Devotional Guest Post: Blake Hodge Nehemiah 12-13; 2 Corinthians 5; Proverbs 13 Thoughts from Nehemiah 12 & 13: If we were being honest, we see a list of names in Scripture and we often gloss over it. They are usually names we can’t pronounce, and we are so removed from their stories, that we use […]

Devotional Guest Post: Katherine Brey  Ezra 8-9; I Corinthians 14; Proverbs 6 Several years ago, I heard a worship song with two lines that struck me so profoundly that I cried instantly. Simple, yet direct and, for me, thought-provoking-  Break my heart for what breaks Yours Everything I am for your kingdom’s cause The song […]

Ezra 4-5; 1 Corinthians 12; Proverbs 4 There will always be opposition to the Word of the Lord. After all, we are in a war. It is kingdom against kingdom, just as Jesus said. And so, if you find yourself in a wrestling match, do not lose hope. Do not despair. Fight! Fight to keep […]

2 Kings 21-22; 1 Corinthians 8; Psalm 150 How did we get here? How are we so off course? The church itself is lost. We can sing our songs and run our programs, but we need more than that: We must contend for the faith that was delivered to us (Jude 3). We must come […]

2 Kings 19-20; 1 Corinthians 7; Psalm 149 Over the last few weeks, reading through the Old Testament together, we have wrestled with our understanding of the true prophetic.

It’s supposed to provoke and heal, expose, cut, and divide. The Word is reading us, revealing our innermost thoughts. […]

2 Kings 9-10; 1 Corinthians 2; Psalm 144 An open letter to the charismatic church: What are we wearing? We are being exposed. The church is being sifted and purified. Things are heating up. The Lord is coming after the dross, and He will not relent until He has it all. (Let the reader understand) […]

Are you dealing with immature people? Is it doing its intended work in you? Ugh. Church is hard. Building together, working through issues as they arise, is tough work. Partnering with God in ministry, marriage, and business is not for the faint of heart, to be sure. We want what we want, we see things […]

Reflecting on Romans 14, we see a clear directive: “Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him.” Who are we to judge another’s servant? Each person stands or falls before their own master, […]

Guest Devotional Post: Juniah Ramirez 1 Kings 19-20; Romans 12; Psalm 138 I recently immersed myself in the latest episodes of ‘The Chosen,’ and the intensity of the storyline truly captivated me. Despite its controversy, I hold a genuine affection for the show, recognizing its place as biblical fiction rather than a replacement for the […]
