Hey Reader, Have you ever felt like there were gaps or empty spaces in your life? Places that felt vulnerable to the enemy's attacks? I know I have. But in today's powerful Bible study on Nehemiah 11, we discover how Nehemiah helped repopulate Jerusalem after the Israelites returned from exile. The enemy was looking for those empty, vulnerable places to attack, and Nehemiah knew they needed to fill the city to keep it secure. I know it's not always easy. Following Jesus often requires sacrifice and doing difficult tasks that others may be unwilling to do. But when we say "yes" to God, even when it's hard, He will use our obedience for His glory. Watch today's full teaching on Nehemiah 11 for more encouragement on how to live a life fully surrendered to God. And be sure to grab the Nehemiah Bible study guide to enhance your personal study time! Let's chat in the comments: How is God challenging you to fill the empty places in your life with more of Him? Praying for you to experience the fullness of God's presence today!

That’s more than a decade of love, laughter, tears, apologies, inside jokes, “What do you want for dinner?” debates, and learning that somehow socks still don’t walk themselves to the...
Hey Reader, “He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul.” —Psalm 23:2–3 He restores my soul. Words from scripture that I’ve quoted since I was a little girl in Sunday school. Words that I've learned are so true, real, and powerful. But now, as an adult, I read them with fresh eyes. I realize that the Lord created me to be restored. Not just held together, not just surviving—but brought back to wholeness. However, that kind of restoration...
Hey Reader, We’ve come to the final part of Well Encounters, and I believe this last devotional might be the most exciting of all. So often we stop at the encounter. We meet Jesus, feel refreshed, and quietly hold that moment close. But what if your encounter is meant to overflow into someone else’s transformation? This week, we look at how one woman’s shame-filled past became the spark for a powerful testimony. She left her water jar behind and ran into purpose. The same can be true for you....
