(The following was originally published at www.CareyGreen.com.) This one’s about personal affirmations. You know, the “I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and dog-gone it, people like me!” things people are being encouraged to say to themselves each morning. Don’t get me wrong, I think personal affirmations are a powerful way to start the day, at least as part of the morning routine – they are even Biblical… Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your... Read more

Reflections of Grace 106: Entering 2016 with Faith and Assurance Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

As we welcome 2016 in I want to speak to you about the many seasons of our lives…When we start to realize that God is involved with every aspect of our lives, and is acutely aware of every step we take because He has a plan for each of us, then we can rest in the spot we are in until that plan is revealed to us. We talk about “waiting on the Lord,” but sometimes I think we really... Read more

I’m Waiting 13: Our Choices ALWAYS Come with Consequences, with Ricky Garza Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
I have never met anyone in my life who said, “Dang! I wish that I had slept with more people before I got married!” It’s always, “Dang… I wish I had waited”, myself included. Yet, we often receive letters saying that our “I’m Waiting” message is not a healthy message to tell kids today. And I just don’t get it. We ask kids to stay off of alcohol and drugs because if their dangers. We tell them don’t drink... Read more

To purchase the entire DVD set of the Summit Lecture Series, visit summit.org. As a Muslim, I believed that God appointed Jesus (the Quran teaches very clearly that Jesus is THE MOST miraculous of prophets); and I believed that the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John ARE God’s word. But, when I was hit between the eyes with the reality that the Gospels could not have been corrupted over the past 2,000 years; and that Jesus did, in fact, claim... Read more

The Daren Streblow Comedy Show Mini-Cast 123: Kindergarten, Andy Beningo & Jeff Allen Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
It was such a landmark moment when we put our youngest child on the bus, sending him to kindergarten, for the first time. Mom was crying. Dad was doing a celebratory dance. ON the other end, the kindergarten teacher was weeping, soul searching, doubting every career move leading to this day. My kids were confused about what kindergarten even is. I think this is because of its very name. Kindergarten is German, literally meaning “children’s garden”, which doesn’t even seem to metaphorically be... Read more

Jesus in HD 137: Forgive and (Don't) Forget Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
As you will hear in this PODCAST, in Matthew 18:21, Peter asked a profoundly important question. A question that haunted him. And if we are honest, a question that at times haunts us. Matthew 18:21 reads, “Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Can you think of any question that hits us more profoundly right where we live than this one?... Read more

(The following was originally published at www.CareyGreen.com.) Do you remember your first week in Algebra 1 class? I do. I can remember evenings at the kitchen table, reworking math problems over and over because I kept messing up easy steps early on in the process of working out the solution. It was so frustrating. I was so upset because of the basic way math works. If you miss something vital early on, it WILL impact the rest of the problem... Read more

I’m Waiting 11: Angels, Miracles, and a new Dad with Ricky Garza Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
This week, we continue our discussion with Ricky Garza.  As a child, his dad was a meth addict and dealer, which caused their family to be evicted over and over again, and bounced his dad in and out of jail repeatedly as well. When Ricky was in middle school, there was a time when his dad was spending a stint at the Vista jailhouse when he had an epiphany.  From behind the bars, his dad could see the houses... Read more

I’m Waiting 12: A Fatherly Role Model & the Decision to Wait, with Ricky Garza Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
This week, we continue our discussion with Ricky Garza. Ricky offers his insight on the extreme importance of a father’s role in the house. Study after study reveals that a dad’s role in a cohesive home is actually more important than a mother’s role, since a dad teaches a boy how to be a man and teaches his daughters how to have a relationship with a man, which transcend to healthier adulthoods for both. That being said, it’s no... Read more

To purchase the entire DVD set of the Summit Lecture Series, visit summit.org. I began to see that the New Testament is actually trustworthy. In fact, today, it says the same things that it has always said. As hard as I tried, I could not come up with any model of uniform corruption for the New Testament. The truth is that the New Testament was spread so rapidly throughout the region that in order for it to be uniformly corrupted, someone... Read more
