The Power of Three (Sue Carpenter shares about her book!)
Recently, Coral Ross joined me to interview Sue Carpenter about her very first children’s book: “The Power of Three.” It’s a powerful adventure tale about three brothers, a mysterious treasure, and a dragon that grows stronger with fear. And while most kids use their imagination to escape boredom, these brothers use theirs to face danger…

Building a Pipeline of Blessing for Your Family
Relentless Generational Blessings: Living Beyond Yourself Have you ever wondered what your life will echo beyond your final breath?

We are Tired of Listening to Men
“Mr Moody, there must be more prayer. The speaking here is excellent but there is too much of it in proportion to prayer. We do not have time to pray. We get tired when going to meetings, listening to men. We must have more time to speak to God and to listen to Him.” – Andrew…

Church? Spectators vs Participants
