  • From Addiction to Calling: How God Transforms Broken Boys | Teen Challenge Director John Steigerwald
    Jun 29 2026

    What does God do with a broken family, a rebellious teenager, and a mother who prays? In this episode of Rooftop Perspectives, John Whaley sits down with John Steigerwald — Executive Director of the North Carolina Boys Academy, a Teen Challenge ministry dedicated to helping adolescent boys overcome addiction and life-controlling problems through the power of Jesus Christ. John shares his own journey: growing up in addiction-filled home on Long Island, coming to faith at 16, and spending decades watching God restore what seemed beyond repair. He also speaks candidly to the crisis facing young men and families today — and what it looks like to trust God when you don't know what to do. His takeaway will stay with you: ask God to open your eyes to where he is working, and join him there.

Abby is the founder of the Worldwide Fast, a leader of New York Will Be Saved, and host of the Forever on Fire podcast. She shares her journey from drifting away from faith in high school to encountering Jesus in a radically transforming way, and what it looks like to live fully surrendered to him in one of the world's most secular cities. From organizing a major evangelistic event on Coney Island to calling believers into prayer and fasting, Abby's story is a bold reminder that the simple gospel still changes everything.

  • The Marketplace as Mission Field: Emily Wilburn Andrews on Leading a Business for God's Glory
    Jun 15 2026

    In this episode of Rooftop Perspectives, John Whaley sits down with Emily Wilburn Andrews — CEO of Wilburn Medical Supply and a woman who discovered that the boardroom can be just as much a mission field as any overseas assignment. At 26, Emily stepped into leadership of her family's healthcare distribution company, a calling she never saw coming. Having fallen in love with Jesus in college and spent years doing mission work around the world, God redirected her path — not away from mission, but deeper into it. Emily shares what it looks like to surrender the workplace to Christ, ask whether people feel the presence of God when they encounter you, and lead a company with eternity in mind. A powerful conversation for anyone navigating faith and work.
