1 Korintiyawa 2:3

What if there’s a simple way of living, a way of “practicing” our life, that inexorably draws us closer to Jesus’ gravitational pull—close enough that we can no longer escape his orbit? What if we replace the 543 “must-do’s” of the Christian life with only one thing? What if our interest and curiosity is funneled into a “nothing but Jesus” kind of life?

There is a sacred anxiety when believers feel called to minister, especially when distracted by an awareness of their inadequacies. But God is more concerned with the condition of the heart and willingness to respond than a person’s abilities or inabilities.

To lead in a way that creates eternal impact, you must possess courage, the catalyst to great leadership and a life full of purpose. In this devotional, you will learn how to overcome a common obstacle to leading with courage as well as discover unique types of courage displayed in the Bible. You will be inspired and equipped with courage to bring heaven to earth in your sphere of influence! 

“Different…why can’t they see it’s hard to be different.” This devotion explores our identity, purpose, and strength in Christ. Be encouraged that God LOVES differences and variety, and that these are actually gifts. Stand your ground, be proud of who you’ll become, and don’t ever run or hide from who you really are.
