By: Gabriela Yareliz Why does the world breathe easier today because you are in it? This was a question that came up in Dr. Amen’s brain course, which I am finishing up.

Only the Brave
By: Gabriela Yareliz I loved this message from Erwin McManus. It was a powerful reminder of the call to courage, and the role our measure of courage plays in laying hold of the life God can help us achieve. The interesting thing is courage is a decision.

Whole
“Entitled people are never happy.” Dr. Amen brain course By: Gabriela Yareliz We live in a “blame-y” culture (borrowed the term from Emma Grede).
