Lauren Daigle reveals what inspired her to write “Thank God I Do.” One of the biggest names in Christian music explained the story behind and the origins of the hit song. Watch the short but powerful clip where Lauren talks about “Thank God I Do” and what moved her to write it.

This world is a sad and broken place full of people who are lost, struggling and hurting. Many are looking for anything to help them make it through whatever situation they are facing. Sadly, way too many people will continue searching, never finding the one true answer to all their worries, anxieties and heartache.

However, because we live in a broken world, we, as Christians, are not immune to experiencing painful and frightening situations. We will still encounter circumstances that cause fear and anxiety. But because we know and have faith in a gracious, loving God, we know He’ll see us through whatever the situation.

But what about those who don’t know God? That was the thought in Lauren’s mind when she wrote, “Thank God I Do.” She was praising Him because she is a follower of His and knows He will guide her and protect her in whatever situation she faces.

“I find myself whenever you’re living this human walk, right, on this planet; it’s not that we escape the things that are human; it’s that he gives us the sword to go through it, right?” Lauren said. “He gives us the power to go through it. And I just thought, when I was having these panic attacks, what would people do if they didn’t know the truth? Like, if they didn’t know what I know? I know that I’m going to make it through to the other side because of Him. I know that. But what would people do without it? And that song was written kind of out of that experience.”

What a powerful testimony about the peace and comfort found only in Him.

John 16:33 “I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world.”

A woman miraculously walks away after a tree crashes down on her car. The terrifying incident, which was caught on camera, involved the tree unexpectedly falling on the back of her car. Watch the short but amazing and frightening moment when the tree lands on the car and how the woman miraculously walks away from it.

Horrible, awful and painful things happen to all of us at one time or another. Sadly, as much as we may try, there is no way to avoid situations that result in pain and agony. It’s part of living in a broken and fallen world that sin has ruined.

No matter what we are experiencing, we can always rely upon the Lord’s guidance, protection and love to see us through. We may not always understand why something happened in life, but we can rest assured that God is still in control. Humans tend to complain and grumble when things don’t go according to plan. But have you stopped to consider how bad that situation could have been if God had not gotten involved? A clip posted on social media perfectly illustrates this point.

In the short 36-second clip, a white car is seen driving into the frame and then slowly coming to a stop. Viewers can see a heavily wooded area on the right side of the vehicle. Several large trees are spotted, and leaves are strewn about the ground. Seconds after the car pulls up, a massive tree comes crashing down, essentially destroying the back of the car. It looks like something out of a movie.

Moments after the tree has fallen, the driver’s door opens, and a woman jumps out of the vehicle. She quickly runs away from the horrific and unbelievable scene.

If she had failed to pull up even one or two more inches, she would have been crushed and instantly killed by the fallen tree. God’s hand of protection was surely upon this woman in this terrifying moment.

Isaiah 41:10 “Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.”

Candace Cameron Bure warns that Satan uses our past to hold us back. The actress, author and podcast host discussed a common attack used by the enemy. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear Candace mention how the devil will use past sins and mistakes to keep us from moving forward.

No one is perfect. Humans are a fallen and broken group, which is why Jesus Christ willingly went to the cross. He took the sins of humanity upon Himself to the cross, forever winning the victory over sin and death.

Even after accepting Christ’s love and forgiveness, humans are not perfect; they are just forgiven. While Christ may blot out our past and essentially forget our past sins and transgressions, we can often hold onto and dwell on previous stumbles and failures. Satan understands this and will use this to his advantage.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Candace explains how Satan works and what he does to try to keep us from fulfilling God’s will for our lives. She adds that a constant spiritual battle is happening all around us, with powerful, unseen forces at work.

“It is so eye-opening when I remember, like, this is not just about my flesh and blood, the here and the now, what I can see and feel, and who I’m talking to in this moment,” she said. “But there are other greater things at work that I cannot see in the spiritual realm.”

Later in the clip, Candace states that Satan is constantly attacking, always trying to steal souls by any means necessary.

“And the enemy is always fighting for our soul, and he’s poking at us from all different ways,” she said. “And a lot of times, that’s mentally. You know, he’s whispering lies into our minds to make us keep remembering things that God’s already forgiven us for.”

Ephesians 6:12 “For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against authorities and powers, against the world-rulers of this dark night, against the spirits of evil in the heavens.”

One man shared a powerful illustration of God’s love using his son. His perfect example accurately describes God’s never-ending, unconditional love for humanity. Watch the short but powerful clip to see and hear his example, which helps to put God’s love for us into perspective.

The human brain is limited. Even the most intelligent person alive, the individual with the highest IQ, will not come close to understanding God's ways. Our minds cannot grasp and comprehend many concepts and aspects of God.

One of the things that is especially hard to understand about God is the depth, magnitude and never-ending nature of His love for all humanity. Most people likely cannot imagine loving every single person on Earth. Yes, there are people we love, but there are also those we really don’t. While we don’t hate them, we aren’t going to go out of our way to offer them any assistance. We merely tolerate them when we must.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one man beautifully explains and illustrates God’s love and uses his son and his relationship to him as an example. Much like a father’s love for his son, God’s love for us was not earned, and there is nothing we could have done to earn it. He gives it because that is who He is; we are his children.

“This boy didn’t work to be my son,” he said. “He didn’t deserve it. He still can’t speak, and then you saw the noises he was making. He was my son because we wanted him to be here. When you’re a child of God, you’re a child of God because of God’s grace and God’s love for you. You didn’t earn it, deserve it and you couldn’t ever pay for it.”

Later in the clip, the man mentions what those who fast will learn and discover in the process.

“When we fast, we don’t make him our Father,” he said. “Fasting doesn’t make him your father. Fasting makes you aware of the love and the care that He has. Because sometimes we’re just distracted, and He helps us to slow everything down so that we become near to Him, so we can hear Him and be aware of Him.”

Romans 5:8 “But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.”

See what happened on the 1st Easter Sunday with beautiful music and videos. Jesus Christ rose from the dead! Be inspired with this short (1 & 1/2 minute ) video to renew your faith in your Savior!

Irish rap star Casper Walsh and his wife Kim share their powerful journey of fame, depression, and despair to finding hope in Christ.

Tauren Wells reflects on his faith journey and musical mission. The popular and incredibly talented Christian musician talks about his life and faith and how his faith in God has resulted in him creating music and leading a church. Watch the short but moving video to hear Tauren’s powerful testimony.

Everyone has plans for their lives and how they envision things going. That’s all fine and great, but as anyone who has been alive for any significant amount of time knows, life doesn’t work like that. It’s been said that if you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans. Most people would likely wholeheartedly agree with that saying.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Tauren goes through his life story. He mentions that as a 9-year-old growing up in Michigan, his life’s direction changed when his father arrived home and said the family was going to church. Soon after starting to attend church, Tauren discovered he had a knack for music.

“That summer, I went to church camp, and that’s when I first started singing in church,” he said. “And realized God had given me something that I could use for His glory to minister to His people.”

While majoring in and studying theology in college, Tauren states that God continued to work on his heart. He formed a band in Bible college, eventually leading to a record deal. Later, Tauren would go out on his own, becoming a solo artist.

Soon after becoming a solo artist, Tauren states that he felt God’s pull on his heart to start a church and become a minister. However, Tauren adds this situation, which taught him patience and the need to rely even more on God to open doors.

“A lot of times when God gives us a vision, we think we have to do it immediately,” he said. “And I think that instant obedience is a good quality to have, but God does so much more over time than He tends to do overnight. And had it not been for that season that felt like a pause in a lot of ways, we would have not launched with the height and the trajectory that we launched with in 2024.”

In addition to being one of the most popular Christian music artists, Tauren is the head pastor of the Church of Whitestone, a church in Cedar Park, Texas.

What a powerful testimony that beautifully displays the power of God!

From your lips to God's ears. The tiny pulpit series grants lay people an opportunity to share and spread God's word. The heart of Tiny Pulpit is an everyday person sharing with everyday people spiritual truths from an ever-present God.

The Bible passage from Ezekiel 37 is an amazing prophetic word not only for Israel but also for those today who are spiritually dead to sin. The Lord proclaims He can make dry bones come to life through His son Jesus.

A teen stepped in and helped save his stepdad during an emergency. The young man wasted no time and knew exactly what to do when his stepdad experienced a heart attack. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear what the young man did that helped to save his stepdad’s life.

Life is a series of wholly and completely unexpected events. Anyone who says they know what is going to happen tomorrow, the next day after or any day after that is either insane or a liar. Sure, we all have vague, general ideas of how things may turn out, but to say we know exactly how events will go is a lie.

Sadly, because of the unpredictability of life, loved ones and friends can be here one minute and gone the next. None of us are promised tomorrow. A clip posted on YouTube mentions how one family nearly lost one of its members, but a teenager stepped in and knew exactly what to do to help keep his stepdad alive.

The clip states that Michael Reese had suffered a “massive heart attack” and was found near the bottom of the stairs by his wife, Jennifer. Jennifer and her 15-year-old son, Anthony, called 911, who said they needed to begin performing CPR on Michael immediately.

Jennifer had no idea what to do, but Anthony did and jumped right in and started performing the life-saving maneuver.

“He never told me he learned CPR,” Jennifer said. “He was staying very composed. It was me that was panicking.”

Less than 10 minutes later, first responders were on the scene and provided Michael with the much-needed medical help. However, he still understands how vital Anthony’s swift and decisive actions were in that moment.

“He’s the reason I’m here today,” Michael said. “I thank him for my life.”

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and a of a sound mind.”
