Hey Reader, For the last couple of weeks during my quiet time, I've been reading through the Gospel of Mark. At the same time, our time together in Ephesians has been amazing, and I've loved seeing how the Lord has been using both books to reinforce something I needed to be reminded of. One thing that continues to stand out to me in Mark is the authority of Jesus. By the time I reached Mark 11, the religious leaders were directly questioning Him: “By what authority are You doing these things?...

Reader, Today, we begin our journey through Ephesians. Ephesians was written by the apostle Paul while imprisoned and serves as a powerful reminder of who we are in Christ. Before Paul addresses how believers should live, he first points them to everything God has already done for them through Jesus. In Chapter 1, Paul celebrates the spiritual blessings believers have received in Christ: chosen, adopted, redeemed, forgiven, and sealed by the Holy Spirit. Today's video went live at 7:00 a.m....

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,...
