Worship is central to the Christian life. Here is a reflection on what it means to hold fast to faith in the midst of life’s trials...a message that inspires Christians to connect the dots between singing the song and living the life. Based on Matt Redman's new book 10,000 Reasons.

Bread is an important part of daily life for most people around the world. Whether bought from a store, made at home, or given by a friend, it is known as the staff of life.

Have you ever felt like quitting on the church? So has Natalie Runion, worship leader, songwriter, and teacher. But as Natalie reminds us in this week’s devotional, it’s possible to question behaviors and beliefs we have seen in the church, in religious organizations, and in Christians without quitting Jesus or divorcing the family of God.
