- From Entitlement to Astonishment: Discover why an attitude of entitlement can rob us of our happiness, and how we can cultivate hearts filled with gratitude and astonishment for what God has already done for us.
- The Power of Community: Gary and Patricia discuss the essential role of healthy Christian community, addressing church hurt, loneliness, and how life-giving relationships are key to spiritual and emotional well-being.
- Spiritual Adventure: Are you spiritually bored? Learn how saying “yes” to being used by God can infuse your life and family with excitement, purpose, and a sense of divine adventure.
- Hope for the Hurting: If you’ve struggled with disappointment, church wounds, or unmet expectations, Gary offers wisdom, encouragement, and advice on how to heal—and move forward into the life God has for you.
