Logan shares how God turned a life-changing diving accident in 2014 into a powerful testimony and platform to encourage others. He reflects on his baptism at eight years old and how his understanding of Jesus’ sacrifice has deepened over time, using scripture like 1 John 5:9 to remind us that God’s testimony is greater than any human word. Logan also shares Philippians 4:13, which has helped him lean on Jesus’ strength. He encourages all believers to consider baptism as a life-changing step of obedience and renewal. Grab a cup of coffee and listen in—you’ll leave encouraged, reminded that your story matters, and ready to broadcast His love to those around you. Be sure to check out Logan’s book The Wheelchair Pulpit: How a Wheelchair Gave My Life Purpose on Amazon, and explore more of his story through his website and podcast.

Falling in Love with Reading the Bible Daily

9/9/2025
Hey friends — it’s Ricki and Riley here to encourage you to grab your Bible and make it part of your daily rhythm. Start simple: read a Proverb a day or dive into John’s Gospel, pray before you begin, and jot down a note or prayer as you go. We both share what’s worked for us over the years. We begin this episode by reading Deuteronomy 17:19: “And it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, by keeping all the words of this law and these statutes, and doing them.” This was an instruction Moses gave to Israel’s future kings — but it applies to us today too! Read your Bible daily, keep God’s Word close, and live it out. How cool is that? We also look at Joshua 1:8, where God reminds us that walking in His Word brings success and blessing. God is so good to us! Make it real in your life — invite your kids to join in, journal in the margins, and don’t stress if you miss a day. God’s Word speaks into everything — wisdom, worry, joy — and He meets you in those small, daily moments. So pick up your Bible today, ask God to show you something new, and go out and broadcast His love — one page, one prayer at a time. Listen to more episodes at broadcasthislove.com.

She tells us how the LORD led her to create clinically-backed NutriSurgical Powder and dietitian-curated meal plans for surgery recovery. Connect with Kylie below! MEDIA: https://www.sulinu.com/pages/press IG: https://www.instagram.com/sulinu.nutrition/ ```html Hey y'all, this is Ginger DeVries, guest number 56 of the podcast encouraging you today to use your position to broadcast God's love. God's word says, whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. We pray this episode is an encouragement to you to go out and use your position to broadcast His love. From Scotto Albritton Studios, here's your host, Ricki. Hey, everyone, and welcome to Broadcast His Love. This is a podcast where we talk about what life looks like when we decrease our name and increase God's name, because it's all about Jesus living life on purpose with Him. And I'm so excited for today's conversation. It feels like this conversation is a seed that was planted about five years ago that is now budding and it has petals and it's a beautiful color of flower. And now we're just going to get to enjoy God's goodness of what he's grown. Kylie Bensley is on today. She's been a friend of mine for a while. We met at a Dave Ramsey conference with Christy Wright with the Business Boutique. She is the founder and CEO of Suli Nu, which is a nutrition-based company for cosmetic surgery. And so we're going to learn all about this company that she has founded and she's the CEO of and just what the Lord is doing through it. So how are you, Kylie? Ricki, it's so great. So wonderful that we get to chat because this has been, you are one of the few people that you've seen the whole journey of this. And so it's interesting that now we get to talk five years later. Yes, I mean. Five years later, like what is the Lord doing through your business? Oh, my goodness. Well, I have to say, I always say entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart because I always thought motherhood was the hardest. And I feel like entrepreneurship trumps that because you're challenged every single day in your character and in every single way, shape or form, you're challenged every day. So it's just been like this amazing journey of trying to, you know, figure out yourself, right? While you're trying to be successful. Yeah, I definitely get refined doing business. The wording that I use about entrepreneurship is entrepreneurship is not for wussies. There's no way that you can. Oh, man. And the refinement that takes place in owning a business that the Lord just every single day is like refining and taking off large chunks. Like he's, you know, the whole, the John 15 story about I'm the vine, you're the branches and he's taking out the dead vines to grow new vines. Like that is every 15 minutes when you run a business, right? Every day, every single day. And I always, I'm always, I tell my husband, now I'm not crying every day. I'm just crying every other day, you know? And then, and then I just talk about the resilience that you, you learn, you learn such resilience. Things don't bother you as much. You learn how to bounce back. You learn how to fail every day. Yeah. You know, you just learn all these skills that really no, nothing else teaches you, you know? It's true. So it's, yeah, it's incredible. Okay. Tell us about what you do. Like what is Suli Nu? Yeah. So Suli Nu, so what we say is, you know, every woman wants a beautiful recovery from plastic surgery, but they never know what to eat or what supplements to take in order to have a beautiful incision and a beautiful recovery. And they're always overwhelmed as to what to choose. But SuliNu gives you all the tools you need from nutritional tools in order to have a beautiful incision and a better recovery from cosmetic surgery.
