Fear has a way of creeping into our lives in the most unwelcome places. One of them is in the workplace. When difficult people, projects and circumstances cause fear to rise in our career, we must remember, God has a big
When negligence results in a child’s severe disability, it’s normal to feel angry and fearful. But, choosing to have a grateful heart can change everything. Rather than focusing on the disabilities, this mom focused on G
Our faith is a journey, and God holds the plans. So, what is the “next step” He's asked you to take? Maybe you’ve known for a while, but fear has held you back. Fear can cause us to stop ... when God says go. Whatever th
Are you afraid of dying? You don’t have to be. The Bible says, God set eternity in our hearts when we were created ... and there is so much more than this! What if the here and now is just part of the journey? What if th
Fear has the power to completely immobilize us, if we allow it. And, the enemy loves to keep us bound by fear; that way we take ourselves out of the game and become useless for the Kingdom of God. But we don’t have to se
What do you do when a health challenge carries on for years, without any real answers? You’ve seen all the specialists, you’ve prayed, you’ve cried, you’ve persevered ... but the road ahead remains unknown. You put one f

How do you build a close relationship with the Lord? It’s not complicated. Like any strong relationship, you purpose to spend time with God, talking to Him daily, listening for His voice and getting to know the “One” who
When you pursue a real relationship with God, you’ll experience real change. That’s because you’re no longer satisfied with standing on the sidelines or going through the motions of religion. When you commit your life to
I grew up knowing who God was in my head, but it never really made it to my heart ... until the day He called me out. One night, God challenged me to choose, was I for Him or against Him? No more lukewarm! Having one foo
Sometimes, the greatest gift we can give others is wrapped in our own personal pain and tears. God uses the suffering we go through to lead us to people who need to hear about the hope we have within us. Even when we’re

God is pointing you in a new direction. The future is unknown, but you believe God is in it. Will you move forward in faith? Or stay put in the comfortable place you’ve always known? It’s time to stop entertaining all th
