Q & A with Meshali Mitchell

Portrait artist, lover of people, and storyteller Meshali Mitchell is joining us on our Spotlight Q & A today! She is immensely talented, and the quality of her work is very personal for me!

Q & A with Amie Dockery

I’ve been an admirer of Amie Hayes Dockery for many years and for many reasons. To me, she has always been the picture of humility in action. She carries an air of dignity and grace that is always punctuated with a fiery determination to push through difficulty, fight against wrong and stand firmly for truth. I love […]

Make the Change

Throughout the 1990’s, one of my favorite weekend activities was renting movies from Blockbuster Videos. This chain of businesses had locations that stretched across the entire country to offer cinematic entertainment long before online streaming became a thought in our minds. My friends and I would make a night of it: order pizza and sodas, […]

Fire from Heaven

Trent was a college football standout but his NFL dreams were cut short and he was left with […]

Q & A with Kevin and Melissa Fredericks

Years ago, I ran into a video clip circulating on the Internet that made me laugh so hard I thought I might never recover. I soon discovered that the comedian behind the hilarity was Kevin Fredericks, aka @KevOnStage! He and his wife, Melissa, aka @MrsKevOnStage, have supported one another’s individual endeavors for 13+ years of […]

Beyond the Horizon

2021, we made it!  But, what now? With 2020 came many experiences that rocked us. We were taught to adapt to unforeseen circumstances, to roll with the punches. Our faith was challenged as we yielded in surrender to God. The events of last year, and those that have bled into these first few weeks, should […]

Q & A with Paige Clayton

Jerry and I met Paige Clayton nearly fifteen years ago when she moved to Nashville to work as the Director of Adult Live Events for LifeWay. Since then, we’ve worked closely with her to curate conferences for women. I’ve watched her, along with her team, host gatherings with upwards of 20K women from different denominations, […]

Finding Gratitude in 2020

Have you ever heard of a Gratitude Jar? It’s a special jar that holds slips of paper with statements of gratitude. The idea is to write down something you are grateful for and place it in the jar for safekeeping. It serves as a reminder of all that God has done and is doing in […]
