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.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - The Power of a Parents Words - #8258 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
Baseball season was always a special time for me and my boys. We bonded, actually, playing baseball together, and I remember when I was first teaching my oldest son how to hit a ball. It was just a plastic Wiffle bat and ball in our backyard. And I pitched gently, but he was just chopping at it and missing. He had two strikes. I went over to him, coached him a little, took a few steps back to throw the ball, and said, “Hey, I know you’re going to hit it this time, man!” He whacked that ball into the neighbor’s yard. Do you know, years later, in a college class where they asked students about important memories from their childhood, that’s the day he told them about.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Your Own 24 - #8257 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
When I first heard about the TV series, “24,” I thought the idea was a non-starter. I mean, the entire season is about one day, with each show being one hour of that day. A dumb idea, I thought. Well, it shows how much I know. They’re several seasons in now, and the show continues to draw a strong audience. And for Jack Bauer, the hero, the entire season is about just one day.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Shiny Gold or Solid Gold - #8256 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
A friend of ours has been watching the price of gold going up and up, and she decided it was time to trade in some gold jewelry for cash. She had some elegant looking pieces, and then one that she described as “really pretty ugly.” But the jeweler saw something different. The beautiful pieces brought some modest cash. The “ugly” one was worth more than any other piece. It didn’t look all that great on the outside, but when the jeweler weighed it, he said it was solid gold all the way through.

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. - Embarrassing Endorsements - #8254 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
They call them celebrity endorsements. You know, I see some athlete or celebrity in a commercial, using some product, and I’m supposed to think, “Hey, I like that guy. So I guess I’ll use their product.” Athletes, for example, can make major bucks from these endorsements. Here’s where the problem comes in. What if the guy you’ve associated with your product is suddenly associated with some not-so-nice behavior; like the Olympic star eating a certain cereal who was also allegedly photographed using marijuana? Oops! Or the singer with the chewing gum in his hand who suddenly is accused of not treating his girlfriend very well? Oops! That’s when endorsement turns to like embarrassment.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Clouds Over Baseball - #8253 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I heard it first from my baseball card collecting grandson: “Hear about A-Rod? He admitted using steroids.” He’s not the only 10-year-old boy to lock in on that news. And that’s not who you want to hear it from. Alex Rodriguez–three-time American League MVP, baseball’s highest paid player–admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs. And clouds again rolled in over Major League Baseball. He’s not the first, and probably not the last to have a giant question mark over a great career. How much was his ability, and how much was what he injected into his system?

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Even Better Than Gold - #8252 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and the same day I was reading about the skyrocketing value of gold, I read in the Bible about something God says is even better than gold. You might be surprised what it is. It says, “For a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith–of greater worth than gold—may be proved genuine” (1 Peter 1:6-7 ).

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - How Families Get in Trouble - #8251 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I’m Ron Hutchcraft and that is actually not the first time a big mess has resulted from the lack of communication. In fact, that’s how many families get in trouble, because the captain and the pilot aren’t communicating.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Titanic Tragedy - #8250 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I had just arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia to speak. And much to his surprise, I asked the cabbie to take me to the cemetery. I walked along this line of markers that all had the same date—April 15, 1912. That was the fateful day the Titanic went down. 1500 passengers died, only 700 survived. But most of the people buried in that cemetery did not have to die that night.
