Thankfulness is much more than a feeling — it’s an action; it’s something we can choose to be and do. Even when it’s hard. God cares deeply about whether we are thankful people. Stu Epperson has researched this topic thoroughly and offers great insights on how you and I can move our “thanksgiving” from one day a year into a lifestyle all year long.

Raising Wise Kids in a Digital World

War veteran Chad Robichaux uses a story of nearly being captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan to make an important point: when we are at a critical juncture in our life, we need to recognize that fact and then make a move. He calls it being “on the X.” Chad goes on to share how he almost committed suicide while suffering PTSD, and encourages his audience to fight against suicidal thoughts. He concludes by describing how a mission to save his Afghan interpreter turned into a huge evacuation of anyone targeted by the Taliban after American forces left Afghanistan.

Healing Begins Here - Trauma has a way of lingering – not just in memory, but in the body, in patterns of thought, and sometimes even in the way we relate to God. And yet, what has shaped you does not have to define you.
