Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Death of a Star - #8263 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
During my first ski lesson, I fell down on the beginners' slope and I hurt the part of me that God designed for that purpose. Tragically, when actress Natasha Richardson fell on the bunny slope, she sustained a head injury that only hours later ended her life. It was an unlikely death; it was an untimely death. You know, five years ago, she said: "Every morning I wake up and think how lucky I am, probably because of fear, because it can all be gone in a moment." Well, it can for any of us.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Combustible Living - #8262 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I’m Ron Hutchcraft and I was reminded of the story Roy told me about when he was a young bookkeeper during the Depression. He took enormous pride in keeping meticulous records for his company. Then came the day the company went under. Roy’s final order from his boss: go out back and burn the books. Roy told me of the life-changing day when he watched his life’s work literally go up in flames. He soon became a great pastor.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Victim is Not Your Middle Name - #8261 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
Cindy called all the way from Alaska last night to ask for prayer. She has (called) a number of times (to ask for prayer), but this call brought some painful news. Cindy was the victim of a terrible sexual assault. Thankfully, she’s getting the appropriate counseling, but she, of course, really needs prayer. And as I prayed for her on the phone, I found myself praying this way: “Lord, help Cindy to never let this experience define who she is. ‘Rape victim’ is something awful that happened to her, Lord, but it’s not who she is.”

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - One Safe Place In a Tornado - #8260 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
‘Tis the season for all those ominous red boxes all over the weather map. You know, the ”severe weather watch.” Every year around this time, there are some monster tornadoes that leave sudden death and destruction in their path. And always those survivor stories. like the mother and daughter near Oklahoma City whose whole house was blown away around them. But they walked out unscathed because they had one of those concrete rooms in their house, built to withstand twisters. They call it a safe room. ... I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and we all need one of those.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - The Power of a Parents Words - #8258 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
Baseball season was always a special time for me and my boys. We bonded, actually, playing baseball together, and I remember when I was first teaching my oldest son how to hit a ball. It was just a plastic Wiffle bat and ball in our backyard. And I pitched gently, but he was just chopping at it and missing. He had two strikes. I went over to him, coached him a little, took a few steps back to throw the ball, and said, “Hey, I know you’re going to hit it this time, man!” He whacked that ball into the neighbor’s yard. Do you know, years later, in a college class where they asked students about important memories from their childhood, that’s the day he told them about.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Your Own 24 - #8257 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
When I first heard about the TV series, “24,” I thought the idea was a non-starter. I mean, the entire season is about one day, with each show being one hour of that day. A dumb idea, I thought. Well, it shows how much I know. They’re several seasons in now, and the show continues to draw a strong audience. And for Jack Bauer, the hero, the entire season is about just one day.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Shiny Gold or Solid Gold - #8256 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
A friend of ours has been watching the price of gold going up and up, and she decided it was time to trade in some gold jewelry for cash. She had some elegant looking pieces, and then one that she described as “really pretty ugly.” But the jeweler saw something different. The beautiful pieces brought some modest cash. The “ugly” one was worth more than any other piece. It didn’t look all that great on the outside, but when the jeweler weighed it, he said it was solid gold all the way through.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - The End of Your Journey - #8255 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
Not long ago, we had occasion to pass through Albuquerque, New Mexico. And I was reminded of a dear Native American friend, who is up in years and battling some physical problems. He told me that he views this part of his life as he does driving to Albuquerque. See, there’s this long climb to get to the top of this steep hill, and then suddenly, there it is: the beautiful lights of the city that you’ve wanted to get to.
