They told us he might not live. He's here. They told us he might not breathe on his own. He came out quiet, but breathing, for sure. Here's the song that became our story.

At my 20-week scan, a doctor told me my son had a mass in his chest cavity larger than any he'd ever seen. I went in jolly and excited. I left an absolute wreck. Here's what God did next.

No one had to spend millions of dollars entertaining you for eight seasons. They did it anyway — and in my humble opinion, they did it well. Here's why the finale was exactly what it was always going to be.

I had Jesus in my heart — or so I thought. Then God showed me that having Him in a section of your heart is actually not having Him at all.

A baby was not on my radar. I was too busy building a marriage, a career, and honestly... myself. Then one morning in the dark, everything changed.

Bryant Wilder went from clerical typist to Deputy Regional Commissioner — and still made homemade waffles whenever his girls asked. Here's what 25 years of watching him taught me.

When people told me I was too smart to be a hairdresser, I spiraled. Then I found God's sovereignty in a blowout chair — and it changed how I see everything.

Leadership is the art of service. It is the constant thoughts and worry about every individual that you feel or actually are responsible for. It is putting your needs aside for the needs of those around you, those that respect you and those that look to you for help and guidance. It is about giving and giving and giving and giving.
