The Stream

The Monday After is a weekly reflection from Darren Carlson—pastor, missionary trainer, and writer—on the ordinary, unglamorous work of following Christ when the crowds have gone home and the week begins again. Each episode moves through a simple rhythm: an honest devotional that doesn't flinch from hard truths, a story of God quietly at work in everyday encounters, and something worth reading to carry you through the week. Expect spare, declarative reflection rooted in Scripture, shaped by the local church, and aimed at the long obedience of staying, showing up, and being known. For anyone who suspects the real test of faith isn't Sunday's high but Monday's grind.
