Ladies, it seems we have a new breed of women who want to achieve everything on their own, in their own right, without the help of a man. Ahem.

When something terrible and unexpected happens, it's easy to look to God and ask him 'Why?' For some people, that pain turns to anger and ends up leading them astray.  That's what happened to my guest, Michal. After suddenly losing her grandma to cancer, she placed the blame on God. Turning her back on everything she was taught and raised to believe, Michal started living life on her own terms.  P...

Hey there! What do you think of when you hear the word 'success? Good job, financial security, strong marriage/family, etc.?
