When the Blessing Breaks By Andrea Leigh Capuyan
What happens when the blessing breaks? What happens when the blessing breaks? Broken open. Exposed. The tearing of the crust.

Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any…
God Gives Rest By Ed McDowell
Are you ready to receive his rest? It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones. Psalms 127:2 NLT I write this near the beginning of a season of rest (sabbatical) granted to me…
The Challenge We Share By R. Scott Rodin

But a recent experience has moved me deeply and convinced me that there may be…
The Path to Leadership Failure By R. Scott Rodin
Time to Assess if You Are on the Path to Failure Every day, we hear stories of leadership failure. Some are national in scope, some regional, some in our own communities.
