 |  | | On the Menu  | | Food for Thought... | A NOTE FROM MELISSA & COURTNEY | Hi Friend, We hope you’re enjoying longer days, (hopefully) warmer weather, and flowers beginning to bloom! New life is everywhere we look—and every year it serves to remind us of the incredible hope we have because of Jesus’s resurrection. His victory over sin and death changes everything—giving us not just hope for eternity but new life and renewed strength for today. In 1 Peter 1:3, we’re reminded that “according to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” This living hope sustains us when life feels overwhelming and uncertain. Because Jesus is alive, we can walk in confidence, knowing that nothing—not even death—can separate us from his love. As we celebrate Easter this weekend, we hope these words remind you of the best news the world has ever received: He is risen! He is risen indeed! May this truth fill your heart with peace, joy, and renewed hope this Easter. With love and gratitude, Melissa & Courtney |  | In Christ,
Melissa & Courtney
| | | | The Deep Dish LISTEN IN TO OUR LATEST PODCAST EPISODE | Work Well With All Types of People Do you ever feel like what comes easy for someone else is hard for you? Or, do you struggle to work well with people whose strengths are different from yours? On this week’s episode of The Deep Dish, Melissa Kruger and Courtney Doctor talk with TGC’s director of events, Ann Westrate, about how understanding each others’ gifts has enhanced their work as a team. | | | | Discussion Questions - What gifts or abilities have others recognized or affirmed in you? How has God given you opportunities to use and develop those?
- While this episode focused on the Working Genius, there are many assessments available to help you understand the way you work and interact with others. If you have taken any, how have your results been helpful to you?
- In what ways have you struggled with envying the giftedness of others?
- How do you see your own strengths as an essential part of the body of Christ? Where do you feel called to invest your talents in new ways (or to continue using them)?
- How can you use your unique gifts and strengths to be a blessing to those in your workplace, family, or community?
- Who in your work, church, or family needs to have their gifts recognized and affirmed? How is God calling you to encourage that person or those people?

It’s brought me deep encouragement and rest in Christ, even on my hard days, reminding me that he is enough.” —Katie Warner | “I’m always looking for yummy ways to add more veggies to my diet. This Noodle-Free Chicken Pad Thai recipe bursts with flavor and is chock full of vegetables! I didn’t even miss the noodles!” —Sharonda Cooper | “Looking to do some spring cleaning? I’ve used Mr. Clean Magic Erasers for years, but finding the Ultra Bath version was a game-changer. With very little effort, they clean everything from soap scum on glass shower doors to muddy orange footprints left in the bathtub by my baseball player sons.” —Winfree Brisley | | | | The Global Dish PRAY FOR THE CHURCH AROUND THE WORLD  Fifty years ago, there were only five known evangelical Christians in the entire country of Turkey. Now there are perhaps 5,000, but that’s still a tiny number among a population of 86 million. TGC recently completed its first conference in Turkey for pastors and their wives—all former Turkish Muslims who are now aflame for the gospel of Christ. Join us in praying for a great spiritual awakening in Turkey! | |  | | Pass the Plate | | Do you know someone who would be encouraged by this email? Forward it to her!
