God has given each of us a job. It’s an important job. But we probably spend a lot more time at the job that’s printed on our business card than engaged in the job God has given us.

Today on A NEW BEGINNING, some practical insight on how to do that job well. The job is discipleship . . . and we all have been called to that privilege. Join our Jesus Revolution Baptism on July 27!

Dr. Robert Jeffress encourages us to invest in eternity by maximizing the time, talents, resources, and opportunities God has given us.

Kim Anthony had talent but did not have the ‘look’ of a typical gymnast in the 1980s – she was African-American, too tall, and came from a poor family. But by the time she got to college, she had already overcome incredible odds: almost aborted; a drug-addicted father; a struggling single mom. When her gymnastic victories left her feeling hollow, Kim sought a deeper meaning for her life, and found it through Jesus Christ. She concludes her message by encouraging her audience of high-school students to esteem themselves as sons and daughters of the King and embrace sexual purity before marriage.   Receive the book Unfavorable Odds: and the audio download of the broadcast "Catapulting Over a Painful Past." for your donation of any amount!
