Thru the Fire

We live in a time when Christians are often caricatured, and/or negatively reported in the news when the news should be good news. Christians need to remember that the truth is always what matters, and things can be better than they seem. There is good news on the religious liberty frontlines with the cases coming before the Supreme Court. Tune in now!

Remember, there are two kinds of fire in the world: One that burns and consumes and one that burns and empowers. May God's word and God's love burn brightly in you, giving you the strength to face any fire. Until next time, little embers!

Every January, Christians and others who support/defend the “sanctity of life” for all descend on Washington D.C. for the largest “human rights protest” in the world.

The sanctity of life is a fundamental principle for human thriving that is becoming more “popular today” because people have done the hard work of defending and sharing even when it seemed unpopular. 

Pro-life is pro-woman, pro-family, pro-science, pro-fathers, pro-community, and this year “Pro-equality for the mother and the unborn child.” Our message is universal… your life matters, your life has purpose and dignity, and your life is sacred from God.

Keep getting to know the ones you love and make new acquaintances with engaging and interesting questions. In a world inundated by technology, politics, and crises, we often forget that it is our personal relationships that really matter for our purpose and happiness. With so many distractions and choices, we can be tempted to forget that loving those God brings into our lives is the key to life. In the New Year…take time to step back and strive to “get-to-know” the ones you love, the ones who love you and make new friends.

Remember, there are two kinds of fire in the world: One that burns and consumes and one that burns and empowers. May God's word and God's love burn brightly in you, giving you the strength to face any fire. Until next time, little embers!

It's not the decorations, the parties, or even the family celebrations, it's the Message! Christmas ultimately isn't a religious call to do things better. Christmas is a message, a proclamation of what God had done/does for a world that can not help itself. Christmas is a proclamation of forgiveness, life, and salvation as a gift to a world that desperately needs it and has no power to attain it.

Remember, there are two kinds of fire in the world: One that burns and consumes and one that burns and empowers. May God's word and God's love burn brightly in you, giving you the strength to face any fire. Until next time, little embers!

Dr. Marie interviews Kevan Chandler is an avid storyteller, author of We Carry Kevan, TedX Speaker, adventurer, and international traveler. In 2015, Kevan and friends developed a backpack for his friends to carry him around during their travels. Kevan was born with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a genetic disease affecting the part of the nervous system controlling voluntary muscle movement. He never took a single step – but his friends carried him through Europe and China on their backs, and it started a worldwide movement, “We Carry Kevan,” gaining momentum by the day.

Americans are drowning in fear. Fear of global warming, economic collapse, COVID 19... etc. And, unfortunately, politicians, media, even "entertainment" peddle in fear. Who/what are you going to believe? Rational vs. Irrational fears... knowing the difference and why does it matter. Irrational fear or courageous freedom, one is abdicating life, the other is living it... Christians are called to live to its fullest in faith towards God and fervent love towards others.

Critical Race Theory: Teaches children to judge someone by biological factors they cannot control or change. CRT instills guilt and shame.

Gender Ideology: Asks children to question their biological gender. It confuses the children at vulnerable stages of life.

Schools are transitioning children without parental knowledge, hiding “required” CRT and Gender Ideology curriculum from parents. The Virginia election was an amazing victory for parents and common sense. It exposed the disdain that many of our elected officials have for regular people, for parents, and parental authority of their own children. Parents rejected CRT and Gender Ideology curriculum secretly forced on their children. Parents rejected the propagandizing of their children and the implication that educators supersede the authority of parents.
