What does it look like when faith becomes real? Not the cleaned-up version — the actual moments when doubt, pain, or a quiet Tuesday morning changed everything. Each episode, Joe Coffey sits down with someone whose faith has been shaped by Jesus and asks them to tell the truth about it. No scripts. No easy answers. Just honest conversations about what it means to follow Jesus in an ordinary life.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Faith Stories | Pastor Joe Coffey and Chuck Fuenning
Q: When did you first feel like there was a God, and how did that transition from intellect to faith occur?
He describes a long, gradual process: intellectual questioning and exposure to Christian thinkers, then a personal sense that Christianity fit his life's purpose and values, with a late-90s moment of clarity rather than a single dramatic event.
Faith Stories | Pastor Joe Coffey and Chuck Fuenning
Q: Tell me about the story with the 16-year-old patient who influenced you.
The patient, Brian, was dying of osteosarcoma, and his unwavering faith and willingness to share the love of Jesus even in pain deeply impacted the doctor, illustrating how faith can be witnessed through grace under suffering.
Faith Stories | Pastor Joe Coffey and Mark Lori
Q: When did the period of faith really click for you?
The faith transition was gradual, sparked by my environment, the people I spent time with, and ultimately choosing to prioritize a relationship with God over a purely religious form.
Faith Stories | Pastor Joe Coffey and Mark Lori
Q: So which one were you in that order?
I was the sixth of eight kids, and I gradually moved into sports and later into faith after meeting Trish, which reshaped my priorities and life path.
