Reading and praying the Psalms is a humble pilgrimage. The various authors, including King David, share their innermost thoughts and struggles in their relationships with others and the One True God.

Each day’s study includes an option to pray through that day’s Psalm with grace-filled intentionality.

This 7-day plan invites you to pursue God’s glory, instead of unrewarding self-focus, and live the life God created you for by choosing significance over success. These devotionals will help you recognize the exhausting emptiness of pursuing success and find liberation from a life without purpose.

You might be managing your money… but what else have you been entrusted with?

Jesus “took the bread, blessed it, broke it, gave it to his disciples, and said, ‘This is my body given for you, do this in remembrance of me.’” In the same way, we too are taken, blessed, broken, given, and spoken in God’s love—that we might remember the body of Christ for a hurting world and become instruments of peace.

In this, we will have people in our lives who know us and our world, and can speak into our lives.

Even though the offer of freedom is available to all, many still live in bondage. The key to unlocking your freedom is the forgiveness that Jesus has already won for you.
