HOW are we praying? Communion. Connection. Conversation. What if we worked to camp out there 24/7 so that prayer is a practice rather than a routine ritual? “Prayer is not confined to a particular time or place. It’s the atmosphere of a heart attuned to God’s Spirit. It’s the whisper of gratitude while washing dishes, the silent plea for strength in a meeting, the wordless awe before a sunset. When prayer becomes our posture, every moment is holy ground. We begin to see God not only in the sanctuary but in the supermarket; not only during morning devotions but in the rhythm of daily life.” -Pastor Charles Eduardos

"Resist The Devil and He Will Flee?" If only it were that easy. What if real RESISTANCE to the enemy is as simple as SURRENDER to God? Correction: If we're being honest, surrender to God isn't easy at all is it? But we believe it is the secret sauce. So we press onward into ALL He has for us.

As we gather around the virtual gratitude table this morning, we’ll look back at Addi’s, story and the LOVE she felt from so many, including her favorite country singer Luke Bryan❤️🙏🏻❤️ When we met Addi 8 years ago and asked her just HOW MUCH she loves Luke Bryan, she lit up and said “9,999 stars and hearts." ❤️ How do you even begin to calculate THAT level of love?:) Then MORE LOVE ensued when A Special Wish Cleveland let Luke Bryan have a window into Addi’s beautiful 9-year-old heart and she got to meet him! Annnnddd…. The good heart and soul band members of Cleveland’s Country Redford treated Addi and her family to a live all Luke Bryan music concert in her own back yard. ❤️🙏🏻❤️💪 It’s SO TRUE! -The Best Good Stuff often rises up out of the unthinkable. -Legacies we leave can be impactful if we get 9 years or 90 years -There is POWER in See The Good in Others. Be The Good For Them. Want to grab a cup of coffee and join us live to celebrate Addi and the Keegan family and cancer warriors and their families everywhere?

On the road in Columbia MO for this morning’s edition of The Best Part of Waking Up: IS Waking Up Tigers win the home opener! Back to my Mizzou roots that run deep. M-I-Z! My friend Robin Wenneker, I think, really bleeds black and gold. She joins us live to talk about WHY we’re so PROUD of The University of Missouri. Also, 4 years later we remember the 13 US Service members who died Aug 26, 2001 in the Abbey Gate Attacks. August 26th marked 4 years since suicide bombers and gunmen killed 13 American service members in Kabul days before the full withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. It was 2021 when they paid the ultimate price and 20-year-old Marine Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz, from St. Louis, was one of them. His Gold Star family continues to pay the price. So today after the headlines have passed, we settle in with Jared’s proud dad, Mark Schmitz to talk about what this Gold Star Dad is doing in the wake of that soul crushing loss. Grassroots Good Stuff in the works right now in Missouri that will uplift encourage and inspire veterans who may be struggling right now. THEfreedom13.org is how Mark Schmitz is seeing The Good in the veterans of today and being The Good for them in Jared’s name.
