We're not talking about a headache or a toothache here.

We're talking about a situation where your life is on the line.

Dr. Tony Evans says even the worst storms we face in life come our way for a reason.

A storm is always designed to increase your faith and give you a deeper experience with your God.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives

taught over an extended period of time for you to take a major test on.

These major exams were no joke. Sometimes they required all day and all night studying,

because you knew that typically the weight of a major exam was more than the weight of a pop quiz,
