Scripture Frames for Life - Steven SnookSteven Snook’s first memories are of life were in Virginia foster care, before being taken to his then-new home in Danville, Illinois. There, he grew up in extreme poverty over the course of his upbringing. By the age of 15, he was involved with drugs. After turning 19, he was transporting marijuana from South Texas into Central Illinois. And by 26, he was arrested by the DEA for smuggling cocaine and sentenced to 22 years in the federal prison system. Over the course of that time, he was transferred to eight different federal facilities across states like Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia. That included time in solitary confinement, serving an entire year in solitary during one period. For most people, that would sound like a harsh punishment. But Steven says, that for him, it turned into an opportunity.  Two years prior to Snook’s release, he recounts a series of vivid dreams. In them, he says, God showed him frames with rotating images of scripture inside, hanging on the walls of homes. I’ll let him share with us now, “the rest of the story” about what has become, “Rapha Frames.”  Help me welcome to the program, Steven Snook. Steven, thank you for taking the time to join us today. I’ve been excited about having this interview with you since you first reached out to me. Welcome to the program.While you were in prison, God gave you a dream. What was that dream and what are you doing with it now?How many scriptures are included in your Scripture Frames?What was one of the major obstacles you faced while creating the Scripture Frames?Now that you have launched your business, how has it grown?What is the next level of growth that you are looking for?Is there anything you would like to add? Perhaps something I did not ask?Steven, you are an inspiration to so many people. I’ve always said that a person cannot minister effectively to those that have issues or facing problems unless they, themselves, have gone through the same situations. Your life story laid the foundation for what you are doing today. That’s not saying all that happened before was great – but it all brought you to where you are today.  You would not be reaching the people with the Word of the Lord today IF you had not gone through those processes.Folks, Steven is using his “God given talents” to further his “God given Dream.” Amen!  You have dream and talents inside of you that are unique to YOU – but will be able to make an impact in this world that nobody else can make. Only you. I urge you to drop down into the show notes below and reach out to Steven Snook today. Get in touch with him. Support his company as they fulfill their dream to “Get the Word Out” into all the earth through these “Scripture Frames.” The links are right there.  These would make a great gift for you mom or dad, grandparents, aunts, uncles and even yourself!  Praise God!CONTACT INFORMATION:Email:   [email protected]:   https://jesusspeaksllc.com/Mentioned in this episode:FaithCaster AcademyTake your business to the next level and check out FaithCaster Academy!

The God Walk App - Daniel KrynzelDaniel Krynzel lost everything in the crash of 2008. Everything. He lost the house, the cars, the toys, the money and also, custody of his children. He lost it all… As many do, alcoholism also entered the scene… I know, I’ve been there too. But, once he was sober, he started back into the mortgage business and had massive success. He then branched off into coaching others on how to use a lead generation system that helped to make him successful – again.  But, he still felt empty and unfilled.That is when he started to take long walks just to fellowship with God. He soon found he was getting Godly inspiration on these walks that felt like direct downloads from God with instructions on what he was to do next. And he continued to be blessed and he continued to take his “walks with God.”Daniel is here today to share about his story about his “God Walk App” and the “Men of God Program” he has started.CONTACT INFORMATION:Website:  https://www.godspeedwithdaniel.com/Links to the full length interview on the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast: XE3YL1U5wDqAIpc5MFRJMentioned in this episode:Faith-Based Business NewsletterSubscribe to the weekly Faith-Based Business Newsletter for just $5 per month! https://faithbasedbiz.substack.com FaithCaster AcademyTake your business to the next level and check out FaithCaster Academy!
