THE REAL JESUS – CRISIE HUTCHINGS

When God Snuck into the Human Race.

The thing that amazes me the most about Christmas is how stealthily God entered the human race. He wasn’t born into an affluent family or in a palace as most kings are, but in a foul-smelling barn, where animals lay amid their excrement and their nasty habits. Mary wasn’t in Labor and Delivery with a…
We’ve Been Lied To!

We’ve been lied to….life is not always going to do what we want. Things are not going to turn out always as we had hoped. We are going to go through things that are too much for us! In many faith-based circles there is a lie circulating that if you just believe in God, you’ll…
Because Healing Starts with Truth. Jesus is Truth.

The heart—yours, mine, and ours—is the wellspring of life. The sacred place where God speaks, where love is planted, where purpose takes shape. When we choose to tend it with care, not hiding, not hardening, but opening it fully to the One who formed it —something holy happens. In surrender, He heals. He restores. He…
Our Sympathetic Savior

Have you ever been misunderstood, misinterpreted, or someone just didn’t get you? We all have. It’s painful and frustrating. We may seek to defend ourselves to try and bring understanding to no avail. We may even wrestle with it for a while wondering what we could have done to help them understand us better. It’s…
Where the Real Jesus is Found

The real Jesus may seem elusive, hidden, and unavailable. I believe He is to some people. For years of my life, He was to me. All I had known was religion. You know that thing that tells you what YOU have to do to be good enough for God then He’ll love you and find…
YOU ARE NOT ENOUGH

How often have you wrestled with the belief that “you are not enough”? How often do you ruminate about your failures and how you don’t measure up to a task, others, or your own standard? These kinds of thoughts are debilitating to fulfilling your life purpose and walking out the common tasks and expectations of…
God’s Timing is Perfect!

It absolutely amazes me that God is a God of timing! Although He’s not subject to time, He works within time to fulfill His purposes. There was a “right time” for Jesus to be sent to the earth. Although He existed in eternity, God’s wisdom sent Him at just the right time. He was not…
Childhood Memories of Advent

For as long as I can remember back, as a child, our family observed Advent: the preparation of the days leading up to the celebration of Christmas; Christ’s birth. An advent wreath was in the center of our dining room table from the beginning of December through Christmas Day. We would light the candles as…
Hope When Life Hurts

Life hurts. A lot. No matter our demographic, pain, heartache and disappointment touches us all. From the time we exit the womb, until our last breath, life can hurt; a lot. There are times, when I’m in pain, that cynicism creeps in to take over my thoughts and it paints a picture of doom and…
What Shall We Do Then? [Pt. 3 The Essence of Worship]

34 But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like…
A Light Shines in the Darkness

The world has gotten smaller and the darkness, deeper. Yet there is hope. Strife and hatred have increased, yet peace stands by. Confusion is a mist that lurks, yet one bright star shines to point the way home. Christ is home. Make no mistake, the evil one tells a tale of doom. And doom, is…
HUNGRY FOR GRACE

Do you struggle in your relationship as a son/daughter of God to relax and enjoy Him? Has religion conditioned you to work for His love and acceptance instead of just receiving it by grace? If so, this podcast will help you if you hunger for a place of rest, freedom, and joy and learn to…
