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!

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....
