We have a daily invitation to follow Jesus. Some days that’s easy. Other days not so much. Our stage of life, and certainly the circumstances of our life factor into our comfort level with being all in with Jesus. So in these uncertain times, how is your journey with Jesus going? We’re so delighted […] Source: https://atoday.org/anticipating-at1-february-19-2021/

President’s Report | February 2021
Bob was an intrepid mountain logger, fearless and daring—a real man’s man. He had no use for religion or the things of God, so when his boss asked him an innocuous question, he was surprised by what happened next. Now, Bob’s boss wasn’t a religious man either, so when he asked Bob to explain the Bible text where Jesus asks, “Who do you say that I am?” it bothered Bob that he should have to explain something he knew nothing about. Yet all throughout the day, he found himself mulling over the question. After work, on his way home, he accidentally ran over a chicken. On any other day, Bob wouldn’t have cared. He would’ve simply thrown the animal in the bed of his pickup and had the bird for dinner! But instead, he stopped the truck and went in search of the owner to pay for the chicken. What was happening to him? He couldn’t understand it. Watch the video below to learn the rest of the story. God is working in people’s lives all around the world. His influence is more powerful than we often realize—stronger than any evil the devil may throw our way. That’s the message we must share, and that’s what AWR is all about! We are all called to answer the question, “Who do you say that I am?” May our answer be, “You are the Son of God who died for my sins.” —Duane McKey MB01LQOMIVDALRP Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWxDX90F7hk
