As the 2025 year comes to a close, this special episode of Stories of His Glory host Ryne Jungling is joined by FCA North Dakota staff members Nate Safe, Austin Bettenhausen, and Tate Tobiason as they reflect on some of the most powerful moments from the season.

Drawing from Alys Seay’s story, the guys revisit key themes like:

1. the pressure of performance
2. the importance of identity in Christ
3. the power of community and discipleship
4. how the truth of the gospel brings freedom.

Reflecting on Jeff Martin’s story and the birth of Fields of Faith topics that are discussed are:

1. highlighting how God uses ordinary, untrained students to boldly share their faith
2. how peer-to-peer testimony often reaches hearts in ways polished speakers cannot.

Finally, the guys revisit Chad Hammontree’s concept of “logging miles”, were they are reminded that:

1. consistent presence, time, and relationship-building can open doors for life-changing ministry.

This episode is a reminder that discipleship doesn’t require perfection or a platform—it requires availability, faithfulness, and a willingness to let God work through everyday moments.

Verse of the Day:

2 Corinthians 5:17 - "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!"
