Hope for the Hopeless with Craig Smith

1/26/2023

Craig is the founder of Village2Village, a faith-based non-profit that builds a culture of hope in under-served regions around the world. V2V believes that true transformation can only come from a personal relationship with Christ, and they seek to transform communities and families with the living hope of Jesus.

The organization partners with local programs to create “Hope Villages” in Uganda, NW Arkansas, and Thailand, to help families to break cycles of addiction, poverty, and abuse.

*NEW BOOK: AWAKE IN THE DAWN

AS OF JANUARY 2023: Since the release of Awake in the Dawn in September 2022, the book has currently raised over $290,000 for Village2Village.

These funds are already being used. In Uganda, construction has begun on staff housing, an irrigation system is being constructed for their food crops to feed the students, and chickens have been purchased for food, for teaching animal husbandry, and hopefully as an income stream. Construction is about to begin on the 2nd floor of the building in El Salvador, which will provide additional classrooms for the children’s and student’s ministry. Funds in Thailand and the US will be used in new projects.

Your Shoulders Weren't Built to Carry Heavy Loads (Psalm 68)

1/19/2023

Does that verse encourage your heart?

I know you are busy and I know sometimes you feel weighed down by life’s demands, both the good ones and the challenging ones.

You may have young children under foot and one at the breast.
You may be trying to work a full time job while maintaining your family at home as well.
You may be caring for your parents who live in another state.
You may be trying to get out of debt so you are working an extra job, the night shift.
You may be bowed down by stress and anxiety.
You may find yourself cowering under worry and fear.
You might even feel adrift, without purpose having no idea what God has in store for you and your future.
You may be consumed by addiction or you might be making choices that don’t bring health and wellness to your mind and body.
You may be bored in life – checking out by vegging on movies and tv series or escaping with food as your prop and support in life.
Perhaps you are weighed down with illness and disease. You wonder how you will cope with this new diagnosis.
Maybe you’re weighed down by a whole lot of meaningful activities and commitments - you’re helping others, staying in shape, serving at your church, running kids hither and yon….

Whatever your situation or scenario, there is RELIEF and REST in store for you! Tune in to the full episode to hear ONE EXERCISE that you can do today to lay your burdens down!

Ditch the "resolutions" - try a more reflective method as you step into the new year!

1/5/2023

Open up a word document or grab a blank sheet of paper and take about 30 minutes or so to reflect on last year in 4 areas:

health (both emotional and physical);
your wealth (purpose, passion and earthly mission);
your love life and relationships (intimacy and community); and
your faith or spirituality.

Go ahead.

Put those category names at the top of your page: health, wealth, love, faith.

Then take a moment to pray asking God to help you create an outline or summary of this past year as the basis of your reflection.

Ask yourself - What were the major milestones or stumbling blocks in these areas of my life?
Think who, what, when, where, and how to help you delve deeper.
Determine what you want to stop, start, or continue for the coming year.
Has God placed on your heart a WORD for the year?
What do you need to RELEASE in your life?

As opposed to setting goals or creating a system for change in your life, try this reflective method to get you going in more healthier directions. It's a powerful tool to help you start this next chapter of your life!
