Frequent Podcast Contributor, Bible Expositor

Follower of Jesus Christ

Mary attended Life Christian University in her pursuit of truth. She is a gifted and engaging speaker with an enthusiastic zest for learning from and teaching God's Word. Her passion for Christ is best explained in her own words, "I am hungry for the Word because I am hungry for its Author. My life has been radically transformed by the redeeming power of a God who graciously and persistently pursued me. By His Spirit and through His Word, I’ve come to know and love the Lord more and more. I can say with certainty that better is one day in His courts than a thousand days elsewhere. I believe that the Word of God is absolute truth. Jesus said that the words He spoke were spirit and life. He also said: 1) That people did not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. 2) That we are sanctified by truth: and His Word is Truth. 3) That when we know the truth, we will be made free. To this end, I intend to be a lifelong student of the Scriptures! It is my prayer that my life will glorify our Lord - in word, in thought, and in deed."

Follower of Jesus Christ

Lance VanTine is the Founder & CEO of P.E.A.C.E. of Mind which is a medical advocacy and transportation service. He was born in and raised in Muskegon, Michigan. He is an avid student of Apologetics and Theology. In his own words: “I believe faith to be the most important part of our lives. In this day and age, in the midst of darkness and false prophets and false doctrines, we need men and women to rise up and preach the truth boldly and unashamedly. Every great man and woman that allowed the Lord Jesus Christ to work through them was bold in the faith. They were not willing to conform to societies standards and ways. I believe that God is once again beginning to call and raise up a holy remnant. To live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21). Being conformed into the image of Christ and living for the Lord and for His glory is the life that is worth living. I pray the Lord speaks through me with what is to come in my writings, and together may we grow in Him and take what we have learned and minister to others. May we forever have eternity’s values in view, and may we always be motivated to live the life of soul-winning; by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
