The President’s reading, prerecorded in the Oval Office and broadcast during the 6 p.m. ET hour, centered on one of the most widely cited passages in American spiritual life:   “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” CLICK TO WATCH FULL VIDEO The selection reflects a passage long associated with prayer, humility, and national reflection. While presidents throughout American history have quoted Scripture, none have read a lengthy, uninterrupted section of Scripture from the Oval Office, occurring without commentary or being integrated into a speech or public address. Not since President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s has a sitting president quoted the popular passage to the nation.  “I am so deeply impacted by the power of the leader of the free world reading the Bible in simplicity,” said Bunni Pounds, President and CEO ...

Women need each other despite their differences, experiences, or their past failures. If you are part of a Christian small group either in your church, through a parachurch ministry, or in your community then you have something special. You have community. You have connection. You have a place where you can be yourself. In your group, once you have come to a place where you have shared your hopes, fears, and goals with one another, it helps to bring in an outside perspective. Some groups do this. They bring in a guest speaker. Someone to encourage, uplift, and hold up your hand. Someone to remind you to keep on keeping on.  Today I have a freebie to offer you that can do just that—encourage you. This download was created to go along with The Art of Resilience, a book in which I am a contributor.   Use this Small Group Discussion Question Freebie as a stand alone resource to discuss faith, courage, and love with your group . If the questions spark a sense of hope and enco...

  Please Note: One of the testimonies in this film is from a young woman saved out of a strip club, so please be advised that though the topic is addressed tactfully, this film is not suitable for younger viewers.  He Calls Me Daughter is for women who have felt unseen, unsupported,  or unsure of their worth. Through intimate, first-person stories, viewers follow women as they begin to name the pain they’ve carried for years: father wound.

He Calls Me Daughter is an invitation to experience the love of a Father who does not withdraw—One who offers peace, belonging, and restoration.   Looking for a meaningful study for your women’s small group—or something powerful for your own personal study time? This FREE 6-week  Healing the Father Wound  curriculum is designed to help women reflect, renew, and reclaim their identity as beloved d...
