Discover how to fight worry, fear, and doubt
When troubles start to close in around us, and worry, fear, and doubt invade our hearts, God has given us a powerful tool to fight back! Join us as our special guest, Margaret Feinberg, discusses an unlikely weapon in our daily battles: joy!
One Who Understands
My friend’s husband was in the last stages of dementia. In his first introduction to the nurse who was assigned to care for him, he reached out for her arm and stopped her. He said he wanted to introduce her to his best friend—one who loved him deeply.
Jesus’ interaction with a sick child and a worried dad struggling to have faith
When our son or daughter is sick all we want to do is take away their pain. We try to soothe the sickness away. But sometimes the illness is so severe, we’re rendered helpless.
How desperation led one man to brave embarrassment and rejection in order to see Jesus
When we’re out of answers, desperation sets in. And often we’re led to do things we normally wouldn’t even consider!

Discover how God’s provision often comes when we are in a place of surrender
Sometimes it takes drastic circumstances to lead us to depend on God. Perhaps you’re going through a particularly difficult season right now. Biblical and personal examples of God’s provision when we surrender to Him.
Maybe you feel like God is testing your own faith right now

When life is good, trust comes easy. But when our journey starts to feel like an uphill battle, we sometimes question God’s methods. Let’s talk about “faith tests.”
An encouraging story you won’t want to miss

The Great Creator-Healer
A few years ago, I had a rather serious skiing accident and severely tore the muscles in one of my legs. In fact, my doctor told me that the tear caused excessive bleeding. The healing process was slow, but during that time of waiting I found myself in awe of our great Creator (see Col. 1:16).
Be Still
Eric Liddell, memorialized in the film Chariots of Fire, won a gold medal in the 1924 Paris Olympics before going to China as a missionary. Some years later, with the outbreak of World War II, Liddell sent his family to safety in Canada, but he remained in China. Soon Liddell and other foreign missionaries were interned in a Japanese detainment camp.
Hard Way To Strength
Diamonds are beautiful and valuable gemstones, but their beginning is common carbon—black, dirty, and combustible. Through years of intense heat and high pressure, they become pure and strong. This makes them a good metaphor for spiritual strength; God uses intense outside forces to rid us of impurities and to perfect His strength in us.
How experiencing hurt can actually be the best medicine for us!
