Trusting God in the Unexpected | Kevin Kolbe’s Journey from Media to Ministry

Trusting God in the Unexpected | Kevin Kolbe’s Journey from Media to Ministry

What do you do when the job you thought was secure suddenly disappears?

For Kevin Kolbe, a 30+ year veteran of the media industry, that moment came when he was laid off unexpectedly. But instead of panic, God gave him peace. In this deeply encouraging episode of the ActsSocial Podcast, Kevin shares how that closed door became the start of something far greater: a YouTube ministry that now reaches people around the world.

Through this conversation with host Shawn Whitson, Kevin shares:

  • His full-circle journey in radio and television — and why walking away was actually a walk into his calling

  • The miraculous story of his wife and son surviving a serious school bus crash — and the faith lessons that followed

  • The unique joys and challenges of raising a son with special needs, and how it shaped his view of God’s love

  • How God provided in surprising ways when the paychecks stopped — and why trust is more than a word

Whether you’re navigating career shifts, family challenges, or a call to step out in faith, this story will stir your heart and strengthen your trust in God’s plan.

🎧 Listen now and be inspired to trust God in your own “in-between” seasons.
