When Life Hurts

I get lots of calls, letters, and emails requesting prayer. Each request is different. Some requests just really stand out. That’s the case with “Frieda” who asked for prayer. After 16 years of marriage her husband wanted out. He met another woman online. He felt “alive” with the other woman and wanted a new life. Despite her tears and prayers, the marriage ended. Why such needless suffering? Frieda was suffering, and her children were confused. With more questions than answers they marched forward but the profound sense of loss and suffering continued.

You are Not Invisible

The long lineages with hard to pronounce names are there to help us see that God does not miss anything. We may not get the credit we deserve at work or home. We may feel invisible in certain areas of our personal or professional life. But God’s Word declares he takes notice when a single sparrow falls to the ground. Then He says our lives have more value than the sparrow.

The Feather Boa

Several years ago, a counselor joined me on the Bridges set. We were at the top of a new year and my guest was eager to give tips on how to start the new year off right. I was excited to hear the tips and I knew our viewers would benefit also.

Three Secrets

I’ll never forget one particular Bridges interview with the Neill’s. During that episode Mrs. Neill shared that she was a breast cancer survivor. Her fight against cancer included a double mastectomy. As she shared her journey and miraculous recovery, she made a statement that spoke volumes.

The Best Weight You'll Ever Lose

While I was aware that we live in a culture that celebrates outward appearance, I had no idea how this value played out in everyday conversation.

Stay in Your Own Lane

We all have a lane – a place that highlights who we are and accentuates our God given unique gifts and talents. We live in a world filled with choices and opportunities. There are many good options readily available but finding your lane is about what’s best for you. Finding your lane starts with knowing when to say Yes and when to say No.

What is Truth?

In our uncertain times it is more important than ever to have a strong biblical foundation. Jesus encourages us in John chapter 16 to take heart because He has overcome the world. As the world embraces darkness we can choose to live in the truth. The darkness will never overtake the light.

Silence Speaks Louder Than Words

In our quest to keep the conversation going and avoid the discomfort of silence, we may be missing out on authentic opportunities to connect with others. Maybe running out of things to say may not be so bad after all.

He Hears Every Prayer

I wrote that prayer 45 years ago. At that time, I was crying out for God to answer my prayers immediately. I wanted the pain of attending church all by myself to go away right that second. However, I began to see that while I could pour my heart out to God and ask for a suddenly, that I could also yield to His Lordship with nevertheless Your Will Be Done.

You Are Not Alone

Every Christmas season we usually plan a few special Bridges shows. Several years ago, we had five artists scheduled to come to the studio to do Christmas music. The entire WHTN team was excited to start the holiday season on such a festive note. Just a couple of days before we were scheduled to film my family received some devastating news.
