In this episode of Rooftop Perspectives, John Whaley sits down with Abby Walner — a 26-year-old Gen Z evangelist living and ministering in New York City. Abby is the founder of the Worldwide Fast, a leader of New York Will Be Saved, and host of the Forever on Fire podcast. She shares her journey from drifting away from faith in high school to encountering Jesus in a radically transforming way, and what it looks like to live fully surrendered to him in one of the world's most secular cities. From organizing a major evangelistic event on Coney Island to calling believers into prayer and fasting, Abby's story is a bold reminder that the simple gospel still changes everything.

In this episode of Rooftop Perspectives, John Whaley sits down with Emily Wilburn Andrews — CEO of Wilburn Medical Supply and a woman who discovered that the boardroom can be just as much a mission field as any overseas assignment. At 26, Emily stepped into leadership of her family's healthcare distribution company, a calling she never saw coming. Having fallen in love with Jesus in college and spent years doing mission work around the world, God redirected her path — not away from mission, but deeper into it. Emily shares what it looks like to surrender the workplace to Christ, ask whether people feel the presence of God when they encounter you, and lead a company with eternity in mind. A powerful conversation for anyone navigating faith and work.

In this episode of Rooftop Perspectives, John Whaley shares a replay of his powerful conversation with Lonnie Riley — a man who, in 1999, left a fruitful ministry in Mississippi with no plan, no strategy, and no resources, simply because God called him to Lynch, Kentucky. What followed over the next 25 years is a remarkable testimony of what it looks like to trust God one step at a time. Lonnie's story challenges the tendency to want the full roadmap before taking the first step — and reminds us that it's in our obedience that God reveals the next part. If you've ever wrestled with trusting God in the unknown, this conversation is for you. You'll want to have a pen ready.
