3 biblical tips to jump-start your management career.

Explore the setting and significance behind one of Jesus’s most stunning declarations: “I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Spoken in the shadows of shrines and false gods, His words were a response to revelation, not chaos. This three-day journey unpacks how that confession—and Christ’s promise—still dismantle fear, control, and self-rule. Written by Joe Riddle, Founder of Danger Close Consulting.

JESUS: HIS LIFE, a new series on HISTORY, explores Jesus through the lens of those closest to Him, and this devotional is designed to inspire you with stories of people in the Bible whose lives were dramatically changed by Jesus, in part because their expectations of who they thought He was or who they wanted Him to be were way off.

In this simple bible plan, we explore four ideas that help us grow as followers of Jesus. We will look at scripture and unpack concepts around being Jesus-centered, discipleship oriented, intimacy called, and missionally present. Each session has a scripture reading, a devotional thought, and a short time of guided prayer. Our hope is that it would help you follow Jesus to the depths of His heart and the ends of the earth.
