Hey there! Chuck here, along with my wife of 40+ years, Sherry.
What a mad transition we’re all in between life as we’ve always known it and—well, that’s the big question, isn’t it? Where is this all going?
Sherry and I have dealt with huge crises throughout our 34 years in Asia. Earthquakes, governmental overthrow, diseases, murders, and more— yet, by God’s grace we’re still standing.
One thing we’ve come to experience is that you really can be steady even when the world around you is quaking. We've tested “what works” as we roamed like nomads in Asia, raising six kids, and undergoing some of life’s most dramatic challenges.
Grounding is the new mandatory life hack for 2024.
In this space, we want to share what we’ve learned about being grounded through experience and the Scriptures. Let’s explore God’s wisdom together this year.
