We are in a battle — but not against flesh and blood. The enemy's mission is to divide, deceive, and destroy. But God's plan is restoration — mind, body, and spirit. That's why we need the full armor of God. This week in Ephesians 6, we talk about spiritual warfare, standing firm in faith, and the vision God has given us to bring hope and healing to people through the Hope Center initiative.

Raising Expectations with Pastor Joe Schofield, Dr. Paul Hall, Stefanie Thayer, Dr. Craig Thayer, Pastor Ron Greer Guest, Dr Sheila Schuller Coleman - Limitless Faith and the Possibility Thinking Friends, We are delighted to have Dr. Sheila Schuller Coleman as our guest to share her testimony and ministry! She is the first born child of Robert H. Schuller. As such, she had a front row seat to watching God move in her father's life. She served as assistant producer of the Hour of Power and also as his senior editor for more than 12 of his manuscripts, including “Tough Times Never Last but Tough People Do”, and “The Be Happy Attitudes”. In addition, Sheila has 16 years of experience in education. She combines a love for children with a deep devotion to the church. Sheila holds a Doctorate in Education from UCI and has authored several books, including “Unearthing the Lost Treasure: Wisdom”, which features an endorsement by Dr. Ben Carson. And her latest, “Claiming the Identity of Christ's Children. A Handbook for Families”. Today, she serves as the Founder and Lead Pastor of Hope Center of Christ in Orange, California. It is a house of prayer, the spiritual pentagon for the international prayer movement, Heart of a Warrior: Delivering the Children of the World for Christ. She actively partners with 15 ministries that are being an answer to the varied attacks on our children world-wide. This episode of Raising Expectations features an inspiring dialogue with Dr. Sheila Schuller Coleman, daughter of the legendary Dr. Robert H. Schuller. The conversation explores the miraculous journey of the Schuller ministry—from an obscure Iowa farm to a global television platform—emphasizing the transformative power of "limitless faith" and the resilience required to navigate life's "bumpy roads." The "Raising Expectations" Mission and Team The program, hosted by Pastor Joe Schofield and his wife Melba, serves as a platform for leaders of all backgrounds to address life's most pressing questions through the lens of faith. The "extended family" of co-hosts includes Dr. Paul Hall, a counselor and writer; Dr. Craig "Tank" Thayer, a trauma surgeon and author of Saved: Finding God in the Ordinary; and Pastor Ron Greer, who works with Man In The Mirror to mentor men. The team emphasizes that faith in Christ provides answers to life's two biggest questions: how to live with purpose and what happens after death. From Iowa Pastures to the Drive-In Church Dr. Sheila Schuller Coleman shares the humble origins of her father, who was raised on a "dead-end dirt road" in Iowa. Despite not being an athlete or having significant resources, he felt a divine calling at age five, famously practicing his sermons for the cows in the pasture. Upon moving to California to plant a church, he found no established congregation and adopted a missionary mindset, knocking on doors to ask neighbors what they needed. This led to the innovative "drive-in church" at a theater snack bar, where the motto was "Come as you are in the family car," allowing people who felt uncomfortable in traditional settings to hear the Gospel from their vehicles. The Theology of the Seed and Limitless Faith A core theme of the discussion is the "theology of the seed," based on Matthew 17:20. Sheila recounts her father's belief that while anyone can count the seeds in an apple, only God can count the apples in one seed. This perspective encourages believers to look past their "lack"—whether in health, resources, or education—and focus on a "limitless God." Sheila illustrates this faith through a childhood memory of her father taking her out into a terrifying Iowa thunderstorm to show her "God's power on display," teaching her that faith is a gift required for the tasks God assigns. Global Expansion and the "Hour of Power" The ministry's reach expanded exponentially following a suggestion from Billy Graham to put the church service on television. Graham even loaned his production team to help launch the Hour of Power. The program eventually broke historical barriers, becoming the first religious program broadcast in the communist USSR on Channel One Russia after a meeting between Dr. Schuller and Mikhail Gorbachev. This global impact was rooted in the elder Schuller's refusal to be deterred by critics; he famously stated that he didn't care what other pastors said about him because they were already saved—his focus remained entirely on the unsaved. Navigating Adversity and Maintaining Hope The dialogue concludes with profound advice on handling trials. Using the "potato" analogy, Sheila explains that just as big potatoes rise to the top of a wagon on a bumpy road, challenges forge character and tenacity in those who refuse to quit. She also shares her grandfather's wisdom: "Never cut a dead tree down in the wintertime." This serves as a metaphor for not making irreversible decisions during seasons of despair, as life often remains in the "stump" waiting for spring. The hosts and guest emphasize that hope is the last thing to lose, and God always has the "last word," which is ultimately good. The legacy of Dr. Robert H. Schuller, as recounted by his daughter, serves as a testament to the idea that no beginning is too small for a "limitless God." By embracing the "possibility thinking" that defined the Hour of Power, individuals can find the tenacity to grow through their trials rather than just go through them.

In Week 2 of our Advent series, Promised One, Pastor Dave Mudd explores the profound truth of Jesus as the final and perfect Prophet. While the prophets of old brought messages from God, Jesus came as the message of God—revealing the Father's heart in a way no one else could.This message dives deep into Hebrews 1 and Deuteronomy 18 to show that Jesus doesn't just give us information; He gives us revelation. By looking at Him, we not only discover who God is, but we also uncover the restored purpose for our own humanity. Join us as we learn what it means to build our identity on His truth and let His voice guide our every decision this Christmas season.Note: This video also includes an important "Family Update" on the future expansion of our church home and the Hope Center.Key Takeaways:- Jesus is the Final Word: Unlike previous prophets who spoke in fragments, Jesus is the complete and perfect expression of God's voice (Hebrews 1:1-2).- Revealing God's Heart: Jesus goes beyond delivering rules; He reveals God's character—compassion, forgiveness, and holiness—in human form.- Restoring Human Purpose: By revealing the Father, Jesus restores the original design of humanity: to know God, reflect His image, and partner in His mission.- Living the Mission: We are called to be more than hearers of the word; we are empowered by the Spirit to embody the message and live as witnesses in our community.- Vision for the Future: An exciting look at how our church family is expanding our facilities to "build bigger tables" for those seeking Jesus.Scripture References: Hebrews 1:1-2, Deuteronomy 18:15-19, John 1:18

C'est à un duel au grand jour que se livrent France Télévision et Radio France et les médias du milliardaire Vincent Bolloré, la chaîne CNews, Europe 1 et le Journal du Dimanche, qui s'accusent mutuellement de partialité. Ce matin, la Tribune Dimanche braque ses projecteurs sur l'audiovisuel public. « En pleine zone de turbulences, nous dit-on, les PDG de France Télévision et Radio France seront auditionnées à partir de mercredi par une commission d'enquête parlementaire, voulue par le groupe UDR, allié du Rassemblement National ». Cette commission est chargée de « faire toute la lumière sur d'éventuels dysfonctionnements au sein du service public ». La Tribune Dimanche publie un sondage dont elle conclut « qu'il révèle un attachement réel – transversal de gauche comme de droite – aux chaînes et stations publiques ». Mais, souligne le journal, « cet attachement n'efface pas les enjeux : un budget de près de 4 milliards d'euros, avec un déficit croissant pointé par la Cour des comptes, et des attentes fortes en matière de pluralisme, d'efficacité et de rigueur dans l'information ». Interrogé, le directeur de l'information de France Télévision Alexandre Kara, assure « qu'aucun programme n'est utilisé à des fins partisanes ». Précisions apportées après la diffusion d'une enquête de France 2, sur CNews. Enquête qui a fait couler beaucoup d'encre… « On traite tous les sujets, affirme Alexandre Kara, mais l'écho n'est pas le même ». Immigration et insécurité Le Nouvel Obs se penche lui sur le cas de CNews et de Pascal Praud, son présentateur vedette. « Pascal Praud, profession propagandiste », titre l'hebdomadaire qui détaille : « Omniprésent sur CNews, Europe 1 et le Journal du Dimanche, l'ancien journaliste sportif polarise le débat sur l'immigration et l'insécurité, jusqu'à devenir un porte-parole de l'extrême droite. Comment en est-il arrivé là ? Par conviction ou pour plaire à son patron Vincent Bolloré ? » interroge le Nouvel Obs, qui en veut pour preuve « l'accueil de VIP », réservé au président du Rassemblement National Jordan Bardella, à l'occasion de la sortie de son livre « Ce que veulent les Français ». « Vingt-six minutes, sur CNews, durant lesquelles Jordan Bardella n'est presque jamais interrompu, tandis que la couverture de son livre occupe la moitié de l'écran ». « Une interview promotionnelle en bonne et due forme », accuse le Nouvel Obs, qui ajoute : « L'accueil réservé à Bardella sert la stratégie arrêtée au sommet du groupe par Bolloré lui-même. À dix-huit mois de la présidentielle, le propriétaire de CNews, Europe 1, Le JDD ou encore du groupe Hachette s'affaire à réaliser l'union des droites, en réalité la fusion entre la droite et l'extrême droite. Seule capable à ses yeux de réagir, pendant qu'il est encore temps, au péril civilisationnel que feraient courir à la France, l'immigration, l'islam et la gauche ». Hommage douloureux M, le supplément du Monde, a assisté aux funérailles de l'un des derniers otages du Hamas. « Be'eri a fini d'enterrer ses morts », nous dit M. « Situé à 5 kilomètres de Gaza, le village a payé le plus lourd tribut humain des attaques du 7 octobre 2023, avec 102 victimes. Le 30 novembre, les funérailles de Dror Or, ont réuni plusieurs milliers de personnes ». « Dror Or, poursuit le magazine, faisait partie des trois derniers otages défunts, encore retenus dans la bande de Gaza ». Cet homme de 48 ans avait été tué le 7 octobre 2023, et son corps avait « été emmené dans l'enclave palestinienne ». M a interrogé Sharon Shmuel, amie d'enfance du défunt. Elle explique : « Dror est le dernier de sa communauté à revenir sur sa terre, quelque chose se clôture enfin aujourd'hui ». Sont venus ce jour-là, « des proches, des familles de victimes du massacre, d'anciens otages libérés (…) des bénévoles d'associations, des anonymes, qui affluent et forment peu à peu un cercle de silence autour de la tombe de l'otage défunt », raconte M. « Sa mère et ses trois enfants désormais orphelins, son frère et ses plus proches amis clament "l'incompréhension et la douleur de la perte"(…) le drame des uns réveille celui des autres, et ravive la conscience qu'une tragédie collective s'est produite ici, il y a deux ans et deux mois ». Une drogue bon marché Le Nouvel Obs s'intéresse aux ravages du captagon, en Syrie. « Le trafic de cette drogue de la famille des amphétamines déployé par l'ancien régime de Damas a plongé de nombreux syriens dans la dépendance », explique l'hebdomadaire, qui a visité « à Afrin, près de la frontière turque, un centre de réhabilitation, appelé le Hope Center ». Là-bas, Le Nouvel Obs a rencontré Ali. Le jeune homme de 21 ans, consomme du captagon, et explique sa situation : « J'ai détruit ma vie et fait souffrir mes proches. Je dois 7 000 dollars à ma famille. Les dealers venaient chez moi réclamer leur dû : soit je payais, soit ils me tuaient ». Ali est loin d'être le seul, qui aujourd'hui encore consomme cette drogue « bon marché ». Le Nouvel Obs cite « les anciens soldats, les étudiants, les combattants de tous bords (...) qui faute d'échappatoire, prennent des pilules pour refouler leur trauma ».

Some holidays feel bright on the outside and heavy on the inside. We sit down with Liz Gaught from the Center for Children and Families to show what hope looks like when it's built on everyday actions: a single recorded interview that spares a child from retelling trauma, a counselor stepping into a living room to spot strengths and needs, a wish list that becomes new clothes and a toy to open on Christmas morning.Starting with CASA and growing across 48 parishes in Louisiana and seven counties in Mississippi, the Center pairs advocacy, education, and prevention with direct services that meet families where they are. Liz walks us through the Children's Advocacy Center approach, why prevention trainings matter, and how the new Hope Center in West Monroe adds counseling and medication management for kids who need both therapy and clinical care. The thread running through it all is trust: families see the same team before and after the holidays, and donors know gifts reach specific children already in services.We also talk about the Christmas Project—how it began with 50 soccer balls and now mobilizes businesses, churches, and neighbors to adopt wish lists, host collection sites, and fund essentials you won't find under a tree. One powerful example: a partner donation purchased six mattresses for siblings who had been sleeping on air beds and the floor. That's what local support can do when relationships are in place and needs are verified.Behind these programs is a culture that protects the protectors. Liz shares how leadership builds a workplace where heavy stories meet real recovery—puzzles on the table, shared meals, short walks, and benefits that help teams stay grounded. We close with a reminder that the tunnel isn't the end; there is light, and community keeps it burning. If you're ready to help or need help, visit standforhope.org.
