Grace Fellowship Int’l [this site’s sponsor] appreciates the ministry endorsement of Dr. Charles Stanley and the opportunity we’ve had to do some networking over the years. In 1980, Dr. Charles Solomon presented the Exchanged Life Conference at First Baptist Church of Atlanta. Charles Stanley promoted the event, and Andy Stanley attended also. A couple of years later, our associates, Dr. Bill and Anabel Gilliam, presented the Victorious Christian Living conference there.

At InTouch.org Dr. Charles Stanley has a section on 30 Principles that have guided his life and ministry. Several of them are part of the spiritual DNA of the Grace Fellowship’s Discipleship Counseling message (See 1,3,12,15,24):

• Intimacy with God
• Reliability of God’s Word
• Peace through oneness with God
• Brokenness
• To live the Christian life is to allow Jesus to live His life in and through us

Our current audio podcast features a dynamic sermon by Charles Stanley entitled “Good News of Great Joy: Christ Your Life”. It was preached at FBA in the early 1980’s. You can listen online or download it here: gfiworld.sermon.net/main/main/21089854
First Baptist Atlanta developed a pastoral and lay counseling ministry using this Exchanged Life model. (Listen to the two-part interview about this with Dr. Al Scardino here.)
