I kept thinking about that statement everyone loves to throw out in times like these: “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” But that’s not actually in the Bible. God does say He… The post When God Gives You More Than You Can Handle appeared first on FaithGateway.

Long drives tend to be a time of reflection, introspection and seeking God. A time when I can more clearly hear God and understand what He is calling me to do. A time of…

Best Thing I Heard Today: February 13, 2019
Last week CCM was invited to tour rehearsal for Big Daddy Weave here in Nashville. It was cool to hang out for a little with these guys and to hear Mike share a bit of his heart and the story behind many of the songs on the new record—due out this fall. After hearing him share and then hearing them play their new song, “Alive” I can honestly say you need to go see these guys live if you get the chance. I was glad to see this new video for “Alive” was also released a few days ago. Big Daddy Weave’s “Alive” is the Best Thing I Heard Today!…
