Luke 12:51

We live in a world deeply fractured by division—often in ways we never saw coming. In this devotional, world-renowned mountaineer and former U.S. Navy Aviation Rescue Swimmer Brian Dickinson invites you on a journey toward unity, healing, and higher ground. Drawing from life-or-death experiences on glacial peaks, Brian uses the mountain as a powerful metaphor for navigating conflict and coexisting with those who challenge us. Through God's Word, he offers spiritual tools to help you rise above division and reach the summit with faith and grace.

This plan is a challenge to run the “race set before us” mentioned in Hebrews 12:1 in a way that will cause the fearful crowd in this world who are watching us to notice a difference in our lives. We will use 5 direct quotes from Jesus in Luke chapter 12 to guide our discussions and draw out our thoughts in these uncertain and often troubling times.

Many are called, few are commissioned. Jesus gives his followers a taste of going out to preach, teach, and heal. Going in faith, they experience amazing powers that Christ endowed them. Christ also appraises them of the discipline and sacrifice involved, with far greater rewards for service. While service is highly monetized these days, there are still the few serving in tune with their Master in Heaven. Perhaps little-known today but famous in Heaven.

Faith is a key concept in the Bible. This reading plan offers you a series of devotionals on this important theme. We want to help you understand what faith is, and to help you grow in your faith in the Lord God.
