Description
Musician, Broadcaster, radio host, Journalist; John Tesh has a long list of accolades and accomplishments. He became a household name as co-host of the television show "Entertainment Tonight" for a decade starting in the mid-80's. His classic good looks; tall, blond hair, blue eyes and affable personality plus that velvety voice gave him staying power in an industry that is fickle at best. But while his career seemed heaven-sent, underneath all his successes loomed a host of failures, missteps and doubts. His faith at first nominal, grew over the years with the help of his wife, actress Connie Sellecca. But in recent years bloomed with intensity as he faced the greatest challenge of his life, cancer. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Tesh talks about his life of struggles and triumphs, and his victory over one of the most dreaded diseases, which he recounts in his book, Relentless: Unleashing a Life of Purpose, Grit and Faith. Tesh is a shining example of how God's power works with us, through us, and for us.

Right after recording this podcast he took off for Rome to cover the controversial three-week Amazon Synod, or meeting of Bishops, going on at the Vatican. Although we briefly discuss the synod, George has bigger things on his agenda, like the past 250 years of Catholic Church history and why we should look at four very important events in those years that have had a profound influence on the Church today. First, in 1849 a Pope's first step on U.S Sovereign soil; Next, the resulting document of the Second Vatican Council in 1965; Third, John Paul II's return to Poland in 1979 giving a fiery sermon in an in-your-face moment to Communist leaders; and finally, in 2007, a little known document coming from a gathering of Church leaders in Brazil... one of the chief signatories by Lighthouse Faith
