  • The Storyteller - Josephine Genaille (Cree) Part 2
    With her kids taken away, her mom gone, and with no place to turn, Josephine found herself, lost, hopeless, and alone. She was standing at the junction looking to catch a ride but she didn't know which way to go. It was there in that desperate moment on the side of the road that she cried out to God. She said, "take this desire away to drink... and put a new desire in my heart"... and He did.

  • Max Lucado Daily Devotional - The Choice is Ours

    Listen to Today's Devotion

    In so many areas of life we have no choice. “It’s not fair,” we say. But the scales of life were forever tipped on the side of fairness when God planted a tree in the Garden of Eden. All complaints were silenced when Adam and his descendants were given free will, the freedom to make whatever eternal choice we desire. Any injustice in this life is offset by the honor of choosing our destiny in the next. Wouldn’t you agree?

    It would have been nice if God had let us order life like we order a meal. Would’ve been nice. But it didn’t happen. When it came to many details of your life on earth, you weren’t given a choice, a voice or a vote.  But when it comes to life after death, you were! In my book that seems like a good deal.  Wouldn’t you agree?

  • The Bible for Kids Podcast - S8Ep10: Adventures in the Friendly Forecast

    This week on the podcast, hosts Mike Nawrocki and Tricia Goyer talk with author Amanda Jess about her new Christian children’s book, Adventures in the Friendly Forest: A 30-Day Storybook Devotional to Help Kids Grow in Faith and Character.

    Step into the Friendly Forest, where lovable animal friends discover what it means to trust God through life’s challenges. This beautifully illustrated 30-day devotional for kids blends engaging storytelling, biblical truth, and meaningful reflection to help children grow in faith, character, and friendship.

    When a powerful storm changes life in the forest, Blaze, Hensley, Hoo, Cubby, and Flora must work together to rebuild their home and help their community. Along the way, they discover that the most important changes happen inside their hearts.

    Perfect for family devotions, bedtime reading, Sunday school, and homeschool, each daily reading includes:

    • A short story following the Friendly Forest adventures

    • A Bible verse for kids that connects the story to God’s Word

    • Simple reflection questions for children

    • A memorable truth statement to reinforce the day’s lesson

    • A short prayer to help kids talk with God

    Adventures in the Friendly Forest helps children understand that God is with them through every change, challenge, and new beginning and that those moments often help them grow into exactly who He created them to be.

    In this episode, Amanda Jess shares the heart behind the book, why storytelling is powerful for teaching kids about faith, and how parents can use story-based devotionals to nurture spiritual growth in their children.

  • God on the Go by AllMomDoes - You Are a Gift to Your Parents - YMD (You, Your Mom, and Your Dad)
    Some days it hits you—family is messy, beautiful, complicated, and somehow still one of God’s sweetest gifts. This reflection leans into that everyday reality, reminding us that the love between parents and children isn’t accidental but something God has been weaving into stories since the very beginning. It’s an invitation to see your own family, with all its quirks and imperfections, as part of that same grace‑filled design.

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - March 9th - 2 Timothy 2:25-26
    2 Timothy 2:25-26
    Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. Then they will come to their senses and escape from the devil’s trap.
    It’s not easy to speak with those who oppose you. Many people in that position are likely to be forceful and strident in their tone. They want to win their arguments and convince their opponents that they are absolutely wrong. However, Paul urged his young friend Timothy to be gentle as he confronted his many opponents, simply because the gentle approach is always the godly way. Trying to batter people down with our arguments might feel good, but it’s not the way of the Spirit. Paul knew that through gentleness the opponents might change their minds and learn the truth.
    Gentleness is a difficult word to handle because it might sound like weakness and softness, but true gentleness is strong and determined as well as gracious, kind and loving. Reading these verses reminds me of my most effective teachers. They were all very clear about the facts and what they believed, but they shared their learning with such kindness and gentleness that they also taught me about how to live.
    What impresses me here is that Timothy is being encouraged to engage with his opponents. I fear that we often keep away from people of other religions and philosophies. When was the last time you or your church asked for a meeting with people from your local mosque, Hindu temple or synagogue? It is so important for us to have conversations with people who are totally opposed to Christianity, and, as we do so, we need to remember that our approach should always be gentle.
    Question
    Do you regularly meet with people who oppose your Christian faith? If not, how do you think this could be arranged?
    Prayer
    Lord Jesus, help me to love those who are opposed to my Christian faith and to always speak to them with grace and gentleness. Amen

  • The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley - Addiction, Examination and Communion*

    I'm struggling with a gambling addiction and have tried to stop. What can I do? Why did Jesus ask the Father to forgive the people who crucified Him? A pastor of 36 years recently announced he has embraced an alternative lifestyle. I'm trying to wrap my mind around it! Who is being described in Revelation 22 as a person who subtracts or adds to prophecy? If we're totally forgiven people, why do some believers examine themselves each time before taking communion?
