Think of the most resilient person you know.

Now, allow me to introduce my cousin Meredith Harris to you. 

Meredith recently shared her story at her church - and I was so moved and proud of her that I wanted to share it with as many people as possible. Take a listen, and I know you'll feel the same way.

Christians are called to be salt and light in our culture, but the American church has grown apathetic in the stewardship of our rights and liberties.

On this episode of Truth Talk Live, I invited Bunni Pounds, founder and president of Christians Engaged to discuss the importance of voting and what her organization is doing to educate on this topic from a Biblical viewpoint. 

Each week I host a live program on the Truth Network that features a wide variety of topics. 

This episode opens with a discussion on Forgiveness, and then my interview with Aaron Tornquist for Down syndrome Awareness Month. 

I recently attended the 75th birthday party for Joni Eareckson Tada - and shared the lessons and inspiration I received from that wonderful event. 

Plus, I close the program with a special tribute to a dear friend who is now with the Lord. 

Each Weds' I host a live program titled TRUTH TALK LIVE. In this episode, I interviewed Chad and James Hampton from Huntin' the Truth" Ministry. 

Plus on the last block of this program I talked about celebrating Joni Eareckson Tada's 75th birthday and the impact she's had on Gracie and me. 

"A passion for God and hunting: these two passions have shaped the lives and ministries of Pastors Chad and James Hampton. Teaching men and women principles from their nationally recognized book “Secretes of the Hunt” on how to ‘hunt’ for God like they hunt for animals is at the center of the “Huntin the Truth Ministries” that was established in 2005. Chad and James travel across the United States and speak at seminars, wild game dinners, hunting camps, prayer breakfasts, youth, young adult, men’s ministry, and outdoor events, along with preaching in churches."

Jochen (Jack)( Wurfl (92) shares his astonishing story of losing his family in the holocaust, coming to America, and his thoughts on patriotism, freedom, Israel, anti-semitism, and life. 

Jack was born in 1932 in Germany to his Jewish mother and Catholic father, and lived in Austria until 1936. Anticipating Hitler's invasion of Austria, his parents sent Jack and his brother, Peter, back to Germany to live with their Jewish grandparents in Berlin.

As Hitler's persecution of the Jews intensified, Jack's grandfather sneaked the boys into hiding at a children's summer camp in the resort village of Dangast, 200 miles northwest of Berlin on the North Sea. The camp was operated by a brave and sympathetic German woman named Irma Franzen-Heinrichsdorff.

Jack and Peter lived with "Tante Irma" for twelve years, where they survived bombing raids, SS police surveillance, and food shortages. Their mother died in Auschwitz. Their father, a political prisoner in the Mauthausen concentration camp, died shortly after his liberation after World War II ended.

 

As a caregiver, if you go to church - why? 

If not, why not? 

I know what scripture says about church, but I am asking you as a caregiver: why are you doing it or not doing it? 

In this episode I discuss this and what church means to me - along with some improvement opportunities when it relates to those who suffer - and those who care for them.

My father lived an exceptional life - and in this episode I share a bit from his life, service, and legacy. 

"Rev. Rosenberger leaves an extraordinary legacy of service to God, family, and country. He tirelessly ministered to lives in distress and pointed them to the Savior he served so faithfully. His entire ministry can be encapsulated by the text from one of his favorite hymns:

There is a balm in Gilead, to make the wounded whole. There is a balm in Gilead, to heal the sin-sick soul. If you can't preach like Peter, if you can't pray like Paul, Just tell the love of Jesus, and say He died for all. - Balm in Gilead

The list of lives touched through Rev. Rosenberger's ministry is lengthy and will continue to extend for years to come.

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing." - 2 Timothy 4:7-8

Today's a great day to start living a healthier life as a caregiver, but where do you start?

"I've found that if I chase healthiness, happiness chases me."
