She has been actively involved in what she calls intentional discipleship for years. Thankfully for us, she’s committed the ‘how’ of all that into a book called Mentor for Life. Some of the…

I’ve never given any of those movies the time of day that tell the story of someone who has gone to heaven and come back. I roll my eyes at those things and think, “Seriously, you expect me to believe that?” Enter…

I like sticking to singular topics, but I also enjoy when a variety of topics are raised and the dialog meanders over the river and through the woods and back again. I have no expectation to arrive at grandmother’s house! My husband Mike Murphy…

My son is now 23 years of age and a thoughtful young man. Maybe even an old soul. I enjoy a good conversation with him about once a week. He lives in…

She speaks with authority, which is something I really enjoy about her. When Nicole talks, you sit up and listen. She is a counselor, Bible teacher, and author. She also writes for a variety of publications, including Relevant, Leadership Journal, and Today’s Christian Woman. She…

We usually don’t project out the possible story lines when we first meet someone. Or if we do, they are nice rosy stories of going to concerts and picnics, of having play dates and spending holidays…

It was fun having two millennials on the panel along with a 50-something and 60-something panelist. This week we keep the same panel (Anita Lustrea, Mike Murphy, John Lustrea,…

And I don’t mean the kind that show up in superhero movies…..or do I? Do you ever consider yourself a villain? On this week’s podcast we discuss the place of the villain. When I say discuss, I mean we have a panel in…

Jessica Leep Fick’s book crossed my desk and I had to open the book and check out the content! Beautiful Feet I loved the old school roller skates on the cover and the idea that beautiful feet could move even more…
