088 Terese Talk: Journey To Us

Marriage is a beautiful gift. And also, one of the hardest relationships we face in life. It’s been said that “Marriage is one of God’s primary workshops for change.” So, how can we grow, and change, to be more like Christ, along with our spouse?

 

Rich and Wendy Crawford, are marriage counselors with Focus on the Family. They are leading the Journey to Us marriage conference coming up in Oneonta, NY on September 27th and 28th. They talk with Terese Main about how two imperfect people, who come together in marriage, can grow to be more like Christ.

087 Terese Talk: In the Garden

The Bible is full of gardens. From Eden to Eternity, they are a place to worship, nourish ourselves, and to work. There is so much we can learn from our earthly gardens too. Maybe you’ve spent months toiling and are now reaping the harvest. It’s evidence of God’s faithfulness.

Andrea Burke is a Rochester, NY based gardener who is also a lover of Jesus. Her book, “A Bit of Earth” is a divine blend of poetry, devotional and gardening tips.

Her voice is powerful—and not just with her singing—but with what she has to say. CeCe Winans has become a beacon in the world of Christian music—from a career with her family in the 90s to worship anthems you hear on the radio today. I was hardly a Christian when you were first making music…and so I haven’t become a fan until very recently…

085 Terese Talk: Step Up Your Health

dr%20pam%20hope_edited.jpgWhat does it mean to be healthy? If you watch all the medicine commercials on TV, you might think you have to pop ten pills a day to reach optimum health. Or you might subscribe to a more holistic approach, that considers the mental and spiritual health, along with the physical. Dr. Pam Grover has a medical practice in Penfield, NY. She felt out of place in traditional medicine, where quick fixes were often seen as the the only way to health. She’ll be speaking as part of the upcoming Step Up Your Health seminar at Family Life.

080 Terese Talk: Behind the Lights

080 Terese Talk: Behind the Lights

It’s a role often unseen—but deeply influential. The role of a mother. When you look at successful families, you’ll often find a sweet, quiet spirit in the shadows. That is the case with Helen Smallbone. You probably know her daughter, Rebecca St. James, or her sons, Luke and Joel of For King & Country. They’re just three of her seven kids. And then there’s her husband, David—who is also prominent in the Christian music world. Cheering them all on is a woman filled with grace and determination. She is the focus of the upcoming movie, “Unsung Hero.” She’s also the author of the book, “Behind the Lights,” which tells the incredible story of her family’s move from Australia to the American music scene. Purchase the book here.

079 Terese Talk: Abuse in the Church

079 Terese Talk: Abuse in the Church

It’s something we don’t like to talk about. It’s something we don’t even like to think about. But the reality is 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 13 boys experience some sort of child sexual abuse. It’s usually perpetrated by someone the child knows. Those are the stats from the CDC. Those numbers are likely under-reported, because often times abuse is kept secret.

Faith Ingraham has lived with that secret most of her life. She grew up in the church, as a pastor’s kid and was repeatedly abused by her father. Her mother became aware of the abuse. But it remained in the dark for the rest of the family, and for the church. Now, Faith and her husband, Dale teach churches how to respond biblically. Their “Breaking the Silence” seminar is coming up February 11th at Grace Community Church in Painted Post, NY. You can find out more here.
