  • Max Lucado Daily Devotional - Those Who Can’t See

    Listen to Today's Devotion

    From Heaven’s viewpoint, our earth is populated by sightless people. They do not see the meaning of life or the love of God. How else do we explain the confusion and chaos? How else do we explain the constant threat of world war, plagues of hunger, racism, and the Holocaust of the unborn? Billions of people simply cannot see.

    The scripture says, “The devil who rules this world has blinded the minds of those who do not believe.” They cannot see the light of the good news, the good news about the glory of Christ who is exactly like God. We need a spiritual ophthalmologist. We need Jesus to do for us what he did for the man on the side of the Jerusalem road. He restored his sight and he will do the same for us. Remember, my friends, you are never alone.

  • Max Lucado Daily Devotional - From Blind to Sight

    Listen to Today's Devotion

    Christians love to sing “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I’m found. I was blind, but now I see.”

    Blind. Blind to the promise of eternal life. Blind to the provider of life. We relate to the words of the was-blind beggar: “One thing I do know. I was blind, but now I see.”

    His story is our story. Perhaps that’s why John was in no hurry to tell it. He needed only twelve verses to describe how water became wine, but he dedicated a whopping forty-one verses to depicting how Jesus found and cured and matured the blind man. Now why? Among the explanations is this one. What Jesus did physically for the blind beggar, he desires to do spiritually for all people—to restore our sight.

    Remember my friends, you are never alone.

  • Our Daily Bread Podcast | Our Daily Bread - Carried Through

    Lillie Cunningham is 110 years old, yet she isn’t reliant on a cane or walker. She does rely on Scripture, however, which she reads every morning and night—and attends church every Sunday. When she considers her life, she states, “I just always had faith and trust in God that he was going to carry us through.”

  • Big Swings Only - How to Talk About Money Without Ruining Your Relationships - ft. NerdWallet’s Sean Pyles & Elizabeth Ayoola

    You don't need to be rich or a finance expert to start building wealth. NerdWallet's Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola are living proof.

    ⁠Kwame's episode on NerdWallet’s Smart Money Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3JsoelBqytmMXRmcA2qtK7?si=-gs3-9uMR2aZ16PNaKX3bg⁠

    In this episode of Big Swings Only, Kwame Christian sits down with the co-hosts of NerdWallet's Smart Money Podcast. Neither of them started out in finance. They learned it on the job, then used what they learned to transform their own lives. Elizabeth went from $0 saved for retirement as a newly divorced single mom to real financial stability, and Sean went from writing about debt to becoming a Certified Financial Planner.
    We break down the money myths holding you back, the biggest lie on FinTok right now, how to automate your savings, and the money conversations most people avoid. Plus, a lightning round where Sean and Elizabeth go head-to-head on splitting the bill, pay transparency, and whether buy now, pay later is a tool or a trap.
