14 分钟Hello and welcome to Outlook, introducing you to amazing people and bringing you extraordinary stories from around the world.
I'm Mubin Azhar.
First, a story about Achansa, a man who took on a historic project worth millions of dollars that would be seen by generations of people.
The only issue, he wasn't entirely convinced he could even deliver whatever they wanted.
I was going to nod, you know, I was going to say, yes, I want to do this.
I can do this.
Because I was so inspired by the challenge of it.
And I just knew that we were given this commission that I knew it would change my life some way or another.
Either it would crash and burn and I'd go find another job, or it would be a success.
Tim Carey is an artist from California working in oils originally, before changing to painting glass.
Small scale stuff mostly.
One day, a huge opportunity landed in Tim's lap.
In December 2013, he got a call.
An architect was working on a church in Kansas.
Not a quaint hall with a spire and a little garden.
This was going to be a $90 million megachurch.
Huge in every way.
The architect asked him to work out how much it would cost to design and create a centerpiece for the church.
They didn't want a painting or a sculpture of the Virgin Mary.
They wanted the biggest stained glass window the world had ever seen.
