This Is My Story Kevin Durham

The world searches for peace for the soul. We search far and wide to find a replacement for God to fill this empty space. But in the pursuit of this we end up still coming back to more questions about how to find it. Jesse Carbo points us to Hebrews 4 from the Bible to shed light on that journey to peace. Along with this passage we discuss how difficult it is to let go and let God.

I sat down with Tommy Sewall to record another episode where once again I am reminded of the power of STORY. There is something so simple about Tommy's journey, yet so profound at the same time.

Finding Balance is the key to our peace.  We need to believe in the BIG because God is Big Enough, but we need to live faithfully in the small things.But how can we find this balance?Well, it can be difficult. There is a lot of noise out there and frankly a lot of opinions whether it be having a better diet, get more sleep, exercise more, say no to more things or whatever else you can think of.  Don't get me wrong, these can be helpful. BUT, we need something else first.So, I reached out to my friend Chris Maxwell to help me understand how to have peace and more balance because his life was unraveled by a disease and it really changed everything.I hope you enjoy this 25 minute conversation and that you'll find his story helpful for your journey.Enjoy!Kevin Durhamwww.thisismystory.org

Every person has a story related to their health.  In the 1st Century Church, Christ followers pooled together to take care of the needs of their community.But is this concept possible today?Unfortunately the church as an institution is not meeting health care needs for believers in the same way. I suppose denominational differences, budget concerns and low tithing among other factors left this void.So, is there a para-Church organization that runs on the same Biblical model we read about in the book of Acts or are we stuck with high premiums and less than ideal customer care? We have good news! CHM is the worlds largest Biblically based, low cost sharing model and has amazing customer care services!I created this 15 minute episode with Ronnie Hopkins II, who works for Cristian Healthcare Ministries. Can't wait for you to learn more about this amazing organization, how they operate and what it's like to work there.Enjoy! Kevin Durham

Are you making any deals with God right now? I am sure we have all been guilty of this at some point in life.  As a kid, I remember praying, "God if you get my parents to buy me these new pair of shoes, I'll be nicer to my sister." Or, God if you help me pass this test in Algebra, I'll read my Bible everyday.  Something along those lines.  I also remember a time, late in the evening, when I was a youth pastor in college. Driving one of the guy students to his house. He was newer to the group and  didn't believe in God.  As we drove, we discussed the existence of God.At one point, this young man added.... "Oh, ye,h if God makes a bird fly in front of your car right now, then I'll believe in Him!"AAANNDD, of course you know what happened next. Not even a split second after he utters this statement,  a huge bird actually flew right in front of the windshield of my jeep, almost crashing into us.  I'd like to say because of the bird incident that this young man professed faith right then, but  like most of us, he did not hold up his end of the deal.In this episode however, Ronnie Hopkins shares a deal that he tried to make with God. "If you keep me from going to prison, I'll trust you."  Wait until you hear the outcome!!!

THIS CRAZY WHITE BOY, got on my nerves so bad, but he eventually changed my entire life for good. - Sharon Parker "
God asked me to forgive the man who did those things to me when I was a girl, so I could become the woman He wanted me to be." - Sharon Parker
No matter how far you may feel from God, you are only one step of faith from Him. Don't let your painful past or current struggle keep you from taking that first step towards finding your healing and purpose. God can change anyone. He is faithful. He is good. And He is love. And He will sometimes use the most unexpected person to work through. In my case, he used a "CRAZY WHITE BOY"
Sharon is one example of someone who truly felt like God couldn't love her. She was raped by a family member at 9 years old and spent 30+ years carrying that pain with her. She medicated with drugs and found a "fake" love from future men who wanted only one thing from her. As an adult, it was extremely difficult to have any faith that God was good and that He would be her healer. In this episode, we a blessed to hear her journey from a place of suicide to her becoming a strong and beautiful woman of faith. God healed her of it all.
Don't miss this episode because it is important for all of us to be in touch with the reality which Sharon had to live through. It will open your eyes to other people around you that you work with or otherwise to be a person of love and encouragement to. Because you never know how God will put in your path who needs your touch.
Enjoy this episode!
