How can we live above the problems of everyday life? Habakkuk tells us how, and it’s all about getting God’s perspective. There is unspeakable joy in embracing, accepting, and submitting to whatever “burden” God has called each of us to endure. With His help, we can live above it!

Jill taught this message at a conference on the spiritual art of leadership.

Writing to the Galatians, Paul explained that he had "died to the law"; He had been "crucified with Christ." And He had "crucified the sinful nature." In addition, he told them that through the cross "the world has been crucified to me and I to the world." These startling statements deserve our attention.

Since 2000, she and Stuart, who was formerly senior pastor of Elmbrook Church for 30 years, have had the joy of equipping and encouraging believers across the globe in their roles as ministers-at-large for Elmbrook.
