The Apostle Paul wrote that we’re saved by grace through faith, not by our works. But the half-brother of Jesus—James—insisted that faith without works is dead. Dr. Robert Jeffress describes the inseparable relationship between what we believe and how we behave.

Have you ever faced an upcoming surgery—not just anxious about the procedure itself, but also wondering how you’ll cover the cost?

Imagine if someone stepped in to guide you through the process, coordinating the details and helping you navigate the expenses. Good news: that kind of support is available, and Lauren Gajdek is here to tell us all about it.

Lauren Gajdek is the Senior Director of External Affairs at Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM), an underwriter of Faith & Finance. 

As the nation’s longest-serving faith-based health cost-sharing ministry, CHM has helped Christian families with over $12 billion in medical bills over the past 40 years. CHM operates as a biblically based nonprofit organization, offering believers a unique way to meet healthcare needs—through the power of community, compassion, and cost-sharing.

At no additional cost to members, CHM has launched a groundbreaking program called the Complete Surgical Care Solution (CSCS). This service guides members through the entire process of having surgery or a medical procedure—from finding the right surgeon to managing paperwork and bills.

It’s a “curated experience” designed to walk alongside members during a challenging time. It's personalized, turnkey, and stress-free—requiring nothing more than active CHM membership.

Chloe is a teenage softball player who struggled with recurring hip and leg pain. When surgery was recommended, her family turned to CHM and its surgical solution program.

Through CHM’s help, Chloe was connected with a top-quality surgeon for a hip replacement. The ministry even covered some of the family’s travel expenses. Ultimately, CHM covered more than $145,000 in eligible medical bills. Plus, Chloe’s family received a $1,250 credit toward their out-of-pocket costs.

The family described the entire experience as feeling like they were “surrounded by family.” That’s the kind of ministry CHM strives to be.

The process is simple. Members need:

• A diagnosis from a healthcare provider
• A recommendation for surgery

If the procedure qualifies, members can reach out directly to CHM—and from there, the ministry handles the rest.

Whether you’re facing a surgery or seeking a faith-based alternative to traditional insurance, CHM offers compassionate, biblically grounded support every step of the way.

Visit CHMinistries.org/FaithFi to explore CHM’s offerings and see how this ministry can walk with you through life’s medical challenges.

A tree goes through a torturous process to become fine furniture. There’s the felling and the debarking and the cutting and the planing and the sanding and the drilling and the glueing and the pounding. But the final product can serve people for generations. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see how the challenges we face in life may not be pleasant—in fact may seem down right torturous—but the Lord uses those to shape us into the people He wants us to be.

Join us on August 16 for the annual Jesus Revolution Baptism, a celebration of new life in Christ at Pirate’s Cove with Pastor Greg Laurie!

The Holy Spirit’s mysterious work is often hidden from our physical sight. Yet He’s working powerfully in the world and among believers. In this message, Pastor Lutzer contrasts mere behavior modification with genuine inner transformation. The Spirit Himself comes as our Helper, Comforter, and Teacher.
