Join me on a five-day deep dive into the purpose, power, and potential of thanking God through every season of our lives.

In this plan, Darcie Stephens, Finding Hope Coordinator for Hope is Alive Ministries, shares some of her own story of loving those in the midst of substance abuse and how God brought her HOPE.

If joy is an essential feature of the Christian life, then why are so many Christians so miserable?

Our old self is gone, and a new life has begun! It’s time to live in that reality. For the next seven days, discover how to stop living in the past, and step into what’s next.

Nehemiah was a visionary leader, innovator, and statesman. I believe that the Book of Nehemiah is as good an entrepreneur’s case study as any I use in the classes I teach at Carnegie Mellon. It offers lessons in leadership on par with well-documented examples of exemplary leadership from modern CEOs. Over the course of this 10-day study, we are going to learn by studying the life of Nehemiah.

Along with Ezra, Nehemiah chronicles the post-exilic history of Israel. Nehemiah's leadership helped resettle Israelites in the land and rebuild Jerusalem's walls. However, Nehemiah's greatest legacy was a renewed national identity rooted in repentance of sin and obedience to God.

Every man needs a CREED. Something to stand by as the Man of the House. As we journey through Nehemiah's account of rebuilding and fortifying Jerusalem's walls, we also discover how we can be men, husbands and fathers with a godly CREED - Courage, Responsibility, Excellence, Enthusiasm and Devotion

Have you ever wondered how God’s plan for humanity all started? The Basic Training Challenge walks you through the thread of the Old Testament story in this reading plan. Similar to your basic training, this plan will challenge you to get spiritually fit in God’s Word.

Doing hard things gives you extraordinary capabilities. As your character is refined under pressure, it helps shape a clearer picture of your unique place in the world and influences how you serve, lead, and relate to those around you. This plan will take a look at the origins of God’s character through his first dealings with people and how he’s cared for us throughout history.

Do you feel like you are in a season of loss and ruin? After decades of captivity, the Jews were allowed to return to Jerusalem, only to find the city in ruins. The books of Ezra and Nehemiah detail God's faithfulness to his people as they rebuilt their homeland and offer encouragement to you when you need to rebuild too.

Many of us long for spiritual revival for ourselves, our church, our community, our nation, our world. Through this plan you will commit 21 days to understanding revival, growing your passion for revival, and crying out to God for revival. The first week focuses on personal revival. The second week explores community revival. The final week shows how to prepare for revival. Now is the time to pray for revival.

Often touted as a “leadership” book, Nehemiah is rich in application. The way Nehemiah led the exiled Israelites in Persia to rebuild and reoccupy Jerusalem was as much an exercise in surrender and supplication as it was leadership and strategy. In this 21-day reading plan, we’ll look to Nehemiah as a role model in prayer, obedience, perseverance, and, yes, leadership.

Spending regular time in God’s Word and in prayer is critical if we want to know God and live lives that glorify him. That’s why each day of this 21-day plan is based on Scripture and is aimed at fueling your desire to feast on God’s Word and depend on him wholeheartedly in prayer. This plan is adapted from David Platt’s daily podcast titled, Pray the Word.
