CBM Intern-A Step Of Faith
By CBM National Intern, Andrew Willis -
Applying for this internship with CBM National was a big step for me in faith and trusting God. I was never one for joining a program without knowing the outcome or whether or not I would be financially stable or not. Just in the past three months, God has already taught me to rely on Him more, and He always provides for me in so many ways. I have become more confident in public speaking, teaching, studying, and sharing my testimony. Every time I get nervous of an opportunity to speak in front of a crowd or just feel ...
Five Things Teaching Has Taught Me About the Teacher
CBM National intern, Paul Daly -
These past few weeks, I have been under the tutelage of Mrs. Judy Virgili, of CBM’s Cornerstone Ministry Center in southwest PA. Judy is a pioneer in Released Time and a fantastic teacher to children.

My time at Cornerstone Ministry Center in Southwestern Pennsylvania has ...
Persevere: Keep Holding On
By CBM National intern, Devyn Polk -
Have you ever felt like giving up? Like it's not worth it? That no matter how hard you try, something goes wrong? I sure have! Here's a little bit of my story...
I was bullied a lot. You know, things like being called fat and ugly. It was really hard for me. I tried starving myself and had the desire to hurt myself in other ways. By the age of 17, after holding so much in, I felt like I needed to let it out somehow. So what did I do? I tried harming myself externally to try and relieve the internal pain. But the “relief” ...
The Revolving Door
By CBM National intern, Jordan Mancari -
Do you ever feel like you’re going through a revolving door? For me that's my life most of the time. Here recently, I've seen God consistently opening doors I've tried to close, such as teaching and leading worship. It came to the point that I told myself God didn’t want me to do anything as far as teaching goes. Well, the more I tried to close that door, the more I saw God swing it right back open. It wasn’t necessarily that I wanted the door closed, it was that I was afraid. 1 John 4:18 (ESV) says, “There ...
