Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Hannah Montana's Nightmare - #8285 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
Life for Miley Cyrus–a.k.a., pop star, Hannah Montana–hasn’t always been as cool as it is today. In her autobiography, she describes her pre-teen years as “friendless, lonely and miserable.” She says she was “scrawny and short” and some girls she describes as “big and tough” terrorized her; locking her in a bathroom, trying to goad her into fighting them, taunting she would never amount to anything. She lived in fear most days at school. She’s a star now, so she’s not treated that way anymore, but she’s been recycling that garbage. She said, “I didn’t dare forget the struggle. There was a reason for it. I brought that girl with me, and she reminds me to be compassionate, to not hold grudges, to be supportive, to be there for others when I know I’m needed.”

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Flowers or Fruit - #8280 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
The pear trees around our Ministry Headquarters really show off in the Spring! They’re covered with these beautiful white flowers. It’s like an explosion of life and color, but there’s an ugly little secret about those pear trees. They’re called ornamental. They don’t produce any pears, just pretty flowers—like lots of people at church every week.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - What You'd Thought You'd Never Get Rid Of - #8270 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I’ve been looking at those marks on our table for so long, I just about forgot they were there. See, our grandchildren had gotten to it and they left their artwork there with markers, and pens, and crayons. Well, not long ago, a friend was helping us with some work at the house, and she decided to use this special sponge on those marks. I think it’s called Miracle Erase. Well, we were stunned at the result! It was like we got a new table. My wife said, “I never thought I’d get rid of those.”

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Victim is Not Your Middle Name - #8261 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
Cindy called all the way from Alaska last night to ask for prayer. She has (called) a number of times (to ask for prayer), but this call brought some painful news. Cindy was the victim of a terrible sexual assault. Thankfully, she’s getting the appropriate counseling, but she, of course, really needs prayer. And as I prayed for her on the phone, I found myself praying this way: “Lord, help Cindy to never let this experience define who she is. ‘Rape victim’ is something awful that happened to her, Lord, but it’s not who she is.”

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - The Simple Secret of Not Getting Sick - #8259 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and it turns out that this secret of staying physically healthy can also help us stay healthy in our relationship with Jesus—frequent washing, getting rid of the dirt we pick up during the day before it makes us sick.

Hard-Earned Credentials - #2636
The pain you've been through may never make much sense until you see Jesus and He shows you the grand design. But until then, offer that pain to Him as credentials, to make a difference for Him to other wounded people. Remember, your wounds are your credentials.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - The End of Your Journey - #8255 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
Not long ago, we had occasion to pass through Albuquerque, New Mexico. And I was reminded of a dear Native American friend, who is up in years and battling some physical problems. He told me that he views this part of his life as he does driving to Albuquerque. See, there’s this long climb to get to the top of this steep hill, and then suddenly, there it is: the beautiful lights of the city that you’ve wanted to get to.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - What Love Demands - #8248 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
He’s an unlikely guy to be talking this way, but the message he delivered is one we need to hear. Penn Jillette is a comedian, a magician, a filmmaker, and he’s an atheist. Someone gave him a Bible recently, and his reaction was pretty unpredictable.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Life In a Bunker - #8234 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
Usually, my life is full of almost non-stop ministry activity, but an inch of ice changed all that for a few days. My world became our powerless home and a yard that looked like a battlefield. Finally, we were able to drive the few miles to town. I had broken out! And suddenly it dawned on me, I’d allowed all our battles of maintaining to give me something I had never experienced before: a bunker mentality.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - The Magnet Inside You - #8232 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I couldn't resist buying these two little stuffed bears for my wife for Valentine's Day. You hit the on button and they are drawn to each other with puckered lips and they kiss. Now, there’s a reason they can’t help being attracted to each other; they’ve got magnets inside. So do you. ... I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and if you have an active relationship with Jesus Christ, you have a magnet inside you, whether you realize it or not.
