This week's episode is timely. In the wake of unfathomable evil put on display, we are reminded of Matthew 7:14, "... small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."   The way we are called to walk is undoubtedly unpopular, difficult, unpredictable, and requires total surrender, commitment, and sacrifice.  It's not for the faint of heart, but...

Anxiety  has become a household word and condition in our culture today. However, the Bible is clear when it says, "do not be anxious about anything!"  (Phil. 4:6) We as believers have access to a storehouse of promises - peace, a sound mind, trust, a future and a hope. Our job is simply to receive and actively use them.  Madi shares her powerful testimony of how she has overcome crippli...

In order see heaven in earth, we have to ask the Lord to help is see as he sees. We have to see HIM clearly. Romans 15:13 tells us, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him , so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."  The Word doesn't say, "as you trust in your job" "as you trust in that outcome or that relati...

In this week's episode, Candy shares the two critical aspects of following Jesus - willingness and obedience. Looking at the miracle of Lazarus, our faith is challenged by the question: are we willing to trust Him only if He does "it" the way I think He should?
