James Hensley's Story "417 Testimonies of Jesus Christ" Episode 10 With Host Preston & DennisJames Hensley's Testimony:Early Childhood and Trauma: James grew up in Ozark, Missouri. His parents divorced when he was 5 due to his biological father's alcoholism. His mother later remarried, but his stepfather was highly controlling and abusive, which led to a turbulent and traumatic home environment. The church served as a safe haven for him during these difficult years.Struggles with Mental Health and Addiction: Around the age of 15, after his family escaped the abusive household, James experienced a mental breakdown and struggled with self-harm and suicide attempts. Seeking acceptance, he began using meth, which resulted in a severe 20-to-25-year battle with addiction and spending nearly 20 years in and out of the Missouri prison system.A Turning Point in Jail: At around age 40, while incarcerated in the Stone County jail, a visiting pastor prayed over the inmates. James experienced a profound encounter with the Holy Spirit, weeping over his Bible, which marked the true beginning of his spiritual transformation.Recovery and Finding Purpose: Though he faced relapses along the way, James eventually found solid footing through the Adult Teen Challenge program at Hope Homes of the Ozarks.Life Today: James is now 47 and works as an inventory foreman for a company that intentionally hires felons and individuals in recovery. This role allows him to practice "loose discipleship," serving as a mentor and beacon of hope for his coworkers. He is also actively involved in a pastoral relief ministry, stepping in to preach at smaller churches to give long-time pastors a chance to rest

In it, "Jefferson" notes that he wished to be remembered for the concepts he authored—like the Declaration and the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom—rather than the political offices he held.The Hidden Slavery Grievance: The video and subsequent discussion detail Jefferson's original draft of the Declaration, which included a direct paragraph condemning the British slave trade. This clause was entirely struck out by Congress to achieve consensus among southern colonies like Georgia and South Carolina.The Mayflower Compact (1620) as the True Start: Dr. Mary Byrne emphasizes that America’s ideological framework began long before 1776.

250 Years Ago Was America Founded On Faith? The Veterans Church With Pastors Donna & Kevin Kilmurray.Synthesize the Video Information:Title: 250 Years Of America's Founding On ? The Veterans Church With Pastors Donna & Kevin KilmurrayChannel: AMG Broadcasting (Acts Media Group)Date: June 15, 2026Hosts: Pastors Donna and Kevin Kilmurray.Core Topic: Exploring the role of Christianity in America's founding, commemorating the 250th anniversary of the nation.Key Themes:Faith vs. Religion: They make a strong distinction between "religion" (which they view as structured doctrine or denominations, like being Baptist) and "Christian faith" (a personal relationship with God). They argue the founders wanted freedom from forced structured religion, not freedom from God.Christian Foundation: They assert that America was founded on Christian morals, values, and the Ten Commandments. They cite that many colonial documents (like the Mayflower Compact) and universities (Harvard, Yale) had Christian origins.Founding Fathers: They discuss several founders. While acknowledging they weren't uniformly devout (e.g., Benjamin Franklin was not Orthodox but quoted scripture), they emphasize that the founders were not atheists and relied on divine providence. They specifically mention John Jay, Samuel Adams, Roger Sherman, Patrick Henry, and George Washington.Debunking Myths:Myth: America is strictly a Christian nation. Reality: It was founded on Christian principles, but the Constitution did not establish a national religion (to avoid the issues they had with the Church of England).Myth: The founders were all Deists. Reality: While some leaned that way, many were active Christians.Myth: Christianity had no influence. Reality: It profoundly shaped the culture, values, and worldview of the era.Modern Cultural War: They express concern that the nation is moving away from its foundational moral values. They mention controversies like taking history out of schools, the push to get the Bible back in schools (referencing Oklahoma), and general moral decline.Veterans: The show is presented on "The Veterans Church." They honor veterans for fighting to protect the freedoms that allow citizens to practice their faith and speak out, while expressing sorrow over veteran suicide and PTSD.Call to Action: Return to God as a "first love," get the Bible back in schools, exercise voting rights as Christians, and an invitation to the upcoming Axefest (July 17-18).

"Changing Times," host Lynn Morris sits down with Missouri State Senator Curtis Trent to discuss the push to eliminate the Missouri state individual income tax. The conversation centers heavily on the upcoming ballot measure (Amendment 5) that would constitutionally mandate the phase-out of the tax.Here is a breakdown of the key topics discussed, without the timestamps:The Problem with the Income TaxTaxing Productivity: Senator Trent argues that the income tax is a fundamentally flawed way to collect revenue because it discourages human labor and productivity. It taxes individuals based on their earnings before they even decide whether to spend, save, or invest that money.Hidden Costs: Trent pushes back against the narrative that eliminating the income tax only helps the wealthy. He explains that income taxes are "baked into" the price of every good and service. From the logger to the trucker, sawmill operator, and retailer, everyone pays an income tax and passes that cost to the final consumer. Removing the income tax would lower the cost of production and, theoretically, retail prices.The Path to Zero (Amendment 5)A Gradual Phase-Out: Trent explains that if voters pass Amendment 5 in August, the legislature will have five years to implement a phase-out plan. The actual elimination would use a system of "revenue triggers" ensuring the tax only drops when state revenues allow for it, preventing a hole in the state budget. He estimates the full phase-out to zero will take about 5 to 7 years.Revenue Neutrality: To make up for the lost revenue (currently around $8.5 billion net), the plan will likely expand the sales tax base to include more services while keeping exemptions for essentials like healthcare and food. The amendment mandates that this transition remain strictly revenue-neutral.Local Tax Relief: Because state and local tax bases mirror each other, a broadened sales tax base would create a windfall for local governments. However, the amendment requires local revenue neutrality as well, meaning local entities would be forced to use those extra funds to lower local property or earnings taxes.The Economic Argument for MissouriProven Success with Triggers: Missouri has already used trigger laws to gradually reduce the income tax from a historic 6% down to 4.7% over the last decade. Trent notes that for almost every $1 cut during this time, $2.50 of new revenue came into state coffers due to accelerated economic growth.Staying Competitive: Currently, nine other states do not have an income tax (including Tennessee, which has a similar population and economic makeup but consistently outperforms Missouri in growth). Trent argues that Missouri must become an early adopter in the Midwest to attract major national investments and prevent population stagnation.National Implications: Expanding outward, Trent notes that pro-growth state policies are vital for reshoring critical American infrastructure—like pharmaceutical manufacturing and rare-earth mineral production—back from places like China.

Bridget Bidnger and Dr. Maryam Mohammadkhani Share on Current Issues IN School Board Elections With ‘Changing Times' Host Mary Byrne & Lynn Morris.In this episode of Changing Times, hosts Lynn Morris and Dr. Mary Byrne sit down with Bridget Binger of the Nixa School Board and Dr. Miriam Mahmoodkhani of the Springfield Public School Board to discuss local control, educational technology, and the critical importance of school board elections.Motivations for Running & The Tech OverloadSounding the Alarm: Dr. Mahmoodkhani explains her journey into local politics, which started years ago when she noticed the negative behavioral impacts of personal gaming devices and screen time on children.The "Digital Dark Age": The panel shares deep concerns about the current over-reliance on educational technology. They argue that replacing traditional learning methods—like reading physical books front-to-back and writing in cursive—with tablets and screens deprives children of crucial sensory and motor development.Anti-Human vs. Anti-Tech: The guests clarify they are not anti-technology, but rather "pro-child," expressing worry over an educational shift that prioritizes interfacing with devices over human-centered instruction.The True Purpose of Public EducationLoss of Civic Focus: Dr. Byrne and the guests argue that the original, constitutional intent of public schooling was to build a literate populace capable of self-governance and preserving the republic.Beyond Workforce Development: They express concern that the modern educational system is overly focused on producing a compliant workforce for corporations, rather than cultivating informed, capable citizens who understand history and their constitutional rights.Election Reform and Senate Bill 10002Moving Election Dates: A major segment of the show focuses on a bill sponsored by Senator Adam Schnelting, which moves local school board elections in his district (affecting St. Charles County) from the off-cycle April ballot to the on-cycle November ballot.Increasing Voter Turnout: Because April elections historically suffer from very low turnout (often 8-12%), the panel strongly advocates for moving all local school board elections to November. They believe aligning these votes with presidential and mid-term elections will double or triple community participation.Optional Party Identity: The bill also includes a provision allowing candidates to list their political party preference on the ballot, providing voters with clearer information.A Call to the Broader CommunityEveryone's Responsibility: The panel stresses that the health of a local school district directly impacts the safety, economy, and future of the entire community.Engagement is Key: They urge all citizens—including grandparents and those without children currently in the system—to actively participate in school board elections, noting that the future of the country depends on the education of its youth.

"James Webb's Story" 417 Testimonies of Jesus Christ Live Stream With Hosts Preston Cameron & Dennis EversenEarly Life and TraumaJames grew up in a deeply broken home characterized by generational trauma, substance abuse, and domestic violence. After his mother fled his abusive father, she moved the family to Germany with a man from the military. Tragically, this man was severely abusive to James's baby sister, and at 14, James testified against him in court. Burdened by immense anger and unresolved hurt, James turned to drugs, starting with weed and quickly escalating to Xanax, pain pills, and eventually fentanyl.Descent into Addiction and CrimeBy age 15, James was heavily involved in criminal activities to supply his drug habits, eventually leading to 11 stints in prison. He lived a life of chaos, robbing drug dealers, engaging in gang activity, and surviving in squalid trap houses. During one deeply regrettable incident, he robbed an older woman of her laptop to buy fentanyl, dragging her with his car as he fled. Remarkably, the woman never reported him and instead prayed that they would one day be "brother and sister in the kingdom".Rock Bottom and a Miraculous HealingJames's addiction ultimately led to complete liver failure, alongside Hepatitis A and C. Despite doctors giving him only hours to live, he survived the night—only to escape the hospital the next day to find more drugs. He eventually hit rock bottom while fleeing a drug dealer and turned himself in to the police, catching a robbery charge.While facing 12 years in the Ozark Correctional Center, James met a man named Paul Hines, whose genuine faith stood out. Paul challenged James to stop relying on "church lingo" and actually read the Gospels to find out who Jesus really was. James committed to this, isolating himself from his old gang friends and devouring the scriptures, deeply anchoring himself to Matthew 6:33 ("Seek the kingdom first"). Around three months into this spiritual journey, James was supernaturally healed; doctors found zero trace of liver failure or hepatitis.Restoration and Current MinistryAfter his release, James entered the Hope Homes of the Ozarks Adult and Teen Challenge. It was here that he learned crucial character development. Despite having vast biblical knowledge, he realized he needed to learn "how to be a son" to God before he could be a good father or leader.Today, James's life is entirely restored. He is happily married, has had familial relationships mended in unexpected ways (including gaining a stepson, Elijah, who reminds him of a son he lost custody of years prior). He now works in full-time ministry at Victory Mission in Springfield, helping other broken and homeless men find the same redemption he did.His Core Message: James stresses that knowing about Jesus is not enough. He urges believers to practice disciplined, daily reading of the Word of God to build a genuine relationship with Him, reminding listeners that God is always with them in the trenches.

"A Not So Ordinary Man," features host Dennis exploring the profound relationship between focus, faith, and personal growth. Throughout the program, Dennis shares his own experiences and challenges the traditional medical definition of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), suggesting that it is less about a "deficit" of attention and more about an overwhelming ability to receive and process information from numerous sources simultaneously.Reframing Focus: Dennis uses his own struggle with distractions to illustrate how what is often perceived as a deficit is actually a challenge in filtering the flood of incoming information. He shares personal anecdotes—including working in his backyard—to provide a living classroom for his insights on focus.The Spiritual Garden: Using the plants in his backyard as metaphors, Dennis reflects on the legacy and growth of faith. He discusses:Transplanting Life: He shares stories about plants moved from his mother's home, illustrating how life—and by extension, faith—can be carried forward, nurtured, and spread.The Master Pruner: He reflects on the necessity of "pruning" in life. Just as his fig tree and rose bush require cutting back to thrive, he suggests that spiritual and personal growth often require painful but necessary removals to foster new, healthier life.Original Music & Message: The program features three original songs that weave these themes together:"Are You Distracted?": A narrative song about a student named "Little Jimmy" that questions whether modern distractions and chemical solutions are stealing a generation's identity and connection to the Creator."The Kingdom Surge": A high-energy anthem celebrating spiritual victory and the "nobodys" who find their voice in faith."Who You Are": A soulful reminder of individual worth, framing the listener as the "salt of the earth" and "light of the world."Final Teaching: Dennis concludes with a teaching from Luke 3, urging viewers to move away from the world's "static" and toward a "frequency of unity." He emphasizes that as members of the body of Christ, believers are called to walk in the same anointing as Jesus, moving from weakness to power, strength, and victory.Key Themes and Segments

Conrad Griggs What is 94X On ‘Changing Times' With Host Lynn MorrisThe 94X PhilosophyThe term 94X comes from the book 94X: Everything Changes When You Bring God Into Your Business by Sean Kouplen and Mick Schovanec. The core message, which Conrad Griggs champions in the Springfield area, is centered on the following:The 94:1 Ratio: The average person spends roughly 160 hours a month at work, but only about 1.7 hours at church. This means we spend approximately 94 times more time in our professional environment than in a traditional place of worship.Integrating Faith: Griggs discusses how 94X encourages business leaders and employees to view their workplace as their primary mission field, integrating Christian principles into daily operations rather than keeping faith separate from work.Practical Tools: Griggs highlights the 94X Daily Devotional, a morning call-in session, and the "Faith in Business" series as ways to maintain this spiritual focus throughout the work week.

"An Ordinary Man," host Jim Wining discusses the evolution of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD) from a childhood diagnosis into a broader social issue involving "distracted adults."Personal Experience & The DiagnosisJim reflects on his own childhood experiences in the second grade, long before ADD was a common diagnosis. He describes how the redundancy of classroom teaching drove him to distraction and credits a supportive teacher, Mrs. Cromer, for allowing him "movement breaks" to manage his energy and focus.He contrasts this simple, practical solution with the medical approach that emerged in the 1980s and 90s, which he argues primarily relied on medication like Ritalin rather than addressing the root causes.The "Distracted Adult" & Societal ImpactJim argues that the children diagnosed with ADD decades ago have now become adults who struggle with:Social Connection: Difficulty maintaining relationships, jobs, and a sense of authority.Impulsive Behavior: He links lack of focus to disruptive societal actions, including vandalism, rejection of law and order, and even confusion regarding gender identity.Lack of Historical Context: He suggests that this "attention deficit" prevents adults from understanding foundational concepts, such as the origins of the United States.A Spiritual PerspectiveAs a Bishop, Jim frames the issue through a biblical lens:Spiritual Warfare: Referencing Ephesians 2:2, he posits that the ultimate source of this distraction is Satan, whose goal is to destroy "the jewel of God's creation"—man and woman.The Solution in Faith: He emphasizes that the government or money cannot fix these issues. Instead, he calls for a deeper dive into the Word of God, practicing forgiveness, and providing guidance to those who are misguided.Unity: He encourages listeners to read John 17, highlighting Jesus’s prayer for unity, suggesting that being "one with God" is the path to restoring the clarity and focus that society has lost.ConclusionJim concludes by urging his audience to be examples of love and understanding for distracted adults, moving past political and racial divides to focus on the restoration of God's creation.

"A Not So Ordinary Man," host Dennis explores the complex relationship between focus, faith, and personal growth. He challenges the traditional medical definition of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), proposing that it is not a "deficit" of attention, but rather a heightened ability to receive sensory information from a vast array of sources simultaneously.Core Discussion & MetaphorsReframing Focus: Dennis shares his own diagnosis to illustrate that what looks like distraction is often just a struggle to filter a flood of incoming information.The Spiritual Garden: Using his own backyard as a living classroom, he discusses the legacy of plants—like a gooseberry bush from his mother’s home—to show how life and heritage are carried forward through seasons.The Master Pruner: He reflects on the necessity of "pruning" in life. Just as his fig tree and rose bush require cutting back to thrive, he suggests that spiritual and personal growth often require painful but necessary removals to foster new life.Original MusicThe program features three original songs that weave these themes together:"Are You Distracted?": A narrative song about a student named "Little Jimmy" that questions whether modern distractions and chemical solutions are stealing a generation's identity and connection to the Creator."The Kingdom Surge": A high-energy anthem celebrating spiritual victory and the "nobody's" who find their voice in faith."Who You Are": A soulful reminder of individual worth, framing the listener as the "salt of the earth" and "light of the world."Final MessageDennis concludes with a teaching on the "anointing of the least," urging viewers to move away from the world's "static" and toward a "frequency of unity." He encourages everyone to stop the distraction and start a true connection with their faith and community.

Bishop Dennis Eversen delivers a powerful message titled "Christ's Anointing ON Us." The video combines original music with a theological teaching on the empowerment of believers.Bishop Dennis focuses on the transition from the ministry of John the Baptist to the ministry of Jesus.

Science and The Pursuit of Truth With Wen Chen & Bishop Dennis Eversen, the speakers explore the intersection of scientific inquiry, personal faith, and the search for objective truth. 1. Defining the Common Goal: TruthThe dialogue begins by establishing that both science and faith are, at their core, a pursuit of objective truth.Science seeks to understand the "how" through observable data and physical laws.Faith addresses the "why" and the underlying moral or spiritual architecture of existence.They argue that when both are pursued with honesty, they inevitably converge rather than collide.2. The Role of Intellectual HumilityA significant portion of the talk focuses on the necessity of humility in both fields.In Science: Dr. Chen notes that scientific theories are often refined or replaced as new evidence emerges. A "dogmatic" scientist who refuses to look at new data is not practicing true science.In Faith: Bishop Eversen emphasizes that spiritual growth requires an openness to revelation and a willingness to acknowledge the limitations of human understanding.3. Overcoming the "Conflict" NarrativeThe speakers challenge the modern idea that one must choose between being "rational" and being "religious."They discuss historical figures in science who were deeply motivated by their faith to understand the "creator's handiwork."The conversation suggests that the perceived conflict often stems from misunderstandings—either a superficial view of science or a rigid, non-exploratory view of faith.4. Ethics and PurposeThey delve into how science provides the tools for progress, but faith and morality provide the direction.Science can tell us how to split an atom, but it cannot tell us whether it is "right" to use that power for destruction or energy.They conclude that a society needs both the rigorous evidence of science and the ethical grounding of spiritual truth to flourish.

Lori Arndt: Service, Resilience, and RenewalIn this featured segment from The Veterans Church, Pastor Kevin Kilmurray and Bishop Jim Wining sit down with Navy veteran Lori Arndt. As a former Seabee, Lori’s story moves from the technical demands of military construction to a deeply personal journey of healing and rediscovered faith.Choosing a Trade: Lori enlisted at 18 with a clear goal: she wanted to learn a tangible skill. She joined the Seabees (the Navy’s Construction Battalion) specifically to work in the building trades and to ensure her service remained land-based.Duty in Guantanamo Bay: Her first assignment was in Cuba with Public Works. She spent her days repairing perimeter fencing and maintaining runways. She recalls a vivid memory of a close call where she had to quickly clear a runway as a massive C-141 transport plane began an unscheduled landing.Humanitarian Impact: While stationed in Antigua, Lori’s mission shifted to disaster relief. Following the destruction of Hurricane Hugo, she volunteered her construction skills to help rebuild local villages and orphanages.Facing the Past: Lori speaks with profound honesty about surviving Military Sexual Trauma (MST). The experience left her with years of deep-seated anger and led to a period of struggling with alcohol and a complete loss of faith.The Path to Healing: A later mental health crisis became the catalyst for change. She sought help through a VA inpatient program, where she began the difficult work of recovery. Guided by the memory of her grandfather’s faith, she eventually found the strength to forgive both herself and those who had wronged her.Personal Philosophy: Lori lives by the motto "Let Go and Let God," which she even has tattooed as a reminder. She explains that true peace came when she learned to stop fighting for control and started listening for spiritual direction.Serving Fellow Veterans: Today, Lori utilizes her mechanical skills through a family-run mobile RV repair business. She continues her spirit of service by providing free or discounted repairs to veterans who are struggling.Honor and Prayer: Bishop Jim highlighted a new prayer board established at their resort, where community members can post photos and names of loved ones currently deployed to the Middle East.Media Growth: The team announced that their previous platform, Radio Free America, has officially transitioned into AGM Radio under the Acts Media Group, with expanded programming on the horizon.Military Career and the Seabee LegacyA Journey Through Trauma and FaithCurrent Mission and Community Updates

Dennis Eversen, titled "Lord if it is you bid me to come!", provides a deep look into what he calls "classical Christianity."Originally recorded in Oden, Missouri, in October 1997, the message was recently recovered from a VHS tape and shared by AMG Broadcasting (Acts Media Group).The message is structured into two primary sections that challenge modern religious norms:The Offensive Gospel: Eversen argues that the true Gospel naturally offends the world and sin. He warns against "modern Christianity" which he claims tries to broaden the "narrow road" to avoid controversy.A "Very Life" Relationship: Drawing from Colossians, he emphasizes that Christ should not just be a guest in a believer's life but their "very life".Victory Now: He encourages believers to seek victory over sin and depression in the present, rather than waiting for the afterlife.The Threefold Anointing: He describes the call for every believer to function as:Prophet: Speaking God's words.Priest: Interceding for others.King: Ruling over personal sin and leading through service.Holy Spirit Empowerment: He points to the baptism of the Holy Spirit as essential for being a witness in the "last days".Shining in Darkness: Eversen concludes with a call to be "set on fire" for God to counter the spiritual darkness of the current age.You can watch the full recording and listen to his modern-day reflections on the message here.Sermon HighlightsPart 1: Living a Sold-Out LifePart 2: The Anointing for the Last Days

Dennis Eversen A Central Bible College Student Preaching His Second Sermon Ever The Meaning Of Life.In this video, Dennis Eversen, a student at Central Bible College, delivers his second sermon ever, titled "The Meaning of Life." He explores this profound question through the lens of 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, asserting that the true meaning of life is reconciliation with God.Key Points of the Sermon:What is Reconciliation? Eversen defines it as being brought back into a right relationship with God, illustrating this with a story of a divided family during the Civil War seeking to reunite.God's Work, Not Ours: He emphasizes that reconciliation is a work of God through Jesus Christ, not something achieved by human works, religion, or sacrifices.The Debt Paid: Using a banking metaphor, he explains that while our "soul's account" is bankrupt due to sin, God does not "impute" or charge our trespasses to us, but instead credits us with righteousness through Christ's sacrifice.The Price of Love: He describes the magnitude of God’s love in sacrificing His own Son for a world that was still in sin, comparing it to a father giving up a son to save a person who had wronged his family.Ambassadors for Christ: Eversen challenges believers to live as "ambassadors of light" in a "foreign land" of sin, sharing the message of reconciliation with a lost and dying world.New Creation Now: He argues that the "new creation" mentioned in 2 Corinthians 5:17 starts here on Earth, and that a relationship with God should be fresh and active now, not just something anticipated after death.Reflection:Eversen concludes by asking his audience if they are satisfied with their current level of closeness to God and urging them to actively participate in the ministry of reconciliation.The video was published by AMG Broadcasting (Acts Media Group) on January 22, 2026.
