Overcomers

2025 NOMINEES

Davids Woods Bartley

I have long been a lover of Christianity and all things God. But on 8/31/2014, I lost my faith and came perilously close to losing my life as I attempted to kill myself. At that point, I believed the terrible lie that my then wife, Deanna, my family, and the world would be better off without me. That belief brought me to the literal barrier on the 730-foot-tall Foresthill Bridge, bent me over, and was just about to push me over when a First Responder, answering God's call, saved my life, and set me forth on the journey of overcoming I continue; away from mental "hellness" and into the space of mental wellness.

Brett Bower

Having lived through a devastating collision with a fully-loaded dump truck many decades ago, I know that what took place that morning with my car defied the laws of physics. *There is no way I would be here today without the hand of God being on my vehicle.* Over 20 years later, I felt called to write this true story as a screenplay. We've filmed a "proof of concept" trailer that has already had an incredibly positive impact on believers and non-believers worldwide. I know God kept me here for a purpose.

With over two decades of experience, she has conducted numerous interviews with dynamic leaders, distilling powerful principles to guide others in their faith and personal journeys. 


Beth's professional journey began as a corporate trainer, traveling nationwide to teach leadership, sales, and personal development strategies. This experience laid the foundation for her expansion into Christian environments, where she integrates stories from her faith journey and insights from the many individuals she has interviewed. 


As an author, Beth has contributed articles to various publications, including serving as a feature writer for the Atlanta Christian Family Magazine and maintaining a monthly column in Everything Knoxville Business Magazine.  Her book, Life On Purpose: You Must Be Led Before You Can Lead, shares purpose principles gleaned from years of interviews, aiming to guide readers toward living intentionally and fulfilling their divine calling.  


In the realm of media, Beth is the creator and host of Life on Purpose TV, a show that emerged from her realization of the transformative power of personal testimonies. The program focuses on sharing stories of individuals who have found and are pursuing their purpose, aiming to inspire and encourage viewers in their own faith journeys. 


Beth's mission centers on changing the world one story at a time, emphasizing the importance of understanding one's identity in Christ to navigate life with clarity and purpose. Her work continues to impact many, offering guidance and inspiration to those seeking to live a life aligned with their faith and calling.


Beth’s dad was married numerous times and her mom 3. She was on her own at 17, right out of high school. My weak foundation as a Christian totally crumbled as a young adult. In my family of origin, we were so wrong about many things. Our belief in God was one of fear, we were basically a mess. Recommitting my life to Christ later as a young wife and mom was a new beginning of understanding my identity ‘crisis.” That crisis became clarity! I’m still learning who God is so I can keep learning more about who and Whose I am. Thankfully I know who ‘Beth’ is and I’m learning to love myself so I can better love others as Christ loves me.


Beth is the author or “No Hamster’s in Heaven: How to Stop Spinning Out of Control,” a top selling book that reflects on her insight on understanding the importance of a strong sense of identity while living ‘Life on Purpose,’ also the title of her first book. She is known for her energetic and dynamic speaking engagements, sharing principles gleaned from extensive interviews. Her third book will be announced and released in the coming weeks. 


Beth’s ‘Life on Purpose’ TV Show won numerous awards, including Best TV Show Host by the International Christian Film and Music Festival in 2021, Best We Based Show by Content Media in 2021, Excellence in Media by Christian Women in Media in 2022, Christian Literary Award “Testimonies Justified by Grace’ by Joy and Company in 2021.  Beth has been on CBN as well as featured on various other media outlets.

Kyle Winkler

Kyle Winkler is a practical Bible teacher, author, and the creator of the popular Shut Up, Devil! mobile app. Known for his vulnerable yet bold messages, Kyle has shared his insights on platforms and media worldwide, including TBN’s Praise the Lord, 700 Club Interactive, Life Today, and Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural! His latest book, Permission to Be Imperfect: How to Strive Less, Stress Less, Sin Less, is available wherever books are sold. Kyle holds a Master of Divinity in Biblical Studies from Regent University and resides in Central Florida.


In his early years, Kyle suffered from almost debilitating shyness, leading his elementary teachers to place him in special programs. This timidity hindered his ability to make friends and participate in popular activities, leaving him feeling misunderstood and rejected.


At sixteen, Kyle came to know Jesus Christ in a deeply personal way. However, this newfound faith was seen as a threat by his close family and the denomination in which he was raised, resulting in more painful rejection, this time from those he expected to support him the most.


Despite these trials, Kyle’s faith only grew stronger. In God’s grace, he found the strength to withstand opposition and mature spiritually. Radically transformed by God, Kyle is no longer the timid person he once was. He speaks openly about his struggles, hurts, and rejections, emphasizing the importance of embracing the unconditional love of God.
