Life Quest USA President John Jones said, “Right now, you are using your thinking. There is a reason the Bible tells us not to lean on our own understanding. You need to start running everything through the God filter. You need more time in the Word. You need to spend more time in prayer because that is the answer to all of your questions.”LifeQuest USA is a non-profit serving the adjudicated youth throughout New Mexico. They offer at-risk and incarcerated youth in the state of New Mexico a pathway to a brighter future and hope for life fulfilled.  More information about volunteering as a mentor and helping to support the ministry is available at https://lifequestusa.org/.

Jennifer is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). She is also a Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE). She started Nourished Nutrition Counseling because she believes that good nutrition can truly change a person’s life. Jennifer said, “We will teach you the tools to be successful long-term without feeling deprived.” She is not a big fan of “dieting.” Jennifer said, “We need to get rid of these food rules! Diets do more harm than they do good. There are mental and physical ramifications to dieting.” Go to https://nourishednutritioncounseling.com/ for more information.

But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the Law, sin was dead. I was alive once without the Law, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death.

Romans 7:8-10 NKJV

Carla is the Founder and President of the New Mexico Business Coalition. Established in 2009, the New Mexico Business Coalition (NMBC) is a nonpartisan voice for business owners, employees, and individuals in New Mexico. Carla said, “As soon as the Governor ordered businesses closed down (March 2020), the New Mexico Business Coalition immediately asked her, “can we get a plan to reopen? We have to be talking about this and figuring out how we are going to reopen.” She followed up the NMBC’s request of the Governor by working with the NM Legislature. “I wrote the legislation that got passed to protect employers from the unemployment insurance skyrocketing as we anticipated.” Contact Carla and the New Mexico Business Coalition through their website https://nmbizcoalition.org/ or call (505) 836-4223.
