Is adulthood a curse? What should I do with all these participation trophies? As young adults try to figure things out and answer deep, soul-heavy questions, they’re given flak for living in “extended adolescence.” In a world that insists we can (and should) have it all, Adulting for Jesus uses humor to offer topical advice and encouragement for those who are asking, “Is this really all there is?”
Lasting relationships, like anything worthwhile, take intentional commitment over time. But when you’re just not on the same page, keeping your love alive can feel intimidating – or even impossible. In his #1 New York Times bestseller, The 5 Love Languages®, Dr. Gary Chapman presents a simple truth: relationships grow better when we understand each other. Everyone gives and receives love differently, but with a little insight into these differences, we can be confidently equipped to communicate love well. This is true for all forms of relationship – for married or dating couples, for children and teenagers, for friends and coworkers, for long-distance relationships, for those brand-new loves, and for the romances that are older than the hills. Listen in to hear Dr. Chapman encourage us to find our unique Love Language! Take the test to find out yours HERE.

Death is among the most natural, and most confusing, parts of being human. Its inevitability and universality do nothing to alleviate our messy feelings about the subject. It’s why you have no idea what to say when your friend loses a beloved family member. You are not alone. Somehow, our privileged North American ethos has taught us that we need not suffer, that a quick fix to pain and sadness is always available. But this “no-tears please” approach has created a culture of loss avoidance and stifled the natural human need to grieve and mourn losses. By sharing stories about death—both her own and those with which she’s come into contact through her bereavement work—Donna Lynne Erickson shows that healing is possible and that there are safe places in which to do so.

Cooper, lead singer and co-founder of the hugely succesful Christian heavy rock band, SKILLET, has noticed one consistent issue: people are desperately confused.

Most people go their entire life longing to be whole, yet failing to find it. We want our life to mean something. We want to matter. The problem is that life is filled with episode after episode where we face trouble and complications. We feel like it is impossible to find wholeness without living a flawless life. How to Be Made Whole follows the true story of Kennady Steele, born with a severe brain disorder. She was only given 12-18 months to live along with a haunting disclaimer by her doctor to both parents that their daughter “would not have a meaningful life” How to Be Made Whole walks the reader through a journey from brokenness to wholeness and how unanswered prayers for miracles often result in far greater blessings.

Daryl Jones is a former pro football player and the Founder and President of Point Ministries–an international ministry dedicated to equipping disciples of Jesus Christ to impact the world. He also serves as the Founder and Lead Pastor of The Rock Fellowship Church in Miami, Florida. In his first book “Why, Lord, Why?”Daryl tackles the tough question that every person has asked at one point or another: Why do we endure pain and suffering? The human experience is filled with joy and sorrow, which at times can seem unfair, unnecessary, and cruel. During these moments, should pain and sorrow cause us to doubt God or should we pursue Him more? This book focuses on what the Bible has to say on the matter. With compassion and empathy, “Why Lord, Why?” continually points the reader to God, who has a purpose and who will ultimately bring us through difficult times as we put our trust in Him.

Dove Award-winning artist and songwriter Jordan Feliz sings “Glorify,” his first new music of 2020, and lead single from his third full-length project coming in early 2021! Jordan says “I don’t know if I’ve ever been as excited for a song as I am for this one. Glorify means ‘praise and worship,’ but the sub-context of the word actually is to acknowledge and reveal the majesty and splendor of God by one’s actions. For me, coming out of this hard season of anxiety, stress and messed up priorities, now all I want my life to do is to glorify. I want to reveal the majesty of God by my actions.”
Author and Speaker, John Ramirez tells his true-life story of how he was trained to be a satanic cult high ranking priest in New York City—casting powerful witchcraft spells and controlling entire regions. Raised in an impoverished ghetto neighborhood, he grew up despising his father for his careless disregard of his family. John learned to survive the cold, harsh streets of the South Bronx. Looking for love and validation, he eventually found it in a new “family” of witches and warlocks who groomed him to become a high priest in their occult religion. His plunge into the dark side reached a boiling point on the night he sold his soul to the devil in a diabolical, blood-soaked ritual. With renewed fervor—and the mark of the beast now cut into his right arm—he actively recruited souls into this “unholy kingdom,” haunting the bars and clubs of NYC by night to find his next victims. John’s life continued on this dark path until God intervened through a miraculous, larger-than-life dream, revealing Himself for who He really is and literally snatching John back from the grips of hell. Many have come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ by John’s real and true to life testimony. Learn more HERE!

Why is it that so many people oppose action to solve the environmental catastrophes we all face? At this moment when we should be uniting and circling the wagons against a common threat, our society is dividing into Right vs Left, Conservative vs Liberal. Both sides see problems with the other. Many Christians see environmentalists as lacking core moral values. In turn, many environmentalists are baffled why Christians turn away from an issue that seems to touch on so many aspects of justice, compassion, and indeed the sanctity of life. Tri Robinson, rancher and retired Vineyard pastor recognizes that the Bible and the environment are by no means mutually exclusive. He has worked for decades to bring round his flock. He shows how and why Christians need to face the environmental challenges around us, and how in doing so Christians can find purposeful action and be reinvigorated as an active force for good on this issue, building bridges across social divides and presenting Christianity in its best light.

Life in Canada and around the world has changed rapidly with the outbreak of COVID-19. We’ve had to change routines, cancel appointments, and work from home. We are no longer able to gather with our church family. Life is different and, for many us, more difficult. During this time, it is more important than ever to stand with our persecuted family. Christians in many countries already face difficulties and danger from militias, extremists, or hostile governments. They are often seen as second-class citizens, traitors or infidels. These believers live in countries with significant outbreaks. History tells us they will have less or no rights to advocate for themselves with police or public officials, less access to basic provisions like medical supplies, and that they will experience more discrimination in receiving emergency aid or human services. No matter how difficult or complex this scenario becomes, Gary Stagg from Open Doors Canada says that they is committed to continuing serving persecuted Christians during the coronavirus pandemic while taking appropriate caution to not spread COVID-19.
