Ep 41. Daniel Stone
“I realized that God sometimes tells us to do something, but then it doesn’t really pan out the way we think it’s going to, but then it drives us to do something else, and then it works out.”
Daniel Stone's earliest experiences with God were as simple as asking to be made well from a cold, but they laid the foundation for a trust that has allowed him to be led through uncertain paths to the destination he felt drawn to all along.

Ep 32. Imam Amir Salihovic
As a shy child in communist Yugoslavia, Amir Salihovic never pictured himself leading prayers as an Imam, especially since his teachers taught that there was no such thing as God. But as civil war broke out, he found himself driven by persecution to study more deeply the religion he was being persecuted for being a part of.
Now he leads an Islamic Society of Bosniaks, where he appreciates religious freedom and teaches his community to treasure their past while becoming proud, productive Americans.
