Encounter The Glory Magazine - April 2026

Welcome to the April 2026 edition of Encounter the Glor Magazine.

This month, we are not merely telling stories; we are presenting living, breathing testimonies that shatter skepticism and ignite faith. We have curated a collection of narratives that stand as undeniable monuments to the power of the Gospel—a power that does not fade with time but explodes into the present with radical, life-altering force.

In these pages, you will meet Norm Rasmussen, a man who once sat across from prisoners of war, extracting secrets with cold, calculated precision. As a former interrogator, Norm lived in a world of manipulation, control, and psychological warfare. But when the ultimate truth of Jesus Christ confronted him, his fortress of unbelief crumbled. We chronicle his powerful, violent transformation—how the hunter became a herald of grace, and how the depths of his past became the very foundation of his ministry of redemption. It is a story that proves no heart is too hardened for the scalpel of divine love.

Yet, every great warrior needs a companion on the journey. Norm’s transformation finds its human anchor in the steadfast love of his wife, Kathleen Rasmussen. We detail the genesis of their partnership and the stunning birth of the "Jesus Did It" campaign—a movement not built on lofty theology alone, but on the gritty, everyday faithfulness of a man and woman who decided that Jesus was worthy of every ounce of their public devotion.

From that wellspring of faith, we trace the spark to a singular, courageous voice. This edition features a profound editorial by Sandra Deladem, a young woman who dared to stand against the darkness of professional abuse. Sandra’s story, emerging from the shadow of a predatory boss, is not just one of survival—it is a declaration of war against the silence that evil demands. Her words are a clarion call to the Church, reminding us that our faith is not a passive sentiment but an active shield.

But why should we believe any of this? Why should the stories of Norm, Kathleen, and Sandra matter beyond a fleeting moment of inspiration?

Sandra Deladem answers that question with a theological precision that will stir your soul: "Jesus Christ did not leave us without evidence. He provided witnesses, transformed lives, and an empty tomb so that we today would have no cause to doubt: He is still alive."

This is the thesis of our April issue. The evidence is not locked in a dusty relic; it is walking, talking, and breathing in the lives of those who have been touched by the risen Savior. The transformed interrogator, the faithful wife, the fearless young woman—they are the witnesses. The "Jesus Did It" campaign is the testimony. And the empty tomb is the guarantee.

As you turn these pages, prepare to have your doubts silenced and your faith rekindled. Because the same power that raised Christ from the dead is the very power that is transforming lives today, right now, in a world desperate for proof that hope is not dead.
