore, in his musical prayer for Hawaiians devastated by wildfires.

Losing both parents at 12, Don Long quickly figured out how to navigate the world in what he calls, “bootstraps theology,” figuring life out on his own and taking no punches. But Don’s theology only got him into trouble, even a knife fight. A loving step mother and caring mentors guided Don to the only source to really pull him out of his bootstraps–Jesus Christ.

Don never thought he would make it past 18. But a kind mentor brought him to church. Don said of his early church days, "I literally would slip and sit in the back row. And then before the 'men' was done with 'amen,' I was out of there." God answered Don's desperate prayer to be able to read and understand the Bible, and from that moment, his life was changed. Don is now a pastor at Valley Church in West Des Moines, Iowa, where he heads up Valley Global missions.

Dr. Thilak Pappu was a Hindu of Hindus. Raised by a guru, Thilak served as a worship leader, a temple builder, and a searching for God mountain climber. 

The striving and idol worship were weighing him down. Slowly over time Thilak started to ask questions to the only God who was actually listening. And God answered those questions, through the Bible, other Christians and an encounter with actual Christian worship. After Thilak became a believer, he got commissioned to the mission field by none other than Billy Graham.

Dr. Pappu holds his Doctorate in Ministry from Columbia International University and on the show, you'll hear valuable insights on Hinduism and reaching Hindus. Dr. Pappu studied 14 years under his guru, and as a believer, spent 14 years on his research on reaching Hindus.

Today's Sendoff features OneWay's Heart Bible for the Nations.
