Why You and Your Spouse Should Have a MOUNTAIN TOP EXPERIENCE Together

Last updated on: April 24, 2017 at 1:27 pm   By Ashley Willis

A few months ago, my husband had the amazing opportunity to travel to Israel for 10 days with some awesome Christian leaders, speakers, musicians, and athletes.  It was truly one of those “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunities.  I was invited to go too, but I didn’t feel like it was the right time for both of us to go clear across the world with such young kiddos at home.  So, I encouraged Dave to go alone this time, and he did.  The other... Read more

When You Feel HOPELESS, Remember THIS

Last updated on: April 11, 2017 at 7:58 am   By Ashley Willis

GUEST POST by Christan Barnett I’ve been drained lately. I just feel at the end of myself, which is likely right where God wants me. Nevertheless, its painful, scary and uncomfortable to say the least. This morning I was sitting reading in Lamentations. I had forgotten how much I love this book of the Bible.
