It’s rodeo time in Houston, Texas, and that makes it the perfect time to highlight one of our CROP partners, The Fellowship of Christian Cowboys . FCC is on mission to reach cowboys, cowgirls, and all who cherish the western lifestyle with the Gospel, sharing the message of hope and salvation through faith. I learned from Angela Everhart, Office Manager for FCC, that the organization was founded in 1974 by two rodeo cowboys—a rodeo clown and a calf roper/steer wrestler. The F

Why God’s Timing Is Worth the Wait That’s a great question — why is His timing worth the wait? I know that sometimes when weighing things out, I don’t find some things worth waiting for. Like, is it really worth waiting an hour and a half for a table at a restaurant? No, I don’t think so.

For example, I was just on the Bible App website wanting to open the Bible section. I kept clicking “Bible,” wondering why the screen wasn’t changing… then I realized I was already on it.

I think this describes Jesus. He was blunt, honest, and open. He was transparent. He had no agenda other than doing God’s work. He was discerning, and He brought grace, mercy, and salvation through the c

In our minds, we can say we are willing, but when it comes down to it, is your heart willing? There is a parable about a rich young ruler coming to Jesus saying, “I have followed every law. What else do I need to do to follow you?” And Jesus says, “Give up all you have and follow me.” The young ruler was heartbroken; he couldn’t and didn’t want to give up all he had. This is being willing but not fully willing. I was reading Joshua 2 and came across an unlikely willing perso

This month, we are excited to shine a light on Hope House , a maternity home that is part of Anchor Point’s network of community services. With a mission to empower, encourage, and educate young mothers facing an unplanned pregnancy while lacking a safe, supportive environment, Hope House meets these precious women in the middle of uncertainty—and does exactly that. It all begins with an application process. As I reviewed the steps in preparation for sharing them with you, I
