The Tree of Brokenness Charcoal Drawing Timelapse
EBM Commissioned three pieces of art for the distinct purpose of representing our healing journey through Christ. The Tree of Brokenness, The Tree of Restoration, and Return to the Garden. Thanks to Studio Sixtyone (www.studiosixtyoneart.com) and Ashley Benedict for her tireless effort in capturing the vision. The Tree of Brokenness illustrates our futile attempt to get our needs met apart from God. Inevitably this leads to extreme brokenness and barrenness in our lives.…

To Make a Difference in Someone's Life

Vlog #11 Surrender Our Remote Control
We often say control is an illusion. Maybe not when it comes to the socks we wear each day or what we have for lunch, but with the big issues in life. Wouldn't it make sense to ask God what He thinks would be the most appropriate fork in the road to take? Click the link to watch Colleens Vlog.

Neighboring Well
It was clear that God asked me to bring a meal to our neighbor this past Sunday. We had plenty of chili leftover after feeding friends and family. It just made sense that I would share it with someone close by. The back story being that our neighbor lives a pretty reclusive life. Very little interaction with us except an occasional hello or good morning. Which is why I thought this would be a nice gesture. The oddest thing happened. He turned down the offer. There I stood…

Let The Lord Lead Each Day
What does it mean to surrender all? As a new believer, we may have had a better idea but even that might look legalistic. True submission is giving up on our right to be right. To hold on loosely to everything that is not of God. It's all His anyway. Click the link below and watch a short video from a friend of our ministry - Pastor Joe Focht

Three Sides to Every Story

Especially when it’s played out on social media (which is neither social or media) and even more alarmingly between people who call themselves Christ-followers.…

Meditating In Nature
God gives us nature to enjoy. Although unlike its original version, there's still much to be grateful for in His handiwork. We encourage you to take a few minutes and enjoy this video we shot in Rocky Mountain National Park near Bear Lake. The serene feeling from the rushing waters provides an amazing backdrop to get quiet with the Lord and see what He wants to say to you today.
