New to Faith

“You don’t seriously believe all that stuff in the Bible, do you?” “Isn’t it sexist?” “How could any educated person believe in all the miracles?” If you’ve ever asked or been asked these kinds of questions, then this plan is for you. Theologian Amy Orr-Ewing tackles six common questions about the Bible that can cause Christians to doubt and seekers to reject the faith before they encounter Jesus.

Why Trust the Bible?

Is the Lord your greatest passion? Do you desire to know Him more? This five-day reading plan by Thistlebend Ministries will guide you to a more intimate relationship with the Lord.

Seek the Lord and Find Him

Join Passion in this 7-day devotional as they take you through verses that inspired songs like “My Heart Is Yours,” “Let It Be Jesus,” and “At The Cross (Love Ran Red).”

Passion: Take It All Devotions

Are you just beginning in a new faith in Jesus Christ? Do you want to know more about Christianity but aren't sure what—or how—to ask? Then start here. Taken from the book "Start Here" by David Dwight and Nicole Unice.

Beginning A Relationship With Jesus

Good conversations involve both talking and listening. The same is true as we pray. Too often we focus on the how, when, and where of prayer. But better questions are: “How honest are our prayers?” and “How well do we listen?” Each of the 5 days in this plan contains a short audio message (1-2 minutes). We will cover topics like conversational prayer, praying sincerely, powerful prayers, and listening to God’s voice. 

Talking With God

This plan centers around three individuals about to take their final breath. A theme that appears unattractive until eight words changed everything. Words that gave "The Promise of Heaven." Taken and adapted from "The Promise" by P. J. Meduri (Taking the Field Ministries), this promise is still available today. A promise from the God who loves you, created you in his image, and desires to have a relationship with you.

The Promise of Heaven

When we surrender to Jesus He changes us in a moment but we are still being changed everyday to become more like Him. This devotion deals with the everyday, ordinary changes that we all face in becoming more Christ-like. We are changed and changing still.

CHANGED! And Changing Still..

The third chapter of Genesis exposes Satan’s scheme to thwart God’s original design for humanity in relationship to Himself and to the rest of creation. Satan’s deception marked the beginning of human suffering. This five-day meditation will help you discover how God has provided for the restoration of that original relationship He intended to have with His children. 

Satan’s Deception

Starts out with the basics about God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit and the Bible. Finishes with a journey through the book of Ephesians focusing on the wealth and walk of a Jesus follower.
