This is HIS Story
Welcome to This Is HIS Story, a podcast featuring honest conversations with people whose faith, calling, hardship, and life experiences have become a mission to serve others.
Host Todd Turner talks with nonprofit founders, ministry leaders, Bible teachers, counselors, missionaries, advocates, and everyday people who are pouring out God’s grace to hurting people around the world.
Each episode explores the moments that shaped their story: the calling they could not ignore, the need they stepped into, the people they serve, and the ways they have seen God work through ordinary obedience.
From those feeding the hungry and serving the vulnerable to those teaching Scripture, counseling the wounded, building ministries, and pulling people out of dark places, This Is HIS Story points listeners back to the true Author of every redemptive story.
Todd Turner has spent much of his life helping faith-based organizations communicate clearly, grow generosity, and build ethical digital fundraising strategies that support Kingdom work.
Listen in to discover meaningful ministries, inspiring people, and real stories of God at work.
