So many thoughts begging to be penned about today (9/11) and yesterday with the assasination of Charlie Kirk. These two dates have a unique spiritual connection. Did 9/11 really jar us 24 years ago enough to shift us as a nation back to our Christian roots? No, it didn’t. The Church eventually went back to life as usual. We did not heed God’s warning. We didn’t repent or turn from our wicked ways. The 21st century so far has been the devil’s playground, but yesterday I believe something woke up deep inside our souls telling us to never go back to the way things were. To never be silenced. To proclaim Jesus Christ in the public square louder than ever before, and not to be ashamed or afraid. Oh God, we need You! 🙏

The first Wednesday of each month we pray for the school/district of choice, asking God to guard and protect the hearts, minds, and souls of students across our state. If you’d like to join us in this effort, please comment below with your school of choice and district. May those who are in Christ on our campuses shine bright so others will see Him and come to know Him by grace through faith. 🙏

Not so long ago, I couldn’t walk out the door without an argument. For years, darkness, insecurity, and paranoia enslaved my husband which eradicated even the tiniest glimmer of joy in his life. And for so long, we didn’t know why.

Sweet memories. A precious friendship. Thank you, Angela Norman, for remembering our friend, Toni, so well.

I overheard someone mention the name of the woman playing guitar: Toni Rypkema. How could I forget a name like that? Without hesitation, I stepped across the courtyard and introduced myself. We laughed and were excited to finally meet. Little did I know, our brief encounter would be the first of man

The smell of exhaust tickled Brittany’s little nose as she walked away from the big yellow school bus toward the house where she and her mom stayed. As she neared home, those big brown eyes searched frantically when she heard booming, angry voices.

The priceless treasure of the Word of God. Because most of us have always had access to the Bible, it’s rattling to hear stories of those whose Bibles were confiscated or about those who just want to hold one.

The Bible is a treasure, taken for granted by many, but deeply appreciated by others.

Our Story

Living Real Magazine hit the streets in the fall of 2009. It’s a bi-yearly, free publication distributed in and around the midlands of SC, as well as online. Since the beginning, our mission has been to challenge and encourage Believers along their faith journeys through the stories of real people “showing and telling” what real faith looks like with skin on it. As the magazine has grown, more and more people are finding out about it and asking how they can get a copy. Beginning in April 2018, subscriptions will be available for purchase on our website. You’ll never have to miss another issue, because you can have your personal copy sent to straight your home or office. Churches and organizations will also be able to purchase in bulk from the website as well. As God continues to expand LR’s borders, we will continue to bring you stories from near and far as we seek to impact the Kingdom for the glory of Jesus Christ.
