For the son of God to be born of a virgin? I mean, really. To believe that he rose from the dead and bodily ascended into heaven? How utterly ridiculous. To believe in miracles? Or that those who obey God will rise from the dead and those who do not will burn in hell? God assumed from the beginning that the wise of the world would view Christians as fools… And he has not been disappointed… If I have brought any message today it is this: have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity… Be fools for Christ.

In fact, true peace is best detected and measured against the backdrop of commotion and confusion – when instability abounds, yet you remain steadfast; when disappointment and confusion are near, yet you’re still capable of walking with spirit-infused confidence, stability and steadiness.” Priscilla Shirer, The Armor of God "The Church’s mightiest influence is felt when she is different from the world in which she lives." A.W. Tozer "Here's what's at stake: when Christans lose their minds, people lose their faith."

New episodes air every other week on Tuesday. Season One Season One Topic: Hope, Help and Healing for the Diet-Weary Soul. Season One Description Laura Acuña began life as a ‘skinny girl’ but gained 100 pounds in one year at the young age of 11. From that time on, she lived on the diet and body image roller coaster, which never led to permanent weight loss or freedom from the pain she was numbing with food. Instead, she picked up a lifetime of broken thinking about herself, her God, and what His definition of freedom truly means. Thankfully, over the past few years, Laura has been on the healing path. Season One is an open invitation for you to join her on the journey and to discover true freedom has nothing to do with a number on the scale. Episode Ten: What Really Matters: Aging, Beauty and Resolutions in the New Year An excerpt from today’s episode: "There is nothing wrong with setting health, fitness and wellness goals for the new year. There's nothing wrong with that. But what I am saying is that there are other areas in our lives that need attention too. When we make what we look like equal to our worth, everything gets out of whack. What this world needs is women who are aging gracefully, who are growing in wisdom, and who are passing that on to the women coming up behind them."
