159 devotionals in Spiritual Growth
January 29, 2026
It’s been a wonderful start to the New Year and I’ve added many new members to our morning devotional. I love watching it grow. I have had a lot of conversations as well about this thing we’ve built and it’s crazy to think it’s been eight years this year. So lately, I’ve been reading through almo...
patienceJanuary 8, 2026
I have been forced to learn a lot about myself the last four years and one of the things I’ve learned is I needed to get better with patience. Not only with life but mostly with people. I always thought I was a relatively patient person until I started trying to really learn what it meant to be p...
responsibilityJanuary 5, 2026
(1/2/26)More often than I’d like to admit, I do something really stupid. Last Friday, I had our devotional written and prepared and 100% got my mind on something else and forgot to send. So, here is Friday’s message, today…You ever feel like you have such a huge load or responsibility you find yo...
spiritual-growthDecember 24, 2025
Since we are on the Eve of celebration of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, here’s a question for you. Are you living in growth mode with your relationship with Christ? What I mean is, are you actively reading, meditating and growing your relationship with God?Let’s be honest, none of us are goin...
sufferingDecember 4, 2025
You ever notice that when we finally get out of whatever it is we are suffering from it never seems to be the way we thought we would get out of it? Like during our suffering we could never understand or see the way out that God has for us. It’s because it’s His plan for us not our plan for us. H...
faithNovember 20, 2025
As I sit here watching the sun come up this morning, I can’t help but marvel at the beauty God has made. How do I know he made it? Well, I have faith that he did. It’s the same faith that I have in Him that allows me to grow closer to Him. You see, developing a love for God is a little more chall...
life-balanceNovember 17, 2025
Ever thought about what it means to have a good balance in your life? Have you ever sought to find it? I’m talking about when we starve ourselves from God’s word and the things He designed for us to utilize our lives for. We too often replace those things with short term, self-fulfilling solution...
protectionOctober 9, 2025
Why do we protect ourselves with seat belts when driving, helmets and boots when riding and life jackets when on the water? It’s so we are ready when the unexpected comes. Right? When we wear these protective devices, they don’t restrict us from enjoying the activity we’re are choosing, rather it...
integritySeptember 1, 2025
“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.”Proverbs 10:9 In today's world of sports, it seems that anything done for an advantage is fair game—as long as you don't get caught.As Christians, however, we are held to a higher standard. Our goal s...
pleasing-godAugust 12, 2025
I don’t know whether it’s getting older or my growing desire to be closer to God, but I can say I seek more now to please Him than I do others. I think so anyhow, but it hasn’t always been that way. Who are you trying to please or impress? You see, we live in such a different world now where we a...
witnessJune 25, 2025
Should we care what people think of us? Should we care what we post on social media? I mean, we hear all the time, “God’s judgement is the only one that matters”, right? While I agree with the later, I disagree. We should care what others see from us, it’s our light. As disciples of Christ, we ne...
attitudeJune 19, 2025
Attitude determines so much of our lives. It governs the way we perceive the world and the way the world perceives us. It drives behavior and sets the tone for conversations. Attitude literally affects every area of our lives, yet most of us don’t have a good handle on it...but we can. I’m trying...
gods-graceMay 21, 2025
We’ve been doing this since sometime in 2018. I know I’ve written le about 1615 devotionals. I don’t think that’s all of them because I’m sure I’ve accidentally deleted some and reused some…but I digress. In the beginning, I use to sign off our devotionals with God is greater than me. (God > Me)...
following-jesusMay 1, 2025
If we are going to be thankful and live a life of gratitude, He must become number one. “He must increase, but I must decrease."”John 3:30 Work with me a little, what are we doing here? What is reading the Bible, prayer, and Christianity all about? It’s about loving God and others, right? It’s fo...
peaceMarch 27, 2025
Peace and serenity. We all seek it, we all crave it and we all need it. But where is it exactly? You may be like me and think it’s just in the absence of noise or conflict. But it’s not in the absence those things. It’s the tranquil feeling that’s not dependent on you circumstances. The peace we...
spiritual-growthMarch 25, 2025
Well, spring has sprung as my allergies have alerted me of this fact. Anyhow, I’m randomly thinking I needed to wash my plane due to the long winter and pollen, I reminded myself of a saying I heard somewhere along the way that said, “it’s not clean until a rags hit it”. Got me thinking that this...
forgivenessMarch 21, 2025
In keeping with forgiveness, nobody ever suggested forgiving would be easy. I certainly didn’t and I’m not saying it is, because it’s not. But God challenges us by giving us the ability to forgive. But at the same time, it is one of the hardest things He asks us to do. But you can learn to forgiv...
perseveranceMarch 12, 2025
This life isn’t easy, in fact it’s hard. We all have struggled and we all have failed but we must move on...“Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my...
identityMarch 10, 2025
So I had a great conversation down in Florida over the weekend with a buddy on this devotional chain about the different stages we’ve been through in life as it pertained to “stuff” we acquired. And when I mean stuff, I’m talking about the fancy cars and expansive homes, etc. We basically conclud...
patienceMarch 7, 2025
Let keep talking about listening to God and looking for his answers. “for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”James 1:3-4 Look, I think it’s pretty evident that God sp...
patienceFebruary 12, 2025
I have been forced to learn a lot about myself the last three years and one of the things I’ve learned is I need to get better with patience. Not only with life but mostly with people. I always thought I was a relatively patient person until I started trying to really learn what it meant to be pa...
mindfulnessJanuary 14, 2025
What are you thinking about? What are you feeding your mind? What we allow our minds to focus on influences our actions. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to what we are thinking about. I can tell you it’s been critical for me the last two weeks! But seriously, are you focusing on joy...
sufferingJanuary 9, 2025
You ever notice that when we finally get out of whatever it is we are suffering from it never seems to be the way we thought we would get out of it? Like during our suffering we could never understand or see the way out that God has for us. It’s because it’s His plan for us not our plan for us. H...
hypocrisyDecember 17, 2024
Ya’ll know I tend to write what is on my heart. It’s what helps me drive the content I send each morning. Well, a couple weeks ago I got frustrated and said something pretty “off color” and it really ate me up for a few days…I know you’ve done it too, we all have. You ever stopped and thought abo...
