The Seeds of Legacy – A Dedication to Cody & Bonnie

Episode Summary

Welcome to the first episode of Crazy Unbelievable Faith, hosted by Brian and Kersha Owen. In a world where people often feel stuck—spiritually, emotionally, relationally—this podcast creates a space for hope, honesty, and deep connection. And in this debut episode, Brian and Kersha do more than just introduce a show—they invite you into the very heart of their story. This powerful opening conversation is a dual dedication to two pivotal figures in their lives: ➡️ Cody Brantley — Brian’s childhood best friend, a brother in faith, and an unexpected spiritual catalyst. ➡️ Bonnie Walker — Kersha’s grandmother, a wise, nurturing presence whose encouragement still echoes in their hearts. Through raw storytelling and heartfelt remembrance, they share how one “yes” over a decade ago became a seed that God used to open door after door—transforming their marriage, family, career paths, and most importantly, their faith. ⸻ 🔑 What You’ll Experience in This Episode: • A heartfelt tribute to Cody Brantley—how his joyful spirit, commitment to growth, and love for life sparked a mentorship chain that changed the Owens’ lives forever. • A celebration of Bonnie Walker’s legacy—her quiet strength, unwavering encouragement, and enduring impact as a godly grandmother. • The story behind the podcast and book—why Crazy Unbelievable Faith was birthed, and how it’s a direct result of relational seeds planted years ago. • A message about grief and purpose—how to hold onto dreams shared with those we’ve lost and honor them by living them out. • Faith in action—how God uses community, relationships, and obedience to shape our character and calling. ⸻ ✨ Favorite Moments: “You can count the seeds in an apple… but you can’t count the apples that come from one seed.” “You’re never forgotten until the last person speaks your name.” “A simple yes, 14 years ago, led to a multifaceted series of doors that only God could have orchestrated.” ⸻ 📚 Bonus Content & Behind the Scenes This episode also introduces the upcoming book, Crazy Unbelievable Faith, written by Kersha Owen. While the podcast shares stories from both Brian and Kersha, the book dives even deeper into the personal journeys, spiritual challenges, and redemptive moments that shaped their faith. ⸻ 🙏 Special Acknowledgements: Huge thanks to the people who helped make this podcast (and book) a reality: • Larry Levine – for connecting them to key mentors and opening publishing doors. • Chris Decker of CreatorSpark – for believing in the mission and helping bring the vision to life. • Kim Thompson-Pinder and RTI Publishing – for supporting the book and guiding the process with excellence. ⸻ 💡 Takeaways for the Listener: • Legacy is not about perfection—it’s about presence, faithfulness, and the seeds you plant. • You are never alone in your struggle. God meets you in your mess and sends people to walk with you. • Faith is not just a belief system—it’s an invitation to live fully, love boldly, and say yes to the unknown. • Your story matters. And sometimes, the courage to say yes changes not just your life, but generations to come. ⸻ 🎧 Listen + Connect ✅ Subscribe now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. 📩 Sign up at crazyunbelievablefaith.com for exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the book, podcast updates, and the growing Crazy Unbelievable Faith community. 🗣️ Share this episode with someone who needs to be reminded that faith—no matter how crazy or unbelievable—can still move mountains.
