Beth Moore on life after the SBC — and why she never could quit Jesus

Beth Moore on life after the SBC — and why she never could quit Jesus

Published by Sam Flores

HOUSTON (RNS) — For Beth Moore, leaving the Southern Baptist Convention was like falling off a cliff and not knowing if anyone would catch her. At times, she’d walk through the woods near her Texas home and have some pretty candid conversations with Jesus. “I would say to him over and over, I hope you know where we’re going,” she told Religion News Service in a recent interview. “I hope you know where we’re going, because I don’t have a clue where we’re going, and I don’t know where I’ll ever belong again.” It’s been five years since Moore, bestselling author and Bible teacher, left the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, a church that had been her refuge while growing up in a troubled home and that gave her a life she loved. Since then, Moore has found a new church home as an Anglican, rebuilt her ministry, written a memoir, recovered from spinal surgery and kept doing what she’s always done — helping women learn how to dig deep in the Bible. But last month, …

The Faraway Inn by Sarah Beth Durst

Published by Jenni Sidey

Sixteen-year-old Calisa shows up at her great-aunt’s Vermont bed-and-breakfast soggy, heartbroken, and immediately plunges chest-deep through a broken porch board. If you have read anything by Sarah Beth Durst before, that first chapter lands like a promise: things here are strange, things here are warm, and the strangeness is the point. The Faraway Inn by Sarah Beth Durst is the third entry in her Cozy Fantasies series, following The Spellshop and The Enchanted Greenhouse. Like those books, it offers domestic, emotionally grounded magic at close range. Unlike sweeping epic fantasy, the stakes here are intimate: a crumbling inn that needs saving, a great-aunt who bristles at help, and a girl who needs to work out who she is when she’s no longer defined by the boy who cheated on her. Where Vermont Meets the Very Uncanny The setup does exactly what it should. Calisa, eager for distance from her heartbreak, arrives at the Faraway Inn expecting hard work and pine trees. What she finds is a three-story architectural disaster being slowly consumed by vines, a …

Mary Beth, Steven Curtis Chapman unveil crazy stories, hard-won wisdom from 40-year marriage in ‘Still Here’

Mary Beth, Steven Curtis Chapman unveil crazy stories, hard-won wisdom from 40-year marriage in ‘Still Here’

Published by Sam Flores

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — New York Times bestselling author Mary Beth Chapman and multi-Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman have two new milestones to celebrate: 40 years of marriage and writing their first book together. “Still Here: Life Together on the Long Way Home” (B&H Publishing Group) reveals, for the first time, behind-the-scenes stories of a couple held together by divine grace and mercy. The Chapmans’ story, which began as young love on a college campus, has aged into a cherished but challenging shared journey through the complexities of life. “Still Here” provides a vulnerable narrative from two imperfect people who love God most—and love each other almost as much. Their book doesn’t sugar coat the difficulties in their 41-year marriage. It goes into candid detail about fights, tragedies and the strain brought by Steven’s career on the road. They forgo quick tips and hot takes, instead offering an authentic recollection of lived lessons and hard-won wisdom earned across four decades. “Until now, we have shied away from writing about our marriage because we thought it …

Dutton Ranch trailer catches up with Yellowstone power couple Beth and Rip

Dutton Ranch trailer catches up with Yellowstone power couple Beth and Rip

Published by skeptic

Paramount+ has released the trailer for Dutton Ranch, teasing the next Yellowstone TV spinoff to chronicle the Dutton family’s drama. Picking up after the events of Yellowstone, Dutton Ranch follows Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and her husband Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser), who were last seen moving to a ranch in Dillon, Montana. It now seems as though they didn’t stay there for long. Dutton Ranch is set on a 7,000-acre ranch in South Texas — one with a rival ranch that isn’t very friendly to the new neighbours. Of course, no matter where they go, the Duttons are still the Duttons, which means drama and violence are sure to follow. Dutton Ranch premieres May 15 on Paramount+. Source link

Beth Moore to end Living Proof events in 2027

Beth Moore to end Living Proof events in 2027

Published by Sam Flores

(RNS) — Bible teacher and bestselling author Beth Moore announced Thursday (March 5) that her ministry will stop holding large-scale Living Proof events in 2027. The decision to end Living Proof Ministries events, which feature Moore’s Bible teaching and worship music, will coincide with her 70th birthday. She plans to continue speaking and writing but will no longer host events. “Though it may sound like retirement, unless the Lord wills it, it’s meant to actually delay retirement, making the best use of my remaining energies in the last chapter of ministry,” Moore, the founder of Living Proof Ministries in Houston, said in a video announcement. For decades, Moore taught at stadiums and megachurches and sold millions of Bible studies and books, in a remarkable career that started when she began teaching a Bible study at a church in Houston. One of her studies, “A Woman’s Heart: God’s Dwelling Place,” wound up in the hands of an editor at Lifeway, the Southern Baptist Convention publishing arm, which led to a publishing deal that lasted for decades and …

5 Things People Who Don’t Have A Fear Of Being Alone Do Without Realizing It | Beth O’Brien

Published by Jenni Sidey

Do you get overwhelmed by the fear of being alone? A lot of people are perfectly capable of spending time by themselves, and those who don’t need constant company to feel okay usually do a few specific things without realizing it. If you struggle with a fear of being alone, you can’t even imagine spending time by yourself without a pending panic attack. If the idea of being alone doesn’t just make you uncomfortable but fills you with deep-seated terror, you may have a condition called “monophobia.” There is no single cause, but genetics may play a factor, as anxiety tends to run in families. A traumatic experience during childhood, like being left alone when something scary happened, can also plant the seeds. And growing up with relatives who manage anxiety in fearful ways can teach children to feel unsafe and handle their own worries similarly. People with monophobia feel they need others around in order to feel safe, and their response goes beyond simple discomfort. In order to qualify as a phobia, the anxiety …

Beth Rigby: The constant challenges I face keeping my kids safe in the new Wild West | Politics News

Published by Sam Flores

You know me best as Sky News’s political editor, but I am also a mum to two teenagers aged 13 and 16. They were babies born into the age of the iPad, the smartphone and social media and have grown up in what I call the digital Wild West. From the iPads when they were younger, to the smartphones at secondary school, raising children against the backdrop of the explosion of social media, gaming platforms, and artificial intelligence has been like trying to navigate a new frontier without a playbook. It has been a constant battle to balance the benefits of using technology – be it creative play on Minecraft or Roblox – while trying to keep them safe in these spaces where chatrooms are rife and protect their growing minds. Image: Roblox is played by millions of children all over the world.
