He does love you

In this video, we explore the personification of Lady Wisdom as seen in the Book of Proverbs. Rather than viewing wisdom as a distant or dusty concept, we see her as a vibrant, guiding presence—a divine invitation to live life with purpose and clarity. This portrayal helps us understand that God’s truth isn’t just a list of rules, but a living voice calling us into a deeper relationship with Him through the way we navigate the world. As Sister Sofia explains, Lady Wisdom is remarkably active in our everyday lives. She isn’t hiding away in a sanctuary; she is out in the high places and the busy streets where life happens. Whether it's in the world of business, the halls of government, or a simple walk through our own neighborhoods, wisdom is constantly offering us the insight we need to act with integrity and grace in every situation. The message here is one of accessibility and hope. Wisdom is calling out to all of us, reminding us that sound judgment and a peaceful heart are not reserved for a select few. By tuning our hearts to her voice, we can find the word and grace necessary to transform our daily routines into a path of spiritual growth. It is a powerful reminder that God provides the tools we need to flourish right where we are. This video is part of the ongoing Wisdom Series by Pastor Caleb.

At my daughter’s wedding, she skipped the bouquet toss to give her sweet friend the moment of a lifetime.

At my daughter’s wedding, she skipped the bouquet toss to give her sweet friend the moment of a lifetime.

A soldier and a woman shared a hug, and the reason why will bring you to tears. Their warm and loving embrace happened between two people who did not know one another. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see the touching and powerful moment.

The world is often a sad, lonely and frightening place. People have the surprising ability to inflict incredible amounts of needless pain and suffering upon one another. The evidence for this can be seen all around us – on social media, in the workplace, in the news, in our neighborhoods, and, sadly, at times, even in our own homes.

There is too much hatred and division in this world, and entirely too little kindness, empathy and compassion. How difficult is it to be kind to someone? It usually doesn’t take much time, and the monetary cost is typically nonexistent. Who knows, a simple, what we might call meaningless, act of kindness, could be the thing that changes and brightens someone’s day, week or life. We never know the difference our actions will make until we try.

A clip posted on social media captures the aftermath immediately following an Army graduation ceremony. The video’s description states that the soldiers have just graduated from basic training and are celebrating their accomplishment with their family and friends.

However, the clip begins with a woman and a soldier hugging. The woman, a mother-in-law, spotted a soldier who had no family or friends in attendance to witness his graduation. So, she stepped up and offered the young man a hug, and it’s clear that he greatly appreciated her kind and loving gesture.

The woman saw a need and acted without hesitation. She showed kindness and compassion for a young man, who almost certainly greatly appreciated it.

Kindness does not have to involve big, grand gestures. Often, little ones will suffice, and they are usually the most meaningful and appreciated.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

Many customers who frequent a Publix location are more than happy to wait in this specific line. The reason they do not mind waiting will bring a tear or two to your eye. Watch this short but powerful clip to hear what makes one checkout line at a Publix in Georgia so special.

Grocery shopping is one of the worst things humans must do with regularity. Shopping is already a horrible activity, but when it involves entering, looking for and purchasing items at a grocery store, it gets considerably worse. There is no such thing as a quick trip to the grocery store.

People, when they walk through those doors, seem to magically forget that others exist. And you know exactly what I am talking about. It never fails that someone will be standing right in front of whatever you need, carefully and thoroughly examining bottles of ketchup as if they’ve never seen the popular condiment before.

However, at a Publix in Acworth, Georgia, there doesn’t seem to be any of that typical stress and anxiety. Instead, customers will willingly wait 30-40 minutes in a specific checkout line. And why do the customers do this? It’s so they can interact with Michael Masterangelo.
Michael, who has an intellectual disability, loves and cheers on all of the customers who come through his line.

“I’m just so happy to be here every day to work,” Michael said.

And his unbridled happiness and joy are infectious, rubbing off on customers and co-workers alike. Michael’s mother says her son is a people person who is always happy and upbeat.

One customer said that whenever she comes into the store, she immediately looks to see if 
Michael is working. She added that if he is, “it just changes everything.”

Michael doesn’t just brighten the lives of customers and his co-workers; his efforts and tremendous attitude are having a far-reaching impact.

Michael raised more than $31,000 in donations at his register for the Special Olympics.
“He raised more alone than certain districts in our region,” one Publix employee said.

What a wonderful young man. It’s clear that he was working at your local grocery store, grocery shopping would be a lot less terrible.

Hebrews 13:16 “But go on doing good and giving to others, because God is well-pleased with such offerings.”

Does a marriage fall apart in a single moment of crisis, or does it slowly wear thin in the "long middle"? This week, Dana Che, host of the Rebuilding Us podcast, joins Jaime for an honest conversation on redeeming broken marriages based on her new book, Tried and True: Marriage Advice from 12 Imperfect Biblical Couples. In this episode, Dana shares her powerful personal testimony of marrying at 18, navigating infidelity, and how God transformed their hearts of stone into hearts of flesh. She unpacks the spiritual danger of "hiding" from your spouse—like Adam and Eve—and offers practical advice for women who feel spiritually mismatched or disconnected from their husbands. Dana also tackles the controversial stance that children should not come first in the family hierarchy, explaining why prioritizing the marriage covenant is actually the best gift you can give your kids to prevent "gray divorce." You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on how to pray for your husband rather than against him to control outcomes, and how to trust Jesus as the Mediator when you feel too weary to pray. Visit danache.com to connect with Dana and pick up a copy of her new book at triedandtruemarriagebook.com. Tried and True explores the real-life struggles of biblical figures to help you navigate the "long middle" of marriage and reconnect spiritually. While there, you can also access her free 5-day devotional to help kickstart spiritual intimacy in your home, and be sure to listen to her podcast, Rebuilding Us, on the LifeAudio network.

Can a soul truly flourish while carrying the heavy burden of collateral damage? In this devotional on Psalm 52, we confront one of the darkest moments in David’s life—the massacre at Nob. We explore the aftermath of Doeg the Edomite’s "sharp razor" betrayal, which led to the slaughter of 85 priests and an entire town, leaving David wrestling with the crushing weight of responsibility for their deaths. We move beyond the horror to examine David’s defiant choice of faith: the stark contrast between the "boastful wickedness" of the enemy and David’s self-declaration as a "green olive tree" in the house of God. Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of deep restoration. If you are navigating the fallout of someone else’s betrayal, or if you are struggling with guilt over pain you feel you caused, this episode offers a sanctuary for your soul. Come ready to plant your roots deep in God’s presence, trusting that His loving-kindness endures even when the world is in chaos.

In Part 2 of the special "lost episodes" recovered from the 2018 archives, Jaime and Alana take us back to the very beginning—Episode 2 of the show—to tackle the single most neglected component of a healthy prayer life: Confession If the word "confession" stirs up feelings of fear, shame, or hesitation, this conversation flips the script, redefining the act not as a punishment, but as the essential pathway to profound spiritual healing. The hosts deconstruct the stigma around admitting our faults, illustrating how keeping "short accounts" with God is actually the key to maintaining a clear and open line of communication. Drawing from the wisdom of James 5:16, they explore how unconfessed sin acts as a "prayer block" and why the Bible links confession directly to restoration. They candidly discuss the discomfort of vulnerability, the "crumpled paper" analogy of how sin builds invisible barriers, and the often-overlooked power of corporate repentance to bring unity to the body of Christ.

The Reunion Years in the Making Experience the emotional reunion of Joseph and Jacob as God’s hand orchestrates restoration, healing, and provision. Sammy Tippit explores how God can redeem deep sorrow, bring reconciliation, and use our wisdom and integrity to bless others. Discover the timeless truth that God works behind the scenes to turn our darkest seasons into a part of His greater plan.

When the world demands justice, does God offer a different way back? In this devotional on Psalm 51, we step into the wreckage of King David’s greatest failure—the affair with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah. We move beyond a simple apology to uncover the specific Hebrew anatomy of David's confession: Pesha (rebellion), Avon (twistedness), and Hata'ah (missing the mark). We explore the shocking reality that under Mosaic Law, David should have faced the death penalty, yet he boldly asks God to "create a way" where the law offered none. Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of radical vulnerability. If you’ve ever felt like your mistakes have disqualified you from God’s presence, or that you are not worthy due to your past mistakes, this episode offers a roadmap from guilt to gladness. Come ready to run toward the Father who doesn't just want your perfection, but your broken and contrite heart.

What if the prosecution’s case is built not on your sins of ignorance, but on your acts of hypocrisy? In this devotional on Psalm 50, we enter a divine lawsuit where God acts as the Judge, Witness, then Prosecutor. We move beyond the text to uncover the Hebrew context of the "wicked"—covenant members who recite God's statutes while secretly harboring deceit. We explore why God rejects the "cattle on a thousand hills" to demand something far more costly: a "sacrifice of thanksgiving." Jaime also shares a candid personal reflection on the specific accusation of slandering "your own mother's son," connecting it to the heartbreaking political and spiritual fractures we see in the world today. She challenges us to examine our own role in that division—whether we are building unity or "letting our mouths loose in evil." Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of tender hope. If you’ve been disheartened by discord among believers or caught in the trap of performative faith, this episode offers a path toward true integrity.

Tim Conway reflected on life before fame and his legendary dentist sketch. The late comedic legend spoke with fellow comedian Conan O’Brien about growing up, what he intended to do before show business and one of the funniest skits in television history. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear from the one and only Tim Conway.

In terms of comedic television, it will be hard for anyone ever to top The Carol Burnett Show. The program is absolutely legendary, with clips of the show still making people burst into uncontrollable bouts of laughter decades after it ended its run on television. I challenge you to watch one of the show’s many skits and not burst out laughing at least once.

One of the main reasons the show was and is so beloved is because of its all-star cast. Carol Burnett, Harvey Korman and Vicki Lawrence are a heck of a talented lineup. Now, while the show was named after Carol, it was arguably Tim, another cast member, who stole the show most often. Anytime he was in a skit, you just knew something deliriously funny was not too far away.

While being interviewed by Conan O’Brien, Tim shared details about his life growing up in Northwest Ohio and how he originally wanted to be a jockey before show business got in the way.

Then, Tim shared some tidbits about the legendary dentist sketch, in which Harvey completely loses it, pretty much from the get-go. Tim, playing the dentist, accidentally injects himself with Novocain on several occasions, causing parts of his body to go to sleep.

Unbelievably, Tim mentioned that during his time in the Army, that exact thing happened to him when he went to see a dentist. That would have been more than a little frightening. The Carol Burnett Show version is a lot funnier, I’m sure.

Psalm 126:2 “Then our mouths were full of laughing, and our tongues gave a glad cry; they said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’”
