Hey Reader, We're continuing our Colossians study on YouTube today! Click here to join us now. Today, we're stepping into Colossians 3, where Paul shows us what it truly looks like to live as followers of Christ. Together, we'll explore what it means to set our minds on things above, put off our old way of life, and clothe ourselves with the character of Christ. I pray this lesson meets you right where you are and encourages you to walk more fully in the life He has called you to. Feel free...

Reader, Today, we begin. Colossians was written by the apostle Paul while imprisoned, to a church he'd never visited but deeply cared for. That church was being pulled toward ideas that mixed truth with philosophy, legalism, and mysticism. Paul's response is one of the most exalted descriptions of Christ in the New Testament: the image of the invisible God, the one in whom all things hold together, the head of the church. Today's video went live at 7:00 a.m. ET and walks through that overview...

Hey Reader, As we head into this weekend, I'm holding two things close to my heart: the beginning of our Colossians study on Monday and the start of another school year. Personally, I'm preparing to send one child back to college, another into senior year, one into high school, and one into middle school. That's a lot of transitions happening under one roof! And as excited as I am for each of them, I'm also very aware that every new season brings new environments, relationships, influences,...

Reader, This is it. Psalms 97–100 are waiting for you — and I want you to open them slowly this week. Not because they're difficult. But because they deserve the same unhurried attention you gave Psalm 51 on the first morning of June. You began this journey on the floor with David — reaching for God from the wreckage of his choices, asking for something that didn't yet exist in him. And this week, you arrive at a crescendo. Every thread this summer has carried — repentance, refuge, worship,...

Reader, One week to go. August is almost here — and with it comes that particular feeling of a summer well spent. Not rushed through. Not wasted. Spent. Intentionally, morning by morning, one Psalm at a time. What you have done over these 49 days is worth naming before we open the final full week of this journey. You chose the Word consistently — even on the days when the discipline cost more than the inspiration gave. That kind of faithfulness forms something in you that goes deeper than any...

Reader, Seven weeks. The finish line is close enough to see from here. Before we open this week's Psalms, I want to name something quietly. The summer that felt long in June is starting to feel finite. August is closer than it seemed. And there's something about the last stretch of anything that invites a particular kind of attention — a slowing down, a noticing, a willingness to let what has been growing in you actually land before the season closes. Last week, we sat with the sons of Korah...

Reader, Mid-July. The summer is at its fullest — long evenings, slower pace, the kind of heat that makes you move differently through your day. And six weeks into this journey, I want to ask you something honest before we open this week's Psalms. Not rhetorical — real. How are you doing with the rhythm? Are you still showing up? Still writing? Still watching? Because this is the week the drift becomes a choice. Not a failure — a choice. Either the rhythm that has been building since June 1...

Reader, July has a different feel than June. The summer is no longer new. The rhythm you started building on June 1 has either taken root or quietly loosened, and most of us know which one is true without having to think too hard about it. Either way, this Monday morning is an invitation back to the Word. No guilt about what was missed. Just an open journal and one more Psalm. Before we jump into this week's readings, can I ask you something? How is Summer in the Psalms going for you? Some of...
