The Difference Between Letting Go And Giving Up
Morning friend, I just finished answering a survey from a college student on what beliefs keep Christian women stuck in destructive/abusive marriages. I’d love for you to give your input on what beliefs have kept you stuck. Here’s one common belief I’ve found. “If I give up hope for my husband to change, I’m giving up on God.” Is this…

Morning friend, Have you been practicing gratitude this week? I hope so. It’s a game-changer when you faithfully practice it. Studies show that we all have limited attention. Watch this video to see an example of what you can miss and not even know it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGQmdoK_ZfY We don’t see everything, even when it’s obvious or right in front of our…

Morning friends, Do you ever read the Bible and “see” a new verse in there? One that you’ve never seen before even though you’ve read it from cover to cover several times?

Read MoreIs My Hope Realistic?
Morning friends, For me, Christmas is the season for quiet. For stillness. For reflection on the reality of “Emmanuel, God with us” Pray for me that I would know that God is in this place.

Morning friends, I’m in a hotel room in California this week, working hard to put my book The Emotionally Destructive Relationship in audiobooks. I’d appreciate your prayers.

Morning friends, Thanks for your prayers. My body is healing from last week’s fall. My finger is still pretty stiff and swollen but each day I feel better. If you haven’t had a chance to check them out, I’d encourage you to head over to my Facebook professional page and start watching our short 3-5 minute nugget videos. They are…
Read MoreI Want To Please God Most. Will Separating From A Destructive Spouse Ruin That?
Morning friends, I imagine you’ve all read or heard in the news the expose’ on what’s happening within the Southern Baptist Church in their mishandling and covering up of abuse inside their ranks. It’s heartbreaking and sinful. It’s everything that’s against justice, truth, and the heart of God. Abuse Of Faith Southern Baptist Leaders And Volunteers Accused Of Sexual Misconduct…
Read MoreNecessary Changes For A Destructive Person
Morning friends, I am on a two week speaking gig to New Orleans, then North Carolina, and then Florida and I’d appreciate your prayers. Instead of answering a question this week, I thought I’d share an observation from Elisha’s interaction with Naaman from 2 Kings Chapter 5. Naaman was a mighty warrior and commander in the army of…
