    According to the Mayo Clinic, adults with strong social support minimize many health problems, including depression, high blood pressure, and unhealthy weight gain. So there you go – more friends, less weight. But, in reality, we need connections in our lives. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the blessing of having a friendship with Jesus. “What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear.” Join Pastor Greg in John chapter 5.

  • Faith & Finance - Do Your Finances Need Scam-Proofing?

    “The simple believe everything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.” — Proverbs 14:15

    In a world where scams are increasingly sophisticated, Scripture reminds us that precaution is not paranoia—it’s stewardship. Protecting the resources God has entrusted to us isn’t just practical; it’s spiritual.

    Today’s threats may come through phone calls, emails, text messages, or even impersonations of people we trust. But as followers of Christ, we are not called to live in fear—we are called to walk in wisdom. So what does wise, faithful stewardship look like in a digital age?

    1. Slow Down and Verify

    Scammers thrive on urgency. They want you to act before you think.

    If someone pressures you—claiming to be your bank, a government agency, or even a loved one—pause. Hang up. Verify the source using official contact information.

    Remember: Pressure is a red flag. Wisdom takes a breath.

    2. Be Wise About How You Send Money

    One of the clearest warning signs of fraud is how payment is requested.

    • Never send money via wire transfer, gift cards, or peer-to-peer apps (like Zelle or Venmo) to someone you don’t personally know.
    • Legitimate organizations will not demand payment this way.

      • If something feels off, trust that instinct and walk away.

      3. Use Tools That Protect You

      Not all payment methods are created equal.

      • Use credit cards when shopping online—they typically offer stronger fraud protection than debit cards.
      • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on financial accounts—it’s like adding a deadbolt to your digital front door.
      • Use an authenticator app when possible instead of text-based codes.

        • These simple steps dramatically reduce your vulnerability.

        4. Strengthen Your Passwords

        Weak or reused passwords are one of the easiest entry points for thieves.

        • Use a password manager like Bitwarden or NordPass to create and store strong, unique passwords.
        • Avoid reusing the same password across multiple accounts.

          • Think of your passwords as keys—each door should have its own.

          5. Monitor and Lock Down Your Accounts

          Staying alert can help you catch problems early.

          • Set up bank alerts for large transactions or unusual activity.
          • Freeze your credit with all three major bureaus—it’s free and highly effective against identity theft.

            • This is like installing an alarm system for your finances.

            6. Be Cautious Online and in Public

            Convenience can sometimes come at a cost.

            • Avoid accessing financial accounts on public Wi-Fi unless you’re using a VPN.
            • Only log into accounts on your personal devices.
            • Limit what you share on social media—details like birthdays, family names, or locations can be used against you.

              • Not everything needs to be public.

              7. Protect Your Physical Information

              Digital security matters—but so does what’s on paper.

              • Shred documents containing sensitive information like bank statements, tax forms, or medical records.
              • Be cautious of phishing emails or messages—even if they appear to come from someone you know.

                • When in doubt, verify before you click.

                8. Make It a Family Conversation

                Scammers often target the most vulnerable—especially older adults and teenagers. Take time to:

                • Talk with your family about common scams
                • Share what you’re learning
                • Stay informed together

                  • Stewardship is not just personal—it’s communal.

                  9. Use Caution After Data Breaches

                  If a company offers identity theft protection after a breach:

                  • Take advantage of it—but verify first<

                    Think AI is harmless? Think again. Today’s chatbots don’t just answer questions—they offer friendship, romance, even “love.” And the AI dangers aren’t loud… they’re subtle.

                    1 Thessalonians 5:16–22
                    Do you have the courage to be contagious? No, we’re not talking about spreading an infectious disease! But rather joyful courage, no matter the circumstances you face.
