How Can I Trust God When I Don’t Understand His Ways?

Lysa TerKeurst

4M

This is an adapted article from Lysa TerKeurst’s book, I Want to Trust You, But I Don’t.  Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) I’ve been studying the topic of trust lately. And what I’ve realized is that I attach a great deal of my trust in God to my desire for things to turn out like I think they should.  I want the goodness…

A Liturgy for the Weary

Giovanna Bovero

3M

You’re tired, friend. Physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally. No matter how much sleep you get, your soul yearns for rest. True rest. This liturgy is for you and yours, seeking a place to lay your head amid chaos and disruption. God, my heart aches for you. I long for your steady, constant, and peaceful presence.   When I notice destruction on all sides, I look to you for refuge. When the voices around me sound increasingly overwhelming, I search for your voice to be heard above all else.

On the Third Day: Exploring Jesus’ Resurrection

Dr. Ben Simpson

6M

The resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul emphasizes its importance: “If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:13–14). Later in the same passage, he writes, “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.” (1 Corinthians 15:17).  It’s important to note that Jesus’s resurrection differs from resuscitation. While figures like…

How to Talk to Your Kids About Including Others

Emily Gross

4M

Children often lean towards exclusivity at different stages and for various reasons. It starts with preschoolers saying who can or can’t sit with them at their little tables; then, it becomes playground clubs in elementary school. Middle and high school can bring a constant pull to jockey for position, to be invited to the event, or to be added to the group chat.  As parents entrusted with pointing their children in the way of Jesus, we want to call them to more. We want to cultivate includers.  Most exclusion is rooted in insecurity, and a scarcity…
