This Is What God Is Like | Come Close, Part 2
on September 29th, 2026
What comes to mind when you think about the heart of God toward you? Jesus did more than tell us about the Father. He showed us what the Father is like through the way He loved, healed, forgave, corrected, and welcomed people. When our picture of God becomes distorted, Jesus gives us somewhere to look. If God has ever felt distant, disappointed, or difficult to understand, today’s devotional will invite you to see the Father through the life of Jesus.

The Name Jesus Chose | Come Close, Part 1
on September 28th, 2026
What if greatness looks completely different than we have been taught to believe? Jesus had every right to claim the highest position, yet He repeatedly called Himself the Son of Man and chose the posture of a servant. His life shows us that true greatness is not found in recognition, but in faithfully loving and serving others. If you’ve been measuring your worth by position, accomplishment, or the approval of others, today’s devotional will invite you to see greatness through the eyes of Jesus. Read More

Still Burning | Run Free, Part 10
on September 25th, 2026
What we pass to the next generation is shaped by more than what we say—it is shaped by what we live. Hebrews 12 closes with the reminder that our God is a consuming fire, and that fire should still be evident in the way we worship, pray, obey, love, and pursue Him. The goal is not to preserve yesterday’s methods, but to carry forward a living faith that burns brightly enough for another generation to see. If you want your life to leave behind more than words, this devotional will challenge you to examine what your priorities are teaching those who come after you. Read More

What Cannot Be Shaken | Run Free, Part 9
on September 24th, 2026
Change has a way of revealing what we have been depending on. Hebrews 12 reminds us that while roles, responsibilities, methods, and seasons can shift, God’s Kingdom remains unshaken. Sometimes what moves around us helps us see more clearly what has been holding us all along. If you are walking through change or transition, this devotional will encourage you to trust what remains and rest your security in God. Read More

What Are We Running Toward? | Run Free, Part 8
on September 23rd, 2026
Freedom is not just about carrying less—it is about following God more fully. Hebrews 12 reminds us that through Jesus we have been brought near to God, and that nearness should shape the way we move into what is next. The goal is not simply a lighter life, but a life that is more surrendered, attentive, and aligned with His presence. If you are in a season of letting go or realignment, this devotional will encourage you to remember what you are ultimately running toward. Read More

Watch What Takes Root | Run Free, Part 7
on September 22nd, 2026
What grows beneath the surface eventually shows up in the way we live. Hebrews 12 warns us to look carefully at what is taking root in our hearts, because unresolved hurt can quietly become bitterness, cynicism, or distrust. God’s grace does not deny what happened, but it keeps yesterday’s wounds from determining what grows in us tomorrow. If you want to move forward with a healthy heart, this devotional will encourage you to guard what takes root and cultivate what reflects the heart of God. Read More
