What You Missed
Mondays with Diane
When Christmas Changes
Many of us hold fast to memories of our family’s Christmas traditions. While we desire to celebrate Christmas in ways we remember fondly, with marriage, children, moves and even deaths, come changes that make things feel different. A self-professed “diehard Christmas fan,” Jordan Johnstone shares how she re-centers around the birth of Christ, embraces thankfulness, and welcomes new seasons of life during this special time of celebration.
Wednesday Interview
How Satellite Dishes Bring Hope to the Middle East
You may recognize Nancy Stafford from her time as a series regular on the TV show “Matlock”, or from her guest spots on shows like “Scandal” and “ER”, but she has so much more to share than just a wealth of experience serving Christ as an actress, producer and author in Hollywood. Nancy talks about her passion for empowering women to embrace their true identity in Christ, and her partnership with SAT7 Women for Middle East HOPE, a ministry providing satellite TV programs to Christians in the Middle East!
