New church plants often begin with vision, faith, and a deep sense of calling—but they also come with real challenges. This devotional reflects on how easy it can be to assume a new church has everything under control, especially when leaders don’t openly ask for help. Over time, good intentions can quietly turn into distance or apathy, even when the need is still very real. The reminder here is simple and important: church planting is never meant to be done alone. God uses many people in different roles—some to plant, some to water—but He alone brings the growth. Even when we don’t know exactly how to get involved, prayer is always a meaningful place to start. Interceding for a church plant, its leaders, and its community is not a passive act; it’s participation in God’s work. This devotional encourages believers to be proactive rather than waiting for an invitation. Support doesn’t always look like finances or formal volunteering. Sometimes it’s faithful prayer, encouragement, or simply staying attentive to what God might be prompting you to do. When we care about what God is building in our communities, we reflect His heart for the Church—and trust Him to bring growth in His timing and His way.

No matter what! (1-Minute Devotion) – Jesus is always there! While we might not understand the “why” of the situation, we can always trust in His holy and perfect care for us. Regardless. #toughquestionsforgod #questionsforgod #godwhereareyou #godineedyou

When life feels like an unrelenting battle—when you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and desperate for God to intervene—Psalm 28 reminds us that we don’t have to rely on our own strength. David’s prayer begins with a raw plea for God to listen, a reminder that it’s okay to bring honest distress to the Lord. In seasons where the “arrows” feel constant and the mountains seem immovable, God is not distant or indifferent. He is strength for the weary, a resting place for exhausted souls, and a shield in the middle of attack. Tonight’s meditation invites you to lean into God’s presence, trust His protection, and rest in the truth that He carries you when you can’t take another step.

Fruit is seasonal—and so are we. This devotional begins with a simple picture of how produce changes depending on the time of year: fresh, vibrant options at a farmer’s market in spring and summer, and a different kind of supply in winter. That rhythm becomes a gentle metaphor for the spiritual life. Jesus calls us to bear fruit that lasts, but what happens when we feel like we’re in a “winter season”—spiritually dry, emotionally worn down, or stuck in a place that feels barren? John 15 reminds us that fruitfulness isn’t ultimately about our effort—it’s about abiding. Jesus is the Vine, and we are the branches. When life feels hard and hope feels thin, the temptation is to fixate on the season itself—how long it’s lasting, how painful it is, and why it won’t change. But the devotional offers a reframing: winter can actually be a time of growth beneath the surface. Just as roots grow deeper during colder months, difficult seasons can strengthen our spiritual foundation if we keep our eyes on Christ and stay connected to Him. The warning is also real: isolation is dangerous in winter. When we disconnect from God’s Word and from other believers, despair can set in, and we become more vulnerable to discouragement. That’s why community matters. The devotional encourages finding “oaks of righteousness”—faithful people who can pray with you, check in, study Scripture alongside you, and help keep you anchored when your own strength feels limited. Sometimes, when you’re struggling to hold onto the Vine, God uses others to help nourish you with encouragement and truth. The hope is this: if you continue to abide in Jesus, fruit will come again. Even if the season doesn’t change quickly, God is still tending you. The Vine-dresser cares for you, chose you, and intends for your life to bear lasting fruit—no matter what season you’re in. Main Takeaways Spiritual life has seasons; “winter” seasons can feel barren but can still be deeply formative. Fruitfulness comes from abiding in Jesus, not striving in your own strength. Winter can be a time for roots to grow deeper—strength that forms beneath the surface. Isolation makes difficult seasons harder; community provides nourishment and encouragement. God is faithful in every season and can produce lasting fruit through your life, even in suffering. Today’s Bible Verse “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.” - John 15:16, ESV

A couple made a selfless decision to sacrifice in order to help an injured pup, and it was beautiful. They put their plans on hold to attend to a canine who badly needed medical attention. Watch this short but heartwarming clip to hear what this lovely couple did to help a dog in poor condition. Make sure you have a box of tissues nearby because you’ll probably need them.

People tend to look out for themselves, to meet their needs and wants before helping others. It’s horrible to admit, but it’s true and is human nature. If we’re all being honest, we are all selfish at times and can probably name specific instances when we were more concerned about ourselves than others.

How better could this world be if people weren’t so selfish? What would happen if people weren’t motivated solely by what they can get out of this or that?  For starters, the crime rate probably wouldn’t be so high, and places like Washington, D.C., and other places of power wouldn’t be so despised.

A clip posted on YouTube gives us a glimpse of how much better our world could be if me, myself and I weren’t the primary concern for most people. That’s because a couple used the money they had saved to fund their upcoming wedding to pay for an injured dog’s badly needed medical procedure.

A post on social media prompted the couple to help Maple, who had been hit by a car. Maple had suffered two broken legs. The young couple did what they could for the animal, taking it to the vet. But that’s when they learned that the procedure to fix Maple’s legs was going to cost thousands.

“We kind of looked at each other, and we’re like, ‘Hey, we have money saved for our wedding. Let’s just use that. We can always figure something out later, but this girl needs our help, and she needs it now,” the woman in the clip said.

What a completely selfless act of love to put the animal’s needs ahead of their own wants.

Philippians 2:3 “Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self, let everyone take others to be better than himself;”

Faithfulness rarely feels dramatic. More often, it looks like showing up, serving well, and doing what’s right when no one is applauding. In tonight’s episode, Candice Lucey reflects on how a “newbie” in the workplace is evaluated—not only by skill, but by consistency, humility, and willingness in the small, unglamorous tasks. In the same way, God often places us in everyday assignments that feel unnoticed, yet they matter deeply in His kingdom. Whether your mission field feels small or your efforts seem unseen, the Lord is attentive. He sees the quiet obedience, the steady kindness, and the faithful witness. Tonight’s meditation invites you to trust that God multiplies what you offer—and that there are no small acts of faithfulness when they’re given to Him.

Forgiveness can feel impossible when someone has truly hurt you—especially when the offense was intentional, public, or deeply damaging. Today’s devotional doesn’t pretend forgiveness is easy. It acknowledges the very real emotions that rise up when we’ve been lied about, betrayed, or harmed, and it names what many of us experience: bitterness and grudges can quietly take root and begin to affect our walk with God.

God doesn’t ask you to sprint through faith, striving to prove yourself or keep up with impossible expectations. He invites you to walk with Him—steadily, humbly, and with a heart that stays close. This episode reflects on Micah 6:8 and the simple, life-giving pace God desires for His children. When we feel overwhelmed, distracted, or worn out, the Lord gently reorients us: live with integrity, choose mercy as a first response, and let humility guide your steps. Tonight, you’re reminded that God delights in journeying with you—no frantic running, just faithful companionship and a sustainable walk shaped by justice, mercy, and humility. Main Takeaways: Discover why God’s invitation is to walk with Him, not to live in frantic striving. Learn how Micah 6:8 gives practical guidance for a steady, faithful life: justice, mercy, and humility. Be encouraged to slow down and pursue a healthier spiritual pace that leaves room for rest and attentiveness to God. Reflect on how physical walking can become a simple reminder of the steady rhythm God desires for your faith.

There are seasons when you feel completely spent—yet life still demands more. The devotional opens in that familiar space: deadlines piling up, responsibilities pressing in, and exhaustion that doesn’t pause just because you need rest. The author describes hitting the wall after a full summer of parenting and work demands, realizing that even with the desire to recover, life sometimes doesn’t offer the extra cushion of time or energy we wish we had. When you’re depleted, determination can feel like it’s run out—and yet you still need strength to keep going.

When culture shifts and everything feels uncertain, there is steady ground beneath your feet: Jesus Christ does not change. Tonight’s episode reminds us that God’s truth isn’t shaped by trends, fear, or public opinion—it remains consistent, dependable, and life-giving. Through a powerful illustration drawn from the Titanic, we’re invited to consider both the tragedy of being left without rescue and the stunning hope of the gospel: God’s truth is an eternal lifeline, and it is meant to be shared. Even imperfect people are called to carry it, not because we are flawless, but because Jesus is faithful. As the world feels chaotic, you can rest under the trustworthy arms of your Savior—anchored in the promise that truth will prevail.

Remember me. (1-Minute Devotion) – What a request the thief on the cross next to Jesus made of Him. Have you done the same …? #toughquestionsforgod #questionsforgod #dailydevotion #devotional

Catherine O’Hara revealed the role she hopes she's best remembered for, and it’s heartwarming. The legendary actress unexpectedly passed away at the age of 71. Watch the short but tear-jerking clip to hear Catherine mention the role that obviously meant the most to her, and make sure you have the box of tissues nearby.

Death is something that we will all experience at some time. No one will be able to avoid it, regardless of fame, fortune or any other characteristic or distinguishing factor. To make matters even worse, no one knows how much time they have left on Earth. It could be 40, 50 years or 40, 50 minutes. We have no way of knowing.

That’s why it’s essential to make the time that we have been given count. Sure, we all have goals, and we want to accomplish things in life, but at the end of our lives, will that even matter? How many people do you know at the end of their lives, on their deathbeds, wish they had spent more time at work? Everyone will wish they had spent more time with their family and friends.

In a clip posted on social media, someone caught up with Catherine at the airport. The man behind the camera asked the “Home Alone” and “Beetlejuice” star what role she hoped she would be most remembered for, and her sweet, heartwarming answer will likely bring a tear to your eye.

“When all is said and done, which one role would you most like to be remembered for?” the gentleman asks her.

“Mother of my children,” the late actress responded.

At the end of the day, isn’t that what matters most? Family is everything, and we are all only given so much time with family members, so we must make the most of it.

James 4:14 “When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone.”

Gratitude can feel impossible when life is painful. When loss is loud, when circumstances feel unfair, and when your heart is carrying more than it can hold, “be thankful” can sound like an unreachable goal. This devotional doesn’t minimize that reality—it starts in the middle of it. The author describes sitting beside her terminally ill daughter on a beautiful day she couldn’t enjoy outside, and the ache of watching someone you love miss what feels so simple. In that raw moment, her prayer was honest—more like a complaint than praise. But then the focus shifts to a quiet gift: sunshine through the window. God didn’t change the circumstance in an instant, but He brought light into the room. That small detail became a turning point, not because it erased the grief, but because it revealed God’s kindness in the middle of it. When we’re overwhelmed by what we can’t have, we can miss what God is still giving—His presence, a moment of peace, the gift of being together, strength when we’re weak, and reminders of His care that show up in unexpected ways. The devotional connects this to Nehemiah, where God’s people were rebuilding under pressure and threat. Their situation wasn’t easy or resolved—but they still stopped to give thanks and celebrate with joy. Their worship wasn’t based on perfect conditions. It was rooted in God’s faithfulness. And the line that echoes through the entire devotional is this: God turns curses into blessings. That “however” is a holy interruption—reminding us that even when we see only hardship, God is still working redemption. Gratitude, then, isn’t about forcing cheerful feelings. It’s about anchoring your heart in who God is. Even if your thanks is weak and trembling, it still matters—because the God you’re thanking is steady, present, and faithful. And even in the darkest rooms, He still sends light through windows you didn’t know were there. Main Takeaways Gratitude isn’t denial of pain; it’s noticing God’s presence within it. It’s easy to fixate on what’s missing and miss the gifts God is still giving. God can bring light into dark places, even when circumstances don’t change right away. Thanksgiving doesn’t require perfect conditions—it’s rooted in God’s faithfulness. God is able to turn curses into blessings, even when we can’t see how yet. Today’s Bible Verse "The leaders of the Levites were... to give thanks, according to the commands of David the man of God... At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites were sought out... to celebrate joyfully the dedication with songs of thanksgiving... The sound of rejoicing in Jerusalem could be heard far away." - Nehemiah 12:24, 27, 43 (Our God, however, turned the curse into a blessing in Nehemiah 13:2b). Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Turn my whispered complaints into weak but willing praise… Turn my curse into a blessing, as only You can.”

When life becomes unfamiliar and the future feels uncertain, fear can rise quickly. In this episode, Clarence Haynes Jr. reflects on walking through unexpected job loss and being reminded—sometimes in a quiet whisper—that God is present in the unknown. Uncertainty may be unsettling, but it can also become a place where trust grows deeper, and faith becomes more real. God’s promises remain steady even when circumstances feel unstable, and His Word reminds us that we are never alone. Tonight’s meditation invites you to name your unknowns, notice how God is providing even now, and rest in the promise that He will be with you until the situation changes—and even if it doesn’t right away.
