Choosing Conviction Over Compromise As Christians, we are called to take up our cross and follow Jesus, even when it means making difficult sacrifices. This truth is powerfully illustrated in the testimony of Pastor Rick Williams from Life Spring United Methodist Church.  In 1979, while attending Southwestern Baptist Seminary, Pastor Rick found himself in the middle of a controversy over the operation of spiritual gifts in the church. He strongly believed the gifts were essential, while the seminary dean took a cessationist position that the gifts had ceased.  Pastor Rick was given an ultimatum - compromise his beliefs to stay at the seminary with financial support, or leave the school to follow his convictions. After much prayer, he made the difficult choice to withdraw from the seminary, not knowing what the future held for him, his wife, and his calling to ministry. Looking back, Pastor Rick sees how this trial was preparing him for God's purposes. He wasn't ready at age 24...

A Mother's Journey Through Grief In this moving interview, I spoke with Janie Urbano, author of the book " Rise Again ." Janie vulnerably shares about the devastating loss of her son Jeff to suicide 23 years ago.  Getting the phone call that her son had died by suicide was a moment that turned Janie's life "inside out and upside down." In a state of shock and disbelief, Janie had to face the heartbreaking reality that Jeff was gone.  While the pain was indescribable, Janie shares how God's grace carried her through planning the funeral and the early days of grief. "God's grace was so present...it was just amazing," she recalls. Friends and church members rallied around her. However, after the funeral, the support dwindled and Janie felt desperately alone in her grief at times. She vulnerably shares how she wished more people had consistently reached out to listen, sit with her, and share memories of Jeff. Advice like "call me if you ne...

Glynda Linkous: Miraculous Healing Testimony In a recent interview, author Glynda Linkous discussed the incredible story behind her latest book "The Healing Companion." After previously writing about her spiritual wilderness journey in "The Wilderness Companion," Linkous felt God prompting her that the next book in the series would be about healing.  In 2012, shortly after this revelation, Linkous suffered a severe hemorrhagic stroke that left her unable to walk and with slurred speech. Doctors gave her a dire prognosis, saying it would take 8 months to regain 80% of her abilities. But Linkous held fast to her faith, declaring that she serves a God who can do much better than that. Miraculously, Linkous recovered quickly, which motivated her to write "The Healing Companion" to share what God taught her about receiving healing. The book explores the biblical steps to healing, the role of faith, and how to overcome mental strongholds that can block healing. ...
