Trying times make us either better or bitter, all depending on our attitude. We can choose to trust God and develop supernatural endurance, or to turn from God and take on the struggle to survive. In this interview, Jennifer Pharr Davis calls us to trust God, even as we face the challenges of a pandemic. Having set the overall (male or female) fastest known hike through time on the Appalachian Trail, she shares insights from her journey.

The Peter Principle
In 1969, Laurence J. Peter wrote a satire, promoting what is now known as “The Peter Principle,” which states that in a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence. More than 2,000 years ago, our Lord’s disciple, Peter, demonstrated a different Peter Principle, focused not on hierarchy but on service, leading not to personal incompetence, but to God-inspired competence. Michelle Coleman, Promotions Manager at the Billy Graham Training Center at the Cove, offers advice to help us follow in Peter’s steps.

Toxic People
As Christians, we often feel the guilt and responsibility of meeting the needs of unhealthy people in our lives. Whether a sibling, parent, spouse, coworker, or friend, toxic people frequently seek to frustrate our life’s calling. Author Gary Thomas urges us to turn away from the impossible task of mollifying toxic people; it’s time we dedicate our energy to the only worthwhile effort: completing the work God has given us by investing in reliable people. It’s only when we learn to say no to bad patterns that we can say yes to the good work God has planned for us.
