JESUS IS LIFE

Some invitations just go on the calendar, and others stay with you. This one stuck. I was invited to share a message at an elementary Christian school, and I walked in expecting what you’d expect with kids—some energy, a little distraction, maybe a few wandering eyes. But almost right away, I realized this was going to be different. I introduced them to “Dr....

Fueling the Mission

How Speed the Light Helped Fuel the Mission (and My Subaru) They say you can’t put a price on a good adventure—but if you’ve ever driven a Subaru packed with photobooth props, adaptive equipment, and a suspicious number of Hershey chocolate bars, you know ministry on the move takes more than a full tank of gas. Because of STL support, my Subaru has crisscrossed counties delivering supplies to camps for kids and adults with special needs—where…...

Sharing Hope

Serving Families Through the Mobile Clothing Closet & Christmas Program Over the past season, I’ve had the joy of volunteering with Anchored Ministries through both their Mobile Clothing Closet and their Christmas Program—two outreach efforts that quietly, faithfully, and powerfully change lives in our community. A Closet on Wheels, and A Whole Lot of Love Anchored Ministries hosts two to four Mobile Clothing Closet events every month, which means that on any given week, you might find a small team of volunteers unloading racks, setting up tables, and welcoming families with big smiles....

What I’m sharing here is unusual for me, but when I meet a business owner who lives out his faith both personally and professionally, I feel compelled to share. Ryan Morse, owner of Crucible Performance , is one of those men of God who gives selflessly and seeks only to honor God in all he does. Let’s support him by voting for his business and for him as a trainer, recognizing his commitment to following God’s guidance in all areas of his life, especially as he operates openly as a faith-based business.

When I first walked into Crucible Performance and met Ryan, the owner and my trainer, I expected nothing more than a physical challenge. I thought it would be about lifting weights, building endurance, and maybe regaining some mobility so I could better keep up with my children and grandchildren. What I didn’t expect was how deeply God would use this journey to reshape me—not just physically, but spiritually....

Courageous Camp 2025 was life-changing! Campers discovered their gifts, led us in authentic worship, and even our first-time counselors left transformed. Thank you for making moments like this possible! 💛

Weeks of Growth, Friendship, and Ministry This summer, we had the joy of partnering with Ability Tree to host two weeks of Adult Special Needs Camp, where the theme each week was “Courageous” from …

This summer’s Kids Camp was one to remember! With a savannah theme, our days were filled with adventure, laughter, and powerful moments with God. Lions, hyenas, sunsets, and safari fun set the stage for our camp theme: “Live Brave”, inspired by our verse from Joshua 1:9 (NLT) "I command you—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."...

Merry Christmas

Ah, Camp Wannahockalugie—the name alone sparks a smile, doesn’t it? It’s the kind of place where kids trade their screens for sunshine, their everyday worries for water wars, and their usual routine for something extraordinary. This summer, we embraced the theme of Trailbreaker, inspired by Isaiah 40:3: “A voice of one calling: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.’”...

Have you ever entered into the Holy of Holies? Have you ever stood on Holy ground and been in the very presence of God? Have you really thought about sitting next to Jesus in your most favorite place? What did the conversation with Jesus sound like as you sat and talked with Him? Did you feel the warmth of His presence as you sat there with Him, saying nothing?...
