Abundant Grace – Emily Louis Have you ever felt like religion has complicated your life? Have you ever felt like you are struggling to “check all of the boxes” to make sure you’re doing everything you need to do in order to remain in “good standing with God?”  Or perhaps checking all the boxes to make sure you “fit in at church?” Or perhaps you’re doing this to “fit in at work?” Or whatever… Well, if that describes you or perhaps some things you think about, I’ve got great news for you today!  Our guest today had those same thoughts.

Those Who Can’t Teach Shelley Kenow pt 2 We’ve seen news reports about how the COVID lockdowns has detrimentally affected the aptitude scores of school age children. We’ve seen reports of how many students are still struggling in school. Those two years of the shutdown has set many students back years in their ability to use applied knowledge to their studies. But there is also another group of students that suffered greatly. Their stories are not being promoted or discussed very much in the public sector. But that is nothing new. For many special needs students, their stories have not been that “front and center” that often. The teachers tasked with helping these special needs children also struggle in trying to help them achieve success. The COVID lockdowns also affected them. There is just something “missing” with virtual learning that cost our children dearly during COVID, especially in the Special Needs community. My guest today has been working with special needs children for over 25 years. Shelley Ken

The Truth of the Matter Is… Jonathan Drayton pt 2 Jonathan Drayton was raised in a traditional Christian home, living my his faith, basically  through the shelter of his parents. After finishing college, having read all these books to get good grades in school, graduating with degrees in Philosophy, Political Science and History, he discovered he was still lacking something. He came to the realization that he needed to accept the reality that the Holy Bible, which was just sitting sat on the bookshelf collecting dust at the time.

A Prisoner’s Pardon Michelle Jackson pt 2 As we witness the continuous degradation of our society, one thing that continues to catch news headlines is the rampant violent crime happening all over America right now. Mainly in our inner cities, but it is not exclusive to those cities. Teenagers taking guns to school. Elementary kids taking guns to school. Kids killing kids over things that used to result in fist fights. Now, they settle it with guns. Add to that, the ever increasing alure of “money and fame” by so called, music icons whose lyrics does nothing but promote violence and things like that. “Well, Brother Bob, that’s just the culture. The music reflects what’s happening in the streets.” My response, “Why is happening to begin with?”  What has caused us to accept it as normal? Why have we accepted this as normal? What can be done about it? What are some of the personal ramifications that others experience, besides the victims and the perpetrators? Our guest today is Michelle Jackson. I’ve known Miche

There have been more murders there over the last ten years than the military experienced over ten years in Afghanistan. Think about that. But yet, it’s just “normal.” Here in Baltimore,

The Generational Awakening  Harry Bryans As we see things happening, which the Bible clearly tells us they WILL be happening in the final days, we also see a major problem in the Body of Christ. Discipleship. Rather, a “lack of discipleship.” The Global Church is experiencing a Discipleship Crisis where as few as 10% of youth in our Christian families and churches are considered as having a clear and “resilient” faith, and increasing numbers are leaving the church. We need an awakening by God of all the generations in the Church today to see things from God’s perspective and discover how He would have us intentionally and proactively work together to more effectively nurture our children to become Resilient, Lifelong Disciples of Jesus. Amen! To help this effort, our guest today is leading an effort to make that happen!  Harry Bryans has over 38 years’ experience serving as a missionary on a local church pastoral team, with children’s, youth and family ministries in Europe.  He has helped launch youth minist

The Plans He Has for Me Rose Ann Forte pt 2 Alcohol is something that will make you do things you thought you would never do; take you places you thought you would never go and then keep you there longer than you thought you would stay… I know. I was a functioning alcoholic for about 25 years. But for God and His deliverance. It’s now been over 30 years of living a great life alcohol free. Praise God. Our guest today has also struggled with alcohol and found herself in a place where she did not want to be.  But for God and His deliverance. Amen! Rose Ann Forte was a “C Suite Executive” and a ministry leader in her church. She was also a working mom and had the casual social drink along the way. But over the years, the problems of a difficult marriage and stresses of life caused her health and emotional wellbeing to be challenged. After the collapse of her marriage, her drinking further escalated and she felt like a fraud at church. But, during the COVID lockdowns, she realized what was happening, and what al
