Tom Rudelius was a top student at an Ivy League school, triple-majoring in physics, math, and statistical science, and had never given much thought to God. Maybe He existed... or maybe not... but there probably wasn't any real way to tell. But then one day, Tom began looking for proof, and ended up finding faith.

This is Part 2 of Lori Apon’s story. Make sure to listen to Part 1 first. Lori met Bobby Apon, the love of her life at a Christian concert. He was one of the founding members of NewSong, an upcoming Christian music group. Bobby was young, charismatic, and good-looking, and quickly swept Lori off her feet. After a romance and engagement that seemed straight out of a fairytale, they were married. But at the wedding altar, both Lori and Bobby were in bondage to sin. Lori carried an eating disorder, stemming from her desire to be in control. And Bobby was addicted to lust and pornography. Both of them loved Jesus and wanted to be free... but it was a struggle for both of them... especially for Bobby, who was always on the road with NewSong, performing Christian concerts. No one in the band knew what he was going through, and not a soul in their audiences listening every night were aware of Bobby's inner turmoil that haunted him. But as Lori would discover, as painful and devastating the consequences of sin may be, even greater is the power of God to restore the lost and redeem what was broken.

Ron Husband grew up in California during the 50s and 60s. And he'd heard about Jesus... but he also heard about flying saucers and ancient civilizations. What was the truth? And would this truth have any bearing when he was invited to draw moving pictures for a random children's company called... Disney?
