*Post by Krystin Behannon* Hello, my name is Krystin and I do lunch for a living. Okay, not really. But, I do go out for lunch or dinner quite a bit. I love this “friend time” where I get to catch up with the people that I care most about. When you’re always on the [...]

*Post by Sharon Hodde Miller* Did you know that Peter was married? I’m sure I learned this fun fact at some point in the past, but I had forgotten about it until my pastor mentioned it in a sermon.

*Post by Julie Pierce* In my life and in my leadership, I am always on the go. I think quickly, make decisions swiftly, and move constantly.

*Post by Sharon Hodde Miller* This week I attended Willow Creek’s annual Global Leadership Summit, and I was nearly undone by the experience.

*Post by Julie Pierce* My husband Brian and I just returned home from visiting our Californian nieces. As the mom of two boys, I love soaking up time with these two feminine phenoms. It’s clear to the whole family that I have a special connection with our youngest niece, Meredith…a competitive connection.  In our 4 [...]

*Post by Hilary Barnett* Intimacy…what a powerful word. It can conjure up positive or negative emotions based on our life experience. Lately, I have been contemplating what that word really means when it comes to my relationship with Christ. It’s often hard for me to truly understand what real intimacy with Christ looks like.

*Post by Natalie Robertson* I admit it a few months ago I was totally wrapped up in the Royal wedding.  I wanted to see everything and hear everyone’s comments.  I did research on what it meant to be the heir to the British throne.  It was very interesting, and I was totally fascinated by it [...]

*Post by Sharon Hodde Miller* Right now a friend of mine is reading a book titled The Mirror Effect: How Celebrity Narcissism is Seducing America by Drew Pinksky, and it sounds fascinating to me.
