I've tried really hard to write this week. I've stared at the blank computer screen resting my hands against the keyboard with tears in my eyes. I've felt so insecure about trying to put my thoughts out here in the open for everyone to read. So, like any vulnerable person...I held them inside because I wanted [...]
Tag: Master’s Commission
Guest Post by Jim Guerra
Hi everyone!! I hope you had a great week. I realize there is so much that I need to explain and so much that you want to hear regarding the MCIN announcement. I am just searching for the right way to convey what's in my heart. I will be writing more on that subject this [...]
Important Update for MC students
Below is a statement regarding the affiliate status of the Master's Commission that Barry and I were on staff at in Louisiana. In light of the many stories of abuse the MCIN received, they conducted an investigation and have removed the affiliate status of this program. I am forever thankful to Pastor Lloyd Zeigler and [...]

Heartache to Healing
A Transparent Life (part 3)
What is correction, how should Christians handle it and why is it needed? I've pondered all of these questions through the years. I've flourished because of a gentle and timely correction and as you may have read in my last post...I've withered as the result of harsh words spoken in an untimely manner. So, how [...]
