Praise be to the God who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ! This devotional takes you deep into the transformative truth of Ephesians 1:3-6, where we discover that before creation itself, you were chosen and set apart by the Creator of the universe.

God is calling you beyond religious obligation into something far more precious—intimate friendship with Himself. He longs for you to know Him more deeply, to love Him more passionately, and to worship Him with your whole heart. As you respond to this invitation, He promises to open His Word to you daily, providing fresh spiritual nourishment for your journey. Be blessed as He establishes you to live by His Spirit in increasingly profound ways, moving from merely following rules to delighting in relationship.

What happens when we slow down and fully experience each day of Easter weekend? In this heartfelt conversation, Elizabeth Gunter Powell and Kimberly Roddy explore the profound depths of the Easter narrative, particularly focusing on the often-overlooked Saturday – that space between crucifixion and resurrection where grief, confusion, and waiting converge.

The resurrection isn't merely a historical event to celebrate annually – it's the source of transformative power available daily. The same power that raised Christ from death now lives within believers. Paul's guidance from 1 Corinthians 15 becomes our roadmap: "Stand firm, let nothing move you," knowing that death has been swallowed up in victory.

Whether you're experiencing personal resurrection or still waiting in a Saturday moment, discover how the Easter story offers profound hope for every season of life. Join us to explore how we can access resurrection power for the areas in our lives that need renewal, restoration, and rebirth.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ changes everything—not just on Easter Sunday, but every single day of your life. 

This powerful devotional from Elizabeth Gunter Powell unpacks how the empty tomb fundamentally transforms both who we are and how we live. The resurrection gives us a new identity, described through beautiful scriptural declarations: we are treasured, victorious, forgiven, equipped, free, beautiful, and perhaps most profoundly, known by God Himself.

Whether you're struggling with seemingly insurmountable obstacles or simply feeling the weight of everyday responsibilities, this message invites you to stop trying to navigate life in your own strength. Instead, lean into the incredible resurrection power God has already given you.

What does it really mean to live as a covenant child of God? This question isn't just theological—it's intensely practical for navigating our everyday lives. When we truly grasp our identity as covenant children, everything changes about how we face challenges, make decisions, and relate to others.

The concept of covenant runs throughout Scripture, showing God's faithful commitment to His people through promises that can't be broken. Jesus himself established the new covenant in his blood, inviting us into an unshakable relationship with God. But how does this high theology translate into Monday morning realities? Join us as we unpack this transformative truth and discover how it reshapes everything from our prayer life to our daily choices.

Have you ever felt spiritually parched, walking through a desert season with no relief in sight? This soul-refreshing meditation draws us to the life-giving waters found in God's presence.

The meditation gently reminds us that God's compassion guides us to places of spiritual refreshment, even when circumstances suggest no water could possibly be found. 

Ready to move beyond spiritual dehydration? Dive into this episode and rediscover the healing waters that flow from the holy place where the Most High dwells. Your desert is about to bloom.

Discover the profound difference between praying as a spiritual orphan versus praying as a covenant child of God Most High. When we truly grasp our identity as co-heirs with Christ, we approach prayer not from desperation but from divine confidence. As Elizabeth unpacks this transformative truth, she reveals how spiritual warfare often serves a higher purpose than we realize—it's an invitation to witness God's glory and power in action.

Journey deep into the heart of what it means to pray from a place of confidence rather than fear, knowing that the battle belongs to your Mighty Warrior who has never been and will never be defeated. When you grasp who you are as God's beloved heir, you'll find yourself spending less time begging God to show up and more time thanking Him that victory is already yours.

Discover the transformative power of understanding your spiritual identity in "Sonship and the Father Heart of God," a soul-stirring devotional that addresses the deepest longings of the human heart. Rooted in Romans 8:14, this meditation explores how those led by God's Spirit truly become His sons and daughters—not just in name, but in the profound experience of belonging and worth. Your heavenly Father extends His favor toward you, assuring you of release into the full rights of your true identity. Will you receive this blessing and allow it to transform how you live?

What would change if you fully grasped that you are a covenant child of God with unlimited access to His resources? This question lies at the heart of everything The Father's Business stands for.

Your identity as a beloved son or daughter of God is secure and unshakeable. Just as biological children share DNA with their parents that can never be denied, you share a spiritual connection with your Heavenly Father that transcends your performance or feelings. This isn't just theological concept but the practical foundation for victory in every situation you face.

Romans 8:15-17 reveals something extraordinary happening within you right now: your spirit and God's Spirit are having an ongoing conversation. The Holy Spirit continually testifies to your spirit that you are God's child and heir—with complete access to all His love, joy, peace, patience, forgiveness, and faith. When you lack these qualities in difficult situations, you don't need to manufacture them yourself; you can draw from God's unlimited supply. What if the most powerful spiritual stance isn't striving but resting in the knowledge that God is completely responsible for you and those you love?

Do you ever feel like God is distant—some remote figure who occasionally intervenes during major crises? This transformative devotional shatters that misconception, revealing the profound truth that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit live within us in real-time, constantly available in the fullness of their being.

This devotional doesn't just inform—it transforms your approach to prayer and spiritual life. Rather than viewing God as distant, you'll discover how to recognize divine presence weaving through your days like a tapestry. You'll learn to awaken to the Father who wrote your days in His book, arise in the Son who carries your government on His shoulders, and walk in the Spirit who guarantees your future. 

What does it truly mean to be "blessed and highly favored"? The angel's greeting to Mary has become a popular phrase, but Mary's subsequent journey challenges our modern interpretation of divine blessing. When we examine Mary's life after this pronouncement, we discover a path marked by difficulty rather than ease. 

The transformative truth revealed in this episode is that Mary was blessed and highly favored not because her circumstances would be easy, but because God had specifically chosen her. Her identity as God's chosen vessel preceded any action on her part, and the pivotal moment came when she fully embraced this identity through her magnificent song.

Elizabeth and Kimberly unpack how this understanding transforms our approach to our own identity and circumstances. True blessing isn't about getting what we want but about becoming who God created us to be – beloved children who can live from their divine identity regardless of external conditions. Like Mary, we can choose to receive our identity and live from it, allowing it to transform how we navigate both celebration and suffering. Join us as we explore what it means to be truly "blessed and highly favored" in God's kingdom.
