In dealing  with suffering, you can begin to think life is just not worth the trouble. Some of the best Christians in the Bible made this statement, “…we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:” (2 Cor. 1:8) They were tired of the Spiritual battle.

But they shared their suffering with some people they trusted. “…We would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble…” (2 Cor. 1:8)

I’ve had to learn to be content even in seasons of suffering. We can still be bold in the place where God has us. “He is enough.” That one phrase has kept me holding on when I didn’t think I could any longer.

When I was at my breaking point, He was enough, and He will be for you too.

Are you a worrier? Or maybe you hesitate to admit it and call it by another name. That's what Crystal used to do. Listen as she shares her testimony of growing in this area of her spiritual life -- learning to completely leave circumstances with the LORD and trading unsettled feelings with a sense of REST.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him:
Psalm 37:7a KJV

I’ve heard so much controversy- are we still supposed to go 2 by 2, do you still go door to door, are women supposed to go soul winning, and even have heard soul winning doesn’t work today.

In this episode, Jackie discusses some of the most important things we should consider as ambassadors (or witnesses) of Jesus Christ.

This episode dives deep into Scripture for the church on this topic and mainly “our why” for sharing the Gospel of Jesus.

Join Crystal as she considers the song titles, "No Room" and "Prepare Him Room," as we look ahead to the new year. How much room are we making for Jesus in our hearts and lives? Do we set boundaries on how much room we give Him? Do the activities, responsibilities, and pleasures of this life crowd Him out? Have we left any room for Jesus? As we look ahead to 2024, our heart's desire should be to make room for more of Him.

No Room by Lanny Wolfe

Have you ever had those times in life that are make it or break it seasons? Those times you seem to be stuck, and you can’t see any way out and can’t find the answer. 

In the busyness of life, looking at the same pile of laundry day in and out, waking up to the same notifications, it’s easy to feel like there’s not an answer to the need in our lives. 

It’s in the times we are able to get away and quiet the usual activity that we can seek and understand God’s wisdom He’s already made available to us. (Proverbs 18:1) 

Listen to this episode as Jackie discusses the importance of renewing our minds and analyzing the prior year to really create that change we need for the following year.

Have you ever stopped and thought about how Mary responded to the angel Gabriel? “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.”

She put aside her own plans, the life she thought she would lead, her own body, and her fear to bring about God’s will for her life!

God didn’t need her! But, He chose to use her! When we tell God no, His plan isn’t ruined, He just uses someone else! Don’t miss out on being used by God because of selfishness, fear, or your own plans! 

Surrender!
