In this episode of Words of This Life, Brenda Olmos shares her testimony of coming to know the Lord as a teenager, growing up in a Mexican home, and learning to follow Him in both the big and small decisions of life.

Brenda speaks on how Christian community first drew her in, how the Word became personal to her in college, and how the Lord faithfully led her through major turning points, including Bible training, her career in healthcare, pursuing a PhD, marriage, and experiences that required deeper faith. She also shares on ambition, financial anxiety, giving, serving in the church life, and the importance of staying soft toward the Lord’s inner speaking.

This conversation is a rich and honest look at what it means to pursue a full human life while remaining open to the Lord, trusting His leading, and learning that true security is found in Him.

In this episode of Words of This Life, Pablo and Ayo are joined by former ABA champion and NBA player Willie Wise for a rich conversation about life, faith, and what truly gives meaning to human life.

Willie shares about growing up in San Francisco as one of ten children, living “from meal to meal,” and how basketball became the path that eventually led him to Drake University and the 1969 Final Four. From there, he went on to play professionally in the ABA and NBA, facing legendary players and experiencing the highest levels of the game.

Along the way, Willie also shares his experiences growing up during a time when racism and cultural tensions were very present in the United States. He speaks honestly about the atmosphere of the 50s and 60s, the challenges many faced, and how he has continued to view these issues even today.

One of the central lines from this episode captures the heart of his testimony: “Reality is Jesus Christ. Everything else is papier-mâché.” Willie explains how so many things people pursue can seem solid, but in the end only Christ remains as the true reality that gives life meaning.

This episode is also our first remote split-screen recording, and we’re thankful to share Willie’s story with you.

In this episode of Words of This Life, we sit down with Dr. Kenneth Diller, professor at the University of Texas, who has spent more than five decades in scientific research and teaching while walking day by day with the Lord.

Dr. Diller shares his journey from rural Ohio to MIT, and eventually to UT Austin, describing how he learned to integrate his Christian faith with a high-level scientific career. We talk about why science and the Bible are not contradictory but complementary, how science explains process while Scripture reveals purpose, and why rejecting faith in the name of science is not an intellectually honest position.

In this talk, Dr. Diller unpacks the three parts of man, what it means to live by an inward sense, and how the grace of God trains us in real, daily experience.
