    More with Less: a conversation with Bryan and Tami Tacker

    If you would like to learn more about how you can help with the children's home in India or the congregation of lepers you can reach Bryan Tacker at tackerb@yahoo.com or bryan@cedarparkfriends.org One of my goals with this podcast is to introduce an audience I love to people I love. I’d love for you to meet Bryan and Tami Tacker.  I first met Tami through an organization called Sacred Selections.  Sacred Selections is a nonprofit that helps raise funds to alleviate the financial burden of adoption for Christian families.  Sacred Selections helped bring home many of my children as well as hundreds of other children into their respective families.  But in talking with Tami, I found out that her and her husband, Bryan, are also deeply involved in some amazing work in India.  Bryan and Tami are exceptional people with a heart for children, the disenfranchised, and the spreading of the gospel in India.  We talk about how they first got involved in helping a children’s home there, as well as the amazing work being done by a congregation of lepers. We also talk about how it all started with a providential encounter with a Christian named Billy. For the sake of safety, we don’t use Billy’s last name or talking about the specifics of where the children’s home is in India because persecution of Christians in India, both economically and politically, is a very real danger, but if you want to get involved or help, there are details in the show notes of how to get more information.           I entitled this conversation ‘More with Less’ and I think you will find that amongst the larger details of these good works happening in India, you will hear some amazing stories about people who have done more with less and really make me want to be a better person.  I’m grateful for the Tackers and others like them doing this sort of work to help souls, and I’m better for the time talking to them.  I think you will be, too.  Send us a text "Remember, you are loved, so go, love better!"

    The UnLovables: the Unseen and the Unclean

    This is the third in a series of episodes entitled The Unlovables.  Today, we are going to study an uncomfortable group of people that Jesus was REALLY good at loving, but most of us aren’t.  The unseen and the unclean.  From beggars to lepers to prostitutes and thieves – Jesus loved those on the edges.  The people that for various reasons were culturally, financially, or morally outcasts.   How did He do that?  And how does He expect us to do that?

    Work Worth Doing: a conversation with Larry Coffey

    One of my goals with this podcast is to introduce an audience I love to people I love. I’d love for you to meet Larry Coffey.  Larry is 85 years old, but you’d never know it by talking to him.  He’s articulate and thoughtful with a kind smile and an engaging way about him.    Larry and his lovely wife Joan are beautiful people.  They have seen a lot in their lives and yet after 53 years of marriage they still speak fondly of one another and you can tell genuinely love one another.  Larry is retired now, but he was a very savvy businessman who was blessed with much success.  Success that he consistently and firmly attributes to the Lord.  Larry kindly gave me of his time (even retired he is busier than most folks) to sit down and talk about life.  We discussed American culture, money, the power of philanthropy, family, marriage, and what makes a successful life.

    The UnLovables: The Chronic Complainer

    Episode Summary: In this episode of Love Better, , The Unlovables, exploring the people who challenge our capacity to love. This week’s focus? The chronic complainer — the grumbler, the murmurer, the person who can find a cloud in every silver lining. From outrageous lawsuits to the complaints of the Israelites in the wilderness, we dive deep into why chronic complaining is a problem — both spiritually and relationally — and how to love those who grumble without getting pulled into the negativity. What You'll Learn: ✅ The difference between venting and chronic complaining ✅ Biblical examples of complainers (and God's response) ✅ Two practical strategies to love chronic complainers without enabling them: Don’t let the contagion spread – Know when to disengageHelp them reframe toward God – Redirect conversations to gratitude and faith ✅ How reframing our own mindset helps us become part of the solution, not the problemKey Scriptures: 📖 Romans 2:1 – We often judge complainers while doing the same 📖 Philippians 2:14-15 – "Do all things without grumbling or disputing" 📖 Proverbs 26:20 – “Without wood, a fire goes out” 📖 Colossians 3:1-3 – Set your mind on things above 📖 Romans 8:28 – God works all things for good Quotes to Remember: 👉 “Complaints are verbal lawsuits against God and others.” 👉 “Loving chronic complainers takes wisdom… and sometimes setting boundaries.” 💌 Have a story, historical fact, or uplifting news to share?

    The UnLovables: the Perpetual Victim

    This is a first in a multi-part series that I am entitling 'The UnLovables'. There are certain people in our lives and communities that are quite difficult to love.  From those that betray and violate our trust to that arrogant know-it-all brother-in-law some people require the very best of our character to love because loving them is complicated by their poor choices and character.  How do you love someone who is self-absorbed? Or ungrateful?  How do you learn to love better when the other person isn’t choosing to be better?  What about loving someone who is aggressive – even abusive?  These are all fair questions that deserve Bible answers. Today, we are going to take a look at a type of person that I myself find very difficult to love – the perpetual victim.   Send us a text "Remember, you are loved, so go, love better!"
