Day 13: Nehemiah 13~Not Your Fairytale Ending
Hey Reader, The ending of Nehemiah is not quite what we expected! After 12 chapters of rebuilding the wall and seeing God's hand at work, chapter 13 feels like a harsh dose of reality. When Nehemiah returns to Jerusalem to find the people in a worse condition then when he left them, He is furious. His responds should lead us to examine ourselves and our own spiritual integrity. In Nehemiah 13, we unpack some hard but necessary truths that will bless you if you watch all the way through. Friend, this may be a bit of a challenging word but if there are areas of compromise in your life, today is the day to deal with them. You don't have to do it in your own strength - check out the full video here for encouragement and prayer. I'm cheering you on as you pursue undivided loyalty to our amazing God! P.S. Need help identifying areas of compromise or establishing holy habits? Grab the Nehemiah Bible Study Guide for helpful self-evaluation questions and next steps. It's never too late to align your life with God's standards!

I would tell her not to skip the parts of Scripture that feel uncomfortable or confusing, especially the ones that seem intimidating....
Hey Reader, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the role community plays in spiritual growth, especially in seasons when God is stretching us, calling us forward, and inviting us to grow in ways we didn’t even realize we needed. For the past few years, I’ve been part of an online community that has deeply impacted my life and calling. Every person in that space is a believer, but more than that, they are believers actively responding to God’s call through writing, leadership, business...
Hey Reader, As we prepare to step into February, the month when conversations about love fill the air, I’ve been reflecting on something tender and true: If I could tell my younger self the truth about God’s love, this is what I’d say… God’s love is constant. It wasn’t until I became an adult that I really understood what that meant.
