Jack Hibbs, pastor of Calvary Chapel (Chino Hills, CA) and heard weekdays at 9am on "Real Life Radio with Jack Hibbs" on WFIL, joins the show for the first time ever :)! We cover a lot of ground, from his testimony to unlikely start as a pastor, with thoughts on boldness, political responsibility, his book Living In The Daze of Deception, and the greatest prayer he has found to pray for others (and wishes to be prayed for him). Pastor Hibbs is also very excited about the recently-formed Real Life Network (www.reallifenetwork.com) featuring Christian teaching & programming 24/7/365, offered free.

On a related note, "Real Life Radio" is WFIL's "Ministry of the Month" for August. Receive a free download titled "Countdown: All Eyes on God's Ultimate Endgame" with an opportunity at other prizes on our home page at www.wfil.com. :)

Dr. Sharen Ford (Director, Foster Care & Adoption with Focus on the Family) also checks in to share about Focus' "Suitcase Bundle" program that has provided thousands of children with a 30-inch duffel bag (on wheels). Inside are three special items that serve as practical support & a constant reminder of each child's value to God even as their life circumstances may be in flux. We also talk a bit about the film Sound of Hope: the Story of Possum Trot (based on the book Small Town, Big Miracle published by Focus on the Family in 2007). More information (including how you and your church can be involved) is available at www.waitnomore.org.
