If working remotely and covering the news of the day meant you had to skip author interviews for a period of time, it's not too late to feature these great resources. I would love to help you set up interviews with any and all of these guests. Social distancing has made it harder than ever to find authentic connection with one another. God created each and every one of us with a hunger for true ...

It's time to have honest discussions about church and race, but where do we start? Author, speaker and Bible teacher Barb Roose offers some thoughts on some of the questions she is most frequently asked. She is available for interviews to talk about race from a Biblical perspective. Here she shares some talking points on these frequently asked questions.  Many American Christians feel like talking about race in church is political, not biblical.

Even when we aren't able to come together in person, that's no reason to skip out on group Bible studies. There are plenty of ways to gather online!

Part 2 of an Interview with Barb Roose, Author of Surrendered   Are you facing a problem in life that you just can’t fix, no matter what you do? Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase “Let go and let God.” But it’s easier said than done. Is it possible that giving up on what you can’t change is God’s path to peace for your life?

Learn more in this interview with Barb. Q: What are the six surrender principles and when should they be used? Letting go of control-loving behaviors isn’t a switch that we can just flip. Rather, we need a new set of tools. Those new tools are six Surr...
