In a world that often challenges us with unexpected twists, there are stories that shine as beacons of inspiration and hope. Christine Handy's journey is one such tale, woven from the threads of adversity, faith, and remarkable resilience. As a fellow breast cancer survivor, her journey resonates deeply with me, not only as an observer but as someone who has walked a similar path of overcoming life's toughest challenges.

Fate has a way of throwing curveballs even at those who seem to be living a charmed life. Christine, a former Victoria's Secret model, was riding the crest of success when the storm clouds of unforeseen medical issues began to gather. Her vibrant modeling career was put on pause as these issues took a terrifying turn for the worse. In the face of unimaginable odds, Christine's faith became her anchor.

Through those dark moments, when despair could have easily taken hold, she chose to place her trust in a higher power. With unwavering faith and determination, she emerged from the shadows healed and stronger than ever before. Her journey was not just a physical one; it was a transformation of the heart and spirit. 

Christine's incredible story became a testament to the power of resilience and the boundless strength that faith can provide. But her story didn't end with her own healing. Her experience ignited a passion within her – a burning desire to share her journey of hope with others who were facing their own trials. This passion led her to become a motivational speaker, a best-selling author, and a beacon of light for countless individuals.

Beyond the glitz and glamour of the runway, Christine's life took on new dimensions. She became a philanthropist, devoting her time and energy to serve on the boards of two non-profit organizations. Her path even led her back to the hallowed halls of academia, as she pursued further education at Harvard University – a testament to her unquenchable thirst for growth and learning, even at the age of 50.

In Christine's journey, we find a reflection of the human spirit's incredible capacity to endure, adapt, and rise above the challenges that life presents. Her story teaches us that even in the darkest of times, there is hope. Her journey reminds us that faith can guide us through the stormiest seas, and that adversity can be transformed into a stepping stone toward a purpose-driven life.

As a fellow breast cancer survivor, I am reminded that we are never truly alone on this journey. Christine's remarkable transformation from a model to a breast cancer warrior, and now a philanthropist and advocate, is a testament to the power of turning personal pain into a source of purpose. In her words, "I turned my mess into my message and my pain into my purpose." Through her story, she shows us that each of us holds within us the power to transform our own lives, to find strength in vulnerability, and to discover the incredible potential that lies within our journeys.

We try to be our own source of strength, peace, joy, competence, etc.  We have the knowledge that our power is limited and there are certain situations that we have no power to change. This can leave us with only emotions to lean on. However, for believers in Christ, we have access to unlimited power to walk through life’s impossible situations.

        I remember as a kid, I would lie in bed and wonder why I was here. Why was I born into the family I was born into. What could this world possibly have for me when I grew up.

Why do we hold back and wonder what others will think if we truly speak our mind? At the end of the day, does it matter what they think, and will their opinions mean anything in Heaven? I think we can all agree the answer is no and yet we still struggle with this. Just think if we all spoke freely and told the world how our heart feels about Christ? Imagine if we all showed Him our love by constantly speaking of Him to others and reciprocating his adoration for us. Christ demonstrates His love for us daily. Can we each say we do the same?

To find or create Hope, you must first find the silver lining. But how does one do that and where do they begin? First, let’s look at the actual definition. The silver lining is a sign of hope or a positive aspect in an otherwise negative situation. The phrase is often seen as part of the proverb ‘Every cloud has a silver lining, meaning that there's hope or something good to be found in every bad situation’.

In today’s world we are more “connected” than any other time in human history. However, loneliness has reached an unprecedented level, and the effects can be devastating. God created us with a need for community. We know our relationship with Jesus is priority, but scripture says quite a bit about community and being connected with one another.

I remember a time when my oldest son was just a year old and he had a severe seizure. It lasted a very longtime and he needed medical intervention. So much so that he had to be flow to a bigger hospital to care for him. My wife rode on the helicopter with him and all I could do is stand there watch my whole world take off not knowing how things would turn out. I mention this memory to tell you how alone I felt watching that helicopter flying away. There was a profound sense of emptiness, and fear overwhelmed me. In my brokenness, I cried out to Jesus to help me. I didn’t know what to ask Him for other than “HELP”! As I continued to lean into Jesus, I began to experience peace and comfort. I can’t explain why, it just was. As it turned out, my son ended up perfectly fine and is a strong healthy teenager that is a competitive swimmer. Oh, did I mention he is smart too. All that to say, Jesus was with me! Even before I cried out, He was with me! Hebrews 13 tell us "I will never leave you nor forsake you."   Psalm 139:7 ESV says “Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?” Jesus was speaking to His disciples in Matthew 28:20 ESV “teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

No matter how hard we try, we will fall short of the perfection required by God. It is inevitable. The question is, why did you fall? There are countless reasons we stumble in our walk with Jesus. Many times it’s because we don’t trust that God will come through for us, so we take matters into our own hands. Which, honestly, is the worst offense of all. Jesus paid a heavy price for us and we can trust Him to work in every circumstance we face. No one is more faithful, more trustworthy than Jesus. Stumbling happens when we doubt Jesus!

I think a lot of times we feel like we have to be perfect for God to be ok with us. So, when we struggle, it can be difficult to go to the Lord for forgiveness and comfort. We often feel shame when we fall which can harden our hearts and keep us from going to His presence.

How does one maximize their schedule and still make time for Christ? Isn’t that the ultimate question we are all wanting to know? Time is the opportunity to invest in that which will last forever.

When forgiveness is given through grace, we can start the healing process and truly free ourselves.  

Although Health Care Sharing Ministries are becoming more popular, it's still a new concept to many. We want to debunk some of the myths about HCSMs and show you why this affordable alternative to traditional health insurance may be right for you!

How Can You Make an Impact in God’s Kingdom if You Don’t Have Much to Give?

It’s tricky business teaching about biblical generosity. For some people, the topic is a complete turn-off. Maybe they were raised in a legalistic church that demanded payment of the tithe with all the grace and good humor of an IRS agent demanding payment of their taxes. For others, it seems the only time their church says anything about money it’s in an effort to get people to give more. Add to all of that some challenging personal financial circumstances and it’s no wonder generosity can be such a touchy topic!

Growing your spiritual relationship is incredibly difficult but worth it in the end. You may think that to make it you have to strive to achieve it all for yourself.

We get it; you are a healthy and cautious individual. However, the worst health issue you have had in years was a nasty cold, so why bother doing anything different healthcare-wise? Have you put any thought into emergencies?

What is Christian Health Care Sharing?

Christian health care sharing helps Members save money on their health care costs and obligations. The church is meant to lift each other up, and Christian health care sharing is one way that Christians can help each other and their community.

What a great time of the year! It’s time we celebrate the birth of our savior, Jesus. His story is one of awe and wonder. The impossible was made possible by a loving and powerful God. The Son of God, born to die so the world might live. A baby, God in flesh, purposed to take the sin of the world onto himself. A sinless man who became sin so we could live in His righteousness. (2 Corinthians 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.) What better way to bring in the season than to read the story of His arrival.
