<p>Nate Bargatze explained why he keeps his stand-up comedy act clean. The biggest name in the world of stand-up comedy doesn’t pepper his act with four-letter words and doesn’t even sprinkle in any innuendo like many comedians, and he does so for very specific reasons. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear why Nate has chosen to do clean, family-friendly comedy.</p>

<p>When it comes to comedy, there is literally something for every taste and sense of humor. That makes complete and total sense, right? What makes one guy laugh deliriously will more than likely not be the same thing that causes the next guy to double over in laughter. So, why not change things up and present topics and subjects in a different way for different people?</p>

<p>While comedy is most certainly diverse, I’m sure that if you’ve spent any time watching stand-up routines or comedic films, you’ve noticed that foul, four-letter words typically get a lot of use. Not only is that language often offensive, but the topics and subject matter can get a little crass and objectionable at times. A lot of stand-up comedy is not family-friendly, that is for sure.</p>

<p>However, Nate is different from your average, run-of-the-mill stand-up comedian. He doesn’t swear or bring up rude or offensive subject matter. His act is something that the entire family can enjoy together. In <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKROstfwF7U">a clip posted on YouTube</a>, the comedic superstar explained why he has chosen to go this route with his routine and career.</p>

<p>“You know, it’s just how I grew up,” he said. “And, you know, I never, you know, growing up here in Nashville, a Christian family, my parents would’ve killed me. I wasn’t allowed to watch a lot of stuff, and so, that was even a big inspiration for even making this movie (“The Breadwinner”). It’s like, this is a movie that I know, like, growing up, I was 12 years old, we would’ve been very excited to go see this movie.”</p>

<p><em><strong><a href="https://www.godtube.com/bible/philippians/4-8">Philippians 4:8</a></strong> “Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”</em></p>

Meet Lady Wisdom.

In this video, we explore the personification of Lady Wisdom as seen in the Book of Proverbs. Rather than viewing wisdom as a distant or dusty concept, we see her as a vibrant, guiding presence—a divine invitation to live life with purpose and clarity. This portrayal helps us understand that God’s truth isn’t just a list of rules, but a living voice calling us into a deeper relationship with Him through the way we navigate the world. As Sister Sofia explains, Lady Wisdom is remarkably active in our everyday lives. She isn’t hiding away in a sanctuary; she is out in the high places and the busy streets where life happens. Whether it's in the world of business, the halls of government, or a simple walk through our own neighborhoods, wisdom is constantly offering us the insight we need to act with integrity and grace in every situation. The message here is one of accessibility and hope. Wisdom is calling out to all of us, reminding us that sound judgment and a peaceful heart are not reserved for a select few. By tuning our hearts to her voice, we can find the word and grace necessary to transform our daily routines into a path of spiritual growth. It is a powerful reminder that God provides the tools we need to flourish right where we are. This video is part of the ongoing Wisdom Series by Pastor Caleb.

A Bouquet, a Best Friend, and the Perfect Surprise

At my daughter’s wedding, she skipped the bouquet toss to give her sweet friend the moment of a lifetime.

No Toss Needed. This Surprise Was Even Better

At my daughter’s wedding, she skipped the bouquet toss to give her sweet friend the moment of a lifetime.

<p>A soldier and a woman shared a hug, and the reason why will bring you to tears. Their warm and loving embrace happened between two people who did not know one another. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see the touching and powerful moment.</p>

<p>The world is often a sad, lonely and frightening place. People have the surprising ability to inflict incredible amounts of needless pain and suffering upon one another. The evidence for this can be seen all around us – on social media, in the workplace, in the news, in our neighborhoods, and, sadly, at times, even in our own homes.</p>

<p>There is too much hatred and division in this world, and entirely too little kindness, empathy and compassion. How difficult is it to be kind to someone? It usually doesn’t take much time, and the monetary cost is typically nonexistent. Who knows, a simple, what we might call meaningless, act of kindness, could be the thing that changes and brightens someone’s day, week or life. We never know the difference our actions will make until we try.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@_sophiarobinson_/video/7600971563097132318">A clip posted on social media</a> captures the aftermath immediately following an Army graduation ceremony. The video’s description states that the soldiers have just graduated from basic training and are celebrating their accomplishment with their family and friends.</p>

<p>However, the clip begins with a woman and a soldier hugging. The woman, a mother-in-law, spotted a soldier who had no family or friends in attendance to witness his graduation. So, she stepped up and offered the young man a hug, and it’s clear that he greatly appreciated her kind and loving gesture.</p>

<p>The woman saw a need and acted without hesitation. She showed kindness and compassion for a young man, who almost certainly greatly appreciated it.</p>

<p>Kindness does not have to involve big, grand gestures. Often, little ones will suffice, and they are usually the most meaningful and appreciated.</p>

<p><em><strong><a href="https://www.godtube.com/bible/ephesians/4-32">Ephesians 4:32</a></strong> “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”</em></p>

<p>Many customers who frequent a Publix location are more than happy to wait in this specific line. The reason they do not mind waiting will bring a tear or two to your eye. Watch this short but powerful clip to hear what makes one checkout line at a Publix in Georgia so special.</p>

<p>Grocery shopping is one of the worst things humans must do with regularity. Shopping is already a horrible activity, but when it involves entering, looking for and purchasing items at a grocery store, it gets considerably worse. There is no such thing as a quick trip to the grocery store.</p>

<p>People, when they walk through those doors, seem to magically forget that others exist. And you know exactly what I am talking about. It never fails that someone will be standing right in front of whatever you need, carefully and thoroughly examining bottles of ketchup as if they’ve never seen the popular condiment before.</p>

<p>However, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we7rw9Rh7rU">at a Publix in Acworth, Georgia</a>, there doesn’t seem to be any of that typical stress and anxiety. Instead, customers will willingly wait 30-40 minutes in a specific checkout line. And why do the customers do this? It’s so they can interact with Michael Masterangelo.<br />
Michael, who has an intellectual disability, loves and cheers on all of the customers who come through his line.</p>

<p>“I’m just so happy to be here every day to work,” Michael said.</p>

<p>And his unbridled happiness and joy are infectious, rubbing off on customers and co-workers alike. Michael’s mother says her son is a people person who is always happy and upbeat.</p>

<p>One customer said that whenever she comes into the store, she immediately looks to see if <br />
Michael is working. She added that if he is, “it just changes everything.”</p>

<p>Michael doesn’t just brighten the lives of customers and his co-workers; his efforts and tremendous attitude are having a far-reaching impact.</p>

<p>Michael raised more than $31,000 in donations at his register for the Special Olympics.<br />
“He raised more alone than certain districts in our region,” one Publix employee said.</p>

<p>What a wonderful young man. It’s clear that he was working at your local grocery store, grocery shopping would be a lot less terrible.</p>

Biblical Marriage Advice for Hard Seasons with Dana Che

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today! Does a marriage fall apart in a single moment of crisis, or does it slowly wear thin in the "long middle"? This week, Dana Che, host of the Rebuilding Us podcast, joins Jaime for an honest conversation on redeeming broken marriages based on her new book, Tried and True: Marriage Advice from 12 Imperfect Biblical Couples. In this episode, Dana shares her powerful personal testimony of marrying at 18, navigating infidelity, and how God transformed their hearts of stone into hearts of flesh. She unpacks the spiritual danger of "hiding" from your spouse—like Adam and Eve—and offers practical advice for women who feel spiritually mismatched or disconnected from their husbands. Dana also tackles the controversial stance that children should not come first in the family hierarchy, explaining why prioritizing the marriage covenant is actually the best gift you can give your kids to prevent "gray divorce." You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on how to pray for your husband rather than against him to control outcomes, and how to trust Jesus as the Mediator when you feel too weary to pray. Visit danache.com to connect with Dana and pick up a copy of her new book at triedandtruemarriagebook.com. Tried and True explores the real-life struggles of biblical figures to help you navigate the "long middle" of marriage and reconnect spiritually. While there, you can also access her free 5-day devotional to help kickstart spiritual intimacy in your home, and be sure to listen to her podcast, Rebuilding Us, on the LifeAudio network.

Praying Through Psalm 52: Flourishing Like an Olive Tree When Evil Boasts

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today! How do you find your footing when calculated evil leaves a trail of destruction in its wake? Can a soul truly flourish while carrying the heavy burden of collateral damage? In this devotional on Psalm 52, we confront one of the darkest moments in David’s life—the massacre at Nob. We explore the aftermath of Doeg the Edomite’s "sharp razor" betrayal, which led to the slaughter of 85 priests and an entire town, leaving David wrestling with the crushing weight of responsibility for their deaths. We move beyond the horror to examine David’s defiant choice of faith: the stark contrast between the "boastful wickedness" of the enemy and David’s self-declaration as a "green olive tree" in the house of God. Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of deep restoration. If you are navigating the fallout of someone else’s betrayal, or if you are struggling with guilt over pain you feel you caused, this episode offers a sanctuary for your soul. Come ready to plant your roots deep in God’s presence, trusting that His loving-kindness endures even when the world is in chaos.

The One Component of Prayer Nearly All of Us Neglect

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today! In Part 2 of the special "lost episodes" recovered from the 2018 archives, Jaime and Alana take us back to the very beginning—Episode 2 of the show—to tackle the single most neglected component of a healthy prayer life: Confession If the word "confession" stirs up feelings of fear, shame, or hesitation, this conversation flips the script, redefining the act not as a punishment, but as the essential pathway to profound spiritual healing. The hosts deconstruct the stigma around admitting our faults, illustrating how keeping "short accounts" with God is actually the key to maintaining a clear and open line of communication. Drawing from the wisdom of James 5:16, they explore how unconfessed sin acts as a "prayer block" and why the Bible links confession directly to restoration. They candidly discuss the discomfort of vulnerability, the "crumpled paper" analogy of how sin builds invisible barriers, and the often-overlooked power of corporate repentance to bring unity to the body of Christ.

The Reunion Years in the Making

The Reunion Years in the Making Experience the emotional reunion of Joseph and Jacob as God’s hand orchestrates restoration, healing, and provision. Sammy Tippit explores how God can redeem deep sorrow, bring reconciliation, and use our wisdom and integrity to bless others. Discover the timeless truth that God works behind the scenes to turn our darkest seasons into a part of His greater plan.

Praying Through Psalm 51: Restoring the Joy of Salvation

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today! Can a heart stained by the worst kinds of betrayal ever truly be restored?? When the world demands justice, does God offer a different way back? In this devotional on Psalm 51, we step into the wreckage of King David’s greatest failure—the affair with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah. We move beyond a simple apology to uncover the specific Hebrew anatomy of David's confession: Pesha (rebellion), Avon (twistedness), and Hata'ah (missing the mark). We explore the shocking reality that under Mosaic Law, David should have faced the death penalty, yet he boldly asks God to "create a way" where the law offered none. Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of radical vulnerability. If you’ve ever felt like your mistakes have disqualified you from God’s presence, or that you are not worthy due to your past mistakes, this episode offers a roadmap from guilt to gladness. Come ready to run toward the Father who doesn't just want your perfection, but your broken and contrite heart.
