Link — April 13, 2026 — Independent living is not a real good idea
Tuesday, April 14, 2026 —In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus left the disciples and went to spend intimate time with His Father. He told the disciples to wait and watch. That’s not what they did. Stan uses what they did to talk about how, too often, he does the same thing rather than follow Jesus’ example. Link — April 14, 2026 — Going beyond where I am to where He knows I need to be

Thursday, April 16, 2026 — Words are easy. It’s easy for us to say that Jesus is Lord of our lives, but what we focus on may indicate the opposite. Stan talks about a pointed question we need to consider. Link — April 16, 2026 — Is Jesus Lord?
