You felt that nudge, an urge, from deep inside you, calling you out of your comfort zone. Calling to you to take a risk. You have felt that call from God, asking you to step out of the boat, to do something significant. Jason and Haley Bilotti each felt it—for years. But as they began to have children and their obligations with Chick-fil-A grew, they didn’t see a way to answer the call of their hearts: to serve God through missions. When the opportunity presented itself for them to take separate missions trips, they learned just how creative God truly is. They began leading separate teams to Niger, in western Africa, and to serve the neediest of all, the children. Through their work with Schools for Niger, Africa, an organization the Bilottis and their business associates started, they found inroads to countless communities throughout Niger. Their work also led them to meet their future son, Rachid, a child they first sponsored and later adopted. Jason and Haley tell their touching story using alternating perspectives, while also bringing in their grown children to help tell it from their own points of view. In reading this book, you will sense their passion for serving the lost and forgotten, and you will feel the love they have for the people God has brought their way. The Bilottis’ story, Sink or Sit, will both inspire and empower you to take your own leap. To get out of that boat. To trust that sinking is better than sitting.Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.

It opens the heart, opens possibilities that are impossible by natural means, and opens the door to God’s presence.Through a particular and persistent kind of prayer, peace and power flow from God into our lives. The problem is that many people have an experience of prayer that is dull, unimaginative, and lacking power. Their prayer yields few answers and little peace.Jesus’s disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray.” Hearing Jesus pray, they knew that they needed to learn how to pray on a deeper level in order to see the miracles and transformation of persistent prayer. In the same way, we need to learn the conditions of prayer that prevail so that we can walk in faith, expect answers, and give thanks even before prayer is answered.In Prayer Power: 40 Days of Learning to Pray Like George Müller, author Brent Patrick McDougal invites you to take a forty-day journey to discover that kind of prayer.Each day features a teaching from Scripture and a story from the life of nineteenth-century pastor George Müller, one of the great heroes of our faith.

Instead, he prayed as each need arose.Prayer Power teaches everyday people of faith how to pray with the faith of George Müller, expecting answers because our good God is waiting to meet and reward those who seek Him.Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Those differences might be rooted in culture or personality or even musical style. In recent years, differences over political and social issues have frayed the unity of many churches. Yet if a church is centered on Christ alone, then unity at church will sometimes require building genuine friendships that bridge across all those differences.

Today, Roberta talks to Carl Barrett about God's Holiness vs Man's Lawlessness: A Guide Through Leviticus."We will always obey our Lord at all costs." This is the opposite of the spirit of lawlessness, which despises authority and cultivates chaos, division, and destruction. And there is no doubt that lawless and unrighteous acts are on the rise throughout this country. In a time when unholiness is rampant in our homes, schools, communities, churches, and abroad, there are alarming concerns about these escalating acts. If we're not students of God's word, growing in his grace and love as believers, we can find ourselves vulnerable to the rise of unholiness because it can distort our minds, heart, and attitude. It's important that God's children are on the front line in pursuing God's most divine nature of holiness and living as intentional followers of Christ. Because make no mistake: God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit are not pleased with all the unholy practices saturating our lives. They are calling believers to intercede in the gap and bridge God's holiness in people's lives! As devout Christians, we are needed more than ever because an intense battle of spiritual warfare is spreading where evil is trying to take over, and we cannot allow this to happen.Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.

Today, Roberta talks to John and Angel Beeson about their new book Trading Faces: Removing the Masks that Hide Your God-Given Identity, available from Kregel publishers.A biblical and practical guide on how to replace false identities with the healthy truthSeeking fulfilment, many Christians turn to identities that promise to give their lives meaning: profession, roles as spouse or parent, personality types, even sexuality--anything that can be held up to others as the empowering core of who they are. But when these new labels don’t give them any real foundation for hope, they end up feeling disappointed, directionless, and defeated. Those false identities turn out to be only sand.John and Angel Beeson have seen this problem again and again in their respective roles as pastor and counselor. And they want searching Christians to know the truth: a fulfilling understanding of self can only be found by rooting one's identity in the unchangeable and nonnegotiable understanding of who we were created to be.This husband-and-wife team considers ten identities that masquerade as truth and challenge readers to trade those labels for the ones Christ offers. They explain why true identity matters, how our masks can suffocate us, and how substitute identities can become idolatry. They share real struggles from real people. And they offer hope in a comprehensive index of our identities in Christ, both individual and the collective identity of the church.Brought to you by Roberta Foster, KNEO Radio and the Sky High Podcast Network.
