Fighting Cancer With Love
Everyone's been touched by cancer, whether through a loved one, friend, co-worker, or even ourselves. Yet, each time it pokes its ugly head, there's questions about how to support that person in a real, tangible way.
Living Fearless
Best known for her powerhouse vocals as a finalist in season eight of “American Idol,” Jasmine Murray was named Miss Mississippi and placed top 10 in Miss America 2015. Now at 26, she’s inspiring audiences not only with her fresh pop sound but with a profound message of hope as an artist and songwriter.
“I feel like I'm on a journey, and it’s a privilege to be able to share that with people,” she says. “I know this is my purpose. I'm where I’m supposed to be. I want to reach people with the message God’s given me.”
The Dating Project
Half of America is single. People are frustrated in love, but does anyone really know how to connect in today’s virtual world?
Bible Belles
Erin Weidemann, creator and author of Bible Belles, is a five-time cancer survivor and a total warrior for Christ. The heavily popular book series she created is everything your 5 year old self would adore, as it highlights women in the Bible who were strong, confident, and inwardly beautiful in the eyes of Christ. Erin does a fabulous job of narrating the stories to present the women (Hannah, Esther, Abigail, Ruth, Deborah) as the perfect role models, which is ironic because Erin is one of OUR role models!
Lonely In Your Neighborhood?
Kristin Schell simply wanted to get to know her neighbors. When she moved to her neighborhood in Austin, Texas, several years ago, she saw garage doors go up and down, but never saw an actual neighbor.
Craving a simple way to connect with others around her, she took a mistaken delivery as her talisman – a picnic table she ordered for her backyard was delivered to her front yard – under the magnolia tree right by the curb. She decided to paint it Nifty Turquoise, leave it in the front, and the #FrontYardPeople movement was born.
The Gift of Being Hidden
Every heart longs to be seen and understood. Yet most of our lives go unwitnessed.
We may think we are “wasting” ourselves in a hidden corner today: the cubicle on the fourth floor, hospital bedside of an elderly parent, laundry room. But these are the places God uses to meet us with a radical love. These are the places that produce the kind of unhinged love in us that gives everything at His feet, whether or not anyone else ever proclaims our name, whether or not anyone else ever sees.

Praising ✞ Amongst Infertility
Wife, teacher, and actress Megan Seager is as bright as the sun: with a cheery smile, a warm heart, and a natural ability to make strangers feel like close friends. Having gotten married almost three years ago, Megan knew she eventually wanted to have a family.
Preparing For Baby
Babies sure are cute, but they don't come with an instruction manual! Becoming a new mother is one of the most exciting, and scary, times of a womans life. Anticipating mother Lu Wojciechowski is feeling both of those emotions and more - and she was kind enough to share her experience of "preparing for baby" for all our expecting mothers! Enjoy!
