The Calling they couldn't Cancel | More Than Conquerors with Pastor Joe Delp

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2606833/fan_mail/new] "The Calling they couldn't Cancel" What happens when God calls you back to the city that broke you? Pastor Joe Delp grew up in a godly home, rebelled hard, and on October 12, 2010 — Jesus Christ saved his soul. That salvation launched him into ministry, Bible college, marriage, and a bold church plant in Northeast Philadelphia. But the road got dark fast. A church merger that promised everything fell apart in betrayal and slander. Joe resigned, packed up his family, and drove out of Philly in a U-Haul — broken, bitter, and running from God. What followed was a Jonah season he's brutally honest about: a closed Bible, a struggling marriage, depression, and a desperate pursuit of a different calling. Until God slammed every door shut and brought him to his knees. God's will cannot be stopped! This episode is about what happens after .... Revival & Restoration and a second church plant — ChristLife Baptist Church [https://www.facebook.com/people/ChristLife-Baptist-Church/61583926940800/] — that launched March 15, 2026 with 92 people in attendance and 6 souls saved on the very first Sunday. If you've ever been hurt by the church, run from God, or wondered if He's still writing your story — this one is for you.

"Back in Tune" | More Than Conquerors Victor Marshall

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2606833/fan_mail/new] Victor had a promising future in college and with music. He grew up in a Christian home but like many, he lost his way. What happens when you grow up in church, do everything "right," and still find yourself completely lost? Victor Marshall knows that story well. After leaving for a Christian college with big plans, Vic spent years drifting — skipping meals, skipping class, and skipping God — stuck in a season of stagnation he couldn't seem to escape. In this episode, Vic opens up about the depression he rarely names, the moment at a beach lounge that made him take personal inventory, and how one decision to get back in church changed everything — leading to professional singing opportunities, the wife God had for him all along, and a ministry to the next generation he never saw coming. If you've ever felt like you're going through the motions, or wondered how to find your way back, this one's for you. Today's test is tomorrow's testimony. Looking for Hope?

"Textbook Faith" | More Than Conquerors with Nick Gresh

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2606833/fan_mail/new] Teacher. Husband. Dad. Cancer survivor. Nick Gresh never expected all those roles to collide at once. Diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkin's lymphoma during the very week he began a new teaching position at First Philadelphia Preparatory Charter School [https://www.ap-schools.org/First-Phila-Prep/], Nick fought to stay grounded for his wife and toddler daughter while navigating chemo treatments, mounting medical bills, and a marriage being tested like never before. From his early days at St. Gabriel's Hall  [https://montco.today/2026/05/st-gabriels-hall-sells-14-5m/]to his current role as Athletic Director at Valley Forge Baptist Academy [https://vfba.org/admission-procedures/], Nick's career has always been about pouring into young lives — but it took a cancer diagnosis to show him how much he still needed to learn about surrender. What does it look like to trust God when you're too sick to get off the bathroom floor? How do you keep a marriage together when the trial is bigger than both of you? And what happened when the bills finally arrived — all $200,000 of them? "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways." — Isaiah 55:9 Guided by scriptures including Proverbs 3:5-6, 1 Peter 5:6-7, Romans 12:1-2, and Isaiah 40:31, Nick shares how God's provision showed up in ways he never could have planned — and why he refused to let a diagnosis write his story.

Restored & Rebuilt: Stephen & Tonya George on Faith, Divorce, and Finding Love Again

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2606833/fan_mail/new] What happens when two people survive divorce, lean into God, and find each other on a dating app they were both about to delete? This week, Lou sits down with Stephen and Tanya George — newlyweds with a story that is anything but ordinary. Between them, they have six kids, two painful divorces, and a faith that was tested, broken, and rebuilt from the ground up. Tanya's 10-year-old son Cole set the ground rules before she even started dating: "Mom, you only need to ask one question — do they believe in Jesus as their Lord and Savior?" That simple standard changed everything. In this episode, Stephen and Tanya open up about infidelity, the loneliness of single parenting, what it looks like to seek Christ first in a blended family, and how God used a halfway-point church to bring two broken families together into one. They also share how their restoration business — My Water Damage Hero [https://www.mywaterdamagehero.blog/ourstory] — is a daily reflection of what God did in their own lives. If you're in a blended family, navigating divorce, or wondering if God still has something good ahead for you — this one's for you. Topics covered: * Dating after divorce with faith as the filter * Navigating blended family dynamics with grace * Running a Christ-centered business * How the local church became their lifeline * Finding hope when you feel like quitting More Than Conquerors Podcast is hosted by Lou Lepore.
