Two years before the anointing, my life as a type 1 diabetic catapulted out of control. I had been a diabetic for more than 25 years and had always kept very tight control of my blood sugar levels.

Andrew M. Castelbuono · Oct 26 2 minute read

Surrendering is very important for a Christian. Our family has practiced surrendering, but sometimes it is hard! I try to listen to God in the mornings, and sometimes I don’t like what He says. I try to let God take the driver’s seat, even if it’s against...

The “Humble” Indian Eggplant Curry
Jasper Owens · Oct 24 3 minute read

If you want to make a rich, flavorful, and nutritious curry with a humble eggplant, you are at the right place. Also, this humble eggplant curry reminds me of our Humble King who humbled himself and was obedient unto death (of the cross). Jesus exhibited a character that is exactly opposite to Satan (which is proud and selfish) and defeated death, self, sin, and Satan at the cross. Jesus won the battle and is...

I remember in my early 20s having the same problem of believing lies. I was convinced that I was unattractive, undesirable, and intellectually incapable, among other insecurities.
