Lord, Help Me Grow In You
As you are busily decorating, attending holiday parties, and planning inspiring services celebrating the Lord's birth, are you secretly whispering in your heart, "Lord, where are You?..."
When God Seems A Million Miles Away
Nobody ever told me in youth ministry that I would face many times when I was trying to bring the teenagers closer to Christ while I felt a million miles away from Him myself...
God Cares About Your Pain
If you want to be an EVEN IF Christian, you can’t live your life by what it feels like...
Quit Looking In Your Rear View Mirror
Who is, "The Toughest Person To Forgive"? Many times, it's ourselves!
Character Of God
The Bible promises in Isaiah, "I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord." When God places inside you the desire to know Him, you quickly discover His characteristics and attributes are endless...
When Bad Things Happen…Look at the CROSS
As He hung on the cross, Jesus identified with everybody who will ever innocently suffer...
Empty Chair Faith
As youth leaders, it's really easy to "talk about prayer" and yet rarely make personal time to pray ourselves.
Why Didn't God Fix It?
How could a really good God let that really bad thing happen to good people? Even when you've followed all the rules and done everything right… it happens. We know that God didn't cause that bad thing to happen. But the burning question is… Why didn't He stop it? He could have.
The Most Dangerous Form of DECEPTION
Your character won't be developed quickly. You rarely notice the changes while they're happening. Character changes aren't sexy or fun. But be careful...
What are my CIRCUMSTANCES telling me?
Taken from the message, "The Three Harbor Lights Of Guidance," Jeanne looks at lining up Circumstances, the Word of God, and the Peace of God when looking for God's Guidance.
You Have Encompassed this Mountain Long Enough
As followers of Christ, we can confidently rest in the promise of His guidance. When we get off course, we can trust Him to get us back on track.
Innocent Suffering
Jesus knows what it feels like to have life stink sometimes. Jesus on the cross doesn't just take away our sins...He was innocently suffering... innocently taking a rap for something He didn't bring on Himself.
Keeping Your FAITH In The VALLEYS
Jeanne talks candidly to a group of women who asked her..."How do you keep your faith in the valleys of life?"
EVEN IF Moments
Jesus answers prayers...but every once in a while it's an EVEN IF moment. Where for reasons that sometimes we don't know until we get to heaven, we don't always get the answers we want.
Living A Life Of Worship
We talk about worship all the time...it's a part of our every Sunday morning routine. But how big of a deal is "worship" in the Lord's eyes? In the Scripture He says it's THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL THE COMMANDMENTS. So, let's take a look at some thoughts when it comes to what biblical worship is and what it isn't.
On My Back Porch – First Things First!
If you're in ministry, remember, God doesn't call you to be His business associate, He calls you to be His son or His daughter. It is still agonizing to me how many people are in the ministry and don't carve out a consistent time, even if it's 10 minutes in the Word and 10 minutes in prayer each day, with the Lord. For me, it's my back porch time, for my husband, it was his appointment with the Lord. I don't know that it ever happens unless you consistently have a certain time of day you do it. For me, it's the first thing in the morning.
