Don’t Waste the Wilderness (Exodus 13:17–18)

Sometimes God leads us the long way, not the fast way. The delay might not be denial—it might be for your development. In this short devotional, discover how God uses wilderness seasons to prepare you for the promise.

Episode 9 – God is With You in the Fire

Even when life feels like a furnace, you are not alone. In Daniel 3:25, we see that God doesn’t always remove the fire—but He promises to be in it with us. This episode of Less Than 5 Devos will encourage you to stand firm, trust His presence, and remember that His power shines brightest in the flames.

Obedience Unlocks Blessing | Less Than 5 Devos

God’s blessings aren’t random—they’re often tied to simple, faithful steps of obedience. In this episode, we unpack Deuteronomy 28:1–2 and see how small “yeses” to God can open the door to big blessings. From Peter’s simple act of casting his net in Luke 5 to the everyday choices we face, obedience positions us for what only God can do.

Listen in and be encouraged to take that step God’s been prompting you to take—because the blessing isn’t just in the outcome, it’s in the obedience itself.

Episode 7 – Stay in Your Lane

Galatians 6:4–5 reminds us to focus on our own race. But in a world full of scrolling, comparison, and self-doubt, that’s easier said than done.

In this episode of Less Than 5 Devos, we expose the subtle lies of comparison and find truth in God's Word. Comparison says, “You’re behind.” God says, “I’ve ordered your steps.”

 It’s time to stop looking side to side and fix our eyes on the race marked out for us. Because your purpose isn’t found in their lane—it’s found in yours.

 Hit play. Stay grounded. And remember: five minutes in God’s Word can shift your day.

Weekend Faith Boost – You Don’t Have to Start Alone
Ezra 5:1–2

This weekend’s reminder: You’re not meant to build alone.
When Zerubbabel picked up the plumb line to rebuild the temple, Jeshua was right there with him—and the prophets were actively supporting the work.

If you’re standing at the edge of starting something, but feel overwhelmed—this one’s for you.
Let this be your reminder to step into community, reach out, and find those who will come alongside you in the work.

 Listen in and be reminded:
• You don’t have to start alone.
• God surrounds vision with support.
• Faith grows stronger in community.

Midweek Encouragement – God Finds Joy In Your Start

What if God celebrated your first step—not your finish line? In this episode, we dive into Zechariah 4:10, where God reminds us: “Do not despise small beginnings…”

Whether you're picking up a Bible again, stepping into a new season, or finally chasing that God-dream—know this: God rejoices to see the work begin.

We’ll also look at how David’s humble beginnings as a shepherd laid the foundation for his future as king.

Start small. Start scared. Just start.
And let heaven celebrate with you.

 Episode 6 – Small Steps Matter

Feel like your progress is too small to make a difference? God doesn’t see it that way.

 Zechariah 4:10 says:

“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.”

Every step of faith you take—no matter how small—brings joy to the heart of God. He’s not just celebrating your victories at the finish line; He’s celebrating the courage it takes to start.

In this 5-minute devo, we’ll explore:

• Why faithfulness in small things matters.

• How David’s quiet days as a shepherd prepared him for Goliath.

• Why your small steps of obedience can lead to big breakthroughs.

 Say this today: “I will not despise small beginnings. My faithfulness matters to God.”

Weekend Faith Boost: Purpose & Community
You were created on purpose and for a purpose—just like David.

Before David ever became king of Israel, he was a shepherd boy with a heart after God’s own heart. His purpose wasn’t just to defeat Goliath but to prepare the way for the King of kings through his lineage. And David didn’t walk that purpose alone—he had Jonathan, Samuel, and the mighty men of God to stand with him.

 Ephesians 2:10 reminds us:

“We are God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

This episode will inspire you to:

• Walk confidently in God’s purpose for your life.

• Lean into community, because purpose grows stronger together.

If you don’t have a home church, we’d love for you to join us at Victory Church, in Tulsa Oklahoma, either in person or online.
