Still Growing In Grace

There are stages in our life where we have epiphanies or a rude awakening to something we were not aware of. In our faith journey, it is exactly the same. The things we believed as a child about God change when we become young adults. Very few take the time to hear those who have grown into full adulthood in their faith maturity. They have much to offer us. Perhaps recognizing some of the ‘markers...

Todays program is a rebroadcast of a tribute given to Paul Gray who passed away a number of weeks ago. His life impacted so many people in so many beautiful ways.

Having to ‘share your faith’ has been an assumed ‘MUST’ as I grew up in church. If you don’t … ‘you don’t really love God or people’. It has been used to keep people ‘in the church’ and guilt people into ‘saying the prayer’. It is time to revisit what ‘evangelism’ is, dispel misconceptions, and find a ‘more hope-filled perspective. Enjoy part 4 of a 4 part conversation I have with Richard Murray....

This episode, and the links below, are going to focus on bringing some HOPE and peace to thes...

Giving: if you have grown up in the church world, it is very likely you have been pressured into giving as a duty and obligation. In fact, the Bible may have been used as a ‘club’ to threaten you to support or you are not a good Christian. It is high time this topic is revisited and a better, more ‘hope-filled’ perspective is presented. There are not enough voices sharing this lens, but we hope th...
