I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Jason DeZurik, the Worldview Warriors ministry team, and you the audience members who support this ministry.
My husband Chuck and I have moved to Nashville, TN, and we have entered into a new season in our lives. He is retired and now we have time to travel, go boating, and spend more time enjoying family and friends.
In this new season, I have less time to commit to writing Worldview Warriors blog posts and Faith Talk segments, so this is a farewell blog post.
I would like to thank each and every one of you who have liked, commented, or shared my posts. I appreciate your support and encouragement and I am confident that Jason and the Worldview Warriors writers will continue to challenge and encourage you.
This has been a wonderful experience for me that has challenged me personally and grown my faith walk. My hope and prayer is that it has been an encouragement to you. Thank you for joining me in this journey of faith.
God Bless,
Ami

I very vividly remember a day when my oldest son Brandon was in seventh grade. We were returning to school after an appointment, and as we were walking in, he noticed the secretary approaching the door with her hands full, and he ran ahead and opened the door for her. After I signed him back in and was walking out of the building, he turned as he was going around the corner and said, “Bye, Mom!”
I went out to my car and began to cry. I cried because in that very moment I saw my little boy slipping away and glimpses of the man he would become.
I went home and wrote him a letter telling him how proud we were of him, of his character, and of who God created him to be. I cited situations where he had shown grace and compassion, and ultimately I reminded him of who he is in Christ.
When my youngest son Nicholas turned 13, I wrote him a similar letter. We have kept these letters, as they are dear to us.
You may be wondering why I’m sharing this with you. I have a very important reason.
Ladies and gentleman, if we don’t tell our children who they are in Christ, make no mistake: the world will try and tell them who they are.
I like to say we are all uniquely handcrafted by God, but I have found that the world is more fond of molding and shaping us to look like them or however they think we should look. How many times have we heard our children say “They said I’m…” stupid, ugly, fat, too tall, too short, not cool; you fill in the blank. As parents, it is crucial that we remind our children that of these truths:
- “For you created my inmost being; you knit me in my mother’s womb… I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” (Psalm 139:13-14)
- “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” (Jeremiah 1:5)
- “Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” (1 Corinthians 12:27)
We need to tell our children that they are a child of God, and they are uniquely handcrafted by God. Be sure to tell your children who they are in Christ, because make NO mistake that the world will tell them who they want them to be.

This message isn’t an easy one, and you might say it cuts right to the core of the matter.
I was reading in Genesis 3 about the introduction of sin into our world. Adam and Eve had been instructed that they could eat from any tree in the garden except from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
This chapter tells how the serpent tempted Eve into eating from the tree. It goes on to say that Eve ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and that she gave some to Adam. They immediately realized they were naked and made coverings for themselves, and hid from God.
Isn’t that how we find ourselves so easily ensnared in sin?
“It’s just one drink.”
“It’s just one time.”
“It’s just one look.”
Casting Crowns has a song called “Slow Fade,” and part of the lyrics go like this:
It’s a slow fade when you give yourself away
When black and white turns to gray
And thoughts invade
Choices are made
A price will be paid when you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
It’s a slow fade
Sin is a slippery slope. We may think we can handle it, that we have sure footing, and then one slip and we have fallen deeper than we ever could have imagined
Sin separates us from God, but there is HOPE! God provided a way out for us through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for our sin, if we repent of that sin.
Repenting isn’t merely saying, “I’m sorry.” True repentance is turning away from our sin, closing the door on it, walking away from it, and turning toward God.
I know this is a heavy topic. I share it because many people are suffering in silence, swallowed up by sin that is destroying them from the inside out. It’s not just that they can’t admit it to others; the first step is admitting our sin to ourselves and repenting.
If these words have spoken to you today, reach out and get help! Instead of living in a life swallowed up in darkness, you can live again, being free from the sin that binds you.

Sometimes when studying Scripture, something really stands out. I would like to share some of what I learned when recently studying Psalm 37.
It starts out saying “Do not fret.” We see this phrase repeated 3 times in the first 8 verses of Psalm 37.
Verse 1 says, “Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong.”
Verse 7 says, “Do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when the carry out their wicked schemes.”
Verse 8 says, “Do not fret it only leads to evil.”
I looked up the definition of the word fret. It means to cause to suffer emotional strain or to become worried. So, it is saying, “Do not suffer emotional strain, become worried, or envious when you see others getting ahead in their wrong doing or unfair ways, because this leads to evil.”
Verse 9 goes on to say, “For evil men will be cut off but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.”
It is clear what we aren’t supposed to do (do not fret), but what does Psalm 37 say we are supposed to do?
Let’s go back to verses 3-5: “Trust in the Lord and do good. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord trust in him and he will make your righteousness shine like the dawn.”
Verses 7-8 encourage us to “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him… Refrain from anger & turn from wrath.”
Let’s break it down like this:
Do not fret because of evil men.
Trust in the Lord.
Delight yourself in the Lord.
Commit your ways to the Lord.
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him.
Do not fret when men succeed in their own ways.
Refrain from anger.
Do not fret because it only leads to evil.
We live in a broken world where we see people who lie, cheat, and manipulate to get ahead all the time. This can be discouraging and frustrating, but together let’s take Psalm 37 and apply it to our lives and continue to do good, trusting in the Lord, waiting patiently for Him and do not fret!

Several years ago, I was preparing a presentation for a speaking engagement and I was letting the “What if”s get the best of me.
What if I can’t finish my outline? What if I mess up? What if my presentation isn’t good enough?
I went to my ladies Bible study and shared what I was experiencing. The leader of our group asked me a question that caught me off guard. She asked me, “What do you think about someone who is prideful?”
I thought for a moment and I replied, “When we are prideful, we aren’t glorifying God, but self.”
To which she said, “Really? Because I am getting a sense of false humility or self-doubt from you. False humility means to have a self-defeating mindset and poor self-image, evaluating oneself too harshly. This way of thinking is as at out of balance as pride.”
This got my attention because my first thought was, “No, it’s not.”
But as she finished I saw she was right. She said, “That pride and self-doubt are both focused on SELF not GOD.”
Wow! That is true. We tend to think of pride as self-centered and self-promoting, and we try to disguise self-doubt as humility.
Pride says, “I can do this myself, I don’t need God’s help!”
Self-doubt says, “I can’t do this, I’m not good enough, and God can’t use me!”
Our focus should always be on God, not ourselves, what he is calling us to do, and who he is calling us to reach.
The next time we find the “What if”s creeping in or a sense of self-doub,t we need to redirect our thoughts to God and what he is calling us to do, taking our attention off of our self and place it on God. Stop allowing this negative thinking to imprison us from the life God is calling us to.

Most of us are familiar with the famous hymn Amazing Grace: “Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.” Or you may know the version by Phil Wickham “This Is Amazing Grace.”
The definition of the word grace is the free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings. It’s an unmerited favor, a gift we don’t deserve, and a free unearned gift.
Grace is showing love when others would show hate or anger, even if someone deserves a tongue lashing or our anger. Grace is showing them love. Grace is showing kindness when others are rude, gentleness when others are harsh, compassion when others are hurting, and generosity when others are greedy.
You may remember the WWJD bracelets that were popular a few years back. What a great reminder throughout our day to stop and think “What Would Jesus Do?”
Would he extend love or hate? Kindness or be rude? Compassion or ugliness? Generosity or greed?
When Jesus died, He died the death he didn’t deserve for sinners who didn’t deserve the gift of salvation. He extended the ultimate gift of grace. The amazing thing about grace is that it is showing undeserved and unearned love to others.
Join me as we strive to walk like Jesus, remember how Jesus showed us grace, and give the gift of grace to others.

Have you ever tried to start a fire by hand? I haven’t, but I have watched members of Survivor do this for several seasons.
Starting a fire by hand takes a great deal of effort. There is a lot of work that goes into trying to ignite a spark, but the work doesn’t end there. Once there is a spark, you have to carefully blow on the fire while cautiously adding kindling. If you blow too hard, you will put out the flame. Likewise, if you add too much kindling too soon, it can snuff out the fire.
My husband Chuck was in a transferable position with his job, which means that with different job opportunities we often had to move to different locations. We have lived in 5 different states. Every time we moved, it seemed to take some time to reignite my flame. It seems I would be just starting to find my groove in a new community, church, ministry, and then we move again.
I have begun to realize that the primary reason I have a hard time reigniting my flame is because I spend so much time looking back at what I had, that I don’t start living where I am. This type of thinking can be destructive when it goes unrecognized.
My focus on my past life does nothing to help me move forward where I am. I had stopped living in the moment and was living in the past. This is not the plan God intended for our lives.
Hebrews 12:1 says, “Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” Imagine a runner who races toward a finish line, but he keeps looking back over his shoulder for his opponent. That would certainly hinder his race.
Maybe for you it is a certain time in your life, a job or career, a place where you lived, a person you miss, or a past hurt that you cling too. Some people never find freedom from their past. Don’t let that be you!
I will end with a quote from Jim Elliot: “Wherever you are, be all there!”

In the song “Does Anybody Hear Her” by Casting Crowns, these lyrics really spoke to me:
“Does anybody hear her
Does anybody see,
Oh does anybody even know she’s going down today.
Under the shadow of our steeple a lot of lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that’s tucked away in you and me.
Does anybody hear her
Does anybody see.”
I started to think: Does anybody see her? Wasting away, withdrawing from the world, cutting herself, eating herself to death.
I was at a loss for what I could do, but I am beginning to realize I don’t have to have all the answers. My job is to point them to Jesus and God’s Word, and to love and care about them. I can let them know they matter and that God loves them.
I can’t heal them, but God can. I can’t help them completely, but God can.
We live in a fast-paced, perfection-driven society that no one can keep up with. If it’s not houses and cars, it’s clothes and body image, or maybe it’s promotion and success, or sports and school. We are bombarded with images that push us to be perfect and to be #1.
We are so worn out, and we are killing ourselves for the next job, house, social activity, or perfect body that we are missing true relationships in our lives. True peace and healing comes from the most important relationship in our lives, a personal relationship with Jesus.
So the next time you see “her” and you don’t know what to do or say to help her, point her to Jesus.

Are there certain foods that you crave? Do you crave pizza, ice cream, donuts, potato chips, cake, French fries, cookies, or pie? Maybe for you it is a nice juicy steak or a certain type of sandwich. Wouldn’t it be nice if we craved broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, or kale – something that was good for us? Some of you have heard me share my love for Krispy Kreme donuts, and how I struggle because my cravings for them are strong!
In 1 Peter 2:2-3 it says, “Therefore, rid yourselves of malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies crave spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, no that you have tasted that the Lord is good.”
There is that word “crave.” Crave spiritual milk. Crave spiritual teaching, knowledge, and wisdom, so that we may mature in our relationship with Christ.
Now think back to our food cravings. Crave spiritual growth, knowledge, and maturity like we crave donuts, pizza, French fries, and pie. That is a strong desire and craving!
Once we start to study and grow in the word of God and strengthen our faith walk, we will desire and crave the spiritual teachings of God, now that you have tasted and seen that the Lord is good.
Together, let’s dive into the Word of God like we were diving into a scrumptious piece of cake – and crave spiritual maturity like we crave our favorite treat!

What is the condition of your heart? I fear we are often afraid to let God in. We guard our hearts and aren’t pliable like soil that is ready to be molded into Christlikeness.
Are we hard and unapproachable? Are we easily offended? Are we accepting of new people? Are we open to new situations? Or do we feel dried up, been there done that, or bored with our faith and burned out.
Are we willing to let God work over somethings in our lives? Are we willing to let Him weed out the things that pull our attention away from Him?
Good fertile soil needs to be turned over, and weeded so that it is ready to receive the seed to be planted. Are you ready to truly give your heart to God? Are you ready to allow Him to turn over and weed out things, and maybe even people, who are preventing us from growing closer to God?
This is an ongoing process that is never ending if we want to continue to grow in our faith. I think people sometimes think that this transformation takes place all at once; I know I thought that at one time. But it is a day by day, month by month, year by year process. It is daily abiding in a relationship with God through all seasons of life, not just loving Him and serving Him when life is good. It is like the beauty of spring, but also enduring the trying times in our lives when it feels like a long, cold, dormant winter.
Let’s take some time today to examine our hearts and ask ourselves the tough questions about where we are in our faith walk, and how the condition or our hearts is reflected in our day to day lives. Are our hearts pliable and are we willing to allow God to mold us and shape us to be more like Jesus?
I know I am asking some difficult questions and this can be challenging, but I know you can do it with the Holy Spirit’s power. I know that God has great plans for each of our lives, but we have to be willing to let Him work us over from time to time to get there and be fertile soil.

Have you ever felt like everything you touched crumbled in your hands, like everything you plant dies at the root? I have heard it said, “Bloom where you are planted.” But what if everything you plant doesn’t take root, and doesn’t grow?
My family and I experienced a season like this and it was miserable and confusing. But God has a purpose and a plan for everything we go through, even our pain. It seemed the harder we tried, the harder we fell. That experience changed us. I’m still looking and finding ways in which it changed us for the good.
My head understands the scripture of James 1:2-3, “Consider it pure joy my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.” But during this season, my heart didn’t understand.
However, I did pour over these scriptures:
“Trust in the Lord with all of your heart. Lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and he will make your path straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)
“Be strong and courageous. God not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you or forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6)
It was these truths that guided me through that challenging time. If you feel like you are in a difficult season, my encouragement is to cling to the truth of the Bible, reach out to fellow believers for prayer, and take one day at a time. Remember that this is a season, and seasons don’t last forever.

What is your forbidden fruit? What is the one thing that you think will fill that empty place inside? Is it food, excessive shopping, alcohol, being a workaholic, drugs? What is your temporary fix?
I have to say food is my weakness. When I am stressed, tired, or sad, I like donuts. You may have heard me share my Krispy Kreme donut story about temptation and how I was tempted several times by fresh donuts before I left the grocery store one evening. That night, I was able to leave the store without the fresh donuts, but believe me I wanted one! Well, maybe two.
In Genesis 3, the serpent was tempting Eve with the fruit from the only tree in the garden that God had told them not to eat from or even touch. He encouraged her and assured her that what God said wasn’t true. So she and Adam ate the fruit, but instead of being more fulfilled, they were ashamed and hiding from God.
Isn’t that how we feel when we give into temptation? We want to hide our sin from others and hide the evidence; we feel ashamed and guilty.
What lie is the enemy telling you?
If you just had that donut…
If you just had one more drink…
If you just had that new thing…
If you just watch a little bit…
Then you will feel better, right? Maybe for a brief moment, but then the shame, guilt, and remorse sets in.
What is your forbidden fruit? What is the enemy using to pull you away from God?
Together, let’s examine our lives and ask ourselves what is our forbidden fruit. Recognize the lies the enemy is feeding us.

I wanted to share with you a prayer that I pray often:
Empty me of me
Fill me up with you, Lord
Full to overflowing
So that ALL that I say and ALL that I do
Glorifies you!
On several occasions, I have taken the time to break it down like this:
Empty me of my sin, anger, doubt, pride, worry, insecurities, fear
Fill me up with you, God: your wisdom, love, forgiveness, grace, joy, and hope
Full to overflowing with you
So that all that I say, write, and do brings glory to you!
I would like to encourage you to write out this prayer and take time to quietly evaluate each phrase and apply it to your life.
Lord,
Empty me of me
Fill me up with you full to overflowing
So that all that I say and all that I do
Glorifies you!
Join me as we empty ourselves of our wants, our needs, and our desires, and place our focus on God and being filled with him daily, full to overflowing.

Are you choosing to believe the lies? You are no good! No one likes you! Christian people don’t care! You are a horrible person! Whatever lies Satan tells you, don’t listen; there is hope in Jesus! Read the Word of God and discover the truth to combat the lies of the enemy.
To fight a battle or a war you, must identify who your enemy is. Don’t pretend that he doesn’t exist. If we don’t acknowledge that Satan exists, then we are already defeated.
Many times in my life I have blamed other people, or shamed myself to the point where I didn’t like myself or anyone else for that matter. Isn’t that exactly where the Devil wanted me? I was becoming distant from God; after all, God had allowed these things to happen in my life, hadn’t he? This was another way in which the enemy had twisted words in my mind.
At this point in my life, I hadn’t given much thought to spiritual warfare and that made me vulnerable to the enemy’s plans. I wasn’t acknowledging my enemy, therefore I didn’t know how to protect myself from his attacks.
1 Peter 5:8-9 says, “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around you like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in faith.” It is important that we read the word of God, and that we spend time studying and understanding the scriptures so that when the enemy attacks us we can combat the lies with the truth found in the Bible.
Philippians 4:8 is a wonderful passage to use to defeat the lies of the enemy. “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things.” Whenever I start to believe the lies I ask myself these questions. Is it true? Is it noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy? If it isn’t then I stop focusing on the lie and focus on the Word of God.
Lie: You are no good. Truth: I am a child of the one true King!
Lie: No one likes you. Truth: Jesus is my friend.
Lie: You are a horrible person. Truth: I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Do not allow the enemy to keep you in a defeated mindset. Keep the Word of God at the forefront of your mind and remember who you are in Christ.

Genesis 3:1 says, “The serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord had made. He said to Eve, ‘Did the Lord really say you must not eat from any tree in the garden?’”
Eve basically says, “We can eat from any tree but, if we eat from the tree in the middle of the garden we will die.”
The serpent then says, “You will not surely die!”
It goes on to say that Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and that she gave some to Adam, WHO WAS WITH HER. I need to stop here for a second. I know that Eve needs to take responsibility for her actions in listening to the lies of the serpent, but hold on here. ADAM WAS WITH HER.
He knew as well as she did that they were not allowed to eat from that tree. As a matter of fact, God had told Adam himself! I guess I always thought that Adam was off working in the garden or tending animals and Eve brought him a snack. But he was with her. He knew what he was doing when he ate the fruit and where it came from as well as the consequences.
When God asked Adam if he had eaten from the tree that He had commanded him not to eat from, Adam said, “The woman you put here with me – she gave me some fruit from the tree and I ate it.”
Then the Lord said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
And Eve said, “The serpent deceived me and I ate.”
This is where the blame game originated! Adam begins with “Well, Lord, the woman YOU gave me, she gave me the fruit and I ate it.” And Eve, she says, “Well, the serpent, he deceived me.” Isn’t it our human nature to blame others when we are confronted with our own mistakes or sin? We try and deflect the attention away from us onto someone else.
Let’s examine our lives, take responsibility for our own actions and stop playing the blame game!

Ministry is not a competition. It is the Great Commission.
The Great Commission, that we received from Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20, is this “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
There have been times in my life when I have observed other people receiving opportunities to serve God, opportunities that I wanted. I would find myself saying things like, “I could do that, I would’ve liked that opportunity, I am just as qualified to do that job, why didn’t they ask me?” This kind of thinking left me frustrated and jealous.
God has been laying this message on my heart lately: it’s going to take all of us, using all our talents and gifts, to reach the hurting world around us with the message of Jesus.
When we see others get breaks that we would have liked to have, let’s look at it as the perfect opportunity for them, because it best fits their talents and gifts. I also try and remember that if God wanted me to have that opportunity, I would have had it.
There are going to be people that I reach because of my personality and gifts, but some people may be receptive to my teaching and some people might not. Likewise, you can reach people that I can’t.
We each need to seek God’s guidance for our own lives. Remember that we are all on God’s team, and we all have been given the Great Commission.

Recently my son asked me, “Mom, why isn’t God answering my prayers?” As I thought about how to answer him, I started to think about my own life and then I looked to Scripture. In John 15:7 it says, “If you remain in me and my word remains in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given to you. This is to my Fathers glory that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”
The King James Version of this Bible verse uses the phrase, “Abide in me.” Abide means to remain, continue, stay, continue in relationship, endure, or wait.
When I personally ask myself why God isn’t answering my prayers, I consider if I am abiding in a relationship with Jesus. Am I spending time with him in Bible study and prayer? Or am I in a place where I pray only when I need something?
Have you ever had a friend who only calls you when they need something from you? How did that make you feel? How close did you feel to that person? In a mutual relationship, each person gives of themselves to maintain a good relationship. It is our part of the relationship to seek God and spend time with him.
There are many reasons why God might not answer our prayers. Unconfessed sin separates us from God, we may be asking for something that doesn’t bring God glory, or God may be answering, “Not now.”
I am convinced that if we take the time to spend in a daily relationship with the Lord, he will reveal his answers to us through his Word. I encourage you to make that a habit this week.

I can remember the exact moment God planted the desire in my heart to serve him in a speaking ministry.
I was at a fall ladies’ banquet in Robinson, IL. The speaker was author Julie Ann Barnhill. Julie was sharing that as a child, she loved to talk. She was the student that the teachers were always asking to be quiet. She shared how God had taken what she considered a negative attribute and turned it into a ministry.
That night I realized that God had a plan for my life as a communicator. The funny thing was, at that time I could barely pray out loud in front of people.
Not long after that banquet, on a Sunday morning during the church service, I remember praying “Here I am God, send me.” When I prayed that prayer, I had no idea what my journey would look like or where it would take me, but nonetheless I prayed the prayer with a sincere heart.
What I later realized was that when I prayed that prayer I was aligning myself with God’s will for my life, instead of expecting him to line things up how I wanted them to be.
God has provided many opportunities for me to serve him over the years. I have seen Ephesians 3:20 at work in my life: “God can do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” God has already done more than I could ask or imagine in my life and his word says he has MORE!
Take some time to reflect on what God is doing in your life. How has he grown you as a person, and in your faith? Pray Ephesians 3:20 over your life and make this year a MORE year!
