reminder to pause, look up, and pay attention to the people and moments right in front of you.

Some decisions in life make perfect sense. Others feel impossible. When God calls us to step into the unknown, it’s rarely comfortable—but it’s always an invitation to trust Him more. Obedience before clarity has always been the pattern of faith. What step is God calling you to take today?

By midweek, life can feel exhausting. Worship shifts our focus from our circumstances to God’s goodness. Here’s why praising Him when we’re weary changes everything

Materialism is woven into American culture, but the real struggle might be something deeper—coveting. We often compare up, rarely down, and in doing so, we lose sight of what really matters. If we’re not careful, we let money, not God, become our security. What if we shifted our perspective?

Most of life isn’t spent in grand spiritual moments. It’s lived in the quiet routines of everyday life—grocery shopping, conversations around the table, small acts of love. But what if we saw these moments as opportunities to honor God? Learn how to stay faithful when life feels ordinary.

How do I really see? Yesterday, Pastor Juan shared a powerful message that challenged me to consider whether I’m viewing life through my own experiences or through God’s eyes. Am I seeing myself, others, and ministry the way He does? Join me as we explore how to shift our vision to align with God's truth."

It’s easy to think we’ve got everything under control—until a moment of unexpected humility reminds us otherwise. I learned that lesson the hard way when a vine, a swing, and my own overconfidence left me flat on my back. But pride’s fall isn’t just physical; it can affect every area of life.

Health and faith go hand in hand, but staying on track can be a challenge. After sickness hit our household, I reflected on the importance of being intentional about wellness before we feel run down. Read on for real talk about fitness struggles, faith, and getting back into healthy rhythms.

There’s a lot of sickness going around, and our household has not escaped it. It seems like it has been lingering, moving from one person to the next. While I have managed to avoid most of it, I may be dealing with a bit of a cough myself.

It’s frustrating to be slowed down when there’s so much to do. But sickness has a way of reminding us of something we often forget: We are not invincible.

We live in a fallen world where sickness and weakness are part of life. I’m not saying God caused this sickness, but I do know this: in every season, even the ones we wouldn’t choose, He is present, and He is faithful.

We often focus on what we should add to our lives—new habits, new commitments, new goals. But what if the key to spiritual growth isn’t just adding more, but letting go of what no longer belongs? Some things serve a purpose for a season, but if we hold onto them too long, they become a burden. Just like a gardener prunes branches for more fruitfulness, we need to clear out what is no longer serving us. What is God calling you to release?

Moses thought his staff was just a staff—nothing special. But in God’s hands, it became a tool for miracles. So often, we wait for something bigger before stepping into what God has already called us to do. But what if God isn’t asking you to wait? What if He’s asking you to use what’s already in your hands? Today’s devotional will challenge you to stop waiting and start trusting that when you surrender what you have, God can use it for something greater

Ever spoken too soon, reacted too quickly, or made a decision you instantly regretted? We’ve all been there. Wisdom isn’t just about knowing the right answer—it’s about knowing when to pause, pray, and seek God’s direction. Proverbs 4:7 reminds us, “The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.” Before you make your next big decision, take a moment to seek wisdom. It just might change everything.

We all search for joy, but too often, we chase after things that leave us feeling empty. True, lasting joy isn’t found in success, possessions, or even perfect circumstances—it’s found in God’s presence. Psalm 16:11 reveals the secret: “You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence there is fullness of joy.” When we seek Him first, we step into the kind of joy that doesn’t fade, no matter what life brings. Discover how to walk in that joy every day.

Revival doesn’t just happen—it starts with expectation. When we come to church not just to receive but to bring our worship, our faith, and our hunger for God’s presence, everything changes. Don’t wait for the right song or the perfect message—come ready, and you won’t leave the same.

Walking along the beach with my wife, I’m reminded of the beauty of surrendering to God’s greater plan. Life may not always go the way we expect, but His ways are always higher and better than ours.
