They’re sisters. Their parents got divorced. Since they’re both girls from the same family going through the same thing you’d think they would both have had the same experience, but . . . not so much. Hear their story at: http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/viewpoint/
Anna & Jenn will be joining us at 4REAL! We hope you will be too!

Unless you’re a sadist who likes making people squirm, confrontations are hard. It’s especially uncomfortable when you’re face-to-face with someone you absolutely don’t want to upset. Fortunately, Jesus gave you a plan for when a fellow believer does you wrong (Matthew 18:15–17):
Step One: Privately make your friend aware that she hurt you.
Step Two: Take a couple other people with you to talk to her if you need to.
Step Three: If she is stubborn, let your church leaders know what happened.
Step Four: Don’t hang out with her anymore.
This was written in 31 AD, and people have a few more communication options now. Maybe someone hurt you accidentally and it would be easier to express yourself via e-mail. Sometimes it’s just a simple misunderstanding that disappears when you both explain where you were coming from. Give her a call!
A large part of communication comes through body language—gestures, tone of voice, facial expressions—that gets missed on the phone or IM. So for the bigger confessions and confrontations, offer to buy your friend coffee and make it a face-to-face. Eliminate any chance for her to mistake your sincerity for sarcasm.

Three of the most beautiful, diverse and eclectic young people you’ll ever meet can currently be found on stage at the Revolve Tour. No matter where they go, Manwell, Blanca, and Pablo stand out in a crowd with their out-of-the-box fashion sense, rap/rock/soul/funk music and faith-filled, God-sized dreams. But life wasn’t always so sunny for this fascinating trio…
Before Group 1 Crew was Group 1 Crew, Manwell, Blanca, and Pablo found themselves living very different and unsatisfying lives. “Before I discovered music, I was a mess,” group emcee Manwell confesses. “I was a horrible kid. I was kicked out of three schools, did the whole crime thing—I robbed, stole, traded merchandise, etc. Teachers were scared of me, my family was disappointed in me…I didn’t even like me.”
Meanwhile, lead singer Blanca was struggling through her own childhood issues, “My dad was a member of the Latin Kings. He left my mother, brother and me alone with nothing when I was seven. All we had was each other.” Her parents got divorced and she was also sexually abused by an outside family member.
Pablo’s life as a pastor’s son in Guatemala wasn’t perfect either. After getting involved in drugs, alcohol and the bad crowd, a car accident woke him up. “After walking away from a crash that should have killed me, I suddenly got a whole different perspective on life,” says Pablo. “Life is short and I wanted to start making something of myself.”
United by their love for music, the trio eventually came together through a Bible study after college. Released on Fervent Records, their debut album won a Dove award and helped pave the way for their current project, Ordinary Dreamers, on which the group encourages other young people to pursue their dreams, no matter how impossible they may seem.
“We’re still ordinary people, but we’re doing extraordinary things,” Manwell says. “That’s an oxymoron, but it’s made so that the dreamer mentality can be on typical people’s minds. Nobody’s born a rock star. Nobody’s born famous. It’s just normal people who’ve done amazing things and are now esteemed for those amazing things. We feel that’s everyone. Everyone has that possibility.”
The members of Group 1 Crew overcame outstanding odds to be the trio that they are today. They are passionate about letting the world know that you can make your dreams come true, as well. Check them out on the Revolve Tour at a city near you! For more information, visit www.group1crew.com.

Is there anything more ironic than forgiveness? If your ex-best-friend lies about you and murders your reputation, how do you get your life back? Forgiveness. Forgiveness doesn’t mean saying what she did was right. It means you’ve decided her bad choice no longer has the power to make your day good or bad. It means you’ve let the situation go. Revenge keeps your attention on how horrible and depressed her stupid words made you feel. Jesus makes it clear that you find freedom when you forgive others…and forgiveness for your own mistakes. Ready to move on? Read Matthew 6:14
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
