Jesus, I Want to Love You Part 3

Choosing to be joyful in the midst of hard times is definitely easier said than done.  One of the most prominent people to ever go through hard times and come out better is Job.

When the Going Gets Tough

All Is Not Lost, an album by The Brilliance, is a call to awareness and action. We believe that the role of Jesus-followers is not to idly stand by, waiting for the storm to pass; we believe in trying to engage the world and people that surround us with grace. We hope you hear these words with open hearts and open minds, and join us in calling for compassion and love in a time when we desperately need it. There is a better way, a way of peace; All Is Not Lost. 

All Is Not Lost By The Brilliance

In the Bible, we see that through ‘Great Adventurers’ God has changed the world around them for good. God can take the seemingly bad things and turn them for good. We will follow in the footsteps of these ‘Great Adventurers’ and see how God, through their boldness, changed the world around them! This week we’re looking at the story of Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego. 

Great Adventurers (Week 3)

In this 7-day devotional, Brian Dickinson—former U.S. Navy Aviation Rescue Swimmer and Mount Everest climber—shares lessons from his extraordinary life experiences paired with biblical truths. Through practical insights and scripture, you’ll learn how to remain calm amidst chaos, respond with faith rather than fear, and find God's presence even in life’s most challenging moments. Let these daily reflections guide you toward peace, clarity, and trust in God’s sovereign plan.

Won by One

Whether you suffer from anxiety yourself or live alongside someone who struggles, you know the challenges. Management of our anxiety sometimes requires help outside ourselves and always requires the intervention of a loving and all-knowing God. Jesus himself comes to us as a companion in anxiety, keeping company with us in everything that’s hard as we wait for shades of light to break through.

What Does the Bible Say About Anxiety?

Faith says, “I can do all things.” Fear says, “What will they think of me?” Faith and fear are opposites—it is impossible for faith and fear to coexist equally in your life. These devotionals take you inside the stories of modern-day and biblical heroes who chose to fear God instead of people. It’s my prayer that they will embolden you to step out in faith today.
