BEIJING BREAK

Posted by Mike Foster:

My family and I are in Beijing, China till Friday.

We are in 100% tourist mode checking out all the incredible sights.

Forbidden City. Tiananmen Square. Summer Palace. Jingshan Park. Chairman Mao’s Mausoleum.

Internet is kind of sketchy so posting might be sparse this week.

And apparently the Chinese government doesn’t like Facebook or Twitter. CAN YOU SAY BLOCKED!

I will post some more pics later.

PERMISSION TO SPEAK FREELY

Posted by Jud Wilhite

I’m convinced the most powerful communication of God’s truth is communicated through our brokenness. That’s what I love about our friend Anne Jackson’s new book Permission to Speak Freely. It is filled with people’s honest statements, doubts, struggles and hope. Not to mention that the artwork is moving and the book is beautiful.

Too often Church can feel like a Christian version of the prom. Everybody dresses up their brokenness and hides their pain. Everything looks good, right? Anne pulls the curtain back to show us what’s really happening in the hearts and minds of many people.

Anne’s writing throughout the book brings healing and perspective and there is great insight in just realizing you aren’t alone with your struggle or a pain.

Pick up Permission to Speak Freely and share it with others as encouragement. It is a awesome book that reminds us we don’t have to stand alone in the struggle!

NOT AFRAID

Posted by Jud Wilhite

I was so proud of my friend Gary this past weekend at Central in Vegas.

He has been through a lot in his life and he’s taking responsibility, caring for his wife and kids, and manning up.

He took the hook to Eminem’s “Not Afraid” and laid down his own words from his life.

This is his story, a person of the second chance. Hope it fires you up as it did me.
