Living Bold: Created for a Divine Purpose
The righteous are as BOLD as a lion. (Proverbs 28:1 NIV) Welcome to the second devotional in our personal family devotional series, my friends! I am so excited about this message! Earlier this week, I asked my son to write down questions that he had about God (or doing life with God) so that we could focus on them for our weekly family devotionals. You see, I find that kids ask really great questions that make for fantastic and intriguing points of Biblical research and discovery. Well, one of his first questions this week didn’t really surprise me: “Why would God create us bold?” But before we launch into that,…

Family Devotional Ideas: The Power of the Holy Spirit & Anointing Your Home With Oil
Late last year, I begin to feel the Holy Spirit press on my heart two words, prophetic destiny. Only in this particular moment, He wasn’t speaking of my prophetic destiny… He was referring to my son’s prophetic destiny. He was giving me a small glimpse of the calling that He had on my son’s heart and in doing so, He was shining a light on the irreplaceable role that we play as parents in nurturing that calling. In the months that followed, I began to press heavily into that message, having deep conversations with my little boy about his unique and beautiful spiritual gifts and how God created him with…

“Fall Into Me” A 4-Week Trust Fall Into Our Heavenly Father’s Arms
Fall… it’s a season of change. It’s a quite visual demonstration of how beautiful it can be to let go. Living in the Colorado mountains, we marvel every year at the colorful show put on by our aspen trees. We embrace the transformation and stand in awe of the changes that God is creating all around us. What a beautiful and delightful time! But, guess what? As I marvel at the beautiful changing of the seasons all around me, I am reminded by the Holy Spirit that God isn’t just the Creator of change in nature. He’s also changing things in my heart. And He’s changing things in yours too.…

30 Days of Chasing Joy: A Jesus-Based One Month Action Plan
Referencing some of the apostles in the Bible, Max Lucado once wrote, “within them dwells a fire not found on earth.” Let that sit with you for a moment… “within them dwells a fire.” For the better part of the last year, I have chased that fire with eagerness and intentionality. I have not always known which direction to take, but I have leaned into my relationship with Jesus and tried to learn as much as possible about what He is trying to teach me. What I have found is a renewed joy like I have never experienced in my life. It is not a joy that comes from a…
