The Daily Nugget

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike shares more from his writing retreat to AZ and another God story. He shares how God put him with the exact right person to help him navigate a very difficult section he was trying to tackle in his book on the Fruit of the Spirit.

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike shares insights from his writing retreat, reflecting on what God has been teaching him about healing and restoration. He tells the story of how God led him to read a book on these topics and then brought a woman into his life who was struggling. Mike had the opportunity to share the gospel with her, pray for her, and guide her toward healing and restoration. Tune in for a reminder of how God uses both learning and everyday encounters to bring hope and transformation.

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike does a quick catch-up on what God is leading Him into for 2026. He shares some of the things coming up on the Daily Nugget in the next couple months. He has an amazing God story to tell too!

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike shares a Christmas reflection from Philippians 2, focusing on the incredible humility of Jesus. Though He is the majestic, worshiped, and glorious King of heaven, Jesus willingly set all of that aside and entered our world in the most humble way imaginable—becoming a single cell for us. In doing so, He modeled true humility, showing us what it looks like to live with love, obedience, and selflessness, and inviting us to reflect that same humility in how we live and serve others.

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike shares the number one reason he believes in Christianity. Quite simply, if someone said, ‘Mike, you have five minutes to convince me Christianity is true,’ the answer would be this: it works. Following God changes every part of your life for the better. It brings purpose, peace, forgiveness, and hope—not because life becomes easy, but because God transforms the heart. Christianity isn’t just something to believe; it’s something to live, and when it’s lived, it changes everything.

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike reflects on the astonishing precision required for life in our universe. As Hugh Ross explains in his article on the probability of life on Earth, the number of conditions that must align for our planet to support life is so extraordinarily improbable that it essentially points beyond random chance. From the fine-tuning of the physical constants to the specific conditions on Earth, these factors work together in such a precise way that the best explanation isn’t blind luck—it’s a Creator God who designed the universe with purpose. This scientific improbability reinforces the biblical truth that the world didn’t form by accident, but by the intentional act of a wise and powerful God.”

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike talks about the existence of sin and how it points us beyond ourselves. As humans, we want to see ourselves as good, so we often create our own standards—standards that are lower than God’s—measuring ourselves by being nice neighbors or simply not worse than the next person. Yet deep down, we all recognize when we do something wrong, and that awareness shows there is a moral standard greater than us. That truth leads us to the meaning behind the colors of Christmas: red reminds us that Jesus took our sin and died for us, white reminds us that He makes us clean and pure, and green reminds us that because of Him, we are given new life and the chance to grow.

“Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike talks about love—an emotion that shows us our world is more than just physical. Feelings like love, kindness, and joy point to something beyond what we can see and touch. These experiences remind us that there is a spiritual part of our world, and the best explanation for that spiritual reality is the existence of a loving, spiritual God who made us and gave us the ability to love.”

“Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike reflects on how God exists outside of time and how that truth makes the most sense of our linear experience of time and the universe’s clear beginning. Time itself had a starting point, which points us toward a timeless Creator—One who isn’t bound by seconds, minutes, or years, but who stands sovereign over past, present, and future. Understanding God as the One outside of time helps us recognize His greatness and the foundation for why anything exists at all.”

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike focuses on how God provides for us as a clear reminder that He is real. Through personal stories of God’s provision in his own life and in the life of the church over the years, we are reminded again and again that our God is sovereign, faithful, and deeply personal. Each story points to the truth that our loving Heavenly Father knows our needs, cares for His children, and delights in giving good gifts to those who trust Him.
