Fortitude
Everyone has a story of Fortitude! When we tell our stories of pain in adversity - stories of courage, redemption and hope - we give others permission to speak up and get the help they need. Each episode will give the listener a look inside what overcoming adversity looks like no matter what life throws at you. Each story is uniquely different - stories of alcoholism/addiction, infidelity, rape, abuse, loss of a child/children, cancer, rare disease, tragic accidents...etc.! We are in this life together to support one another and build community around hope and redemption. I am your host, Heather Kittelson, and I am so excited to have you here as part of the Fortitude community!

#35: John Glasser - A Torchbearer's Journey of Unwavering Faith!
In this enlightening episode of our podcast, we invite John Glasser, a man whose life is a beacon of transformative faith. From his roots in a family that spread the gospel across state lines to his own personal struggles and revelations, John's story is a stirring testament to the power of faith in action. As he shares his intimate encounter with the divine during a life-threatening illness and his vision for a spiritual awakening in America, listeners will find themselves moved by the call to become torchbearers of hope and truth.
John has a passion for youth all across our nation. He founded Collision in 2008.
John grew up in Wyoming and graduated from Riverton High School, where his running skills earned him a scholarship to attend and run for the University of Sioux Falls. He graduated with a Business degree and then earned his MBA. Years later, he obtained his Master’s Degree in Christian Leadership from Liberty Online University.
John has had a front row seat to watching God do some amazing things in and through students around the nation. Collision started in Sioux Falls SD because of a student’s passion at Lincoln High School and today, the organization serves students at all Sioux Falls middle and high schools and most recently across the nation. John’s work with Collision has given him a platform to speak at conferences and work with other leaders from around the nation who are looking to impact youth in a growing post-Christian culture. He also travels frequently to Ukraine to speak and train up leaders who come alongside youth to share and live out their faith.
John is married to Angie, and they have three wonderful children. When John isn’t being a husband, dad, serving students and staff, or sharing vision with supporters (yes, this is one busy guy), you will find him on the Sioux Falls bike trail peddling and praying for his family, Collision, students, and the city of Sioux Falls.
