In Anchored, a different speaker each week shares a passage of Scripture that has become a personal anchor—a truth they’ve returned to again and again throughout their lives. In Part 2, Jean Sohn shares why Romans 12:2 has been that passage for her. After years of centering her identity on achievement and positive thinking, Jean discovered that while those things could encourage her, they couldn't heal the deeper wounds that surfaced when life became too heavy for her to carry alone. Through her story, we’re reminded that renewing our minds isn’t about trying harder to believe something good about ourselves. It’s about choosing, again and again, to anchor ourselves in what God says is true about us, even when our circumstances say otherwise.

In Anchored, a different speaker each week shares a passage of Scripture that has become a personal anchor—a truth they’ve returned to again and again throughout their lives. In Part 1, Reed Moore shares why Luke 7:36–50 has been that passage for him. Through the story of the sinful woman and Simon the Pharisee, we’re reminded that the more aware we are of God’s grace, the more it shapes the way we love God and the people around us. As we begin this series, we’re encouraged to find the passages of Scripture that keep us anchored when life tries to pull us off course.

The founders believed liberty was worth risking everything for, but they also understood it came with a hidden requirement. Two hundred fifty years later, that requirement matters more than ever.

Many Christians spend their lives measuring themselves by whether or not they are obeying all the rules. That’s not what Jesus intended.

Somewhere along the way, many of us began treating God's love and approval as something to earn. That assumption quietly shapes our relationship with God more than we realize.

We often think freedom comes from having fewer obligations, but some of the most meaningful moments in life begin when we embrace a weight we never asked to carry.

Long before the storm arrived, Noah made a decision about whose wisdom he would trust.

Chaos rarely arrives all at once. It often begins with ordinary choices that seem reasonable until the consequences finally surface.

Life can get confusing quickly. Between pressure, fear, relationships, and big decisions, it’s easy to feel lost or unsure of where to turn. In John 10, Jesus calls himself the Good Shepherd, reminding us that he is our guide and protector, and he wants to lead us into the life he created us for. This devotional explores how Jesus still speaks through Scripture, his Spirit, and the people he places around us—and why we can trust him even when life gets hard.

In Part 3 of Sit, Walk, Stand: A Study in Ephesians, Reed closes out by asking: “What does it look like to stand firm when life pushes back?” In Ephesians 6, Paul reminds us that the Christian life is not only about knowing who we are in Christ and learning how to live it out—it’s also a fight to stand firm in it. Through the armor of God, Paul shows us that we don’t stand in our own strength but in what Christ has already done for us. As fear, temptation, accusation, and lies push against our identity, we’re invited to stand firm in who God says we are.
