Happy New Year!! I'm Craig Denison, author and founder of First15. 

 

A growing relationship with God comes when you experience him every day. So thank you so much for starting your year with us. 

 

I’ve got a really exciting announcement with what you can expect from First15 this year. 

 

One is, we’re expanding the writers that are contributing to the daily devotionals. There will still be a lot of content written by me, but this month we’re kicking the year off with a focus on spiritual awakening actually written by my Dad, Jim Denison. He’s one of the smartest and most heart-felt people I’ve ever known. It was a privilege growing up with him as a father. And I’m really excited for you to get to experience God with his content as a guide this month. 

 

Along with some new content, you’ll hear a new voice on the podcast reading the days devotional. That’ll help give consistency to your experience with God, not making First15 about the author, but about creating space for God to fill. 

 

Happy New Year. May God bless you as you seek him this morning, and every morning.

For our final day of this week, we’re going to ask God to awaken the hearts of our nation and culture. The need for a move of God has become more obvious than ever, yet he often moves in response to the faithful prayers of his people. Let us be those people today and ask for the great awakening our world so desperately needs.

 

Our Scripture for today comes from 2 Chronicles 7:14, and today's worship is Holy Water by We The Kingdom.
