You can't pour from an empty cup. We're so good at loving others, but not so good at receiving love ourselves. Today we're learning that sustainable love comes from being filled by God's love first—before we pour out to everyone else.

This Week's Practice: Five Minutes to Receive Love Choose one verse about God's love for you. Read it slowly. Sit with it. Let it sink in. Practice receiving His love before you give to everyone else.

Start 2025 With Your Cup Full Four weeks of soul-tending practices have shown you there's a better way to live. Don't go back to depletion in the new year. Join the free TEND Bible Study Workshop on January 5th and learn a sustainable method with a community to support you. What would change if you knew how to receive from God before giving to everyone else? Register HERE.

Joy isn't a feeling you have to conjure up when life is good. Biblical joy is a deep-rooted confidence in God's faithfulness—even when you're exhausted. Today we're learning that joy and exhaustion can coexist, and His joy can be your strength when you have nothing left.

This Week's Practice: Name Three Evidences of God's Faithfulness Each day, identify three ways (big or small) that God was faithful to you. Write them down or speak them aloud. This trains your eyes to see His presence and builds a foundation of joy that doesn't depend on your circumstances.

Peace doesn't come from getting everything under control. Jesus didn't come into perfect circumstances—He came into chaos. Today we're talking about receiving His peace in the middle of the mess, not after we clean it all up.

This Week's Practice: 60-Second Breath Prayer When chaos hits, stop for one minute: Breathe in: "Prince of Peace, meet me here" Breathe out: "I receive Your peace"

Advent is supposed to be about hope, but when you're overwhelmed, hope can feel like one more thing you're failing at. Today we're talking about the truth that changes everything: Hope isn't a feeling we manufacture—it's a Person who meets us in the waiting.

This Week's Practice: Sacred Waiting - Every time you find yourself waiting this week, use it as a prompt to acknowledge Jesus' presence with you.
