  • The Assurance of God’s Presence
    Oct 25 2024

    Has God ever called you to a task that made you feel completely inadequate? The truth is, God isn’t looking for your ability—He’s looking for your availability. Join us as we explore how God equips those who answer His call, no matter how unprepared they might feel.

    Many of us are in what feels like the busiest season of our lives. When we think we’re at our max capacity, God can have the tendency to ask us to do something more or different that pushes us past what we think are our limits. This can tempt us to fear. Fear the weight of the responsibility. Fear the trek into the unknowns. Fear of the people we’re called to serve. But God. He is with us wherever we go.

    When we look at the assignment from God’s perspective instead of our own, we have the strength and power to forge ahead with joy and expectation of what He’s going to do next.

    Listen to this episode and learn how the Lord can change your mindset to help you not only survive through the assignment, but even rise above it!

  • A Father's Love Exposed through a Child's Letter
    Jun 7 2024

    Have you given a gift to someone you thought he might like but didn't find out until later the significance it held for him? Have you received such a gift?

    Anna wrote her father a letter when he was 65 years old. On this episode, find out what happened to it, the significance it held for a number of people, and how God used it to propel Anna into her successful writing ministry!

    Award-winning author Anna Moore Bradfield has been spinning tales, exaggerating the truth, and flat-out lying almost as long as she could talk. Nowadays, she calls it fiction. She has contributed devotionals to The Secret Place, written articles for West Michigan Christian News, and was a regular contributor to the Norton-Lakeshore Examiner. She also enjoyed collaborating on anthologies The Transformation Project and Anchor in the Storm.

    With her debut novel Legacy, Anna is thrilled to be the 2022 first-place recipient of the OASIS Awards sponsored by The Well Conference for Creatives. Legacy represents book one of a planned four-book series called The Lambswool Chronicles.

    As one reader describes her work: "Anna’s writing makes you want to grab onto something and hang on for dear life. You can hardly wait to turn the page to find out what happens next."

    Anna came to know Christ as her savior at a very early age. He has been her guiding light through the most tumultuous years of her life. She gives all praise to God for any successes she might realize on this writing journey.

  • Hope Found During Challenging Financial, Business, and Relational Situations
    Feb 10 2024

    You've felt the yoyo effect of business and finances. For a time you were doing really well and making great gains, but the next thing you know, you're handing the keys of your house and car over to the bank. How do you navigate the shame and embarrassment of perceived failure?

    You were pursuing education for the job you've always dreamed of doing, but it wasn't going as you had planned. Now, not only have you quit school, your wedding engagement is called off, and church and family relationships are struggling. How do you know what to do next?

    Many of these scenarios are quite common. Either yourself or someone you know has/is working through them. Each of these causes you to test your faith. This was the case for Andrena Sawyer. Tune into today's episode as she shares with Rachel how she learned to cling to God, surrender her plans, and instead, embrace the ones He had for her, along the surprises and blessings she experienced from Him because of it.
