Ministering to the "Differently Abled!"

Christian Berets--This dynamic ministry has been enriching the lives of differently abled children for over thirty years! New CEO Dave Shackelford shares new developments and opportunities to serve. Patti Zaske was told 32 years ago that her Down Syndrome son, Randy, would never walk or speak. She found Christian Berets to be a wonderful key to unlocking Randy's potential (by the way, Randy was featured at a Kings basketball halftime show a few years ago, as he sunk a 3-pointer from half court--facing backwards to the basket!). Patti shares her heart on this very special edition of Lighthouse Live!

Hope for Parolees! One of the toughest situations in our society is faced by released prisoners, who are trying to break away from a prison worldview to healthy societal living.

The culture shock is tough, jobs are hard to get, and without some outside resources to lean on, the likelihood of returning to prison is great.

However, HOPE is provided through Police and Corrections Team—a collaboration between law enforcement and the community, including the faith community, to provide parolees with the resources they need to make a new life for themselves!

It’s an exciting and proven way of bringing hope to not only the released prisoners, but their families as well! Guests include Wayne Davison, Gardol Wilson, John Long, and Jim Tacheira.

Getting Real With God; Leaving Anxieties Behind!

Lighthouse Live! Broadcast

Who’s really driving your bus? Is it your past, your hurts, your frustrations, or other people? Ever worry about “measuring up” to other people’s expectations—even God’s expectations? Have you ever just wanted to “be real”, and get rid of that phony mask for good?

Lay aside anxieties and perfectionism, and learn how to better comfort others who are hurting during this broadcast voyage with special guest, Jim Henman, Ph.D.! We’ll discuss great nuggets of wisdom gleaned from the pages of Scripture, and explore the refreshing news that God doesn’t expect perfectionism from us…He wants us to grow through the warmth of his love and grace. Growing imperfectly is okay with God!

Dr. Jim Henman is a local psychologist and therapist, and author if “Who’s Really Driving Your Bus?” Hosted by Pastor Mike Douglass and Elaine Harlan.
