Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Children of the Quake - #8067
I’ve worked with an awful lot of young people over the years and they’ve struggled to live a life that matters because of the trauma they’ve experienced in the quake in their family—the anger and the conflict and the attacks and the names they’ve been called.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Great Cheerleader Shortage - #5244
One problem is that spiritual leaders usually appear to be strong. They have to. They look like they have everything together. But let me assure you, they struggle more than they ever show. I know many of them. They struggle with discouragement, weariness, temptation, failure feelings, and with the great temptation to give up. You could make a difference if you asked God for radar to see a way that you could minister to one of His leaders.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Smoother Air Higher Up - #5623
That's what elevates you higher and smoother air. Thanking God, praising God - before you ask for anything. That's what takes you from the turbulence of the Worry Zone into the peace of the God Zone.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Sheep Shoving - #5622
If you're trying to do any shepherding, take a lesson from the Great Shepherd and many other shepherds - gently lead them. Even though you sometimes feel like really pushing them. Leading just works so much better than pushing.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Why Rocky Always Wins - #3810
If you know Christ, you have in Him the power to be a rock-person just like Paul. Remember, the rock smashes the wave; the wave doesn't smash the rock! In football, they'll talk about whether or not a player can take a hit. Well, Paul could--and so can you--if you are drawing on the same stabilizing source of endurance.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Insisting on Driving - #3819
Now you may be a very independent person. You've driven your life all these years, and you're not about to relinquish the wheel now. But all these years, the One who created you has been saying, "Isn't it about time you let Me drive?" And while you may have tried to keep God happy by being religious, you have stubbornly tightened your fingers around the wheel.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - When Your Transformer is Out - #3853
It could be that the power's been out where you live - in your life, I mean. You're facing some issues that just can't seem to be resolved, some problems that seem to defy solution, some mountains that just aren't moving, some questions that just aren't getting answered, maybe an overload that is overwhelming you. Maybe in your family, maybe at church or at work, maybe in your personal life - there just doesn't seem to be anything powerful enough to meet the need, to handle the demands. Maybe the transformer's down.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Removing a Mountain, Making a Road - #5318
Maybe it's going to take a change of leadership in order for there to be a way, a miraculous recovery, or a seemingly impossible breakthrough. God does all of those, too. God's allowed you to run up against this mountain so you would run to the end of you. All our lives, we underestimate and under trust the God we have.
