True connection thrives when you shift your focus from what you can receive to how you can uplift others. Whether in marriage, family, or friendships, strong relationships aren’t built solely on shared interests or personal happiness.

Slash Your Disease Risk by 4x: Eat Slowly, Live Better

Posted by Alex Calderon on January 22, 2025 at 8:00 AM

You may find it surprising that how fast you chew can shape your body’s long-term well-being. It sounds almost too simple to be true, but studies show that those who rush through their meals are not doing themselves any favors. In fact, research suggests that the fastest eaters have rates of metabolic syndrome four times higher than those who pace themselves. Metabolic syndrome sets the stage for issues like heart disease and stroke. If that gap seems large, it gets even more serious when looking at type two diabetes. Those who speed through meals show twice the rate of that condition compared to slower eaters. By just taking your time as you eat, you can help guard against some of these problems.

It is a bold, public declaration of the truth of Jesus Christ as demonstrated by His life and the ministry of His disciples. Preaching means going out into the world—into public spaces where hearts can be stirred, opposition may arise, and the gospel is proclaimed boldly for all to hear.

The Gift He Doesn't Have

Posted by Alex Calderon on December 25, 2024 at 8:00 AM

Have you ever thought about what you might give Jesus that He doesn’t already possess? There’s a simple way to see how this idea works. Picture a birthday party where everyone gets a present except the one whose special day it is. That sounds strange, yet it’s easy to do the same thing with Christ. People celebrate Him during certain times of year, but they forget to hand Him what truly matters. God made everything, but you still hold something He won’t have unless you decide to hand it over.
