Healing

image

The acknowledgment of our weakness is the first step in repairing our loss. --Thomas a Kempis

Matthew 11:28-30 (The Message)

image

Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with Me and work with Me--watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly.

Galatians 2:19-21

image

Through the Law I died to the Law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me; and the life that I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.

Live Passionately

image

Choosing to live passionately is to live on the edge of discovery and adventure again. It requires both daring trust and humble respect. Jeff Imbach

Rescuing

image

"rescue |ˈreskyoō|: to save." However, to rescue someone you love from emotional pain may not necessarily be saving them, but might merely be postponing the glorious inevitable - growth through struggle!

Life's Journey

image

The purpose of life's journey is to live relationally with God so that His Love can be poured into us, by the Holy Spirit. We were created by Love, for Love and to Love. --Renee Brunette

God Likes You

image

We've all heard God loves us, but for some that's become a cliche. Maybe a better realization is that God actually likes us. To like someone is to enjoy their company! So know this, God enjoys your company!!!!!

One Thing

image

All of Life comes down to just one thing, and that's to know You oh Jesus, and to make You known! --Charlie Hall

Father/father

image

We often have a mistaken idea of Who our Father God is simply because we still see Him through the eyes we had as a child who only saw our earthly father.

Identity

image

“Whose” are you is more important than who you are. We often identify ourselves by what we do or how well we do. But when we embrace Who we belong to, we can do or not do anything and still be somebody pretty special!

Joni Menard

Joni Menard has bought what she is selling.  After a difficult life experience 21 years ago she took up the yoke of Christ and resumed her journey with God.  In that journey she has initiated a variety of small group experiences in Oklahoma City and Edmond.  About 10 years into the journey, she completed a four year seminar course called Education for Ministry through Sewanee the University of the South, followed by a year of Clinical Pastoral Care training through Presbyterian hospital in Oklahoma City.  She has enjoyed many bible studies, seven years of Bible Study Fellowship and many years of study under Cathy Jo Wicks with Promiseland Bible Institute.  She has been blessed to serve for over 10 years in prison ministry in an ecumenical setting called Kairos Prison Ministry. 

For the last 10 years she and her husband Curt have led small home and church-based fellowship/study groups through LifeChurch.tv , in particular Transformed life groups under Renee Brunette’s leadership.  Under Renee’s mentoring, Joni received additional training in spiritual counseling and facilitator training.

Joni’s heart beats with the promise of offering spiritual direction to the body of Chirst.  She is excited to be a part of TBC because it provides a platform to share with others the tremendous gift that is Christ in us, the hope of glory.  She is gifted with enthusiasm and a joy in her heart for all persons, wherever they are in their personal journey.
