Yet in a culture that often measures success by income, possessions, and financial security, it’s easy to begin defining ourselves by what we have—or what we lack. Scripture offers a different perspective. In fact, some of Jes...

Ever play the telephone game? You and some others gather in a circle. Someone whispers a message to the first person, who whispers it to the second and so on. When the last person reveals what he heard, it’s obvious that the message got wildly distorted. Some people seem to play a game like that with their Bible knowledge. They rely on what they’ve heard the Bible says. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, P...

Resilience is a life skill we need for the inevitable struggles we will face in this life — but we must be intentional about learning this skill. Valorie has identified some key “rules” for resilience — like “expect the unexpected,” and “focus on the vision, not the obstacle.” And “control the controllable and accept the rest.” Prepping ourselves beforehand to learn and live more resiliently helps...

No matter who we are, what neighborhood we come from, whether we’re famous, infamous or unknown, we have something someone else wants. We have something someone else needs. We have a smile, and a kind word. It’s that simple. Maybe we don’t have a dollar in our pocket, but a moment of kindness may be just what someone needs to get through their difficulty. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laur...

We like to think we make rational decisions with our money, but what if our emotions influence our financial choices far more than we realize?

While these discoveries have challenged traditional economic thinking, they reinforce what Scripture has taught for thousands of years: human wisdom is limite...

Mark 1:14–20 Nearly everyone longs for a clear sense of purpose—yet leaving the familiar behind is another matter entirely.

We’ve all been wounded by something someone said to us. And, if we’re candid, we’d probably all admit we’ve said some things that may have hurt someone else. Once those careless words leave our mouths, there’s just no getting them back. How can we control our tongues . . . how can we keep that tiger in the cage? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie takes us to some specific counsel in the...

What if debt isn't just a financial issue, but a discipleship one? We often view borrowing through a financial lens, focusing on interest rates, monthly payments, and repayment timelines.
