Here’s the latest from the crossroads of faith, media & culture: 08\/01\/25<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Three authors I’ve interviewed before – Anthony DeStefano<\/a>, Dr. Michael Guill\u00e9n <\/a>and Peter Berk<\/a>\u00a0 –\u00a0are making news on the book front.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trust God.<\/strong> Whether it\u2019s a medical crisis, a financial disaster or being overwhelmed emotionally, many of us know what it’s like to be in that moment of desperately needing God<\/strong> to reach out help us in a special way. Bestselling Christian author Anthony DeStefano<\/strong><\/a> offers his insights on asking for divine help in The Miracle Book<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Personally, I believe in the power of prayer and have seen it work in my own life. My simple advice is trust God, hold onto faith, be bold and pray with positive expectation. He will not let you down. Turn toward Him and away from doubt, guilt and fear. Don’t look back. Don’t overthink. He wants you to be well and accomplish positive goals. He will bring you through tough times. He will make your crooked path straight<\/a>. However you pray, believe that God is good and on your side. Here are three biblical passages I find helpful.<\/p>\n

Mark 11:24
\nTherefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Luke 1:37
\nFor nothing will be impossible with God.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Psalm 27:14
\nWait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD.

Dr. Michael Guill\u00e9n’s Believing is Seeing<\/em><\/a> is a worldwide bestseller.<\/strong> An Emmy<\/strong>-winning journalist, bestselling author and host of the More Than Meets the IQ<\/em><\/strong><\/a> podcast on the positive chemistry between faith and science (yes, they support each other) has received the positive news that his book Believing is Seeing<\/em><\/strong> has hit #1 on Amazon’s Science and Religion list<\/strong><\/a>. And as Dr. Guillen talks about here<\/a>, a movie is in the works.<\/p>\n
