HOSTS: Emily Trotter and John Fugh, Jr.

Carrie Strickland is listed on the Truth Spring, Inc website as board chair. That just doesn’t seem to truly describe her or her roll at Truth Spring, Truth Spring Academy, or Highland Community Church. Carrie is a pillar of the North Highland community. She serves and loves her neighbors well. When you hear Carrie speak you will be amazed by her obedience to her calling and the authority and boldness she brings to God’s Word. An uplifting listen no doubt.

First Steps – November 30, 2020

Sometimes what we think is a disappointment, can actually be a blessing in disguise. Take the Covid-19 pandemic for example. At first glance, Covid-19 presents multiple disappointments to our Advent schedule and celebrations. Our personal and corporate norms are upended. At first glance, this is frustrating and saddening. We long for and need the emotional lift that this season naturally brings.

However, this year might hold something more beneficial when compared to previous years. This year affords us the opportunity to slow down and reset our priorities. In past years, we have a tendency to over-function by cramming our calendars with event after event. So much so, that when the season is over, we are completely exhausted. Due to this year’s limitations, we are forced to make things simpler. This is really a gift because it allows us to focus on what is most important—the birth of Christ, and to celebrate it in a more meaningful way.

Make up your mind now to approach this season for what it is: God’s gift of salvation to all people. Allow the basic, most fundamental gift of love to penetrate your heart. Trust God’s Spirit to reveal fresh ways to seeing Jesus this season. Sometimes we can’t see clearly until obstacles have been removed. O Lord, let it be.
