Episode 112: Serving Where God Calls You
Billy Hallowell is a journalist and host with the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) and Faithwire, where he gets to communicate God’s truth through people’s stories. His passion for media kick-started following the Columbine School shooting in 1999. Shaken from this event, Billy wondered what he could do to help prevent something like this from happening at his own high school. You’ll hear how this spark ignited Billy’s journalism career. While he has been a Christian for most of his life, Billy says it wasn’t until his 30’s that his heart and head connected, and he learned to surrender his days and follow God’s calling over his life rather than his own desires.
