How do you choose joy and gratitude in difficult seasons? As Christians we are called to "give thanks" and "be content in all circumstances", so how do we do this when life is at its worst? Author Cindy Brinker Simmons has journeyed through the loss of her mother and husband to cancer and shares encouragement to press forward, choose joy, and trust God no matter the circumstance. As we head toward Thanksgiving, consider God's rescue plan for each of us and how Jesus is our hope and anchor through all of the storms of life.

With Thanksgiving less than a week away, this best of conversation with Dr. Jim Coakley will set the table with insights from the Bible's doxologies. Jim will remind us that often in the middle of deep teaching in Scripture, we experience a pause as the writer turns our focus to the attributes of God. Along with these God focused praise doxologies, some are designed to bless and encourage God's people. Join this week's study into the doxologies and let's fill our cup with the greatness and goodness of our God!

How is God's economy different than man's? Faith and Finance Live's Rob West shares a lesson he's learned from talking with listeners regardless of their financial status. That lesson is that no matter how much money they have, money can be both a blessing and a burden. It all comes down to whether we are following the world's perspective on money or God's. Rob will help us think through how we view money and how knowing the role of money in God's economy frees us from the bondage and burden money can be in our lives.
