John Wayne never planned on becoming part of the front lines of revival. He hesitantly showed up to serve coffee at our Oklahoma baptism revival… and never left.

John was adopted at a young age after CPS removed him from his birth mother who was struggling with drugs. Growing up with a difficult start, God still had a plan.

What began as a simple act of obedience turned into a calling.

From baptism assistant to becoming our main EMS on site at revivals across the country, John shares how God redeemed his story, strengthened his faith, and placed him exactly where he was needed.

This episode is a powerful reminder that God can take any past and turn it into purpose.

In this deeply moving episode of In the Water, Kayla sits down with Cryste — a mother who faced unthinkable loss just days before the Tennessee Revival.

Her daughter passed away, yet she and her husband still showed up to serve Jesus. Through their grief, they found peace, purpose, and a renewed fire to minister to others.

This is more than a story of loss — it’s a testimony of faith that endures when everything else falls apart.

If you’ve ever walked through pain, grief, or heartbreak, this conversation will remind you: God is still near, and His purpose still stands.
