2025/09/25

Send us a text In this episode, Sharon breaks down what it means to have a friendship with Jesus. Some friends come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Once we accept Him as our Savior, He comes into our lives to stay--through the good, the bad, and the ugly. He never leaves us, nor forsakes us. They say to have a friend, you have to be one. Jesus is our friend even when we don't give Him the time of day. God made us for relationship. That works both ways. We should long for...

Send us a text The unthinkable happens. The unbearable lands on our doorstep. We get the news or the call no one ever wants to receive. Tragedy hits with a blow that knocks, not only the breath out of us, but the life out of us too. Our hearts break so much they physically hurt. It is tempting in these storms to turn our backs on God, to blame Him, and to be angry. How can a loving God allow such terrible things to happen to good people? Peace. We need peace!

This passage offers wisdom and encouragement in navigating life's challenges for today's woman. The branches draw life and nutrients from the main vine. Without this connection, the branches would wither and die, and be incapable of producing any fruit. Only Jesus can produce the Fruits of the Spirit in o...

It is every Christian's job--even when we are scared, even when we don't know what to say, even when we feel so unequipped. Every child of God has the mandate to share the gospel. The newest Christian is supposed to share what they know with others and point them to God's Word and to those who can help more with sharing about what Jesus has done for us.
