Dear Friend,
I was sitting around our supper table last week with seven of my closest friends when one of them said, “Did you know it’s now legal in Japan to marry an AI bot?” I shook my head and thought, It’s news like that which has sincere believers feeling like the world has lost its way—and they honestly don’t know what to do about it.
And you know what? They’re right. The world is struggling. But I’m convinced the answer isn’t political, cultural, or even organizational—it’s spiritual.
God has an answer for this broken world, and it has always been His people living out His truth in everyday life.
Let me share a story from one of our Living on the Edge family members about the way God is working in her life through His people:
Nicole’s parents are faithful listeners to the Living on the Edge podcast. As they responded to God’s Word through the teachings, He transformed their lives. Nicole could see the work He was doing in their hearts, so she began listening to the podcast too. Soon they were learning and growing in faith together.
“Your messages have become a part of our lives, providing encouragement and a deeper understanding of God,” Nicole shared. “I truly appreciate the way you address real-life challenges with practical wisdom. It has helped us navigate some tough times with renewed strength and hope. It’s amazing how your words spark conversations between us, helping us connect and reflect on the teachings in meaningful ways. Our increased faith and positivity are a beautiful testament to the lessons we have learned through Living on the Edge.”
That’s the miraculous way God works! He used this ministry to change Nicole’s parents’ lives, and, through them, Nicole’s life too. God uses His people sharing His truth to change the world—one transformed life at a time.
That’s why Romans 12 is so powerful. In that single chapter, Paul gives us a clear picture of what it means to be a genuine disciple—to be a Christian who actually lives like a Christian. It’s transformational, not transactional. It changes how we think, how we treat people, how we respond to adversity, and how we love those around us. And that transformation has a ripple effect, spreading God’s love and truth to others who need it.
Through Bible teaching, discipleship resources, small groups, and digital outreach, God is using Living on the Edge to equip believers and pastors all over the world, guiding them to become Romans 12 Christians—authentic, surrendered, and influential for Christ in their homes, workplaces, and communities.
I am super grateful for committed friends like you whose prayers and financial support God has used to change lives, restore relationships, and bring hope.
And this month, I’d like you to consider how you could make an even greater difference. You see, single gifts help us respond to immediate needs, but monthly partners make sustainable transformation possible.
Monthly partners are the backbone of everything we do. They help us plan ahead, expand our reach, and equip more men and women to think and live like Jesus every day.
They help us to reach more people like Nicole and her parents with God’s truth exactly where they are and when they need it most, opening the door to His transformational work in their lives.
When you become a monthly partner, you’re not just supporting Living on the Edge—you’re joining a team and propelling the mission. You’re saying, “I want to make a difference in the world by helping Christians live like Christians so that together we can answer Jesus’ prayer to bring God’s Kingdom and His Will to the earth.”
If that resonates with your heart, I want to personally invite you to take the next step today. You often hear me say that God doesn’t need our money, but He invites us to participate in His work.
So, would you join us as a monthly partner? Your consistent giving—even a modest amount each month—has a multiplying impact that changes lives for eternity.
As you and I lock arms together, and as we deploy God’s plan of Romans 12, He will continue to build the movement of believers who love boldly, serve humbly, give generously, and lead courageously in a world desperate for truth.
Thank you for considering this invitation. I’m deeply grateful for your friendship, your faith, and your partnership in this mission.
Bringing light to the darkness—together.
th chose, regardless of how we felt and regardless of the hurt we had caused each other, to love the way God had loved us. The foundation of sacrificial, other-centered love (agape), combined with loyal family love and renewed friendship, began to rekindle romance in a way we never could have produced by trying harder or demanding our own way.
That journey convinced us that love is not something we passively wait to “fall into.” Love is something we actually can CHOOSE. In a culture that often reduces love to a feeling or a fleeting romantic high, Scripture calls us to a deeper, stronger, more durable reality: agape love, which involves giving another person what they need the most, when they deserve it the least, at great personal cost to us.
Here, then, is the hope that sustains our marriages, families, friendships, churches, and workplaces. This love is not reserved for a few “spiritual giants.” It is available, right now, to every follower of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.
I can personally attest that your faithful generosity is helping countless people discover and begin to practice this kind of love. We read of it, hear of it, and see the fruit of your gifts in countless stories of redemption.
Through Bible teaching, resources, and conversations grounded in Philippians 2, men and women are learning that love gives, serves, obeys, and cares—even when we don’t feel like it. They are discovering that when we choose love instead of waiting to feel love, God goes to work in us, for us, and through us in ways no amount of self-protection or self-promotion could ever accomplish.
Because of your partnership, people are being equipped to:
- Trade a me-first mindset for humble, others-first love in their homes and churches, learning to declare war on selfishness and embrace the joy that comes from putting others ahead of themselves
- Stand firm in a culture that treats love as a feeling, by choosing biblical love that is patient, kind, truthful, and enduring, even when emotions run dry
- Restore broken relationships—whether marriages drifting toward isolation, friendships strained by politics, or families divided by hurt—by taking the first step instead of waiting for someone else to change
One of the great mysteries of the Christian life is that love grows not by getting what we want, but by choosing to give. Jesus modeled this perfectly, and then promised that His joy would be in us as we walk in His way. Your generosity is a living picture of that truth. You are not simply “supporting a ministry”; you are actively choosing love, in a way that brings joy to the Father, help to His people, and light to a watching world.
As you continue to invest so faithfully, here are some simple, practical ways to practice this “I choose love” lifestyle in your own relationships:
- Start each day with a short prayer: “Lord, today I choose love. Show me one person to serve, encourage, or listen to—and give me the courage to act.”
- In a tense or painful relationship, take one small step of humility: Apologize first, listen without defending, or release the need to have the last word.
- Build a habit of caring in concrete ways: Write a note of encouragement, show up early to help instead of arriving just on time, or quietly meet a practical need for someone who can’t repay you.
- Periodically “pause and evaluate” your schedule and commitments, asking, “Does this way of living leave room to love well, or am I too busy to care?”
None of these steps are dramatic, but each one is a powerful, Spirit-empowered choice to say, “I will not wait to be loved—I will choose to love.” That is the very heart of the message we are sharing together, and your faithful giving is taking it farther than you may ever see this side of heaven.
Thank you for standing with us, for believing that love really is the most powerful force in the world, and for living that belief with open hands and an open heart. May the Lord meet you in fresh ways as you continue to CHOOSE LOVE—in your marriage, your family, your friendships, your church, and your everyday world.
With deep appreciation,
Chip Ingram
