1 Samuel 9:22

How can the heroes of the Bible inspire us to greatness? Join us in this four-day reading plan as Kristi Krauss motivates us with Samson's immense strength, Ruth's faithfulness, Samuel's lifelong devotion, and King Saul's self-will. Don't be surprised if these testimonies transform your life.

This devotional is a straight conversation about self esteem from the lens of God’s Word. In a world where people define their worth by opinions, validation, achievements, or social media, the Bible reveals something different — man’s worth is grounded in creation, not performance. Across these six days, we will look into the scriptures to understand God’s estimation of man, confront the roots of low self esteem, and learn to see ourselves the way God sees us. The goal is simple: to place God’s Word above feelings, opinions, and human validation.

You’re amazing. You’re called to do something great, but somewhere in there is a voice. This voice is the Impostor, and it thrives on telling you lies. In this plan, we explore several great leaders and their journey through the impostor. Use the references and stories to help you Navigate The Impostor.

This week, we will explore the book of 1 Samuel, engaging the transition of Israel from the age of judges to the age of kings. We will spend two days with each of the main characters—Samuel, Saul, and David—seeing both things to emulate and things to avoid as men of God.
