    How to Stop the Anti-Christian Agenda Swooping Into Our Schools

    How to Stop the Anti-Christian Agenda Swooping Into Our Schools

    Have you noticed an anti-Christian agenda swooping into our schools, libraries, media, and government institutions? When even the Muppets and Kellogg’s Cereal boxes tell your young children they can be any gender they feel like, parents need strategies.
    Joan Benson wrote THE book on how parents can respond to their children when they ask uncomfortable questions.
    Joan was my guest on Never Ever Give Up Hope last year. Click here to enjoy her story of love lost, betrayal, and new-found joy. 
     




     
    Joan Benson adopted two infants and two twelve-year-olds to complete what she hoped would be a loving permanent family. 
    Joan is a wife, mother of four adult children, a grandmother of eight, a former educator, and an author/speaker. She has been a freelance writer for over thirty years and has served as a reading specialist, teacher mentor, and classroom teacher in her first career.  
    After retiring from her educational life, she pursued her love for writing with the freedom to share her spiritual insights. Previously, she has been published in multiple Christian magazines including LifeWay’s “ParentLife” and Regent University’s “The Christian Leader.” 
    Some of her devotional writings have been published on CBN.com. Joan wrote for LifeWay Publishing’s Children’s Ministry for twelve years. Her debut historical fiction novel, His Gift, was published in 2020. She has recently co-authored four children’s books with Marjorie Wingert.

     
     
    Her awareness broadened when she watched the trend of an anti-Christian agenda forcing its way into our education system. 
    Textbooks are now being written with gay and transgender characters for young elementary readers. This presents a gay and transgender lifestyle as “normal” without an opportunity for parental input.
    We CANNOT afford to wait until children are old enough to talk about these concepts or the cultural ideologies will indoctrinate them first. We can teach children to treat each other with kindness without indoctrinating them into gender confusion.
     




     
    GOD’S ABCs
    With the playfulness of an alphabet tale, the main characters, letters A-Z, parade into the story with their unique talents and interests on display. Gender identity questions are addressed based on the truth of God’s design, affirming the concept that our gender is not random, changeable by desire. God made each person with meaningful intent, with good plans and purposes.
    When God made me so, He knew my real worth.
    I was specially made to be X on this earth.
     
     




     
     
    WONDER OF LIFE
     
    Wonder of Life is a beautiful story with humorous, yet meaningful illustrations to convey its life-affirming message. Truth-filled rhyming text will delight while teaching children how God set humans apart from animals, even creating them in his own image. Starting with Creation, the authors develop the concept of the sanctity of human life, blessing children with confidence in God’s love and desire for relationship.

    Do You Want To Know How to Channel Your Inner Awesome?

    Do You Want To Know How to Channel Your Inner Awesome?

    Cam F Awesome has experienced the kind of devastation few of us ever will—he was suspended from the U.S. Olympic boxing team months before the London games. But he did not give up. In fact, he went on to create a new name and life and earn more championships than any other boxer in America. And he doesn't even like boxing.
     

    As a kid, Cam F. Awesome was bullied but found his strength in boxing. Today Cam is known as "The Motivational Comic," a former Olympic Heavyweight and multi-time National Champion boxer with over 400 wins.  
    He rose to fame after being featured in the Netflix documentary "Counter Punch," which chronicled his Olympic journey.
    In his interview, Cam discusses these topics:
    1. An Attitude of Gratitude
    2. Channeling Your Inner Awesome
    3. Building Confidence through preparation
    4. If you can fail without being discouraged, success is inevitable
    5. How Cam escaped bullying and became America's #1 boxer
     We are honored to have Cam with us today to share his triumph over adversity.

    Becoming Awesome - Making Success Inevitable

    ·         How to come back from a catastrophe—even one that costs your dreams and   livelihood.
    ·         How a fool-proof equation can help you develop goals and keep focused on them.
    ·         Why it is vital to chase after failure rather than avoiding it.
    ·         Why humility may not be all it is cracked up to be.
    ·         How to balance the importance of having a Plan B with the motivation of desperation.
    ·         How to develop healthy social media habits (no, healthy and social media are not oxymorons).
    ·         How to be your own biggest fan!
    Unlike other books that urge you to put the phone down and concentrate, your phone is a vital part of processing Cam's messages. QR codes lead to videos, news stories, and personal messages from the author, and interactive worksheets help you put his advice into practice.
    So jump in the ring and let's go twelve rounds together! It'll be Awesome.

    Did You Know that When You Create Your Habits - Your Habits Create Your Life?

    Did You Know that When You Create Your Habits - Your Habits Create Your Life?

    Adam Lucero was stabbed in the throat, arms, and chest by a stranger in a movie theatre. He survived but was living off tubes. If you unplugged them, you unplugged his life. He was grateful to be alive but his body was decaying to the point where his legs did not work. His muscles evaporated and his cognitive function was compared to a third grader's.
    This experience forced Adam to learn how to optimize his performance or quit on his potential in life. He is currently running a business empowering entrepreneurs and motivational-driven people through nutrition, fitness, habit, mindset, and more.

    Adam chose NOT to quit and he will give you tools to help you easily and permanently escape the vicious cycle and declare that you are going to change your actions and your life. Period.
    Adam designed a program called 1:1 which gives you the tools for a mindset of doing rather than hoping to do....someday:
    "I'm going to work out and eat healthy".....someday.
    'm going to hammer out my to-do list.".....someday.  
    But then you run into resistance and face nagging internal battles and tell yourself, "I'll do it tomorrow or next week."
    Self-sabbotage becomes a way of life and years pass by without making any progress. Sound familiar?
    His near-death theatre experience catapulted him into a new life that he could not have imagined. You will love and relate to Adam's story:
