Randy had a video call with Becky York and many staff members from Water Mission. They talked about the multi-faceted benefits of giving. Randy shared some insights and advice about providing supporters with opportunities to give.

Randy gave a baccalaureate message to the 2024 graduates of Sam Barlow High School, including one of his grandsons. Randy also graduated from Barlow in 1972.

Over the last two and a half years of grief since Nanci died, I have been sensing deeply the friendship of Jesus. What could be better than for Him to not only love us so much that He would die for us, but to actually call us His friends, and not just servants? 

This is a blast from the past, at least for those of us old enough to remember Dallas Holm and Praise, and his 1977 mega-hit “I Will Rise Again.” I have listened to it multiple times recently, and it takes me back to a crucial time in my life.

To become radical like Jesus we must be intentional, passionate, and curious when it comes to spending time with the Father. Nobody embodied this more than young Jesus. 

In this clip from his conversation with Matt Mancinelli from Generous Giving, Randy answers the question: How do you manage the tension between caring for your family’s needs and giving generously?  Randy says that he realized early on “my biggest responsibility to my children is not to leave them an inheritance but to leave them a heritage.” 

In 2022, Randy spoke on a Zoom call with Matt Mancinelli and a group from Generous Giving. He shared about his grief since the recent loss of his wife Nanci, as well as insights regarding inheritances and giving money to children.  

Sufferers commonly ask, “Why me? Why not someone else? Why haven’t my friends lost a child or their husband? Why can they walk and ride bikes while I’m in a wheelchair? Why have you treated me differently, God?”  

While some people say that in Heaven we will no longer be male or female, the Bible doesn’t say that. When people saw Jesus in His resurrection body, they knew He was still a man. Likewise, in the final Resurrection, women will be women and men will be men.

In an incredibly sad scene in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Susan and Lucy observe the terrifying death of Aslan. They are in utter despair that the best being they had ever known had been mocked and killed. Suddenly, they hear a great noise. The Stone Table was broken into two.

I am looking for an online/video or daily study that I can share daily with the family, including our grown children, to stay in the Word and prepare and encourage each other for Heaven.

The devastation of tragedy feels just as real for people whose faith endures suf­fering. But because they know that others have suffered and learned to trust God anyway, they can apply that trust to God as they face their own disasters. 

I’m convinced that the Bible is clear that though we will have freedom to choose in Heaven, we will have no ability to sin. Consider Revelation 21:4-5.

Our instincts tell us that this fallen world isn’t our home—we were made for someplace better. I’ve never been to Heaven, yet I miss it. Eden’s in my blood. The best things of life are souvenirs from Eden, appetizers of the New Earth.
