This Simple Prayer Always Reminds Me What Connecting With God Is Really About

1 week ago | star991.com | Chad Mitchell

My wife and I are closing in on our first school year with our daughter living somewhere else. As parents to just one child, our daughter Georgia is finishing up her freshman year of college. I lost my dishwasher buddy. Our daughter lost constant feedback and the security that comes with living at home. This season has been full of successes, failures and tons of PRAYER. We’ve had to remind ourselves that when everything was closing in, Jesus didn’t isolate or try to handle it on His own.
A Very Good Reason To Stop Watching The News (& What You Should Do Instead)

2 weeks ago | star991.com | Brant Hansen

A gentle reminder: The world is full of problems, injustices, and heartaches… and you’re not made to handle them. None of us are. C.S. Lewis saw what “the news” was doing to people decades ago: It is one of the evils of rapid diffusion of news that the sorrows of all the world come to us every morning.
Today Is the Perfect Day To Become A Praying Person

2 months ago | star991.com | Brant Hansen

Today is a crazy-busy news day, isn’t it? Am I right? I’m right. Thing is, I don’t know when you’re reading this, and you don’t know when I wrote this. And yet I’m right, because every day is a crazy-busy news day. I’m confident that if you turn on any news platform at this very moment, you’ll not find them saying, “Not a whole lot happening today. Maybe check back later…?” Every day is full of breaking news. Every day is a battle of ideas about important things.
Why We Should Always Choose Grace Over Judgment

2 months ago | star991.com | Kristen James

Everything I’ve judged I’ve become. You know that scripture that says, “Do not judge or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” It’s in Matthew 7:1-2 and it’s TRUE! The first time I realized the impact of this verse I was in college. I remember VIVIDLY and HARSHLY judging this family that would show up to church over an hour late every Sunday.
Not Everyone Who Preaches Speaks for God-Here’s How to Tell

2 months ago | star991.com | Skip Mahaffey

I am not a fan of people who claim to teach the truth on God’s behalf, but actually spew lies. If I were to be blunt, I hate them. I have Biblical basis for this: “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.” – Mathew 7:15 In my life, as I have searched for spiritual fulfillment for my troubled soul, I have fallen for the con of one or two false prophets.
You Don't Have To Carry Your Burdens Alone, Jesus Wants To Help

Jan 28, 2025 | star991.com | Chad Mitchell

Hey there! I want to pass along a little nugget of knowledge that’s been bouncing around in my brain lately. Every afternoon on my show, I share “One Truth” and talk about how it applies to all of us. My goal is to always give you some hope and inspiration. And let me tell you, I find so much of that same hope from my online friend Kim Jones-Pothier. Not too long ago, she said something that really hit home for me: “Never be afraid or embarrassed to struggle! We’ve all been in a struggle.
Does Prayer Change What God Does? Why Your Prayers MATTER.

Jan 21, 2025 | star991.com | Brant Hansen

Does prayer change what God does? Yep. Yes, it does, if the Bible is to believed. And the Bible is to be believed. There are so many examples, but try Exodus 32. God tells Moses that He’s going to destroy the Israelites because of their idol worship. But Moses intervenes and talks God out of it. In the King James Version, God “repents” in v. 14. (Look it up!) In the New Living Translation, it’s “changed his mind”. All because Moses faithfully interacted with him.
No Matter What 2025 Holds, God Is Good and Loves You Unconditionally

Dec 31, 2024 | star991.com | Kristen James

Happy 2025! I hope this year is filled with all the blessings you’ve been praying for, that every day you experience God’s love in a new and deeper way and that you’re able to see His favor in every situation. But honestly, God always says it best. I love this verse in Isaiah 43:18-19: “Forget the former things;do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
God Doesn't Measure You By One Bad Day. He Offers Unlimited Second Chances.

I spend more time watching sports on TV than I would like to admit. This time of year, I’m all about the NFL. Making it to the NFL is the dream of countless young athletes. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that demands incredible dedication, discipline, and sacrifice. Take, for example, a young player determined to make the cut for his favorite team. He spends grueling years training—early mornings, long hours in the gym, studying playbooks, and perfecting his game on the field.
