Angela (Alcorn) Stump

Randy’s home church, Good Shepherd Community Church, hosted a women’s worship night, where Angela Stump, one of his daughters, shared a message of encouragement and a challenge from Hebrews 12. She reminded listeners that turning our eyes upon Jesus is the only way to endure in the race of the Christian life. When we know who Jesus truly is, our hearts are filled with love and gratitude that overflow into a lifetime of worship.

My youngest daughter Angela wrote the following about her mom on September 28, the six-month anniversary of Nanci’s homegoing. March 28 marked the one-year anniversary since Nanci relocated to Heaven. This week our family has been all together—both our daughters Karina and Angela and their husbands, and all five of our grandsons.

The following is an Easter devotional Angela wrote this week for the women at her church. I hope her message of joy after sorrow will encourage your heart as you anticipate celebrating Easter Sunday, despite the difficulties of life in this season.

How do we, as believers in Christ, love each other well on social media?

Here are three things to consider as you’re browsing. 

Three years ago we shared the original version of my daughter Angela’s article on social media, and it was one of the most popular posts we’ve ever had. She’s since revised and expanded her post into a two-part series. Since the expanded version is every bit as relevant and helpful as the original, I wanted to share it with you. In part one, Angie encourages us to stop and think about what we’re posting on social media.

From The Ishbane Conspiracy by Randy Alcorn, Angela (Alcorn) Stump and Karina (Alcorn) Franklin  Dear Foulgrin,I’m pleased our favorite holiday’s coming up in a few weeks. Halloween! It’s official, Foulgrin—these vermin now spend more money on this holiday than any other except Christmas.

We as Christians need to show the world that it’s impossible to make it to heaven by our own power or self-righteousness. Sooner or later, we all have to place faith in that one and only Someone (not something) who can lead us there

Folks back then said it all started when I moved away from my parents at eighteen. They said I was young and stupid, and was pushed into crazy beliefs because I had no one to guide me.
