Most people dread Mondays. But what if we reframed the start of the week as a fresh opportunity to serve, love, and lead well—right where we are?

After running my car through a wash, I realized how clean the outside looked—but the inside told a different story. Jesus warned us not to settle for surface-level faith. Today’s devotional challenges us to let God clean beneath the surface, where it matters most.

We often expect God to speak through the spectacular—fire from heaven, bold signs, or big breakthroughs. But what if the voice we’re waiting for is already speaking in the quiet? Elijah didn’t hear God in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire. He heard Him in a whisper. If we want to hear that whisper, we might need to quiet the noise around us. Here's how.

Worship is not just for Sunday mornings. It’s a weapon for life’s battles. When Jehoshaphat faced overwhelming odds, he didn’t start with strategy—he started with praise. This isn’t just an ancient story; it’s a reminder for us today. Worship shifts the focus from our struggles to God’s strength. Read more about the power of leading with worship.

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

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.

Last night, something unusual happened. I felt the need to open a physical Bible, free from notifications and distractions. That moment, combined with a simple hallway encounter and a dinner conversation, led to a powerful realization. The book has always been in the house—but was I truly opening it?

When life feels scattered and broken, God doesn’t just fix everything for us. He calls us to build. Inspired by Pastor Jentezen Franklin’s message at the CMN Conference, this reflection challenges us to pick up our tools, step into faith, and start rebuilding what the enemy has tried to tear down.

We all have our "But Lord…" moments—times when life doesn’t make sense and we’re left with more questions than answers. But in Job 38, God shifts the perspective: “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?” It’s a humbling reminder that even when we don’t understand, He is still in control.

In my hallway, there’s a small wall I never finished painting. Three years later, it’s still undone. But that unfinished wall reminded me of something bigger—God doesn’t leave His work in us incomplete. Even when we feel stuck, He is still moving.

Some of the most important things in life don’t happen because we feel inspired. They happen because we choose to show up, even when we don’t feel like it. Whether it’s faith, leadership, or personal growth, consistency matters.

Most people want to grow. Few people want to put in the work. Growth doesn’t happen by accident. It requires discipline, humility, and perseverance.

Sometimes, it’s the small, seemingly insignificant accomplishments that matter the most. Celebrating the small wins, like completing a puzzle or crossing off a task, reminds us of the steady progress we’re making every day. Learn why small steps are just as important as big wins in building a meaningful life.

I haven’t tuned out the news completely, but I have made a conscious effort to avoid the fear-driven, opinion-heavy reporting that stirs people up. It’s easy to fall into the trap of consuming negativity, and before we know it, we’re frustrated, anxious, and even angry. But Philippians 4:8 challenges us to be intentional about what we allow to shape our thoughts. So today, take a step back and ask: What am I feeding my mind?

This morning, I opened the Bible App’s verse of the day—John 16:33. Jesus doesn’t sugarcoat life. Trouble is inevitable, but so is His victory. What if peace isn’t about avoiding struggles but learning to trust the One who has already overcome? Let’s talk about that today.

Yesterday, I was sure we’d be home today. But the snow didn’t come like expected, and now I’m debating whether to venture out. Life is full of these moments—times when plans shift, and we’re left deciding how to respond. Maybe interruptions aren’t just obstacles; maybe they’re opportunities. Let’s talk about trusting God when things don’t go as planned.

Most of us have at least one friend we know would pick up the phone if we were really in a bind. But are we that kind of friend to others? This post explores what true friendship looks like and why loyalty matters more than convenience."

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.

Is there something you’ve been putting off? Procrastination has a way of creeping up on us, turning minor tasks into major problems. A story about a fallen gutter, a painful lesson, and biblical wisdom on diligence.
