Jay Lowder, evangelist and founder of Jay Lowder Harvest Ministries, has spent over 20 years doing one thing — full time evangelism. Recently he headlined a campus wide event at Stephen F. Austin University in Texas where more than 500 students made public decisions for Christ, so many that those not responding to the invitation were quietly asked to leave because there was not enough room to walk everyone through the follow up process. It was only the second time in two decades of ministry that has ever happened.

College campuses, a generation hungry for something real, and a move of God that is unlike anything seen in a generation: Jay breaks down the difference between revival and awakening, why he believes what is happening right now on college campuses across America is unprecedented, and what it felt like to sense the presence of God so strongly in that room at SFA before a single student stood up. He also opens up about his own suicide attempt at 21, the evangelistic event that changed everything, and why the moment he saw students come to Christ he turned to his roommate and said that is what I will do with the rest of my life.

Highlights
Over 500 students made public decisions for Christ at Stephen F. Austin University
The key difference between revival among believers and a true awakening among the lost
Why college students are the most hungry demographic Jay has encountered in over two decades of evangelism
How the pandemic, social media, and cultural emptiness are driving students toward Jesus
What Jay was preaching from Matthew 7 and why Jesus saying "I never knew you" set the tone for the entire event
His personal story, a suicide attempt at 21 and the night an evangelist's message about Jesus changed everything
Why he believes God is strategically pouring out His Spirit on young people at this moment in history

René Echevarria, award-winning television writer and producer known for his work on Star Trek and CSI, spent years wanting to make something he could share with his church. The Faithful: Women of the Bible is that project, a series premiering on Fox that tells the stories of Sarah, Hagar, Rebecca, Leah, and Rachel through their own eyes, and what it looks like to experience the call of God not from Abraham's perspective, but from the woman who woke up and found him gone.

Bible storytelling, creative license, and a faith that came home through grief: René opens up about how the success of The Chosen and House of David cracked open the door for serious Scripture-based television on mainstream networks, how a Jewish rabbi and a Christian theologian kept the creative license honest, and what the ancient tradition of Midrash taught him about reading between the lines of Scripture. He also shares how losing his mother drew him back to church after years away, and why when his kids were born, he and his wife were baptized in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Malibu.

Highlights
How co-creator Carol Mendelson, head writer of the CSI franchise, shaped the women-first lens of the show
What Midrash is and why a Jewish rabbi told René he was doing something with a 1000-year tradition behind it
How The Chosen and House of David together created the Venn diagram moment that opened doors for faith content
Why streaming and long-form storytelling let Scripture breathe in a way that two-hour Bible epics never could
Losing his mother young, finding himself drawn back to church, and getting baptized in the Pacific Ocean off Malibu
Why he is hosting a private premiere for his church family the night before the show airs

René Echevarria on The Faithful and Seeing Genesis Through Women's Eyes

Tim Timmons was given five years to live 25 years ago. Diagnosed with stage four incurable cancer, with tumors still on his liver today, he woke up again this morning. Featured in the new I Am Second film and at the heart of I Can Only Imagine 2, Tim shares what it has looked like to hold onto Jesus through decades of uncertainty, and why the hardest seasons of his life became the greatest gifts.

Deconstruction, radical gratitude, and the practice of waking up with Jesus: Tim opens up about walking away from full-time ministry after 15 years, what he learned about the real church while hanging out at a rundown motel with homeless families and prostitutes, and why he quit working for God to simply be with Him. He also talks about how a chance friendship with Bart Millard became the heart of a major motion picture, what he writes on his wrist every single morning with a Sharpie, and why he believes if Jesus people actually practiced the heart of Jesus, the world would never be the same.

Highlights
Diagnosed with stage four incurable cancer 25 years ago and still waking up every day
What deconstruction and reconstruction really looked like in his own faith journey
Leaving a massive Orange County church to hang out with homeless families at a rundown motel
Why he quit working for God and chose to simply live with Him instead
How a casual friendship with Bart Millard became the story behind I Can Only Imagine 2
What Milo Ventimiglia brought to the role and why he acts more like Jesus than most Christians Tim knows
What 10,000 Minutes is and why he believes Christians are fat on content but anemic on practice

Tim Timmons on I Can Only Imagine 2 and Living with Cancer

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/e28b7d07-9f5e-47b2-b9ba-b42b00d8a543/transcript

Tommee Profitt, award-winning composer and producer, has spent years making cinematic music for movie trailers, TV shows, and artists like NF and TobyMac. Now he is turning that same epic, orchestral sound toward something deeply personal. The Resurrection of a King is a 19-song album that reimagines beloved hymns as modern worship anthems, featuring voices like CeCe Winans, Crowder, Jenn Johnson, and Ben Fuller. Tommee opens up about why he felt urgently called to make this project, and what it felt like to score the moment Jesus walked out of the tomb.

Cinematic worship, the power of hymns, and a God the world desperately needs right now: Tommee shares why he believes the rich theology of classic hymns still has everything to say to a new generation, how a Friday night in a Michigan basement with his friend NF changed the trajectory of both their careers, and why after years of working in the mainstream music world, this album feels like a full-circle moment he did not see coming but could not ignore.

Highlights
How The Birth of a King Christmas album led to the idea for an Easter equivalent
What cinematic sound means and why orchestral weight changes the way we experience worship
What we lose when the church stops singing hymns and why their theology still matters
The story of how a casual Friday night with NF led to a record deal and a career-defining moment
The first time he heard his music in a Will Smith movie trailer and what that moment meant
How 5 million monthly Spotify streams reflect a life built on making music that is emotional and powerful
Why Resurrection of a King marks a full-circle shift back to his roots as a worship leader
