We so often fail in our relationships with our families, our partners, our friends, and fellow humans because we are lazy in our love for one another, says Keion Henderson, pastor of the mega-church Lighthouse Church in Houston. Lazy love prevents us from experiencing the deep, soulful fulfillment we long to know. It keeps us from being known and enjoyed by those around us. In his new book Lazy Love, Henderson unpacks the four kinds of love mentioned in the Bible and shows listeners how each shapes our relationships and our lives.

Never in history, until now, have we been able to hear from so many people around the world who have been brought back from clinical death. Modern medical resuscitation and digital communication have revealed a goldmine of intriguing near-death experiences (NDEs) that show us the character of God. John Burke has spent the last three decades studying the commonalities of more than 1000 NDEs. His investigative journey started as a skeptical agnostic, when his own father was dying from cancer.

On this earth, a crown is what separates victors from the rest of the competitors, but the goal of creating a life worth living is not to gain a trophy, get a prize, or keep the crown. Our lives are not meant to be about being number one or making our own names known. While walking you through the journey of her evolving confidence—from basing her identity on temporary labels and her own efforts, to discovering the rock-solid security of anchoring her dreams in her Maker—Demi weaves her story together with the insights she's learned along the way.

Many American Christians are struggling to find places of worship which reflect their core conservative beliefs. Today, many Evangelical leaders are pushing their members to “whisper” about sexual sins, reconsider abortion, lament the effects of climate change, and repent of “perpetuating systemic racism.” Meanwhile, America’s largest Evangelical denominations are fraught with division over issues like critical race theory, and many ministries are now promoting social justice rather than Scripture.

God created us with divinely sophisticated tools and features, but most of us aren’t using them. The result is an inner worth we aren’t aware of, and a life unknowingly lived at half capacity. Neighbor, Love Yourself launches an internal expedition to uncover hidden features installed long ago. Our inner worth isn’t rusty, just dusty. As we locate and reconnect vital principles and truths, we will unearth a value inside ourselves that most of us have never come anywhere close to experiencing.

Differences of opinion have always been part of life. For decades, spouses, family members, co-workers, and neighbors have had spirited conversations about politics, social issues, religion, current events, and even sports. But what was different in the past is that these disagreements wouldn’t sever ties between family and friends.

What might we be missing when we think of God as a Father? What deep longings of our soul can only be fulfilled in His presence, in His embrace? In the deepest corners of our hearts, we wonder: How approachable is He? How forgiving? How generous? There's a journey ahead, and while it may be uncharted territory for many who love God, it promises to be a journey well worth taking. All it requires is the courage to accept the Father’s invitation and take that bold first step.

If you did a historical survey of racism in the United States, the overarching theme would be one of compromise and complicity. These uncomfortable realities of the past have been too often minimized or outright denied. But there's more to the story of Christianity than merely the failure of its adherents to confront racism. Just as there were those who created and perpetuated racist ideas and actions, there were those who resisted them. The Spirit of Justice reveals the stories of the people who fought against racism and agitated for justice—all in the name of their faith.

In the year 2021, amidst worldwide fear, chaos, riots, and economic shutdowns resulting from the COVID-19 global pandemic, I was diagnosed with cancer.
