    In Generosity, the focus shifts to the act of giving, whether through time, resources, or support. This section uncovers how generosity goes beyond material gifts, encompassing acts of kindness and the shared joy of contributing to the well-being of others.

    A Fisherman Called Simon

    Simon was a loyal son, a selfless brother, a faithful husband, a loving father, a trustworthy friend, and a skillful fisherman, as well as a natural leader – long before he ever met Jesus of Nazareth. He put the needs of others before his own.     He led with his heart; often before he engaged his head. Some might call him impetuous, but others would say impassioned. He was the only one willing to step out of the boat and walk on the water. He alone drew his sword to defend his Master. But this same man failed in a moment of fear and denied his Lord.     This is the story of a fisherman called Simon, upon whose confession Jesus said He would build His church. Consider this one who followed Jesus to his Savior’s cross … and subsequently to his own..     Consider his story — the portion you may already know … and the rest of the story that could have been.

Is this my life and the first step toward dying in a gutter like Dad says I will? Will I be in and out of prison? I walk faster and faster….breaking into a run and then running until I’m exhausted.

In his late teens and early twenties, his life has been thrust into a desperate existence, wandering homeless through hippie communes, pursuing hard drugs and strange religions, all in his search for healing and love.Then, just as hope dawns, it fades and dies as Phillip discovers he’s trapped in the suffocating embrace of a heavy-handed ultraconservative Anabaptist church. Twenty-six years pass, and he escapes with his wife and 9 children. Desperately, he runs to mainstream Christianity but doesn’t seem to fit in anywhere.Best Selling Author Phillip Cohen brings you his memoir which delivers an unforgettable exploration of faith, identity, and the profound pursuit of purpose—a journey guided by the light of Jesus shining through it all.

    The fifth story in the Chosen to Serve series revolves around the corruption obvious in the 2020 election. Jimmy is charged by the Lord to expose the corruption to the American people, discussing the founding principles of the Grand Experiment that was the United States of America. 
     Patriotism and Christian principles are dealt with, as Jimmy accomplishes his ministry, for the Lord’s purposes. Issues of information manipulation are prominent and the struggle incumbent in a Believer living in a corrupt world, called to stand for truth. 
     Wikipedia says that Propaganda is communication used to influence or persuade an audience to further an agenda and may be selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular perception; or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response. The digital age has given rise to new ways of disseminating propaganda; bots and algorithms are being used to create computational propaganda and fake or biased news. 
     Be careful little eyes what you see and be careful little ears what you hear.

    Kayleigh McEnany brings to life the key cultural and political issues of our time,  analyzing world events through the lens of faith and providing listeners with Serenity in the Storm. 
     
     
     
    Our world, without question, is experiencing aberrational times. The life-altering realities of COVID-19 that I worked through as White House press secretary were just the start of it. What followed was a series of history-defining events. From the fall of Afghanistan to the nationwide crime wave, we've all endured painful images of death, destruction, and chaos. Meanwhile, radical teachings on gender and race have infiltrated our nation's schools, poisoning the minds of our children—all at a time when our country feels more divided than ever before. Along with these twenty-first century realities can come a feeling of despair and discouragement. Indeed, I hear it all the time as I crisscross the country: Americans feel disheartened and seek hope. 
     
     
     
    Taking a similar format to my New York Times bestselling book, For Such a Time as This, I analyze our domestic and international challenges through the lens of faith. Though we have lived through dark times, the storms we face have prompted many great leaders to rise to the moment and have left a yearning in the human heart for a Savior, Jesus Christ, who is walking alongside us every step of the way.
