God's people are meant to be a blessing to others. Yet in the Scriptures, throughout history, and in our own times we too often see the people of God causing harm to people on the margins. Rather than caring for the widowed and the orphaned or loving the sojourner, too often we see abuse of power that breaks spirits and inflicts lasting harm. For anyone who has felt left out or pushed out of the church.. we hear you. God hears you.

Ever feel like it's easier to believe we'll meet God in the afterlife than it is to feel God at work in this life, with its chores and schedules and messes and unrealized dreams? The truth is, God is at work every day of our lives, but because this work is quieter than we expect, we so often dismiss it as coincidence or chance. What if we could clearly understand those divine whispers? What if listening to them is the beginning of living out our truest story and purpose?

With these changes, new interpretations can foster feelings of love or hate for a particular word! Listeners weighed in, sharing the words......they love to hate.

Loneliness. We’ve all been there haven’t we? Maybe you’re there right now. For years, Steve DeWitt was the only never married megachurch pastor in the United States. This put him in proximity to thousands of people, yet he lived his daily life alone. Over some 8,000 days as an adult single, and now eleven years of marriage, Pastor Steve has a unique perspective on solitude and aloneness. There’s so much encouragement in thinking about how the gospel of Jesus Christ can empower us to redeem the deep ache of loneliness!

Everyone experiences what writer Karen Wade Hayes calls "Too Much Times,” perfect storms where our most demanding challenges meet our most significant weaknesses and can lead to our lowest moments. “Too Much Times” are days, weeks, or whole years marked by too many demands, responsibilities, and burdens and not enough internal and external resources to keep all the balls in the air. They often develop in times of sorrow or sickness. Karen joined us with a reminder that NOTHING is too much for God! Listeners also weighed in with their own stories, with assurance that God is in it with us!

Blogger Mary Nolte writes this: “We were preparing for our daughter’s wedding when she called me one day in a slight panic, “Mom, I have no pictures of myself from 2009-2011! What happened?” Mary calls them the “missing years." You might have some, too. That goes for all of us! Mary dropped by to pass along some wisdom.
