Have you ever stopped to think about who your pastor turns to when life gets hard? Ministry leaders carry the struggles of others while often facing pressures, expectations, and challenges of their own. This can have a ripple effect on you, the person in the pew: Healthy ministry leaders → healthier churches → stronger communities of believers → greater impact for God’s Kingdom. But the reverse is...

Si alguien los persigue, no lo maldigan; al contrario, bendíganlo. Si alguien se alegra, alégrense con él; si alguien está triste, acompáñenlo en su tristeza. Vivan en armonía unos con otros. No sean arrogantes, sino traten como iguales a la gente humilde ¡y no se hagan como que lo saben todo! Nunca le paguen a nadie mal con mal. Al contrario, busquen hacerles el bien a todos. Procuren, en lo que...

What does it mean to say, “The Lord is my portion”? When life feels uncertain, we can be tempted to measure security by what we own, accomplish, or can control. But Scripture points us toward a deeper source of contentment: God Himself. When we recognize the Lord as our portion, we can find hope and stability even when circumstances change or the things we depend on are taken away. Making God our...

What is Jesus asking us to do with the good news we've received? In the first episode of our new five-week series on the parables of Jesus, Major Cam Henderson takes us to Mark 4 and the parable of the growing seed. Jesus describes a farmer who scatters seed, trusts that it will grow, and eventually returns for the harvest. We may not understand exactly how God works in someone's heart, or what th...

When God does a completed work in our lives, it is like a fine pearl. Some wear their pearls for all to see. Others treasure them quietly within the chambers of the heart. Both responses are understandable — the things God does in our lives are often deeply personal and sometimes hard to put into words. But what if the story you have been quietly holding is exactly what someone else needs to hear...

Jordan St. Cyr grew up in Niverville, Manitoba, a town of about 1,200 people with six churches in it. He says a place that small keeps people's radar for what's fake and what's real very keen, and that's why his music has to be honest, conversational, almost blue collar. His dad was the worship pastor. His mom worked in children's ministry. There was never a dramatic conversion moment, just a home...

This episode of The Bible Explained is a thought-provoking discussion on the topic of Christians suffering: Christians are called to rejoice in their sufferings as a way to become more like Christ and share in His sufferings. Trials are not something to be shocked about. Judgement begins in the household of God - what this means, and how it reshapes the definition of suffering. Our lives are like...

Jeremiah prayed from inside a nation that had completely fallen apart. His prayer in Jeremiah 17:14 is simple in its words and enormous in its trust: heal me, Lord, and I will be healed. He is not bargaining. He is not demanding. He is simply acknowledging what he knows to be true: all healing belongs to God. He could not bring healing to himself. He could not summon enough strength on his own. He...
