Episode 4 Stories of His Glory Podcast is now live! What a powerful story of how God revealed himself to Ev & Teri and the impact that they've had since surrendering to Christ!

Ev was a coach that pushed his athletes to get results for both the team and themselves. Teri owned a flower shop and supported her husband as he coached.

After surrendering their lives to Jesus in 2004, God gave them a new mission: to be transformational influences with their lives. That eventually led them both to leading the ministry of FCA on the campus of UND.
