Regina Swarn Audio Series Presents

Fan MailIce does not care how confident we feel behind the wheel. Today we slow down, take a breath, and walk through a simple, steady plan to stay safe during ice and snow: when to stay home, what to pack, and how to look out for people and pets who are most at risk. The goal is not fear; it’s care, preparation, and clear choices that lower the chance of emergencies when power lines ice over and streets turn slick.We start with the basics that save the most lives: avoid nonessential driving, es...

Fan MailBig news, honest energy, and a clear path forward—this update sets the tone for what’s next. We open the door on Season Nine, slated for the second week of February, and share why our show stays unscripted by choice: real people, real stories, no polish required. The goal hasn’t changed—give guests a platform and let you hear their lives in their own words—but the scope is growing with musicians, ministers, business owners, evangelists, and authors ready to step up to the mic.We also preview a timely companion: a listener...

Fan MailA season closes, the band tunes up, and the curtain rises on something bigger. We’re taking the gratitude and grit of season eight and channeling it into a music-forward season nine—without losing the range that made this community special. From testimony services and cat rescues to authors who turned pain into pages, the last run proved that honest stories travel farther than hype. Now we’re turning the spotlight toward musicians and multi-hyphenates who write, play, sing, produce, and perform—and we’re asking them to bring the process, not just the polish.Y...

Fan MailA great guitar line doesn’t just fill a room—it changes the air you breathe. To honor Jimmy Page at 82, we share a personal tribute to the craft, presence, and lasting influence that turned a late discovery into a lifelong compass. This isn’t a timeline tour; it’s a lived account of why certain Zeppelin tracks still stop us cold and how Page’s choices—tone, space, tension—taught us to listen and to create with care.We start with the spark: finding Page after Zeppelin had ended and realizing the music still fe...

Fan MailThe flu wave sweeping through workplaces, stores, and schools isn’t “just a cold,” and we’re not sugarcoating it. We lay out a practical, judgment-free plan to protect yourself and your family in the real world—where people still need to work, run errands, and pick up dinner on the way home. This is a grounded guide to staying healthy when symptoms vary, lines are long, and many of our neighbors can’t afford a sick day.We start with what makes this flu feel different: stomach issues for some, classic sore throat and f...

Fan MailA dangerous flu wave is moving fast, and we’re cutting through the noise with straight talk and simple steps that actually help. No fearmongering. No lectures. Just a warm, candid reminder that caution is a form of love—and that pairing faith with common sense keeps more people well.We open with the core message: watch comes before prayer. That doesn’t diminish belief; it strengthens it. We share real moments from everyday life—like seeing someone open a bag of chips in the store before washing their hands—and use them to illustr...

Fan MailWhat if your wardrobe could testify before you say a word? We sit with Prophetess Roberta Ford to trace the roots of Dunamis Perception—a faith-based streetwear brand born from street ministry, family legacy, and a conviction that God’s view of us should define our style. Raised by single mothers and grandmothers who taught stewardship and dignity, Roberta and Apostle A.B. Ford built a visual language that carries that legacy forward: bold colors, clear messages, and designs that spark real conversations in the hedges and highways.We talk about what it mean...

Fan MailThe first notes rise and everything settles into focus. That’s the quiet magic of Reaching for the Stars, the theme that has become our compass, our calling card, and the invitation into every conversation we share. What started as a radio show intro a decade ago now anchors the podcast with the same lift and warmth, thanks to the composer who shaped it with care: Chris Murphy Elliott.We share the story behind the music—how an influential listener called it powerful and the kind of melody that earns “play it again” status...

Fan MailA surge of listener energy from our Rescue Cats conversation carries straight into a double-header week built on clarity and action. We start by acknowledging what thousands of downloads confirmed: practical stories change how we see our work. That’s the bar we aim to meet as we line up two new conversations—one about building a business that lasts and another about owning a new chapter of your professional identity.First, we sit down with Roberta Ford, co-owner of Dunamis  Perception, to unpack the daily systems that keep a small business resilient. We ge...

Fan MailA bow on a box makes for a heart-melting reveal, but what happens after the wrapping paper is gone? We sit down with longtime adoption coordinator Jerri Clay Hays to unpack the real work of turning a holiday surprise into a lifelong bond. From matching a pet’s age and temperament to your household rhythm to planning around vacation chaos, this conversation offers the practical playbook every adopter needs before they say yes.We walk through family readiness, especially with young kids and tiny animals, and why “teenager” kittens can be a safer, happie...

Fan MailForget tidy boxes. I grew up harmonizing to soft rock while training my voice in gospel, and that mix still shapes every note I sing and every song I love. Today I open that door and invite you into the real soundtrack—Queen on the shelf next to Bread and America, melody-led and lyric-first, clean and crafted.We unpack why people are shocked when a gospel singer loves classic rock, and why that surprise misses the point. Genre is a frame; craft is the picture. I talk through the bands that raised my ea...

Fan MailThe spark was simple: share stories from all walks of life. What followed was anything but simple—months of posting solo, friends drifting from excitement to skepticism, and a promise to keep going when the room got quiet. We open the door on that whole arc, from the first shaky recordings to the moment the inbox filled with guest requests and the show landed on iHeartRadio.We talk about what persistence looks like in practice: publishing when you feel unseen, refining your voice one episode at a time, and shifting to interviews only wh...

Fan MailA single melody can carry a show. We celebrate composer Chris Murphy Elliot with a warm birthday tribute and the story behind Reaching for the Stars, the theme that turned a short-lived radio experiment into the musical backbone of our podcast. From the first bars, Chris’s writing paints open horizons—jazz-kissed harmony, patient rhythm, and a melody that makes room for voice without losing its own voice.We share how listeners describe vivid scenes when the theme plays: riders crossing a sunlit plain, the hush of a late-night set, the promise of a ne...

Fan MailA single song can pull you back through years in an instant, and today we lean into that power. We set the room quiet and soft, then share a heartfelt cover of The Way We Were that carries the weight of memory, loss, and love. The cracks in the voice aren’t mistakes; they’re part of the story, the sound of someone singing through what still matters.We open by naming why this track hits hard: grief for a sister, the heaviness of the season, and a long-standing love for Barbra Streisand’s musi...

Fan MailA small book with a big heartbeat can rearrange how you think about storytelling. We sat down with author Andrea B. Mohammad to explore a memoir that’s barely sixty pages yet feels larger than many epics—tight, tender, and impossible to put down after the first dedication. The conversation stayed true to our blueprint: no rehearsal, no scripts, just space for a guest to speak the story only she can tell. That openness changed the energy in the room and, judging by the surge in downloads, it traveled straight through your headphones.Acro...

Fan MailWhat if the voice you lost wasn’t just your singing voice—but your true self? We sit down with author and entrepreneur Andrea A. Mohammed to explore how a mother, business owner, and believer stitched a life back together after years of hidden pain and the heartbreaking loss of her daughter, Brianna.Andrea takes us from the first shock of a childhood blood disorder to the global advocacy Brianna sparked for Be The Match and bone marrow awareness, especially in the Black community. You’ll hear about the surprise 51st birthday party Briann...

Fan MailIf you’ve ever wondered whether street ministry still changes lives, this conversation answers with fire and humility. We sit down with Apostle A.B. Ford to trace a journey from a praying childhood in Macon to a global outreach that sets up wherever people hurt: sidewalks, nursing homes, jails, parks, and living rooms. The stories are raw—addiction and overdose, nights of terror, and a vivid testimony of hell—yet every turn bends toward mercy. What emerges is a portrait of relentless grace and a sober warning: don’t play casual with a holy covenant...
