You're frustrated, because you want better, but don't know how to have better. You're tired of mediocrity. You don't have to be rich financially, to have an extremely rich life, and you know that. You are just tired of feeling cheated. God wants you to come in to Him, shut the "door", and sit at His feet. What you're looking for (answers, solutions, clarity, healing, provision), is all in His presence. How long are you going to settle, knowing God has the very best for you? How long will you be afraid to make the necessary moves and take the...

As the 2024 presidential election trudges on, voters will hear and see things that are true, while many of them will not be true.

Donald Trump is famous for saying at his rallies for telling his voters “What he heard" without offering any substance to some of the wild things that he tells them because they are "like Mikey", t...
