Job 1:1, 8

Have you ever heard the phrase open heaven and pictured pearly gates above? But what if heaven isn’t only a future promise—what if it’s an experience you can have now? An open heaven is moving from knowing about God to living in the reality of His presence. Have you ever been left speechless by His love, favor, or goodness? This devotional is designed to help you live under an open heaven—here and now. And it’s no coincidence you’re here. You’re ready to walk bolder, deeper, and stronger in your faith.

Pastor Mark Croston guides us to understand how God-centered leadership always yields big results.

I love Rube Goldberg machines. They are elaborate, complicated systems that accomplish simple tasks. Usually they are many small things that work toward one bigger goal, but sometimes they can be a few big things that do something small.
