Susan Neal and Eating God’s Food (Part 1)
John Farrell: What was your inspiration for Eat God’s Food: A Kid’s Guide to Healthy Eating?
Susan Neal: Ten years ago, I lost my health, and I had ten medical diagnoses and two surgeries. I’m a nurse, I have a Master’s in health science, and I had multiple doctors, but I still had to use alternative methods and really work on healing myself. Five years later, I wrote a best-selling book that…

Stop Popping Your Child’s Bubble
Excerpt taken from Parenting Ahead: Preparing Now for the Teen Years by Kristen Hatton
When my oldest child was a high school senior, I did not realize how closed off she had become toward me. Yes, I knew I drove her crazy with all my reminders of things she needed to take care of. Even I felt like a broken record at times. But when I walked by her room and saw her laying around…
12 Ways to Encourage Your Wife
12 simple ways to encourage your wife may sounds like a fairly bold title doesn’t it? Being married is one of the most challenging commitments a person can ever make. And honestly, having been married to my first wife for nearly fifty years, a woman’s mind is still a mystery to me. However; she read through these and gave her blessing.
In today’s post, I want to give you 12 simple ways to…
When Your Hope Must Wait
Jesus promises that He will never leave you or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). But sometimes God allows tough circumstances in your life to demonstrate to you and those around you His majesty, power, glory, holiness, and faithfulness.
Often we don’t recognize that God allows adversity in our lives because He loves us. It’s for our good. It’s meant to help you mature and become like Christ.…
Building a Blessed Life
High-stress living and overburdened schedules are commonplace today, but that’s not God’s way. Too often, we chase blessings and call it seeking God, or we make idols of the good things God gives us and serve them instead of Him. Both of these sins leave us stressed and empty. God wants more for you!
Imagine your life as an empty glass jar. On the table before you are three large rocks, a…
Finding Freedom in a New Name
God often uses movies to touch my heart, and that was the case a few years ago when I watched The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
At the end of the movie, the four Pevensie children took their places on four thrones in the castle of Cair Paravel. These children were not the same as when they had entered the Land of Narnia. They had come face to face with evil and…
Always Fruitful
“He will be like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers.”—Psalm 1:3 NASB
It was a great mystery. Observers wondered why the Congo River in Africa seemed to have a constant flow of water regardless of the season. Water levels never seemed to vary.
Those who tried to solve this mystery faced…
Come Out of Egypt
When I see all the blessings and breakthroughs offered to us in God’s appointed times, I have a hard time understanding why everyone wouldn’t be eager to participate.
Are you in need of more assurance of God’s forgiveness and favor today? Is there some difficult situation in your health, finances, emotions, or relationships that you need deliverance from? Have you come to the end of yourself,…
Living Out Easter Monday One Day at a Time
Do you remember the first morning you woke up and knew for sure that you were a Christian? For some it’s a gradual realization and for others (like me) who searched far and wide for satisfaction and purpose, coming home was a never-to-be-forgotten, all-at-once relief and joy. That’s how I picture Easter Monday for Jesus’s followers. The Monday after Resurrection Sunday—the first morning they woke…
