God is writing a great big story and you have a standing invitation to be a part of it. When you hear a story about God’s supernatural work in someone’s life, it builds your faith. Every week, host Meridith Foster sits down with a guest to share their chapter in God’s unfolding story – this is The Unfolding podcast.
Barry and Gina Copeland have learned when it comes to addiction, desperation is a good thing. That’s when you finally realize Jesus is your only hope. Barry and Gina have followed Jesus and worked in ministry for years, and yet their son struggled with addiction for more than a decade. They tried everything they knew to “fix” the problem. In the process, they lost their joy, their dreams, and lived in chaos. Then God used powerful experiences to teach them their son’s addiction was not their fault, and they couldn’t fix him. They changed how they prayed and demonstrated God’s love to their son. Today, Barry and Gina help those who have loved ones trapped in addiction through the ministry of Finding Hope, a part of Hope Is Alive, an organization that exists to radically change the lives of drug addicts, alcoholics and those who love them.
Terry Wildman didn’t grow up immersed in the history and culture of his First Nations ancestors; but after he met Jesus, his heart for Indigenous Americans grew. As he learned more about the painful history of Native North Americans and the Church, he struggled with questions. But through that struggle he felt a call to translate the Bible following the tradition of Native storytellers. The First Nations Version of the New Testament has sold more than 80,000 copies, bringing hope and healing to many.
For years, Dallas Jenkins had a weekly notification on his phone, “Pray for Pageant.” Dallas is the creator and director of The Chosen, the first ever multi-season show about Jesus. It was 20 years ago when Dallas read a beloved children’s novel called The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, and fell in love with it. He just knew he was meant to make that book into a movie—it wasn’t just a hope or a dream. To Dallas, it felt like a calling. But over and over, for years, Dallas was told “no”—there simply seemed to be no way. This is a story about praying, waiting, and following God’s direction, even when there seems to be no hope.

Lewis and toast. “Producer Sherri,” also a radio veteran, is from Pittsburgh, has one of the world’s great laughs, and demonstrates incredible patience with Brant. Both are believers in Jesus, but have difficulty fitting in with modern American church culture. Together they have a daily radio show that is syndicated across the country, with segments ranging from the latest animal news, to interactions with listeners, to discussions about how messy life can be, and how good God is.
