  • Max Lucado Daily Devotional - Imagine Life Without Fear

    Listen to Today's Devotion

    In Matthew 8:26, Jesus asks his disciples, “Why are you afraid?” At first we wonder if he’s serious, but he’s dead earnest. Here is how Matthew remembered the trip: “Jesus got into a boat, and his followers went with him. A great storm arose on the lake so that waves covered the boat” (Matthew 8:23-24 NCV).

    The story sends the not-so-subtle and not-too-popular reminder that getting on board with Christ can mean getting soaked with Christ. Disciples can expect rough seas and stout winds. Jesus said, “In this world you will have tribulation” (John 16:33 NKJV). Not might, may, or could, but you will.

    But what if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? This is the possibility behind Jesus’ question. Imagine your life without fear.

  • The Bible for Kids Podcast - S8Ep4: Sarah Philpott

    This week on the podcast, hosts Mike Nawrocki and Tricia Goyer sit down with author Sarah Philpott to talk about her new children’s book, Wake Up, Little Seed—a beautifully crafted Christian board book that blends faith, farming, and plant science for young readers.

    From seed to table, Wake Up, Little Seed (Tyndale, February 2026) is an interactive lift-the-flap board book that introduces toddlers and preschoolers to real-world plant life cycles through the lens of God’s purposeful design. With each turn of the page, children discover that growth doesn’t happen by accident—it follows a thoughtful plan created by God, the Master of all creation.

    Through the eyes of farmers and their children, readers journey from preparing the soil and planting seeds to nurturing crops and celebrating the harvest. Along the way, kids learn how God provides for our daily needs and invites people to participate in caring for His creation. The story is a joyful celebration of growth, faith, stewardship, and the essential role farmers play in feeding the world.

    Wake Up, Little Seed is a faith-filled read-aloud that’s perfect for families, churches, and Christian classrooms. This engaging children’s book features:

    • Interactive lift-the-flaps printed on both sides for extra discovery
    • A clear, kid-friendly explanation of plant life cycles and basic plant science
    • Charming illustrations of a farm family, crops, and farm animals
    • Biblical themes that reinforce God’s provision, design, and care

    Whether you’re looking for a Christian board book about farming, a faith-based introduction to science, or a meaningful gift for young children, Wake Up, Little Seed is a delightful resource for growing hearts and minds.

  • The Storyteller - Chester Martin (Mi'kmaq) Part 3
    Chester found out that, just because Jesus saves us from our past and gives us hope for the future, life can still be hard. Difficult challenges and choices are part of the journey. For Chester, this included something he was never able to do before... forgive his father for years of abuse and neglect.

  • God on the Go by AllMomDoes - Quick to Serve, Slow to Expect (Quick and Slow)
    Growing up with those “everyone gets punished” moments at school made me big on fairness as a mom, but I’ve realized that sometimes my obsession with keeping things even has slowed down our willingness to simply serve one another. As I look at Jesus’ call to go the extra mile and Paul’s reminder in Philippians 2:4 to look beyond ourselves, I’m learning that quick, quiet service—without expecting anything back—is one of the sweetest ways we can love like Him.

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - February 2nd - Proverbs 1:8-9
    Proverbs 1:8-9
    My child, listen when your father corrects you. Don’t neglect your mother’s instruction. What you learn from them will crown you with grace and be a chain of honour around your neck.
    I would be fascinated to know what you remember your parents teaching you. Their words shape the whole of our lives. I clearly remember my father insisting that we show “instant obedience”, presumably because we so often failed to do it! I remember my mother giving us great encouragement when we were kind to others. My parents are no longer with us, but their influence lives on. I can still hear their words of guidance, encouragement and warning.
    When we became foster parents a few years ago, we were encouraged to spend a lot of time reflecting on parenting skills. Bringing up our own three children we didn’t reflect much on the process – we just did it! Parents are never perfect, and I’ve heard it said that what we need to be is “good enough parents”. I like that expression. We won’t always get it right, but because of our love for our children we will, with God’s help, always seek to be good enough.
    Parents are referred to repeatedly throughout the book of Proverbs, and the key theme is discipline. This could easily sound harsh, but it is in fact a loving word. No parent who truly loves their child will let them do whatever they wish. The result would inevitably be disastrous. Loving discipline gives security and direction to children and builds firm foundations for the whole of their lives.
    Families take many shapes and these verses remind us that we need to do everything we can to support family life. The early years are absolutely crucial for the whole of life, and each of us needs to invest in the lives of children in whatever way we can.
    Question
    What opportunities do you have to support family life?
    Prayer
    Loving Father, give us your strength and grace so that we will be able to have the right influence on the children in our lives, and support those who have the awesome responsibility of being parents. Amen

  • The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley - Agape love? Hyper-grace? Biblical or dangerous?

    Can true believers still struggle with fear? How do God's love and God's grace relate to each other? Why does everyone seem to agree about love but then divide over grace? Is the teaching about abiding in John 15 really about losing salvation? Why does Romans say the gifts and the calling of God are "without repentance"? This gospel is so incredible! I just want my friends to get it, and it's frustrating when they don't!
