Expectations, Unhealed Wounds, and Karpman’s Drama Triangle
Thursday, 01 April 2021
by Indiana Ministries
By Doug Talley Expectations. Ever since we were kids, we’ve developed expectations of other people, events, situations, and ourselves that led to disappointment when they weren’t realized.

by Indiana Ministries
By Tom Planck Considering the events of this last year, there are more than a few reasons to expect evidence of a deceleration of impact in the Church.

New Year, Same COVID
Thursday, 07 January 2021
by Indiana Ministries
By Doug Talley As the new year begins, at least for a while we are dealing with the same COVID pandemic and its restrictions. This is not the way any of us wanted to start 2021. Last March I couldn’t imagine the world being shut down for a few weeks much less over a year. But we still
