When I feel inspired to write, I try to make the most of the opportunity, which is why I’m almost never without my laptop computer. Between calls, I can usually be found in the quietest part of the building, pecking away at a blog post or the chapter of a book. A few days ago, I pulled my laptop from…

I receive messages from friends who are inspired by the testimonies and instruction I share, but many of them have a hard time stepping out and praying…
