If you’re an American Idol fan then you’ll likely remember Mandisa–season five’s unforgettable contestant. Her warmth and rich tone entertained viewers each week as Mandisa Hundley sang her way up to the top ten.

When Mandisa was faced with the usual “I don’t mean to be rude, but…” verbiage that Simon Cowell hands out, she chose love in what was a surprising and public response. Forgiving Cowell for pointing out that the stage might not hold her plus-sized figure, Mandisa took the opportunity to forgive Simon, as a reflection of… Read More

Happy 2008! We are entering into the time of year for New Year’s goals and resolutions. If you are like me you have the thoughts like “Oh great, more goals I can make that I know I will never live up to.”  Despite those feelings we still make goals, and when we break the goals, we live with the guilt and frustration of our failure. Many times at the top of the list is “growing and learning more about God.” We enroll in Bible study classes or purchase “Read the Bible in… Read More

Darlene Zschech is known worldwide for her ability to move listeners into a state of worship, both by her gifted ability to sing, and the heart-felt lyrics that warm our souls.

Her worship songs have been popular amongst churchgoers since the release of “Shout to the Lord,” the title track of the first live album co-produced with Integrity Music.

Born in Brisbane, Australia, Darlene began singing and performing at a young age, and by her teen years was singing jingles for popular companies like McDonalds, KFC, and Diet Coke.

When I recently discovered “good girl” Kerri Pomarolli, I couldn’t help but be drawn in by the undeniable charisma that she holds. Not only is Kerri adorable, she’s a talented actress, author, and comedian. She’s the kind of woman you Photoshop on PMS days just to get even, and I would–but a) I’m over my PMS, and b) I like this woman too much!

Kerri is gifted with a knack for wit. She uses this gift to entertain, but she also uses her gift to minister to women with laughter, prayer and inspiration.

Allison is an inspirational writer, speaker, and novelist who shares her story of triumph over tragedy to encourage others to embrace the life-transforming power of God.

It was Elaine’s passion for reading the Word that first drew me into friendship with her. We met through CWO’s Facebook group and began chatting on the topic of “What have you read in the Word lately?” I discovered that when you ask Elaine Bateman that question, you always get an enthusiastic response.

As I’ve come to know this woman a little more over recent months, I’ve learned that a zeal for serving Christ is a large part–if not the entire part–of who this woman is. One other… Read More
