Breakthrough

BREAKTHROUGH is based on the inspirational true story of one mother’s unfaltering love in the face of impossible odds. When Joyce Smith’s adopted son John falls through an icy Missouri lake, all hope seems lost. But as John lies lifeless, Joyce refuses to give up. Her steadfast belief inspires those around her to continue to pray for John’s recovery, even in the face of every case history and scientific prediction. From producer DeVon Franklin (Miracles from Heaven) and adapted for the screen by Grant Nieporte (Seven Pounds) from Joyce Smith’s own book, BREAKTHROUGH is an enthralling reminder that faith and love can create a mountain of hope, and sometimes even a miracle.

Opening in theaters nationwide on April 17th.  See the trailer.

John Smith (the real John Smith!!!) joined me for a few minutes on the show.  Take a moment to listen to his inspiring story.

SC’s “Heartbeat Bill”

John McCravy represents District 13 (Greenwood) in the South Carolina House of Representatives.  Rep. McCravy is the sponsor of  the SC Fetal Heartbeat Protection from Abortion Act (H.3020), better known as the “Heartbeat Bill.” Unfortunately, we find ourselves in a fight to save unborn lives. You may have heard in the news that heartbeat bills have passed in other states like Georgia and Ohio. The introduction and passage of these bills are partly in  response to New York’s aggressive pro-choice bill which allows an unborn child to be aborted up until its live birth. This is important legislation and we need to support leaders like Rep. McCravy who are leading this fight for life. Take a minute to listen as I visit with Rep. McCravy and then call your legislator.[podcast src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/9448073/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/5474d5/” height=”90″ width=”100%” placement=”bottom” theme=”custom”]
