In this time together, we receive a sobering message about the reality that there will be a day when the believers and unbelievers will be separated, each going to the destination they have chosen-heaven or hell. Larry and Gloria share of the different types of followers of Jesus- the Lunch Bunch (wanting something), the Grunch Bunch (religious) and the Hunch Bunch (disappointed in Jesus). But you are given an opportunity to be a part of the "YES" Bunch-saying yes to Jesus and following Him!

What stands out in this time together are the smiles and the love in the eyes of Larry and Gloria Lundstrom as they remember and share about their mothers---their characteristics, their sacrifices, their legacies. It is truly a special time as they share memories and moments that helped shape who they are today. Gloria then has some thoughts on Mary, the mother of Jesus, and what she walked through with raising the Son of God. She leaves us with a beautiful challenge to leave a lasting legacy!

Let's face it....life on this earth can be tough at times. The last few years have proved to us that we are not in control and each of us has some questions we must face. In today's time together, Larry and Gloria share about the LINES that we will experience: TIMEline, BOTTOM line, BLOODline, DEADline. Each of these lines has a direct affect on our eternal destination. They offer encouragement and reveal how the Lord has provided a way to walk the line into eternity with Him!

What a joy it is to hear further PROOF OF THE RESURRECTION as Larry and Gloria share the stories of how each of their families came to know Jesus Christ! These are powerful testimonies of how they each experienced a personal resurrection in their lives....going from death to life! Lives forever transformed by the Gospel is further proof of the resurrection power of Jesus Christ not only as He was raised from the dead but also as that same power makes way for each of us to be given new life!

In this Holy Week as we approach Good Friday (God's rescue plan) and Resurrection Sunday (the proof), Larry and Gloria reflect on how main characters in this epic unfolding saw the proof and tried to cover it up because the PROOF WOULD DEMAND A VERDICT! Many of us can see the proof and evidence of God in our lives or the in the lives of others, but we don't want to face it because it would require us to make a decision. Listen today and may you face the proof and make an eternal decision!

It was an absolute joy and delight to have Larry return to the COFFEE & CONNECT LIVE after undergoing invasive surgery and experiencing a few setbacks. He certainly didn't let that hold him back for this time together as he shared some things that he has learned through this time of recovery. He was ready and filled with wisdom and knowledge challenging us with the story of Blind Bartimaeus--He had to know the One he was calling to, recognize he had a need and finally, he had to call!

In today's time together, Gloria shares a quick update on Larry's recovery and is hopeful he will join the CCLIVE next week! She also shares and discusses with Marne how her heart breaks when she hears of those who have faced difficult times and their hearts have been hardened. Life can be so unfair, yet in the midst of it all, Jesus walks with us. She encourages us to hang on, stand firm, remain faithful to the end trusting God because we will share in all that belongs to Christ! (Heb. 3:14)

In today's time together, Gloria shares another update on Larry's recovery from back surgery and is happy to say there has been progress. Praise the Lord! She also shares a short devotional on arriving in Holland when that isn't the intended destination. In life, we all have times where we end up where we didn't expect. How we respond to those situations will greatly affect our lives and how we are able to shine His light in the midst of those circumstances!

As many may know, Larry underwent invasive double back surgery on February 17th. The surgery went well, but the recovery has had a few speed bumps causing him to revisit the hospital. Gloria shares an update on what took place, how he is doing now and specific things that can be prayed for, as well as, an excellent spiritual nugget of how God has given peace and strength even when it feels like they are in the waiting room. Be encouraged!

As we continue on in the month of February---highlighting the topic of LOVE---we focus on the special love/bond between a grandchild and grandparent. As families face so much brokenness, the importance of grandparents cannot be underestimated. Special guest, Pastor Bruce Schoeman, joins Larry and Gloria to talk about intentional and relational Christian grandparenting and how there is unique opportunity for grandparents to impact their grandchildren in ways that can have eternal ramifications!

What was your "take-away" from the Superbowl? In today's episode, you will hear the hearts of Larry and Gloria Lundstrom as they share their largest takeaway....a stadium filled to capacity with a crowd cheering on their time....but what of their eternal destination? The fields are ripe for harvest but are the laborers there? Are they weeping over the lost? Are they stepping up at half-time to see the completion that secures the eternal crown? "If not me---who? If not now---when?"

Join Larry and Gloria Lundstrom as they share their "LOVE" story and reveal some of the up's and down's of a marriage relationship on the road. They share some of the keys that have kept their LOVE for one another alive, as well as, how their calling and dedication to God was integral in their marriage and navigating bumps along the way. Also, you will get to hear about the Sinner's Rights and how we all have the choice to refuse or receive!
