 Guest blog written by Abbe Skaggs:
“And then, after your brief suffering, the God of all loving grace, who has called you to share in His eternal glory in Christ, will personally and powerfully restore you and make you stronger than ever. Yes, He will set you firmly in place and build you up.” 1 Peter 5:10 Life hasn’t been easy with chronic illness. At 6 months old, I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) via sweat test. My mom recognized the signs right away-wheezing/coughing with thick mucus, failure to thrive and troubles digesting my food. She saw those same signs 6 years earlier when my sister was diagnosed with CF.

Four Common Problems I See in Marriages1/23/2023  Working as a marriage and family therapist, I get a unique view into marriage every day. The severity and intensity of a couple’s problems I work with range from “we get along really well but need to work on communicating better with each other” to “I hate my spouse for what they’ve done to me and I never wanna see them again.” Some couples are committed to making things work at any cost while others are hanging on by a thread and view me as their last hope. (*Side note-if you’re putting your hope in me, prepare to be let down! I can’t fix your marriage, but Jesus can!*)
It Starts With Coffee and Jesus1/17/2023  Guest blog written by Katie Kuschel:
I'm not a writer. I don't sit in my house on my computer or at a desk with my favorite pen and notebook jotting down all my feelings and deep intellectual thoughts. To be honest, I'm pretty sure I failed my high school English class...nope, I am not a writer. I'm a stay-at-home mom from Minnesota with a message, who was randomly asked to write a guest blog. So here I am. Writing. Praying that God uses this to speak to your heart and move you to action.  On the January 2nd edition of Monday Night Football, I witnessed one of the scariest and most bizarre things I’d ever seen take place on the gridiron. Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin had tackled Cincinnati Bengals Wide Receiver Tee Higgins on a seemingly routine play, but when Damar stood up after the play, he collapsed back down onto the field.
 Those that know me well know that I’m a fan of professional wrestling. Some may wonder why I like watching grown men and women pretend fighting, essentially in their underwear, in front of thousands of people. My answer to that is it’s like any other TV show or movie I watch-even though it’s “fake,” it’s still entertaining. The larger than life personalities of the wrestlers. The extravagant entrances to the ring. The athleticism displayed in the squared circle. The storylines that lead to the “good guy” getting the victory. I’m a sucker for it all!
Terry SkaggsAs a licensed marriage and family therapist, listening, observing, and asking meaningful questions come naturally to me. But I felt called by the Lord to do more with my life, so I began interviewing people and sharing their incredible stories of transformation with the world. Archives
