864 Podcast

Meet the hosts! Today we got the chance to share our own stories with y'all! We had fun taking a trip down memory lane and also sharing how the 864 Podcast came to be. We hope you enjoy the episode!

Davis Bacher came by to share his heart for the kids and community of Utica. He and his wife, Stephanie, have chosen to live at the center of an area of town most people would avoid. Get inspired by the intentional practice of reaching out to people on the margins.

Vernon Bacher joined us to share the vision of All In and Clemson. His story of how God moved in that process is so incredible and we were so thankful for the conversation.

We sat down with Daniel Hochstetler, director of Fair Play Boys Camp and longtime friend, to hear his perspective on leading an established mission organization. He has spent the last couple decades taking care of people and standing in the gap for boys from hard places. The stories and wisdom he shared are inspiring whether you are in missions, business, or part of a church or family.

Abby and Lindsey from Fostering Faithfully joined us on the pod today! The work they are doing all over SC is remarkable and there are so many ways to help out. Give this a listen and you'll be ready to help where you can! fosteringfaithfully.org https://a.co/d/dL7CCSN

Pastor For Grant joined us to discuss how God pursued his heart as a young man and the life of service that has followed. We cover the broad range of experiences from music ministry, to pastoring, to prison ministry, and online media. We hope you'll be encouraged to create space in your life to hear the voice of God and respond in obedience when he speaks. straightpathschurch.org

Vonda Johnson has been mentoring young ladies in the upstate for a long time! She shared with us her heart for helping people and her insight to mentorship and we were very happy to have her on the podcast!

Harley Yoder is a great businessman but also has a huge heart for the community both locally and internationally. He talked with us about the lessons he learned from his dad and grandpa and now he works to continue the job they started many years ago. His love for people is apparent and we know you'll love hearing what he had to share with us.

Today we had our good friend Tim Murakami on the podcast! He self-taught his way into starting a creative learning space for others and his journey to that point is so fascinating! We were also so encouraged by the decisions he makes on a weekly basis to help his neighbors in need! We hope you enjoy!

Happy birthday Lifepoint! Blake Pitts joined us to talk about the vision of Lifepoint from small groups to thousands on a Sunday morning. Through the years God has used Blake to encourage many to be the hands and feet of Jesus in their communities and we hope you'll be encouraged to do the same.

Abby joined us to share about her involvement at the Foothills Care Center. Her passion for the families of Oconee County is contagious and we are excited to share her story with you!

Today we have a dear friend of ours on the podcast: JD Miller. We talk about his journey to pastoring and the things God has taught him through that ministry. We left our conversation encouraged to find rest and also to do what we can to serve those in the community around us.

Join us as we talk with Mark Vehaun about his involvement in local ministry despite his busy schedule. He shares his experiences with volunteering in local ministry and shares how his love for serving has grown over the last couple years.
