By Leslie Vernick | December 1, 2021 |

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.

By Leslie Vernick | April 21, 2021 |

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?

By Leslie Vernick | December 23, 2020 |

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.

By Leslie Vernick | June 24, 2020 |

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.

By Leslie Vernick | February 13, 2019 |

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…

Necessary Changes For A Destructive Person

By Leslie Vernick | October 31, 2018 |

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…
