1 Corinthians 3:4-7

“Different…why can’t they see it’s hard to be different.” This devotion explores our identity, purpose, and strength in Christ. Be encouraged that God LOVES differences and variety, and that these are actually gifts. Stand your ground, be proud of who you’ll become, and don’t ever run or hide from who you really are.

Sharing Jesus can stir up anxiety and guilt, but when you keep two simple, life-giving principles in view, conversations about faith can become much more stress-free. Based on Chapter 3 of Giving Jesus Away by John Hopper, this 3-day reading plan invites you to rediscover the freedom and joy of sharing the gospel.

This devotional reflects my new song, “Heart of the Father”. Ultimately, my prayer is that God uses these devotionals and this song to remind us that He will never withhold His love from us. Our Father’s heart is one full of compassion, and no matter what stage of life we’re in — there will always be the grace and love of God waiting for us.

Ministry is a difficult calling, and it can be easy to lose sight of the true reason you became a pastor. Maybe you’ve started seeking praise for a good sermon, or started comparing your church to others. Things like this are common, but if left unchecked, they can lead to burnout and prevent you from serving your congregation well. With this 4-day reading plan, you will get verses and prayer prompts to examine your heart and align your heart with God’s.
