Win the Day: Five Minutes with Pastor Nat Crawford on Oneplace.com

Losing a loved one can be one of the greatest challenges to our faith. And through a story of service and sacrifice, we'll consider how to handle loss, especially when it doesn't seem fair.

Ever had God ask you to do something that just didn't make sense? We'll talk about how to find courage, trust and follow through by looking at Elijah and a seemingly "unreasonable" request from God.

Elijah came along unannounced, unwanted and unappreciated. And if you've ever felt that way, you'll be inspired as we consider how God used Elijah even through his challenges.

The call is personal. The challenge is costly. The commitment is continuous. But even though the cost of discipleship is high, the life it brings is beyond compare. Dr. John Munro focuses on Jesus' challenge from Mark.

If you want to turn your world upside down, start following Jesus! Dr. John Munro spells out the difference between learning about Christ and following Him wherever He might lead. Of course, there is a cost, but the rewards are amazing and last forever.

God's call to the 12 disciples wasn't based on what they were, but rather, on what they would become. And the same holds for us today. Dr. John Munro explains how God calls us, commissions us and empowers us despite our foibles and flaws.

Authentic discipleship is all about being with Jesus, spending time with Jesus, and learning from Jesus so we become more like Him. Dr. John Munro shows how God's plan for following Jesus is radical and rewarding.

The 12 disciples who lived back in the day are widely recognized, but being a disciple or "a follower" of Jesus isn't limited to the time our Savior walked the earth. Join Dr. John Munro for a look at modern-day discipleship. It's a pretty radical but wonderful way to live.

One thing most of us have in common is that we all have difficult family members. And even though it's hard, the best thing you can do is pray for those people. We'll talk about why.

Moses was no stranger to dealing with difficult people. And some of them were in his own family. Odds are that you have some relatives who fit a similar description, but we'll help you learn how to pray for them.

When people in your life persist in doing wrong, do you persist in praying for them? It isn't easy, but it's important. Join us as we look to the life of Moses to learn how to passionately pray for those who aren't that easy to pray for.

When you get God's guidance, you also get His presence. Two very important ingredients when you intercede for difficult people. Just like Moses understood that praying for others was first and foremost about honoring God, we'll see the importance God finds in your own prayers for others.

Praying for difficult people isn't easy, but it's also not an option. So, how do you pray for those people in your life who are a little on the "thorny" side? Moses gives us a great example, and you'll be encouraged when you see the results of his prayers.

The apostle Paul knew how to find joy even in near-impossible situations. What was his secret? Dr. Kroll reviews life lessons from Paul about finding joy for your life's journey.

Regardless of how talented or gifted we think we are, we are personally insufficient to succeed in serving the Lord. But much joy can be found when we find our sufficiency in God and extend ourselves to others.
