You Can’t Outgive God

Discipleship, Emotional Health, Real Life Stories, Serving Others, Spiritual GrowthBy Kathy SherwinNovember 14, 2022

I recently had the privilege of hosting our Courage For My Life training for 27 incarcerated men. Some of the men are incarcerated for life. The majority of the men will become Peer Facilitators and lead our video-driven discipleship class with other inmates. When I walked into the chapel, the men’s body language (crossed arms,…

Are you willing to settle for just being happy?

Discipleship, Emotional Health, Real Life Stories, Spiritual GrowthBy John LongNovember 7, 2022

When people are asked what they want in life, to be happy is a popular answer. Some would even say, “I deserve to be happy.” Happiness seems to be much sought after. Do we deserve, have a right to be happy? Is that a realistic expectation? On July 4, 1776, Congress approved the final draft…

Practical Tips for Bible Study

Discipleship, Emotional Health, Real Life Stories, Spiritual GrowthBy John LongOctober 10, 2022

Have you decided to begin studying your Bible? Perhaps it’s a resolution of sorts, an attempt at reviving an old desire, or some other reason. Maybe you have attempted it in the past but were not successful or couldn’t keep it up. No matter what you have or have not attempted in the past, now…

Grace is more than a prayer at mealtime

Discipleship, Emotional Health, Real Life Stories, Spiritual GrowthBy John LongSeptember 26, 2022

Each spring, I referee Upward Basketball. Who wouldn’t want to give up their Saturdays to have coaches, parents, spectators, and players yell at you? And it’s done for the lovely sum of free! Most referees have no connection with the players, we just love giving the kids an opportunity to play. (In the spirit of…

Embracing a Life of Grace

Emotional Health, Personal Growth, Real Life StoriesBy Ann WhiteSeptember 12, 2022

For a long season, I was incapable of genuinely giving grace to others. While I found it increasingly easy to share God’s message of unconditional forgiveness and grace with those struggling with fear, hurt, sin, and shame, I found it much harder to extend that same message of forgiveness and grace to people who had…

Could God Love Me if He Knew the Real Me?

Discipleship, Emotional Health, Real Life Stories, Spiritual GrowthBy John LongAugust 22, 2022

Everyone has a picture of God in their mind. What’s yours? Having spent over four decades in vocational ministry has given me a multitude of opportunities to talk to people about God. One of the questions I like to ask is, “Who is God to you, what’s He like?” The variety of answers is amazing,…

Grasping God’s Love

Emotional Health, Personal Growth, Real Life StoriesBy Ann WhiteAugust 8, 2022

It’s difficult not to have courage when we fully grasp how deep God’s love is for us. As the Bible says, “If God is for us, who can ever be against us?” (Romans 8:31). When I was saved at age nineteen, my eternity was sealed. But my spiritual growth was just beginning. I knew little…

Experience God’s Breath in Your Life

Discipleship, Emotional Health, Real Life Stories, Spiritual GrowthBy John LongJuly 11, 2022

I lived overseas for several years. One day a local friend came to the apartment for a visit. During the visit she noticed my Bible on the table beside my favorite chair. She asked if that was my Bible and why it was beside my chair. I told her that every morning the first thing…

Don’t Let Your Past Decide Your Future

Discipleship, Emotional Health, Real Life Stories, Spiritual GrowthBy John LongJune 27, 2022

When I was young, I remember hearing adults say there are two constants in life: death and taxes. They never said it lovingly but rather sadly, as if one must accept the inevitable. As I aged, I realized the list could be expanded, certainly the negative ones. Being a person of faith, I would add…
