In episode 20 of Every Day Matters, Pastor Jeff talks with Mary Katharine Hunt, CEO of Justice and Mercy International (JMI). She shares her journey from a successful career at LifeWay to stepping into God’s call to lead JMI, showing how faith is lived out daily and not just on Sundays.

Mary Katharine reflects on the growth of JMI, from small mission trips to Moldova and the Amazon to a thriving global ministry with child sponsorships, transitional living homes, and pastor training. She highlights how obedience to God’s call opens the door for life change—both for those served and those who serve.

Together, Jeff and Mary Katharine remind listeners that every believer is called to live on mission. Whether by sponsoring a child, joining a mission trip, or simply loving the “one” God places before us, each step of faith matters. When we say yes to Jesus, He provides and transforms lives including our own.

In this episode of the Every Day Matters podcast, Pastor Jeff talks with former coach Mike Flynt about his powerful journey of faith. Though not raised in a Christian home, Mike’s life changed through the prayers and example of his wife, Eileen. After hitting rock bottom in a season of despair, he surrendered to Christ—a decision that not only saved him but later inspired others, including a man who said Mike’s testimony kept him from ending his own life.

Mike also shares how he carried the regret of being dismissed from his college football team for decades. At age 59, he returned for a remarkable second chance walking on as a linebacker and becoming the oldest to play the position. His story, now told in the feature film The Senior, celebrates forgiveness, perseverance, and God’s grace in rewriting our stories.

Together, Jeff and Mike remind listeners that faith is lived out daily. Every moment is a chance to choose not just to be “good” but to be “great” in following Christ. Mike’s testimony encourages us to trust God with our regrets, live with purpose, and remember that every day truly matters.

Life is both beautiful and hard, but each day is a chance to discover your purpose and make an impact. In this episode of Every Day Matters, Pastor Jeff talks with Pastor Nic Allen about what it means to discern God’s will. Nic shares how saying “yes” to God has shaped his life, from growing up in faith to 18 years of ministry at Rolling Hills. Each season—whether moving, changing roles, or raising kids—has been an invitation to trust God one step at a time.

Nic explains that discerning God’s will begins with following His general call for all believers: praying, rejoicing, serving, and growing in Christlike character. From there, decisions about jobs, relationships, or new opportunities become clearer when rooted in Scripture, community, and wise counsel. Sometimes the answer means waiting; other times it means stepping out in faith before every detail is known.

Now, as Nic transitions to a new role with Justice and Mercy International, he reflects on how God’s plans are always greater than our own. His story is a reminder that when we give God our “yes,” He works through our lives in ways that bless others and bring Him glory, because every day truly matters.
