Lauren Daigle and Jamie MacDonald Discuss Their Powerful Song, ‘Desperate’

Lauren Daigle and Jamie MacDonald discussed their powerful new song, “Desperate.” The two talented Christian music artists explained why the song speaks to and means so much to them. Watch the short but impactful clip to hear what the two young women say about their tune, “Desperate.”

This world is a hopeless place, and, sadly, it is full of lost and broken people. Many are suffering and hurting, looking for anything that will alleviate their pain and sorrow, even for just a few seconds. They search near, far and everywhere in between, only to come up empty every time. Any “solution” they were to find would only be a temporary fix, a band-aid, and they’d be right back in the same, exact place shortly.

The only solution to any problem, issue or anything else that may ail this lost and broken world is Christ’s love, guidance, direction and forgiveness. Proceeding without it and attempting to go it alone on our own strength is a fool’s errand and will result in disappointment and disaster. Many people are in these desperate, seemingly hopeless positions. The only thing that can turn things around is Christ –the message of Lauren and Jamie’s powerful duet, “Desperate.”

In a clip posted on YouTube, the two musicians discussed their tune, including what part of the song “stands out” to Lauren and how the tune helped Jamie process a massive loss in her life.

“’I need heaven,’ that’s the lyric that always stands out to me,” Lauren said. “That was the line, honestly, that when I heard the song, that I felt the most desperation on because I don’t know if it’s your voice, like, trembles there,” Lauren said. “Maybe it’s just the word need, like, expressing that I can’t do this by myself.”

Later in the clip, Jamie mentioned that she had recently lost her father, and writing the song was a therapeutic exercise for her.

“It was just, like, this low time in my life where I really hadn’t, like, grieved everything with the loss of my dad,” she said. “And so, when we wrote that song, I felt, like, ‘Man, these are the words I’ve needed for so long.’”

Lucille Ball Shares the Surprising Origins of 'I Love Lucy'

Lucille Ball shares the surprising origin story of “I Love Lucy.” The comedy legend shares how the iconic and beloved television show almost did not happen. Watch the short but informative and surprising clip to hear Lucille Ball mention how the show eventually came together.

Everyone has a favorite television show. For some, that go-to program is a sitcom, while others may go the more dramatic and suspenseful route. Regardless of the genre, typically, it’s a show they can go back to whenever they are sick or feeling down and depressed. After a few moments with those characters and familiar storylines, you’re back to feeling like your old self.

However, as much as we love those programs, we don’t often get much or any background info on them. Why did this show make it to air when many others don’t? Who first came up with the show’s central premise? What were the show’s creators and producers thinking with this episode or character? Those are questions that many viewers never get answered when it comes to their favorite show.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the legendary Lucille Ball mentions how “I Love Lucy,” considered one of the greatest television shows of all time, almost did not happen. She says the network originally wanted the show filmed and produced in New York City, but Lucille was unwilling to move out to the Big Apple.

“They [the network] were impressed, and said, ‘Well, OK, and now come to New York and get to work,’” Lucille said. “And we said, ‘New York! We didn’t know you wanted us to come to New York. There’s no way.’”

She adds that she and her family had just bought a house in the Southern California area and were not packing up and moving across the country. The network threatened to drop the entire show, and Lucille was content with that if it meant moving to New York.

Then, after raising $5,000, Lucille says they bought the show, and the rest is, as they say, history.

Seph Schlueter on Counting His Blessings, Losing a Baby, and Trusting God Through it All

He opens up about writing songs that gained deeper meaning after tragedy, his passion for reaching prodigals, and his continued ministry.

Candace Cameron Bure Opens Up About What Still Makes Her Nervous

Candace Cameron Bure has opened up about what still makes her nervous. During an episode of “The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast”, the actress, writer and director shared what specific activity in her career gives her butterflies. Watch the short clip to hear what causes Candace a slight, momentary pause.

Nerves and anxiety are very real and are things many people struggle with. For those who do battle with anxiety, a whole host of circumstances and situations can trigger those feelings. The nervousness and anxious feelings can even get so bad that it becomes crippling and debilitating, robbing individuals of the ability to function normally.

One thing that terrifies many people and causes them horrible anxiety and nervousness is public speaking. For the most part, the fear of speaking in public stems from the idea that we’ll say something wrong or make ourselves look silly with all those eyeballs on us. That’s enough to make most people panic, including Candace.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Candace mentioned that she still gets nervous while speaking in public. However, she did make an important distinction about what kind and in what venue that causes her to feel butterflies in the stomach.

“If it’s an interview on live television, I’m not as nervous,” she said. “If it’s a performance on television, you know, any live performance, then, yes, I get more nervous.”

Later in the clip, Candace clarified exactly what she meant by “live performance.”

“Exactly, like hosting something, where it’s a performance,” she said. “I have a script. I might be reading off a teleprompter, then I’m a little bit more nervous. But it’s usually like nerves right at the beginning, and then once I’m 30 seconds into it, I’m like, ‘I got this. I know how to do this.’”

Even someone who has been acting and speaking in public for decades still gets nervous and anxious about talking in front of others.

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.”

Henry Winkler’s Kids Melt Hearts with Loving Words For Their Dad

Henry Winkler’s kids melt hearts with their loving words for their dad. He was surprised by a video of his children stating how much they love and adore him. Watch the short but tear-jerking video to hear their heartwarming messages about and for their father, Henry Winkler.

To many, actor Henry Winkler has been and will always be known as “The Fonz.” Henry’s Arthur Fonzarelli on the beloved and iconic television series “Happy Days” epitomized suave and smooth. The Fonz, while wearing a leather jacket and riding a motorcycle, was as cool as they come, and that is the image most people have of him.

However, to a few people, Henry is not The Fonz but holds a much more important, meaningful title: Dad. They don’t remember him for his iconic “Happy Days” role but for how he loved, cared for and raised them. In a clip posted on YouTube, Henry received a special and heartwarming message from his children.

While appearing on TODAY with Jenna & Friends, the actor was hit with the surprise video of children expressing their love and gratitude for their father. Their words and sentiments are enough to cause even the most unemotional person to shed a tear or two. It’s clear that they all genuinely love and appreciate their father and everything he has done for them.

Following the clip, Jenna, not Henry, was moved to tears by the message shared by his children. She then asked Henry for advice, asking him what he did to “raise such beautiful children.”

“The center of all relationships is the ear,” Henry said. “It is not how you meant it; it’s how it’s heard.”

He added that his children knew they could always tell him what was on their minds.

Later in the clip, Henry gets yet another surprise. He received his favorite sweet treat: a bundt cake.

Psalm 103:13 “As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.”

Candace Cameron Bure Reveals Family Crisis That Led Her to Faith in Christ

Candace Cameron Bure reveals the family crisis that led to her faith in Christ. The actress, author and podcast host mentioned how a tumultuous and uncertain time in her family resulted in her accepting Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear how a family crisis led her to find Jesus Christ.

Unfortunately, we will all experience hardships and trials. As most people know, they have a way of finding us at one time or another. That’s a simple and unavoidable fact of life. No one’s life is perfect, regardless of fame, status and net worth. People aren’t perfect, far from it, and so, because of that, our relationships will not be either.

Sadly, this often means that even marriages can go through rough spots, where even divorce looks like a real possibility. In a clip posted on YouTube, Candace shares how a tough period in her parents’ marriage ended with her finding and turning her life over to Jesus Christ.

“My parents were on the brink of divorce when I was 12,” she said. “A friend invited them to go to counseling at their church. My dad was not a believer. My mom was a believer, but my dad agreed to go to counseling and to start going to church.”

She mentions her parents truly wanted to fix their marriage but were unsure of how to go about doing that.

Later in the clip, Cameron says she made a life-changing decision several months after attending church.

“This started our journey going to church,” she said. “So, at 12, you know, probably after a couple of months of going, six months of going, I gave my life to Christ.”

What a powerful testimony and example of how Jesus Christ can make something beautiful from a seemingly broken and hopeless situation.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Michael W. Smith Reveals Origins of ‘Place in This World’

Michael W. Smith has revealed the origins of his hit song “Place in This World.” The background story of the beloved and iconic tune is powerful, likely to bring a tear or two or three to your eyes. Watch the short but moving clip to hear Michael explain what inspired the song’s title and lyrics.

Most people thoroughly enjoy listening to music. Honestly, who doesn’t love music? However, while many people like and appreciate music, most have no idea how their favorite tune came into being. What inspired those lyrics that you automatically sing along to whenever that tune comes on the radio, Spotify or Apple Music?

Every song must come from somewhere, from some experience or event. What was the motivation for that melody and those lyrics? In a clip posted on YouTube, Michael explains how and from where he drew inspiration when creating “Place in This World.” It’s a powerful story that may change how you look at and feel about the song.

The clip begins with Michael mentioning his overall aim for making music, stating that he wanted to use his musical gifts to bring glory and honor to His name.

“You know, I just wanted to make pop music and sing about Jesus and sing about my faith,” he said.

Later in the clip, he mentions specifically “Place in This World” and the heartbreaking place from which the lyrics came.

“I remember writing, when I wrote ‘Place in This World,’ when I even wrote the music, I remember just thinking, ‘I think this is a hit song.’” Michael said.

He mentioned bringing in Amy Grant and Wayne Kirkpatrick to help write the lyrics.

He added, “And it was inspired by all these letters I got from kids. They’re going, ‘I just, I just want to take my own life. I don’t, I don’t have anything to live for. And I think in one of those letters, a girl said, ‘I’m just trying to find my place in this world.’”

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

Tim Tebow on Why Every Believer Needs a Strong Spiritual Community

Tim Tebow shared why every believer needs a strong spiritual community. The former Heisman Trophy winner pointed out why belonging to and being plugged into a faith community is vitally important. Watch the short but powerful clip where Tim shares why this is a must for every follower of Jesus Christ.

The world is not always a friendly, welcoming, and uplifting place. Life frequently puts you through situations that leave you battered and bruised, hurting and downright discouraged. These trials and hardships can be agonizing and gut-wrenching, but some people will try to do it independently, completely, without anyone by their side.

When we endure trials and testing alone, the enemy attacks. Thoughts and feelings of worthlessness and depression start to creep into our minds. We’re suddenly reminded of past stumbles and failures. In a clip posted on YouTube, Tim shares why Christians need to belong to a strong community of other believers.

“The enemy says you’re alone, but God says I will never leave you and forsake you,” Tim said. “And so, that’s why it’s so important to have a renewing of your mind in God’s word, in Scripture, in prayer, and with other people around you because when we get isolated, when we get alone, all of those voices from the enemy start to leak in and they start to creep and they start to say and they start to point out all of those flaws.”

However, people were not meant to do life alone. We were made for relationships—to encourage and uplift one another.

Later in the clip, Tim adds that while we may have scars from what we’ve suffered in the past, God says that does not define us.

“You have to get back to Scripture because God’s saying, ‘No, no, no, no. You’re missing the mark because you’re missing the point. Yes, you have scars, and you have flaws, but you’re not defined by your scars. You’re defined by mine.”

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their work. And if one has a fall, the other will give him a hand; but unhappy is the man who is by himself, because he has no helper.”

Candace Cameron Bure’s Inspiring Take on Hearing ‘No’

Candace Cameron Bure had an inspiring take on hearing the word “no.” The actress, author, and podcast host shared how she responded when she was told no in her life. Watch the short clip to hear the encouraging and powerful way Candace has reacted whenever she encounters an obstacle.

It requires a fair amount of persistence and perseverance to accomplish anything and to get anywhere in life. Whether it’s personal or professional, there will be a lot of ups and downs. Many of those obstacles will come from people, naysayers who say something is impossible. They will say why this or that cannot be done, or they will simply respond with “no” and move along.

“No” is a word everyone is familiar with. Although it may only be two letters, hearing it can be soul-crushing, depending on the situation. In a clip posted on YouTube, Candace shares the unique way she has handled it when someone told her no in her life. Instead of allowing the harsh, straightforward response to keep her down, she has turned those situations into opportunities.

“We have figured out solutions to a lot of nos in my life and my career,” she said. “And so, people have shut that door and said, ‘No, that would never work. We’ve never done that before.’ And we come back and go, ‘Great, you’ve never done that before. Let us show you a way in which we can do that.’”

Later in the clip, Candace added that when someone responds negatively and states something is impossible for whatever reason, we should remember that we serve a mighty, all-powerful God capable of anything.

“And so, it’s a good lesson for all of you guys,” she said. “Don’t take a no at face value, and if someone tells you, like, ‘No, it’s never been done.’ Well, it doesn’t mean God can’t do that for you, and God can’t do it differently through you.”

Luke 1:37 “For there is nothing which God is not able to do.”

Comedic Legend Carol Burnett Shares Her Favorite Role from The Carol Burnett Show

Comedic legend Carol Burnett has shared her favorite role from The Carol Burnett Show. She did not hesitate in the slightest when she was asked to name the character she liked playing the most on the classic television program. Watch the short clip to hear Carol name the character she enjoyed playing the most and why.

If there were a Mt. Rushmore of comedy, Carol Burnett’s face would most certainly be on it. Her comedic genius, which has been on display throughout her illustrious career, is unmatched. Her lightning-fast, razor-sharp wit and impeccable comedic timing have made her a joy to watch for decades.

The Carol Burnett Show's zany, off-the-wall skits remain the stuff of legend, even decades after the show’s run on television ended. People can’t help but laugh themselves silly every time they catch one of those laugh-out-loud, hysterical sketches. Even though Carol appeared in hundreds of sketches and played hundreds of characters, she has a clear favorite.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the legendary comedian, in an interview from 1995, was asked to name her favorite character she played on the show. Without hesitation, Carol replied to the question with Eunice from The Mama’s Family skits. As she explains, it had nothing to do with the laughs she would inevitably get while playing that character, but more to do with the character itself.

“I think it was Eunice,” Carol said. “She started out as such a witch. She was just horrible, and then, as it developed, you could understand where her rage was coming from. It was this mother and feeling trapped and her dreams of being a movie star. Of course, were, you know, ridiculous.”

Later in the clip, Carol mentions how Eunice always wanted to be something else and was constantly striving for more.

Proverbs 17:22 “A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.”

Blake Shelton Shares How Gwen Stefani Has Helped Strengthen His Faith

Blake Shelton has shared how Gwen Stefani has helped strengthen his faith. In an interview, the country music star mentioned how his faith has grown recently and the role his wife and fellow musician, Gwen, has played in that.

Hollywood is typically not a place where faith is openly discussed or shared. For the most part, entertainers are usually tight-lipped regarding matters of faith. If they do share their thoughts and opinions on faith and religion, it’s usually to denigrate or put down those who do have faith and believe in God.

However, during a recent interview with singer-songwriter Kelleleigh Bannen, the host of the Kelleliegh Bannen Show, the topic of faith came up during a conversation with Blake Shelton. She asked the former The Voice judge if he has experienced any change in his faith, given his age, his mid-40s.

Blake was quick to respond, saying that it has grown considerably as of late. He was also quick to say that he credits his growth in his faith to one person: his wife, Gwen Stefani.

“Yeah, I would say that, and that comes from Gwen’s influence, you know?” Blake said. “Gwen in, you know, I’ve learned so much from her and she’s really the person that’s helped me kind of, you know, of get in touch with my faith, and gets serious about it, it’s not just something that you say at an awards show.”

Later in the clip, he mentioned how Gwen has pushed him to constantly think about and consider his faith. He said that she always sees the hand of God in everything around her.

“And it’s really special to be around her because it’s, her faith is alive, and it’s incredible to be around her,” he said. “And she’s so happy about it, and she loves to share it to anybody that’ll listen, and it’s inspiring to be around her.”

1 Peter 2:21 “This is God’s purpose for you: because Jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps.”

Carol Burnett Opens Up About Lucille Ball’s Impact on Her Career and Their Friendship

Carol Burnett opens up about Lucille Ball's impact on her career and their friendship. The legendary comedian discussed how the I Love Lucy star played a significant role in her career and the special friendship that developed between them. Watch the short but heartwarming and tear-jerking clip to hear how they helped each other’s careers and ultimately became friends.

If there were a Mt. Rushmore for comedy, Carol Burnett’s face would certainly be on it. Carol's name quickly comes to mind when thinking of some of the funniest, most talented people ever to grace television and the silver screen. The Carol Burnett Show is one of television's most iconic, beloved programs. Decades after the show ended, those hysterical, zany, off-the-wall skits still keep people laughing.

However, in a clip posted on YouTube, Carol explains that if not for the kindness of another legendary comedian, Lucille Ball, The Carol Burnett Show may never have existed. Carol explained how Lucille provided her with a helping hand in her career at a critical, make-or-break moment.

“The woman who influenced me the most was probably Lucille Ball,” Carol said. “She came to see me in “Once Upon a Mattress,” which was my first Broadway break, and she was there the second night. And I was more nervous that she was in the audience than I was the night before when all the critics were.”

After that evening’s show, Lucille, while talking with Carol, told her something that forever changed her career.

“And she said, ‘Kid,” Carol said. “She called me ‘Kid.’ She was 22 years old, older than I was, and said, ‘Kid, whenever you need me, give me a call.’”

Several years later, Carol had landed her first television special. However, she could only do it if she could get a major star to appear on it. She knew exactly who to reach out to: Lucille Ball. Lucille agreed to do it, and the rest is history.

They soon became friends, and Lucille always sent Carol flowers on her birthday. Sadly, Carol woke up one morning to learn her friend, the legendary Lucille Ball, had passed away – it was Carol’s birthday. Several hours later that day, flowers arrived for Carol. They were from Lucille Ball.

Dolly Parton Opens Up About the Loss of Her Husband, Carl Dean

Dolly Parton opened up about the loss of her husband, Carl Dean. The entertainment legend remembered her beloved husband in an interview on The Today Show, talking about what he meant to her and how she’s coping with the loss. Watch the short but moving clip as Dolly talks about life since losing her husband.

Unfortunately, in life, we will all experience painful and agonizing situations. Pain, hurt and heartache are unavoidable. They are, sadly, facts of life, and there will be circumstances that will undoubtedly result in unexplainable sorrow and grief. Living on Earth without going through a fair share of agonizing and devastating experiences is impossible.

Easily and without question, one of the most sorrowful and grief-stricken experiences is losing a spouse. When that happens, it can often feel like losing a part of yourself. There is arguably no closer relationship on Earth than that between spouses, and whenever that connection is broken with one of them passing away, it is often absolutely devastating. Doing life without this person can feel next to impossible, a monumental and nearly impossible task.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Dolly talked about the passing of her husband, Carl Dean. She understandably gets choked up talking about the loss and how deeply his death has impacted her. The two were married for nearly 60 years.

“I’ve loved him since I was 18 years old,” she said. “And, it’s a big adjustment. Just trying to change patterns and habits, and I’ll do fine. And I’m involved in my work, and that’s been the best thing that could happen to me. But I’ll always miss him, of course, and always love him.”

Following her husband's passing, Dolly said many people reached out to her. She received a ton of cards, letters and flowers from people all over the world.

Losing a loved one, especially a spouse, is always painful, and our prayers are with Dolly and her family.

Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

Marvel Star Sebastian Stan Fulfills Fan’s Wish in Heartwarming Make-A-Wish Moment

Marvel star Sebastian Stan fulfilled a fan’s wish in a heartwarming Make-A-Wish moment. The actor helped make the sick young lady’s dream become a reality. Watch the short but moving clip to see what Sebastian Stan did that helped to make this a day and a moment the young lady will never forget.

The world is a fallen, lost and broken place. Sin had wreaked havoc on society, leading to the destruction of marriages, families and careers. People are hurting and struggling, crying out for help. Everything has been made infinitely worse because of sin.

The fallout and repercussions of sin and disobedience are everywhere we turn. One way we see sin is in the breakdown of our bodies. Not only do our bodies get old and eventually wear out, but sickness and disease are prevalent. Sadly, not even the youngest and most innocent in our society – children – are exempt from pain and suffering.

One young woman, 18-year-old Aurora Dennison, suffers from a gastrointestinal disorder and severe, debilitating arthritis. These are conditions that she has battled for years and likely will for the rest of her life. When she’s having bad days, Aurora mentions there is one actor and character who could always make her smile: Marvel’s Bucky Barnes, who actor Sebastian Stan plays. As part of the Make-A-Wish program, the young woman was invited to the set of the latest Marvel film, “Thunderbolts*,” where she met Sebastian on her 18th birthday.

A clip posted on YouTube captured the heartwarming and tear-jerking meeting between Aurora and Sebastian.

“I was so grateful that I got to hug this person who has done so much for me,” she said.

“Aurora was amazing because she seemed to know everything about Bucky, maybe even better than I did,” Sebastian said.

However, a set visit, a hug and a couple of photos together was not all that Auror received during her time with the actor. He also helped her celebrate turning 18 by surprising her with cupcakes.

“I think any time that we have an opportunity to interact face-to-face and just see the amount of joy and gratitude that some of these kids have, you know, just from a simple 'Hello,’ fills you up,” Sebastian said.

Philippians 2:4 “Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others.”

John Krasinski’s Kids Have the Funniest Reactions to 'The Office'

John Krasinski’s kids have the funniest reactions to “The Office.” One of the stars of the iconic television show shared how his two children responded after seeing a couple of episodes of the program. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear John describe how his kids responded to “The Office.”

“The Office” is one of the most beloved sitcoms ever. It’s a well-written and quotable program that can be watched repeatedly without growing tired of it. The show is also incredibly relatable. Who hasn’t worked in an office and encountered someone like Kevin, Meredith, Creed and Dwight? Hopefully, you have never had a boss like Michael Scott!

John Krasinski, who played Jim on “The Office,” was one of the show’s main characters. While not hiding how much he utterly despised selling paper, Jim constantly played hilarious pranks on Dwight and was head-over-heels in love with Pam, the office receptionist. In a clip posted on YouTube, John told Stephen Colbert that his children had just started watching “The Office” and shared their responses.

John mentioned that in one of the program’s early episodes, in which Michael pretends to fire Pam, his oldest daughter got pretty upset.

“They were watching the first episode, and my oldest, turns out she’s a screen-talker-atter,” he said. “So, she’s talking to the screen, and so when Steve fired Jenna, she goes, ‘What are you doing? What are you doing?’ And then she goes, ‘You’re a horrible person!’”

Then, when his other daughter spotted her father on the screen, she kept asking John if that was, in fact, him in the show. He told her it was him, but she refused to believe him.

“And she goes, ‘You look very different,’” he recalled. “And I said, ‘No, that’s me. I’m just playing a character,’ and she went, ‘That’s not you.’”

Ephesians 6:4 “And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.”

Actor David Henrie Shares His Faith Journey and God’s Impact on His Life

Actor David Henrie shared his faith journey and how God has impacted his life. When he became a follower of Jesus, David mentions that it changed his personal and professional life as an actor in Hollywood. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear how David came to be a follower of God.

The world is a fallen and broken place. It’s full of people who are struggling and hurting. Most people are simply looking for something or someone they can rely upon, place their faith in and trust. Simply put, people desperately seek truth and meaning in a world devoid of both.

It was on this search, on this hunt, that David eventually found God. In a clip posted on YouTube, the “Wizards of Waverly Place” star says that he was after meaning and something real. After studying, David concluded that there had to be a God and that the world and everything in it had to have an Intelligent Designer behind it. This world did not come about by chance.

“There’s so much intelligence in the universe, and there’s so much rationality in it,” he said. “There’s so many numbers in it that had to have a Creator, and it was this lightning bolt moment where I went, ‘There has to be a God.’”

Later in the clip, David says that after concluding that God exists, he understood that he had to change his life. From that point, David says that his life started to have purpose and meaning.

“God in your life doesn’t just make things better immediately,” he said. “But He gives you purpose, and you have a goal. So, I’m not a hamster in a wheel. I’m still a hamster, but I’m going toward a goal. There’s a goal now. It’s not this infinitely circular thing where you’re chasing your tail all day long. Life is still hard, and life is still difficult, and life has suffering. But at least there’s meaning to it now, and at least there’s purpose. That, to me, made all the difference.”

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Jonathan Roumie's Powerful Words About God Leave Young Man Deeply Moved

Jonathan Roumie’s powerful words about God left one young man deeply moved. “The Chosen” actor brought the guy to the verge of tears with a few simple but moving words about God calling and reaching out to him. Watch the short but moving clip to see the powerful moment between the two men.

God is constantly working and moving in the lives of His followers. But God does not stop there. That is not all that He does. He is also a gentle and loving shepherd concerned about the lost sheep. His love is too great for Him to give up on those still living in their sin and shame.  

He constantly pleads and prods, hoping we turn away from our old, sinful ways and accept His love and forgiveness. In the Bible’s last book, Revelation, it’s written that God stands at the door and knocks, and if anyone who hears that knocking opens the door, He will come in.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Jonathan shares that what one man is dealing with spiritually is actually the Lord working on his heart and mind. The man in the clip is unsure if there is one God or many, but watching “The Chosen” has allowed him to see and experience Jesus for the first time. 

In response, Jonathan tells the young man that God is trying to reach him. The Lord is standing outside, knocking on the door of this young man's heart, hoping that He will be let in.

“God is calling you,” Jonathan tells the man. “Yeah. He wants to know you on a deeper level, and so that tug that you’re feeling, that’s Christ trying to get to know you. That’s what that is.”

The clip ends with the young man getting emotional and Jonathan telling him he will remember him in prayer.

What a powerful and moving clip!

'The Office’ Stars Reunite and Reflect on the Iconic TV Show

Stars from “The Office” reunited and reflected on the iconic TV show. The cast members shared many thoughts on and memories from their time together on the beloved program. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to hear from several of the stars of “The Office,” a show that is near and dear to the hearts of many.

Television shows come and go at a very high rate. Most sitcoms and dramas are on for a season or two at most and then forgotten forever. Whether the show was poorly made, the actors were miscast or it never quite found its audience, most programs are cancelled within a few seasons. Only a select few sitcoms and dramas ever reach three, four seasons and beyond.

Of those sitcoms and dramas that get an extended run on television, even fewer become classics. “The Office” is one of those shows that is, without question, a classic. It’s one of those shows you can watch, rewatch and never get tired of. It’s also a highly quotable program, with nearly every character having said something memorable, especially the hysterical, lovable, but terrible-at-his-job boss, Michael Scott.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the actors who played Creed, Meredith, Angela, Oscar, Erin, Stanley and Kevin reunited and looked back on the show. They shared some memories of their time on the show and mentioned how they still get recognized as their characters in public.

While sitting at their desks for those long hours while filming, they mentioned they would pass the time doing their taxes and found their houses online. 

When asked who was most like their character, Angela Kinsey, who played Angela on the show, pointed to the actor who played Creed, whose first name is actually Creed.

Somehow, it’s been 20 years since the program premiered on NBC in 2005.  For anyone who enjoys “The Office,” this clip is a must-watch!

Job 8:21 “The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.”
