My mother said, “Be nice to everyone, because everyone has problems!” But how does one move from hurting to healing? Out of my own attempts to do so, I share my stories.

Even though life may feel complicated, God’s love for you never is. Vast and ever-present, God’s love is unchanging. No matter what challenges you face, you can expect His goodness, His presence, His provision.

God wants every one of us to have a STRONG FAITH—one that not only sees us through the rough times in life but also shapes us and makes us more and more like Christ. Bishop David A.

As human beings, anxiety is often our natural response towards matters we have yet to understand or solve. But the Spirit of God gives us the power to go through all kinds of seasons.

We have all experienced pain at some point in our lives, be it emotional, physical, or psychological. We can wallow in our pain or we can impact lives with our painful experiences.

May God open your eyes to the wisdom behind every hurt, disappointment or loss.

Over the next four days, we will review biblical truths and practical leadership tips that will challenge you, equip you, and encourage you as you build a foundation of confidence in a God whose strength is greater than any challenge that may come your way.
