A teacher nicknamed him Stupid for an entire school year…job-placement counselors told him to steer clear of college due to his academic ineptitude…friends shied away from him because of his love for the arts…even those closest to him were mystified by his early passion for the Bible and his lack of interest in sports.
And the enemy used it all to torment him daily for years.
But Rick Renner was no misfit, as his young mind had been told. He not only marched to the beat of a different drummer from a very young age — he was marching to the rhythm of God’s unique calling on his life. It was a call to full-time ministry that drew him through the confusing mire of opposing voices and dream thieves to Soviet lands on the other side of the world — to places where his love for the arts was “normal,” but most importantly, to places that had been spiritually dry and devoid of the Bible for decades, where the people welcomed him and his family with open arms.
Rick’s intellectual “ineptitude” was also refuted when he studied Greek in college and went on to become a foremost teacher of New Testament Greek in the international Christian community. Having begun the first Christian television network in the former Soviet Union; produced daily TV teaching programs that air around the world; and written more than 50 books on topics ranging from Church history and spiritual warfare to events concerning the last days, Rick’s story is as unlikely as they come.
Whether you realize it or not, you have an unlikely story too. And you don’t have to be wise, powerful, or prestigious to live the dream of fulfilling your divine destiny. In fact, these aren’t the best characteristics for submitting your resumé to God. Instead, give Him your weakness and your willingness and just watch your own story of “unlikely” unfold.

Our hearts, our bodies, and our world are desperate for healing. Whether we are experiencing physical, emotional, or financial brokenness, we rightfully look to Jesus to perform a masterful restoration. But how does healing fit into God's will, especially when God doesn't heal? And how do we catch ourselves from slipping into the trap of seeking God for what he can do for us, and not for who he really is?
In his new book More Than a Healer, Costi Hinn provides clarity through thoughtful answers and biblical truths about Jesus and his healing ministry. More than chasing after the Jesus we want, this hopeful and encouraging book will guide us to discovering the Jesus we truly need.

Suicide is now the leading cause of death among young adults 18-34, and the fourth-leading cause of death among the middle-aged.
Just as a computer's hardware determines its foundational capabilities and its software determines how it interfaces with the world, humans' hardware is tied to our biology and our software dictates how we relate to others and ourselves. Together, these parts of our identity determine our functionality, limitations, and possibilities.
We become the story we have decided to live inside. When Jesus said, "I have come to set captives free", he meant that he came to “debug” our programming. Jesus invites us to partner with him to bring to the surface and then move past our debilitating bugs.
Drawing from the transformational relational strategies of Jesus, Dr. Daniel Emina and Rick Lawrence chart a path into life and freedom.

Many people say that while miraculous healings occurred frequently throughout church history, they have ceased in our modern-day, J.P. Moreland says that is simply not the case. In his new book A Simple Guide to Experience Miracles, he provides data showing how the last fifty years have seen a massive outbreak of miracles and supernatural activity, arguing that modern-day Christians should be humbly expectant of an increase of supernatural miracles in their lives.
