Co-hosts Kerri Brinkoeter, Cathy Endebrock, and Marlene McMichael review the many times Scripture references the importance and spiritual significance of shared meals. The practice of "breaking of bread together" fosters unity and can be transformative for those around the table. Family sit-down meals (not grab-n-go) are associated with lower rates of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, eating disorders, and teenage pregnancy -- as well as with higher rates of resilience and self-esteem. Find out why it is important to "Make Meals Matter Again."

Prayer is perhaps the most important tool available to a Christian, but what is prayer and how do you pray? In Matthew 6:5–15, Jesus outlines effective prayer for us in the Lord's Prayer. He shows us that, through prayer, we are to approach a loving Father eager to meet our needs -- not an angry, fearsome God. Join the Ladies of LoveTalk -- Marlene McMichael, Cathy Endebrock, and Kerri Brinkoeter -- for this inspiring program. Learn how prayer aligns our hearts with God's purposes and reflects a life shaped by grace, dependence, and forgiveness.

Co-hosts Cathy Endebrock, Kerri Brinkoeter, and Marlene McMichael discuss key points of the message Dr. Robert Jeffress presented at the Governor's Prayer Breakfast at Kalahari Resort in April.

We have a savings plan for college tuition and/or for retirement in order to have the necessary resources when needed. In much the same way, we must have a deliberate plan to do God's work. He calls us to be both salt (flavoring the fallen world with His Spirit) AND light (shining His light in the darkness). Join the Ladies of LoveTalk Network as they discuss how to Stay Salty and Shine Bright.
