Behind the Series: Help Me Have More

Help us have more . . . what? Not material possessions or wealth. But, more fruits of the spirit!

Pastor Mike and Amber Albee Swenson—one of our Time of Grace bloggers, podcasters, and writers—give a sneak peek at August's new TV message series, "Help Me Have More," and discuss the fruits of kindness, joy, peace, and patience. In the midst of their conversation, we learn of Pastor Mike's love for string cheese, how Amber is a candidate for "Best Christian Ever," and Pastor Mike's possible first-ever camping trip.

August is also a special month! Some generous friends of the ministry have put up a $155,000 Challenge Grant, meaning your donation will go twice as far! As a thank you for your gift, we want to send you a book written by Linda Buxa, one of our Time of Grace writers and bloggers, called "Visible Faith." This nine-week step-by-step guide includes Scripture readings, devotional thoughts, and much more to help you live and love more like Jesus. Get your copy at timeofgrace.org.

What is Time of Grace With Pastor Mike Novotny?

Time of Grace exists to point people to what matters most: Jesus. Using a variety of media (television, radio, podcasts, print publications, and digital), Time of Grace teaches tough topics in an approachable and relatable way, accessible in multiple languages, making the Bible clear and understandable for those who need encouragement in their walks of faith and for those who don’t yet know Jesus at all.
