Matthew 22:17-21

This reading plan takes you through some of the themes in the "Clean (part 1)" episode of The Chosen TV Series. Reflect, dive into the Bible, and enjoy what Jesus has to say to you.

We have all been in one of ‘those’ conversations that challenges us and makes us uncomfortable. This devotion is designed to encourage, challenge, and equip you to step into these conversations with confidence and give you the ability to navigate conversations in a way that glorifies God and points others to Him.

“I am sending you out like sheep among wolves…be as shrewd as snakes…innocent as doves” Matthew 10:16. Culture is ever-changing, meaningful conversations can become more difficult as hostility increases. This plan will encourage you to learn from Jesus example as he engaged with the interested, only sought to intrigue the disinterested, and deflected the hostile. He both thrived and achieved his purpose on earth despite hostility, and so can we!

We all are influenced by the boxes we check, whether it’s our incomes, religious affiliations, politics, or something else. In this five-day devotional, pastor Eli Bonilla Jr., author of Mixed, shows us how to navigate our groups with compassion, authenticity, and growth-mindedness by staying rooted in our higher God-given identity.
