Tgif, Today God Is First By Os Hillman

David Blackburn is founder of the Nothing Is Wasted ministry that has a weekly national podcast. His ministry was birthed out of a devasting event – the death of his wife. David called me and expressed his appreciation for my book, The Upside of Adversity: From the pit to greatness. “It got me through a very difficult time,” said David. “Thank you for writing it.” David and I visited over the phone. He asked me to be a guest on his weekly podcast. In this podcast he asks me questions no other podcaster has asked before. Some of the topics we discuss are How I navigated failure in business and marriage. How I dealt shame from failure. Why pain is a common denominator in life. How adversity often ushers us into the larger story of our life. Why mentors are important to navigating difficult seasons in life. How God sees our adversity. Why knowing the truth about our circumstances is key to freedom in Christ. The key to overcoming strongholds in our lives. Avoiding perceptions of disqualification for use by G

Covid-19 has changed the landscape in a lot of businesses and ministries. Prison ministry is a major ministry category that has literally been shut down because prison ministries are not allowed to go into prisons since the shutdown – except for one. God gave Pamela Hillman an idea on how to ministry and transform lives in prison through a unique 1-1 mentoring program conducted via email and video chat. Their mentors never go into the prison. So, LifeChangers Legacy has not missed a beat. In fact, many other prison ministries are coming along side Pamela’s ministry to serve those in prison. This week’s podcast is an interview with founder and president of LifeChangers Legacy Ministries, Pamela Hillman. You’ll hear Pamela’s inspiring story of how she overcame a life of drugs and sexual abuse that landed her in prison for 18 months. It was there LifeChangers Legacy was birthed and is touching hundreds of lives every day. You’ll hear… Pamela’s inspiring story of redemption. How her unique 1-1 I See Me FRE

Recently I gathered with a group of leaders for the purpose of strategizing and praying for revival in America. We all agreed that politics will not cause revival, only humble prayer will be the key ingredient, plus collaboration and thoughtful strategy revealed by the Holy Spirit. I gave a talk that addressed several elements: • How we got to this place in history. • The strategy of the anti-Christ movement in America. • The key tipping points that have contributed to our fall. • Lessons we can learn from William Wilberforce. • Attributes of movements • And a great deal more. If this kind of stuff interest you, I encourage you to watch my presentation. Please subscribe to our channel to be notified of our TGIF@Work podcasts published every Thursday.

He was born into wealth. He could have lived a life of luxury. But God had a different plan for this petite young man, standing only 5 feet tall, but became a giant of a man who moved mountains to abolish slavery in England and achieve 69 world-changing initiatives.

Discover why it only takes a few committed followers of Christ to change the world!

Let’s face it. Marriage can be hard. He’s messy, I’m neat. She talks a lot, I don’t. I want more sex, she doesn’t. I discipline the kids, so I’m the bad parent. She’s a spender, I’m a saver. The list could go on and on. A speaker once said, “The greatest prescription for helping you deal with selfishness is MARRIAGE!” We can all relate to that one. David and Teresa Ferguson got married at the ripe age of 16. And they are still married after years. It wasn’t easy for two teenagers to begin life together. They had a lot of failure. But they persevered through many trials and have come out the other end as gold. They now help thousands of couples learn how to not just stay married, but actually thrive in their marriage. They direct Intimate Life Ministries designed to help couples succeed in their marriages. Their book, Devotions for Couples, is a masterpiece of wisdom for couples. They cover 52 topics of marriage every couple deals with on a daily basis. No stone is unturned in this masterful work. They sha

Where do you go to find real truth these days? Everyday I am confronted with statements in the media and on television that simply are not based on truth. The Bible says that “The truth shall make you free.” – John 8:32. Conversely, lies can put you in bondage and even destroy your way of life. In this week’s TGIF@Work podcast I take a look at some recent statements we’ll discuss if they are true. Covid-19 is a dangerous pandemic that requires you to avoid interaction with others at all cost. Is Black Lives Matter helping the African American community? Should the wealthy be heavily taxed to achieve income equality? Should every American receive money from the government? We should not be concerned about the national debt. It’s a good idea for professional sports team like NFL and NBA to have a separate anthem along with the National Anthem sung before game time. Change can only happen with a revival in our nation. We’ll tackle more questions as well. Join us.

Over the years I have been asked dozens of questions about why people go through adversity. I have learned the answers to these questions partly from personal experience and a great deal of study of adversity in the Bible.

That might sound like a strange question. But the truth is, the gay community has employed a marketing strategy to change America’s view of the gay issue very effectively over the last 25 years. The church can learn from this strategy. You see, the gay community utilized a 7 mountain strategy to shift their issue from being a moral issue to being a civil rights issue. They developed strategies in business, government, arts and entertainment, media, education, family and even the church. In this week’s podcast I share how they have effectively won the culture war with their biggest prize of all being legalizing gay marriage in America. We’ll answer other questions about this topic that you’ve always wondered, such as, are gays born gay. We’ll answer that one with the words of one of their own.
