Jay Martin
Toronto is home to world-class talent, and Jay Martin's multi-faceted finesse is no exception. Some call him The Renaissance Man for his many talents in comedy, event production, community work, and more. Some call him Canada's own Steve Harvey, because of his reputation for having audiences rolling in the aisles with a clean comedy act. There is no other comic in Canada capable of doing the same. Martin has toured with Russell Peters, Jamie Foxx, Brian McKnight and Kirk Franklin. Martin is also a skilled event producer, bringing quality comedy events to audiences in Canada, America, and the Caribbean. Audiences know that Jay Martin's shows and events are not to be missed, because they want what only he can provide – a rich and high-quality entertainment experience. He is a refreshing storyteller and an acute life observer who has an uncanny ability to make the mundane routine of our everyday lives something to laugh at. Drawing from his own personal life experiences, whether it be from his stubborn Jamaican dad or one of his four children, Martin takes you on a comedic journey like none other. http://jaymartinent.com

"Today's Program Originally Aired on March 4, 2020 - prior to Physical Distancing Mandates"
You are constantly grasping for something — something that can give you more than what you have now. It is an endless longing, a desire for something else. And you keep thinking to yourself, there has to be more to life than just this. So, what if we told you that there is more — that God wants to give you more. He wants you to experience a life beyond what you are currently thinking of —a life far better than you could ever imagine. A life found in the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is here and He wants you to experience all that He has to offer. There is more. Right here. Right now. Join 1500 young adults from across Canada on Saturday March 7, 2020 as we journey through The Gospel of Matthew and discover this beautiful invitation into the Kingdom of God. http://fluidgathering.com

Rick Wilson
One of Rick’s favorite sayings used to be a phrase credited to President Harry S Truman: “You can accomplish anything in life, provided that you do not mind who gets the credit.” Rick was good at living life that way and reasoned it to be consistent with God’s call to humility. That seed developed strong roots that grew from a will to rely on his own abilities to manage everything in life. However, on August 9, 2019 life changed forever for Rick, and his family, when he received the diagnosis that he had ALS (often referred to as Lou Gehrig’s Disease), a terminal neurodegenerative disease with no known cure. Rick recalls that the only real choice their family had was how it would change them? Would they run to the Lord or run away from Him? Rick chose to run to Him and that has made all the difference. You will be encouraged as you listen to Rick share his story of how God transformed his mindset from “I can do all things” to a true completion of Philippians 4:13 “…through Christ who strengthens me.”

Karen Ward
After 20 years of working for Camp Mini-Yo-We, Karen Ward was presented with a brand-new opportunity – an invitation to run children’s camps in a remote Indigenous community in Ontario. At first, she said “no” refusing to travel anywhere north of Thunder Bay! Yet it was her father, who worked for World Vision, who persisted she visit with the purpose of meeting the Chief and the people, and thus giving them a starting plan. She was shocked by what she saw that first day driving into the community and couldn’t believe that places like this existed in Ontario and Canada. When it comes to walking out reconciliation, Karen’s story will challenge you to talk less, listen more and ask the question “How best can I help?” For 19 years, Karen continues to lead Burning Stone Ministries, advocating for Indigenous people in the community of Mishkeegogamang Ojibway First Nation in northern, ON. https://www.burningstoneministries.com/

Jin Choi
Jin joins us to share how God has been leading her life journey ever since she invited Jesus into her heart, and how this had led to the purpose and impact of the “On Water Podcast” which she hosts. Jin has shared that most of her stories and experiences have come out of the act of pursuing God in a bold, fearless and uncomfortable way. Just as Peter walking on water was more than just an example of stepping out in faith, it was an active denial of his own understanding of the world and what is possible when we trust that God can do more.
Jin would like to encourage those who have chosen to be spectators of God’s work to get up and believe that they can be active participants in the powerful move of God around them.
