Praise Is for Messy Mondays Too
Before you dive into your to-do list, pause. What if the most productive thing you could do today is praise? Even in the messiness of a Monday, God is worthy—and praise is your pathway into His presence. Let this reminder reset your focus before the rush begins.
Clean on the Outside, Cluttered on the Inside
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.
When God Speaks in a Whisper
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.
Let Worship Lead the Way
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.
Obedience in the Face of Uncertainty
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?
Midweek Reset: Worship When You’re Weary
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
When Enough is Never Enough: The Danger of Coveting and Comparison
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?
When You Don’t Feel Like You’re Growing, But You Are
Spiritual growth rarely happens overnight. It’s like planting a fruit tree—years of watering and waiting before you see any sign of fruit. But just because you don’t see change doesn’t mean nothing is happening. God is always at work, preparing you for the harvest. The real question is, will you be ready when the fruit comes?
How to Stay Faithful When Life Feels Ordinary
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.
Leading Without Emptying Yourself: Staying Spiritually Full in Ministry
Leadership can drain you. The expectations, the late-night calls, the never-ending needs—it all adds up. But God never intended for you to run on empty. If you're feeling exhausted, this is for you. Discover how to lead from a place of overflow rather than depletion
The Book Is in the House
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?
Pick Up Your Tools and Build Again
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.
Transforming Your Vision: Seeing Life Through God’s Eyes
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."
Are You Prepared for the Miracle?
What if God is ready to move, but He’s waiting on you to prepare? In 2 Kings 3, God told His people to dig ditches before they saw a drop of water. Faith doesn’t wait for signs—it prepares in expectation.
What If It’s Not What You Think?
Ever dreaded a conversation, expecting the worst—only to find out it wasn’t nearly as bad as you thought? Our minds love to jump to worst-case scenarios, but so often, the things we worry about never actually happen. Today’s post is a reminder to shift our focus from fear to trust.
Where Were You? Trusting God’s Sovereignty in Uncertainty
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.
The Unfinished Work
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.
The Power of Showing Up
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.
Growth Doesn’t Happen by Accident
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.
The Simple Joy of Small Accomplishments
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.
