Enthusiasm for our faith should not be contained to the church sanctuary. Christianity is growing throughout the world. Revivals are happening and wouldn't it be great to see it in our city in our country. It starts with you and me. We cannot be afraid to allow the Spirit to move in us and through us.

Today we look at the terrible issue of the Christian Coverup Culture. There are people who abuse or know abuse has taken place and remain silent or actively try to coverup the abuse. We will not allow the enemy to keep us silent any longer. When we know or see something we will bring it to the light. God can only be glorified when we uncover the sin of abuse.

Please join us as we talk about the power of those words, "Use Me Lord." Have you ever uttered those words? Are you ready to do whatever God asks of you? Many of of believe we are not ready to do some of the things we witness of other believers. God equips up with gifts to be used when we need them. And when we accept Jesus into our hearts and he gives us the Holy Spirit we have all the help we need to be ready for the challenges.

Today I reveal my top 5 Christian movies and TV shows of all time that are worth watching! These movies and shows are entertainment and not released claiming to be the bible. The Bible stands alone as biblical authority. And as we watch secular movies and TV shows we must use discernment. This also applies to Christian/faith based movies and TV shows. Did any of your favorites make my list?   Host/Producer/Editor: Stephanie Kreller Camera/Sound Engineer: Anthony Kreller Music: Produced by Sound On Sound Productions We hope you enjoy the episode and follow us and leave a comment on Podbean.com or thisisbetter2024@gmail.com.

We are all made in the image of God. But when we look different because we are born with an abnormality, or as a result of an accident many will have plastic surgery to restore their bodies to what is the "norm." We also change our appearance because we struggle with the way we look. What does God say about or bodies? Do we consult God when we want to alter our appearance. The bible does not address plastic surgery directly but we know we have been made in His image and we should be obedient to the word and at peace with whatever decisions we make. Join us as we consider what is right for each of us and why we should not judge the decisions others make.

In this episode we look at the crisis in ministry taking place in churches all around the world. Many Pastors are overwhelmed, lonely and depressed. Who is caring for our Pastors? They care for us but we are not caring for them. And many need mentorship and someone to confide in outside of their spouse and congregation. There are less and less people entering seminary  as Pastors. We need to care for those Pastors currently serving. Sound the alarm and shed light on this crisis in ministry and care for these Pastors who have given their lives to serve God by serving us.   Host/Producer/Editor: Stephanie Kreller Camera/Sound Engineer: Anthony Kreller Music: Produced by Sound On Sound Productions We hope you enjoy the episode and follow us and leave a comment on Podbean.com or thisisbetter2024@gmail.com.

Allow yourself the time you need to grieve. Everyone's timetable for grieving is different. Few things are as painful as losing someone you love. After such a significant loss, life may never seem quite the same again. But by allowing yourself the time to walk through your grief; in time, our Father will ease your sorrow, and you can start to look to the future, and eventually come to terms with your loss through the hope we have Christ. The hope we've been given doesn't mean we don't grieve, but grieve knowing that this is a temporary loss. We will see our loved ones again in heaven.

Part 2 of my conversation with Helen Reimer. We continue our conversation surrounding how others might walk along side and pray for those struggling with infertility. And how the husband and wife will experience the journey differently but for those in a covenant marriage, they can cover each other in prayer. God loves us and wants to bless us but we don't know if that always includes children. With or without children God will bear fruit in our lives. Helen and her husband are able to enjoy a fruitful life as people who love God and know that God is with them. Helen has been honest with God in her anger and sadness and He has responded giving her a life lived with purpose and despite infertility a fruitful life engaging in passions that might never have taken place if she had children; only God knows. Being a Christian does not mean God will give us everything we ask for. Despite infertility we can all be fruitful and live lives full and joyful and glorifying God.   Host/Producer/Editor: Stephanie Kreller Camera/Sound Engineer: Anthony Kreller Music: Produced by Sound On Sound Productions   We hope you enjoy the episode and follow us and leave a comment on Podbean.com or thisisbetter2024@gmail.com.

Let's not allow our denominational differences hinder us from opening ourselves up to our brothers and sisters in Christ who don't hold all the same "secondary" beliefs as we hold. We are all members of the same body of Christ. When our foundational Christian beliefs are the same, why do we stumble over things which do not keeping us from loving the same God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.   Host/Producer/Editor: Stephanie Kreller Camera/Sound Engineer: Anthony Kreller Music: Produced by Sound On Sound Productions

We do it all the time, judge people. Should Christians judge other Christians? Let's look at the bible and examine our actions and motives when we do judge others. Do we examine our own sins before we dare to judge others? We want to come to others with compassion, humility and love just as were taught by God's word.    Host/Producer/Editor: Stephanie Kreller Camera/Sound Engineer: Anthony Kreller Music: Produced by Sound On Sound Productions   We hope you enjoy the episode and follow us and leave a comment on Podbean.com or thisisbetter2024@gmail.com.
