We all make mistakes. We all need forgiveness. We all, at times, need a fresh start. Dive into this devotional with us and encounter the grace, forgiveness and purpose that God has for us, even when we make mistakes.

We hear a lot about “minimalism” these days. But what does Jesus have to say about owning less? Quite a bit actually. Joshua Becker digs into Scripture to show us that minimalism has been God’s invitation all along because it makes space for more time, more money, more faith, and more spiritual benefits. Discover a deeper joy and richer sense of purpose as you hold onto less and receive even more.

Prayer is strange territory. Some of us arrive here with decades of practice and still aren’t sure we’re doing it right. Some of us arrive carrying a long silence; years where prayer felt hollow, or pointless, or just absent. And some of us arrive simply curious. Drawing on the gritty wisdom of the Desert Fathers and Mothers and on the profound theological insight of Rowan Williams, these six devotions are about one thing: experimenting. Letting go of the habits, expectations, and performance anxieties and embracing some new ways and allowing space for a new openness to God to grow.

We all have a sense that prayer is important, but few of us are actually taught to pray. What does it mean to pray? How does one do it? Prayer shows up in stories and letters as a vital practice, but how do we actual do it well? This seven day plan will help you understand what prayer is and how to engage with this life-changing practice.
