ChaiNook Chats - Conversations for Courageous Faith

The Importance of Risk

I found myself in the back of a car hired by a cultural leader with unknown intentions. I'd been helping lead Bible studies for refugees in Moscow who'd fled the Taliban yeas earlier, but this was not Moscow. We'd planned a simple day visiting one of the families in their new city. We'd never expected this.
Comfort zone living doesn't grow our faith, our knowledge of God, or our character. But should we take just any risk?

Are You Cheating Yourself?

In this episode, we continue our Into the Arena series by looking deeper into James 1:22 and what it means to be a doer of the Word vs. merely a hearer.

Spectator or Performer - A Look at James 1:22

In my new book, Arena of Risk, Jordan Penny senses God has something more for him, but he doesn't know what or how to begin. His friends encourage him to take the risks God sets before him. They suggest he spend time studying James 1. Little by little, Jordan's life puzzle begins to fall into place, not only for him but also for his niece, Brina. 
Over the next several episodes, we will look at the life-changing principles Jordan found and their impact on our walk of faith.
