Luke 13:33

At the core of it, discipleship is taking care of and tending all the things Jesus commanded us. Yet how can we know what to do if we don't know His words? That is why we're exploring all of Jesus' words across the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each day includes a Bible narration from Ps Mark Varughese of the words of Jesus. NOTE: the translation used in the narration is the New King James Version.

The Kingdom of God is free but there is also a cost to be paid.

This seven-day devotional traces Jesus's final journey to Jerusalem, from his first announcement of what awaited him there to his arrival in nearby Bethany. Through Scripture readings and reflections, we’ll put ourselves in the shoes of Jesus’s companions—experiencing their hopes, fears, and moments of faith. As we witness Jesus's unwavering resolve in the face of what lies ahead, we'll consider what it truly means to follow him, even when God's plans challenge our expectations.

As a follower of Jesus and a leader in the marketplace, I must ensure a thriving, life-giving culture for the people I am responsible for. To cultivate such a culture—one that enables people to thrive—I need to become a cultural architect. A cultural architect intentionally follows a biblically inspired blueprint to design a culture in which people willingly offer the best of what they have to contribute to their workplace. This study provides a biblical blueprint: Cultivate with Intent. (Based on the book by Hermann du Plessis: Cultivate with Intent.)
