Do you Un-love Yourself? I did.

God’s Provision: A Story
SUMites, Those of you who've been with us a while will remember we had our last conference in April 2019, the Hear the Roar Summit in California. Well, that was impossible for me to get to. Honestly impossible. Yet I got there. I decided to dig out the story that I wrote on the blog

This Principle of Faith is a MUST for the Unequally Yoked
Hi Sum Nation. Lynn Donovan here. I’ve been pondering the spiritual principals of the Kingdom of God. There are spiritual laws that are unbreakable and cannot be subverted.

Oh, to be God’s friend
Welcome to day one of our annual corporate fast! As I write, I am sitting here in a shed/cabin in my back garden. I asked Bryce if I could commandeer the 'cabin' this week, as he normally uses it for work. He said yes, smirking a little at my weirdness LOL. So this is my

Are You Emotionally Mature? Your Spouse?
Hi SUM Nation, Lynn Donovan here today for a chat. I have a question to get started. Have you ever looked at someone (meaning your spouse :grin:) and wanted to say, “Grow up already!” Ahem! I’ve been doing a bit of research about emotional maturity, and it’s been enlightening. As I consider marriage relationships, I

A Holy Moment. Don’t Miss It!

Gatekeepers
By Amanda Pace I had prayed about what to write and settled on this story before I watched Lynn’s amazing video on spiritual warfare in the SUMite facebook group. Isn’t God’s timing amazing!

While in the Wilderness – Fasting Day Two
How did day one of the Fast go for you? If you didn't manage it yesterday don't beat yourself up — It's perfectly normal to have a few hiccups in this big exercise called fasting. Just dust yourself off, get back on the horse, and start afresh. Over here, so far so good. I've not

A Personal Word for Next Year
Dear SUM family, Ann here. We have certain routines in this community, and one of these routines is that around this time of year many of us will ask God for a word for the year. For ourselves, that is, as individuals. Asking God questions about our own life is such a good way of
