After challenging the folks at Corinth, Paul reminds them in 1 Corinthians 4 he is a regular guy who is working hard, has no real place to call home, and he feels like others see him as the scum of the earth! How can that be "blessed?" He also tells them to imitate him, but not his financial or career prowess, but his "ways in Christ." 

Vernon challenges us in 1 Corinthians 3 to understand and choose carefully how we are building on the foundation of Christ. What materials are you using to build? The fire is coming and it will test the quality of your work, and that is a good thing!

Vernon talks with Woody Whitley, a staff member at Grace Ministries International, about his journey after being raised in a Christian home, turning his back on God while laying wounded in the middle of a battle in Vietnam, and then, after many years, how God brought him back home to faith.

Vernon talks through 1 Corinthians 2 on Paul's focus and his strategy for going deep in the faith. Why not give it a try!

Vernon talks about the real evil, and it is not money. Paul the Apostle wrote Timothy a letter and painted a grim picture of how folks will behave and how they will relate to money and resources in "the last days". Do you see yourself in one or more of those word pictures? If so, you may want to rethink your view of money and, better yet, get to the root issue of why money or material resources ar...

Where do you look for power and victory? Vernon takes us through a discussion on God's power in your life that can come only through the cross. Paul talks about it in 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.

Vernon talks through 1 Corinthians 1:1-17 and untangles this idea of being called, and then shares what all those who accept the call have in common, and it is pretty spectacular. Now that you know, you can stop trying so hard to get what you already got! Don't overthink it, start walking!

Vernon talks about this idea of giving thanks versus blessing my agenda and taking time to "pause", step back, reframe and refocus on Christ and all He has given to us. In addition, finding the joy and finding the good in the midst of our circumstances and relationships.

Vernon shares a few thoughts on a funeral he just attended of a young, 18-year-old girl (and friend of the family) who unintentionally lost her life after a battle with drug addiction. Comfort? Encourage? How do you do that when there are no words? Hint: if there are no words, don't use any words.

Vernon reminds us of what was an undeniable provision of God over six years ago that “coincidentally” is a miracle for another family. You decide if it is coincidence, providence, or just plain luck. God is always at work in and through each one of us, even in the middle of our sometimes crazy and messy lives.

Vernon and Torben (discipleship counselor and staff member at Joni and Friends) talk through the destructive force of bitterness and outline God's solution as defined in the New Testament. You do not want to let bitterness take root and effect your life or the lives of those you love.

Vernon speaks with James Rimmer who was caught in the homosexual and drug scene for many years. James would title his story, "God's Unconditional Love Transformed Me". Jump inside the mind of James Rimmer to see how all this started, and perhaps learn how you can experience freedom and even help others who may struggle.

Vernon Terrell talks with Torben Jensen (Disciple Counselor at Grace Ministries International and on staff at Joni and Friends) asking, "how do you experience God?" So many Christians shy away from the one, sure-fire way to experience God in their life. You can actually experience God in every season of your life, but this particular season is where the sense of His presence seems to be most evide...

Vernon talks with Torben Jensen about hearing from God. What does it look like? Does God REALLY speak to us? Torben is a Grace Ministries International Counselor and is currently serving with the organization "Joni and Friends" in Nashville, TN - https://www.joniandfriends.org). 

Vernon Terrell and Michelle Morris talk about this idea of "waiting", or "waiting on the Lord". In our culture of "get it now" and almost instant information anytime, anywhere, is "waiting on the Lord" even relevant? You make the call.

Vernon continues the discussion of life and work learning from the wisdom of Solomon in the book of Ecclesiastes. Remember, Solomon had it all and did it all and can save you and me from a bunch of heartache. 

Vernon takes us through the first few chapters of Ecclesiastes where Solomon is wresting with what life is all about. He has been there and done that and we get to peek into his thinking process and hear some of the conclusions he has drawn along the way. Hear from the ultimate mentor and learn from his personal experience in life.
