Shownotes

In this episode of Stories of His Glory, we sit down with Jeff Martin, Chief Strategy Officer for FCA and founder of Fields of Faith.

Jeff shares the powerful story of how God used his concerns for the next generation, a passage from 2 Chronicles 34, and the boldness of students to spark a movement that now spans across the nation.

From experiences in his own faith journey to lessons learned in ministry and leadership, Jeff explains how one moment of obedience can create not just a ripple effect, but a wave of transformation in the hearts of young people.

Topics include:

  • Jeff’s personal faith story and call to ministry
  • The early days of FCA and the heart behind Fields of Faith
  • How God used a student’s courage (and a samurai sword!) to inspire thousands
  • Why uniting the local church matters more than ever
  • Encouragement for anyone called to step out in faith

Verse of the Day:

"Throughout his reign they did not turn aside from following the Lord, the God of their ancestors." - 2 Chronicles 34:33b
