04/21/2026

We are just 4 weeks away from our 12th Annual CMIC Golf Tournament! We need golfers, different sponsors, door prizes and a lot of prayer. This is our main fundraiser of the year to raise scholarships to subsidize the cost of helping couples restore their marriage... the destruction of the marriage is a destruction of our society! Get involved!!!

Here is all the information you need to register....

Your support helps provide counseling for couples that are having a hard time with their marriages. CMIC is a ministry of Living180 Ministries that scholarship couples to bridge the gap between what the couple is paying for our services and the actual cost for those services.

The word worship comes from the Old English weorthscipe, meaning “worthiness” or “worthiness to be recognized.” At its core, worship means to show reverence, honor, and devotion to someone or something that is considered worthy of it.

In a Christian or biblical context:

Worship is the act of honoring God with your heart, mind, soul, and actions, acknowledging His greatness, holiness, and authority. It involves adoration, praise, submission, and love directed toward God.

Key aspects of worship in Scripture:
• It is spiritual and truth-based (John 4:23-24):
“True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth.”
• It involves the whole self (Romans 12:1):
“Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”
• It goes beyond music or church services: Worship is a lifestyle, not just a moment. Singing can be part of it, but worship includes how we live, think, speak, serve, and obey God.

Simple Definition:

Worship is responding rightly to who God is and what He has done—with awe, love, surrender, and praise.

🌿 DEVOTIONAL: The Heart of Worship

Scripture:

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy,
to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”
—Romans 12:1 (NIV)

Reflection:
Worship is more than a song—it’s a surrender.
It’s not just about Sunday mornings or lifted hands, but about a life laid down daily in response to God’s mercy. Worship happens in the quiet obedience, the unseen faithfulness, and the choice to trust God even when it’s hard.

To worship is to say with your life, “God, You are worthy.”

Prayer:
Lord, help me worship You not just with my words, but with my life. May my every breath, every choice, and every act of love be an offering to You. Teach me to live in awe of You every day. Amen.

On Wednesday, we proudly graduated one of our lovely couples. The transformation we've witnessed in them is remarkable, and it genuinely feels like a cause for celebration. This couple has acquired the necessary tools to navigate the challenges one faces in marriage. We assure each graduating couple that our support will continue, and we encourage them to reach out whenever they need guidance. We also emphasize the essential steps required to maintain a strong and healthy marriage. Our experience has shown that couples who remain connected within a community are more likely to succeed. Furthermore, those who share their experiences and help others will continue to refine their understanding of the tools and apply them effectively in their own lives. This principle of iron sharpening iron is a cornerstone of our ministry. As I look back, I believe that during the initial phase of our ministry, we were still discovering the significance of these tools. However, in the subsequent phase, we were able to overcome numerous difficult life challenges due to the strength of our marriage, which was fortified by these tools, boundaries, and our commitment to them. Please celebrate with us for this couple by praying blessings on their marriage and the ministry they embrace as they work in their church with other couples. Also pray for God to multiply our efforts as we seek to bring our curriculum to churches and christian leaders all over the world.

Living 180 Ministries is named as such because we firmly believe that healing is initiated by acknowledging one's need for transformation. The onset of the Covid pandemic necessitated a strategic pivot, resulting in the creation of an online program for our Marriage Ministry. Thereafter, Paul authored a book for Men's Ministry and recovery, and is presently developing workbooks and recording a video series to support churches and individuals to be completed soon. Simultaneously, I have commenced work on a women's version of the same resource. Throughout the past five years, our ministry has undergone substantial development, and we are now focusing our efforts on supporting church congregations and leadership. We encourage you to discuss Living 180 Ministries with your pastor and explore how we can provide marriage counseling, trauma and addiction recovery resources, and help you establish accountability groups within your church community.

Spending some time with my mom Bette Talley before we make the 10 hour trip hike so that we can vote. Mom likes looking at photos and Suzi Talley loves showing her and telling her who everyone is.
