God amazes me. Two and a half years ago, God directed me to write a Bible study, Tested by Fire. In April of this year a revised version of that study will become available for distribution to bookstores across the country. I have no idea where God will take it, but I remember well where […]
I’m praying that last week’s break offered you some time to get caught up in your lessons. Thank you for your patience while we dealt with some overwhelming snow conditions! Thankfully, we’re back on track and ready to advance into God’s beautiful plan. Dear one, God wants to do amazing things in your life. But […]
Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” Luke 9:23 I’m guessing that’s not one of your favorite scriptures.

Thank you so much for joining me on this online journey through Tested by Fire. This first video will be slightly longer than most of our sessions together because it includes some of my testimony and some background on the book. Watch the introductory video below to discover what you can expect from this study […]
