The stories we grew up with have a way of hanging on. Like old friends, they settle deep in our hearts, shaping us, nudging us, becoming part of who we are. This is the second part of our series highlighting people who have poured their lives into creating meaningful media for children.

Let me guess—you still remember your favorite episode of a show you watched growing up. Or maybe you could recite your favorite childhood book by heart. Kid’s media has a way of shaping us.

Hey, I'm Jason Rackow, director of Wow God Stories. I wanted to check in with you about something you've seen in the news recently. Just days after we spotlighted disaster relief through Eight Days of Hope, historic flash floods devastated Central Texas. More than 100 lives were lost, and many others are still missing. As families grieve, we turn to a powerful story of redemption shared by Eight Days of Hope’s founder, Steve Tybor. It’s the story of Caleb, a man who thought he was disqualified from being used by God. But in one holy moment, everything changed. A story of forgiveness. A story of purpose. A reminder that God can redeem even the most broken pasts.

Eight Days of Hope is an organization that rebuilds homes and serves people who are affected by natural and human disasters. It all started when Steve and his dad went to rebuild one person's home, which turned into 84 homes in just eight days. On today's episode, you'll hear... How Eight Days of Hope got started.  How God sent 6 young women to bring the Gospel to Miss Anna May. How a mysterious donor gave over $800,000. How one woman’s passion to fight human trafficking led to a new chapter for Eight Days of Hope. Maybe you've felt God's call to serve. Please volunteer: Home - Eight Days of Hope  

In life, we have mountaintop moments, as well as times in the valley. Where are you right now? Where do you want to be? ON today's episode of Wow God Stories, you'll hear how... Elle’s daughter Selah had a failing heart, but God had a plan to heal. Suzanne learned a lesson about “the in between” thanks to a single raspberry. And climbing a mountain wasn’t Averil’s dream, but something she believes God put on her heart in order to help widows around the world.

You've probably found yourself in a humbling experience before, one where your pride is chiseled away. It's never fun, but being humble is something God calls us to. On today's episode of Wow God Stories, you'll hear how... Dallas wanted to win an Academy Award, but God humbled him with a box office flop that changed his perspective. Dave thought that missionaries were “first class Christians”, but a bold employee set him straight. And Zach showed obedience after being humbled over and over again.

Does God provide for His people? I'll give you a hint: He does. Today's episode is about provision, and you'll hear about how:  Mary Lou wanted to stockpile for the future, but God had a different idea. A stranger obeyed God and gave children's author, Bryan Davis, the money he needed. God supernaturally told Larry where to find money for gas. Stephen needed a place for his family to live, and God provided.

Sometimes, you run into the right person at the right time. When this happens, is it a coincidence? Or maybe, is it orchestrated by God? On today's episode of Wow God Stories, you'll hear how: God used a woman from Elisha’s church to prophecy a pregnancy. Greg encountered a young woman at the airport and told her something important. Christine judged a woman for her appearance but received a word from God.

If there's one thing to take away from today's episode, it's the fact that God shows up. Hey, I'm Rob, and I have 4 stories of God showing up before, during, and after car accidents. Here's what you can expect to hear about: Debra believes an angel saved her from electrocution after an accident. Chris and his girlfriend Linda cried out to Jesus in an accident, and both were saved (along with Sugar Babe the dog). McKayla’s car wouldn’t stop, but God was with her the entire time. Everything changed for Jonathan after a car accident that left him asking, “Why?”

Some of life's scariest moments can happen behind the wheel. Yet, in moments of fear, God shows up. On today's episode of Wow God Stories, you'll hear stories of car accidents that had miraculous implications. Sarah was pinned under a bus after a collision with an SUV but miraculously survived. Ireland miraculously survived a car crash unharmed as worship music played and her parents prayed life into her. Levi’s car caught fire, and he lost everything except for a wooden cross.
