Hey there BCU Fam!

The last time we were together, we talked about "importunity" ----the importance of boldly and persistently coming before the Lord in prayer. Today, let's explore that persistence through the parable of the widow and unjust judge in Luke 18.

Happy New Year BCU Fam!

As we start of 2026, the Lord impressed on me the importance of persistence in prayer. Luke 11 introduces that concept with the word, "importunity". Let's talk about it!

Hey there BCU Fam,

Some of you all may recall a story about my initial high school experience....talk about a CHALLENGE?! WHEW!!! But even though I did not know the Lord like I do now, He smoothed things out, and sent some good friends whom I have kept in contact with down through the years.

One friend, Jim reached out to me with an urgent prayer request that really pulled on my heart. Let's talk about it!*

Now that the holidays are here, there is an emphasis on giving to others. While this season is a reminder, it's actually biblical to look after others all year-round.

Hey there BCUFam!

Understandably, anxiety, worry and fretting can be a natural (and unproductive) response with all of the turmoil currently happening. Let's revisit Psalm 37 to help ease our anxiety.
