So I Heard From God Today

Last updated on: June 4, 2018 at 9:29 am By Ericka Andersen

“Because of the Lord’s great love, we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness.” — Lamentations 3:22-23 Do you ever feel CONSUMED? Consumed by emotion, anxiety, fear…by your very self? In the past few weeks, I’ve felt consumed by emotions, scattered as I try to reconcile my many imperfections as a Christian — as a human — with this great big message God gave me to deliver in our book....

Why Being Available Matters as a Christian

Last updated on: April 25, 2018 at 7:03 am By Ericka Andersen

You know when you keep getting the same message sent to you in 43 different ways? That’s God trying to tell you something. Last week, I heard Bob Goff say this: “Being a Christian means living a life of interruptions.” He also noted that being available is one of the greatest ways we can share Christ with people. Ever notice how hard it is to make time for people? You schedule them in two weeks down the road for coffee,... Read more

Samantha Bee Joke About Mike Pence’s ‘Personal Hell’ is Completely Inaccurate

Last updated on: April 16, 2018 at 7:19 am By Ericka Andersen

I’ve noticed an odd trend among some celebrity women — making Vice-President Mike Pence a punchline when it makes absolutely zero sense. They don’t like Pence because he has the gall to respect women and his wife in a way that they think is silly. As is well known, he chooses not to have meals or meetings in private along with women other than his wife. Maybe it’s not for you, but big deal — it’s his way of holding... Read more

We Disagree. I Still Respect You.

Last updated on: March 1, 2018 at 2:00 pm By Ericka Andersen

One of the worst things about the increasingly partisan atmosphere we face in America today is the loss of civility and respect. People seem to think that if you don’t agree with them, you are condemning who they are. They think if you have a different solution to a problem, you don’t actually care about the problem. When someone in the spotlight attempts to foster respect in the face of disagreement, the internet mob comes after them. And it’s not... Read more
