2Korin 12:9

The Bible is a book of redemption, freedom, and hope. Within its pages are characters dynamic and full of grit—broken men and women looking for answers. In a way, they’re a lot like the current and former prisoners who authored the devotionals you’re about to read. We hope you are encouraged and inspired by voices from the church behind bars. May their testimony set us all free.

How can you be active in your faith daily? Through the trials and tribulations of life, it is vital that we are both physically and spiritually fit. The Active Faith Sports team developed this reading plan to provide practical ways to be active in your faith and your fitness. Instructional videos have been provided by Terry Williams of the League Elite Training Facility in Houston, Texas.

With so many voices telling us who to be, it’s no wonder we struggle with where to place our identity. God doesn’t want us to be defined by our career, marital status, or mistakes. He wants His opinion to be the highest authority in our lives. This six-day plan will help you internalize what the Bible says about who you are and truly embrace your identity in Christ.

We hope that this reading plan will inspire you to go on a journey in cultivating the fruit of patience in your life. In the past few years we have found that even though circumstances are not always pleasant, God will use them to mold our character. What He desires is for us to approach these trials with a Godly sense of patience.
