Building Your Business with Sara Troy and her guest Terisse Louise Bell Walker. On air from

For more than four decades, I’ve watched hardworking families and business owners do everything “right,” yet still find themselves financially vulnerable when life unexpectedly changes. After experiencing personal loss, career transitions, and becoming a caregiver for my aging mother, I discovered that my greatest purpose wasn’t simply building a business—it was building people. Today, I help individuals, families, and aspiring entrepreneurs create stronger financial foundations through education, protection, leadership, and business ownership opportunities. My message is simple: when we lead with purpose, serve with integrity, and invest in others, we don’t just change financial futures—we create legacies that impact generations.

IG26-31. Mark Springer, Gardens in the Galaxies

August 3, 2026August 5, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ignite your heart and soul with Sara Troy and her guest Mark Springer. On air from August 4th

A New Novel Explores What The World Would Be Like. If Adam & Eve Never Gave Into Temptation. What could life have been like for Adam and Eve if they had never disobeyed God?

This is the interesting premise of Gardens in the Galaxies, the new speculative fiction novel by Mark Springer. It’s his second work of fiction, following Flesh Becomes Words, the debut novel that blends science fiction with spirituality.

Join Adam and Eve in this fictional adventure as they await judgement and sentencing for the original sin of disobeying God. Travel back in time with the first couple and an angel named Josiah who shows them how life began on earth. Then move into an unrealized future of gardens in the galaxies, the high life that God had always planned for them and all of mankind. Finally, return with Adam and Eve to their present situation as you witness the judgement and sentencing of their eternal fate by an all-merciful but just God.

The book is speculative fiction; historical fiction that poses a question of what would have happened if a single event happened a different way. In this case, what would have happened if Adam and Eve did not disobey God in the Garden of Eden and bring about the fall of mankind?

“The foundation of the book is based on an assumption of the truth of the scriptures,” says author Springer, “and it explores the connection between Adam and Eve, the first Adam, and Jesus Christ, proclaimed in the scriptures as being the “last Adam” and what that means for all of us today.”

He also has crafted promotional content for the medical device, biotechnology, and life science industries. For the past nine years, he has been working for Gilead Sciences, including the last five as the manager and technical editor in labeling operations.

Prior to that, he served for two years, as the senior technical editor for BD Biosciences, editing all customer-read documents that met factual, legal and regulation requirements. He received a Special Achievement Recognition Award there. His career began as a senior technical writer and managing editor of technical publications for change management software at a startup company. The biggest portion of his career consisted of 19 years at Life Technologies, where his positions varied from senior science writer in brand marketing, senior manager in public relations, to senior writer in technical communications.

He is the author of Flesh Becomes Words, his debut novel that blends science fiction with spirituality. His first non-fiction book, Identity Theft, was published last year. His newest book is historical fiction, Gardens in the Galaxies.

Along with a colleague of his, he developed an online magazine in the late 1990s called BioBeat Online Magazine.

The articles were related to significant research and medical applications related to the use of DNA sequencing and genetic analysis technologies. He and his colleague won numerous Apex Publication awards for the content over this six-year period.

Springer graduated from University of California at Berkeley with a BA, double-majoring in Cell Biology and English Literature. He is deeply devoted to his faith, reading the Bible two to three hours daily. His books reflect both his science acumen and his dedication to faith.

IG26-31. Steven Cole & Catch the Wave

August 3, 2026August 3, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ignite Your Heart and Soul with Sara Troy and her guest Steven Cole, on air from August 4th

Catch the Wave: Experience the Thrill of Spirit Empowered Living, he shares his view that the Holy Spirit is not meant to remain a vague doctrine sitting at the edges of church life, but the active, guiding presence of God in the everyday life of believers. Cole says the modern church often talks about God the Father and Jesus while neglecting the Holy Spirit, even though the Spirit is presented as God’s presence, God’s voice, and God’s power on earth.
The book was developed from a Holy Spirit seminar that he presented at his church, a monthly two-hour seminar that he did for two years. He encourages readers to hear the voice of the Spirit. His main message is that ministry is not reserved for a select few. In his words, the whole point is that “you can minister, too.”

Catch the Wave begins with Cole’s own life story, because it serves as the foundation for everything that follows. He describes a lonely childhood marked by bullying, dyslexia, and a sense of being out of place. His first awareness of God comes in a small, almost ordinary moment: as a boy, he prays for help memorizing the Boy Scout oath and feels that God answers him. Later, in college, his life changes more dramatically when he attends a Christian gathering and hears the testimony of a man transformed through Teen Challenge. Cole is struck not by polished theology but by visible change; he wants what that speaker has found. That moment leads to his conversion, which he describes as overwhelming and deeply emotional. Soon after, he is introduced to the idea of baptism in the Holy Spirit, asks for prayer, and experiences what he understands as a second life-changing encounter with God. That pattern becomes the backbone of the whole book: first salvation, then empowerment.

July 27, 2026July 24, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Ignite your heart and soul with Sara Troy and her guest Patrick Marando, on air from July 28th

I am a psychologist, spiritual teacher, and author passionate about helping people reconnect with their authentic selves and cultivate greater peace, clarity, and emotional wellbeing. Drawing on both my professional expertise and my own journey of inner growth and transformation, I combine evidence-based psychology with timeless spiritual wisdom to share practical tools that help people navigate anxiety, stress, uncertainty, and the challenges of everyday life. Through my books, teachings, and healing work, my aim is to inspire people to move beyond limiting beliefs, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and live with greater purpose, freedom, and authenticity. My message is that lasting fulfilment comes not from trying to become someone else, but from awakening to the truth of who you already are.

My path to this work has been shaped by both professional training and a lifelong search to better understand the human mind, the nature of suffering, and what it truly means to live a fulfilling life. Along the way, my own experiences challenged me to look beyond conventional approaches and explore the deeper connection between psychology, spirituality, and self-awareness. Those experiences continue to inform the way I teach, write, and work with others today. Beyond my professional roles, I am someone who has always been driven by a desire to discover and express my own truth. This search for authenticity has flowed into every part of my life, from acting and screenwriting to writing, storytelling, and creating meaningful connections with others. Through creativity and human connection, I continue to explore what it means to be fully present, to embrace who we truly are, and to inspire others to discover and express their own unique truth.

RG26-29. Mike Canfield ED– Trouble? Take It On

July 20, 2026July 15, 2026Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Raising Our Gifted Children with Sara Troy and her guest Mike Canfield. On air from July 21st

My passion is helping children and families navigate life’s challenges in ways that build hope, resilience, and healthy relationships. Through stories, coloring books, and practical skill-building activities, I translate complex concepts such as emotions, behavior, trauma, and personal responsibility into language that children can understand and use. By bringing adults and children together through storytelling and creative activities, I create opportunities for meaningful conversations that strengthen connections and support positive growth. My work is designed to help families recognize that problems do not define who they are, and that with support, practice, and encouragement, every child and family has the ability to overcome challenges and build a brighter future.

My journey began in 1983 when my wife Beth and I became house parents for teenage boys who needed stability, guidance, and a place to belong. What started as a commitment to care for a few young people grew into a lifelong mission of supporting children and families facing adversity. Over the years, I served as a Child and Family Therapist, became a Washington State Aggression Replacement Training Trainer and Consultant, and took on leadership roles advocating for foster, adoptive, kinship, and biological families throughout Washington State. These experiences taught me that lasting change happens through relationships, practical skills, and the belief that every person has strengths that can be developed.

Today, as the Executive Director of Family Success Northwest, I continue that mission by creating trainings, conferences, books, and resources that help families build stronger connections and healthier futures. Behind the professional titles, I am a husband, caregiver, mentor, author, and lifelong learner who believes that people grow best when they feel understood, supported, and empowered. My work is deeply personal because it is rooted in decades of walking alongside children, parents, and caregivers as they navigate life’s challenges and discover their own resilience and potential.
