Are you struggling with depression? Join Heidi and Durenda on an archived podcast as they share openly about some of the struggles they have been through and offer encouragement from the promises that can be found in God's Word. You are not alone in your struggle! There is hope and healing available to you!

Have you been tempted to place your hope in a person? You're not alone—but Psalm 62 tells us that our hope should rest in God alone. Our hope as a nation will never be found in a president, in a curriculum, in a pastor or even a parent. Our hope should rest in God and in His Word. This view will not make you popular—but it will bring your peace. Take heart! God has overcome the world!

Christians are struggling to live set apart lives in this generation. God said that we are to differently than the world—image bearers of the King of Kings!

Knowledge without wisdom leads to pride and arrogance. Learning how to apply the knowledge is where wisdom comes in. As God's people, we need to come before the Lord and as the Father to fill us with wisdom and boldness so we will speak the truth of His word to a lost and dying generation.

The lie of this generation is that somehow "education" in liberal universities equals what is right. The older generation is being mocked for "screwing" the younger generation in this vote, but the Bible says nothing about education being equal to wisdom. It does, however, say a lot about respecting our elders!

It happens to all mothers at one time or another. We get so tired of the daily battles and discipline that so often suck the life out of us. But take heart! You will reap a harvest of righteousness of you don't give up!
