The Birth of God Stories Radio®:
Back in July 2008, Mike Jewett received a message when he was fasting to get closer to God. It wasn’t just a vision, but rather a word that God gave him…”RADIO”.

2 Corinthians 3:7 New Living Translation (NLT) – Mission Statement - God Offers Comfort to All
3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. 4 He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. 5 For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. 6 Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer. 7 We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us.

Mike Jewett:
Two years prior, Mike had been stripped of everything he knew, his marriage, home, friends, car, job, possessions, etc. It was now July 2008, and a few days earlier he had been introduced to Dr. Charles Stanley’s radio message. Mike was only a month away from his two year anniversary of his “Joseph calling” phase of life where everything had been stripped away from him. He decided to start a three day fast in order to prayerfully seek God for answers as to what His will was for his life.
The next day Mike awoke and saw a vision of the word “RADIO” in black letters. He was confused and wondered “What was that!?”. The following day he heard another radio message from Dr. Charles Stanley that stated “if you are not sure on something God has shown or spoken to you, you can ask Him.” (Paraphrased) That night Mike asked The Father, “You know I am not good at puzzles and riddles, so what was this RADIO thing about”? The very next morning, the same word “RADIO” came again, but this time in bigger and bolder black letters. This time Mike understood what God was saying. He said to his heavenly Father, with chills up and down his spine, “Thank You, now that’s confirmation”. God has continued to line things up ever since forGod Stories Radio’sministry.

Mark St. Clair:
A great friend of the show, who was instrumental in encouraging Mike to pursue God’s vision of God Stories Radio. Mark was the Co-founder of Solomon’s Porch Radio, a Christian based podcast where the hosts would discuss modern day issues. Through a mutual friend Mike was introduced to Mark because of his podcasting background. Mike quickly realized through speaking with Mark that he needed another person, a number 2, to help him get this off the ground. Mark agreed to pray about it with Mike. Mike avoided Mark for many weeks because he knew he would have to answer to him. Finally one day he bumped into him at the church. Mike had not received his answer but both agreed to continue praying about it. To Listen to Mark’s personal testimony, please click on Sessions

Fritz: Amrhein
One day Fritz walked into a Real Freedom/Celebrate Recovery session being offered at the local church. Mike happened to be greeting at the door that night, but didn’t ordinarily use to greet. He saw Fritz approaching and noticed his depressed demeanor and broken spirit. He asked him “How are you doing brother?” and Fritz replied “I’m Tired”. Mike’s eyes immediately grew to the size of half dollars, he understood and knew the intent of what Fritz truly meant, because he had been in the same place two years prior. The two of them quickly became good friends. Mike has never left Fritz’s side since that moment. One day, Fritz and Mike decided to meet up for dinner at a local Denny’s. They started talking and soon Mike expressed his vision to Fritz. Mike didn’t realize, but Fritz had a strong background in productions and use to work at radio station. He suggested to Mike that he come over to his apartment and they set up a couple of microphones, record and see what happens. A prayer was realized and GSR was born! Fritz was instrumental in technically coordinating, managing and producing all of the God Stories Radio episodes. Fritz truly understood the meaning of Mike’s vision of “RADIO” and was determined to help him. Fritz and Mike have been extremely close friends since they met and Mike was even a groomsman in Fritz and Tina’s wedding. To Listen to Fritz’s testimony, please click on Session 54.

Tina: Amrhein
Tina’s introduction to GSR started when she was dating Fritz in 2014. Fritz invited her over to observe a GSR session with himself, Mike, and Tricia. At this time GSR was being done at a kitchen table in Fritz’s small apartment. Soon, Tina became a regular visitor to the GSR kitchen studio. Later in 2015 once Fritz and Tina were married, God gave Fritz the idea and vision of a studio for GSR in their home. He had a humble (but very cool!) studio created in their home and the rest is history. Tina took over filling in as Host for Tricia when she left for law school in 2016. Tina has seen it as part of her calling to support Fritz and the GSR ministry as much as possible. To Listen to Tina’s testimony, please click on Session 96
