Have you struggled with comparing yourself to someone else? Or wishing you fit in more? Or maybe you long to be your unique self and stand out? Maybe you’d like to be a bit of both – unique and fit in.

My husband, David Kuhns, joins me to talk about the human desire to both belong and to be unique. These opposing desires can sometimes clash or work together harmoniously. Here are some insights on how to both be unique and to fit in, and why it’s important that you be your true self.

How the Challenge Works

Most of the time when you ask God what you can do to light the world today, He will give you the opportunity to do some small thing for a person He places in your path. Never under estimate the power of igniting just one other person’s candle. A word, a smile, a helping hand, can make a huge difference when timely placed in someone else’s life. Share your light today.

How the Challenge Works

Finding gold seems like a hard thing to do, but what if it’s right under your nose?  Today I’m sharing a story I heard about a man and his two nephews who were panning for gold. The man mortgaged his farm to buy a gold mine. After several months of mining and finding only 3 ounces of gold, he called his sister in desperation, begging her to send her two sons to help him. He needed to find gold and he needed to find it fast.

This story will amuse and shock you. Hopefully, it will give you some insights on finding gold in your own life as well. Are you seeing the gold that is right in front of you?

Jesus said, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16)

I hope you’ll share the Light the World: Build the Kingdom 90 Day Challenge with your friends and family. The small things you do have a rippling effect. Light is like a smile, it can be contagious. You smile at one person and they smile at another, and then they smile at someone else. Random acts of kindness create a ripple that go on. You may never see the good that you do, from one small act.

The power of belief can create miracles and unlock blessings. The challenge is that many times circumstances look impossible, and we cannot see a way out of our predicament. We have trouble mustering the courage to believe that anything can change.

In this segment I share the story of a man and his son who came to Jesus for help. The boy had been possessed of a “dumb spirit” since his childhood. He would throw himself into the fire, foam, and move uncontrollably. His father took him to Jesus’ disciples for healing, but they could not help him.

The disciples brought the father and son to Jesus. Jesus told the father: “If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” The father cried out through tears, “Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.” (Mark 9:23-24)

I too have had situations in my life that seemed impossible. Like that father, I believed but needed help with my unbelief. In this short video I share my experience with learning to believe that God really does want to give good things to His children.

“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” (John 15:4,5,7)

God’s grace is what enables us to bear fruit. As we stay connected to Him, the impossible becomes possible.

In the parable of the sheep and goats, Jesus teaches us that how we treat each other is an indication of how we treat Him.

“When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.”
