EXPLORING THE JOURNEY OF CHRISTIAN GROWTH Personal transformation requires radical change. It has been said that the only thing you can count on in this world is that nothing stays the same. You can change your address, your job, your wardrobe, your friends—you can even change your name—BUT your life will not transform until you change the way you think. Becoming a Christian ignites the process of transformation. Your relationship with God, eternal destination, and true self become new. Yet even with all these wonderful changes, we are left in a world, remain in a body, and are stuck ...

God wants you to be a prayer warrior and will help you.

This isn’t a book about the weather; it’s about our lives. The word “storms” describes the difficult and challenging seasons we all face periodically. However, as believers, we don’t have to feel helpless or hopeless. God has established powerful principles and strategies to help us thrive (not just survive) in the midst of life’s challenges. In the Bible, Jonah, the Disciples, and Paul all faced storms at sea. The storms came for different reasons and deliverance came in diverse ways. Most importantly, they all got through their storms and made it to the other side. There, ...
