Hey Reader,

Our Monday devotionals is back and I’m so excited to walk with you through our newest three-part devotional series called Who Would Imagine A King.

As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, we’ll begin exploring the wonder of Jesus’ kingship; how He fulfills God’s promises, rewrites the rules of leadership, and demonstrates a humility and authority unlike any king the world has ever seen.

As we journey through this series, we’ll reflect on the significance of His birth, the ways His life challenges earthly notions of power, and the invitation for us to bring our questions, awe, and worship before Him. Each week, Scripture will guide our reflection, helping us see not just the history of kings, but the heart of the King who reigns over all.

Get ready to see Jesus in ways you may have never imagined, and to let His story reshape your understanding of authority, worship, and humility.

Now, let’s begin Part One of Who Would Imagine A King.

Who Would Imagine A King (Pt. 1)

"For us a Child is born ... and the government will be His shoulders" - Isaiah (NLT)

When I was a little girl, one of my favorite songs came from the soundtrack of The Preacher's Wife. It was called, Who Would Imagine a King.

Even as a child, those lyrics moved me. There was something so noble, so honorable, so glorious about the recognition of Jesus as King. The words planted a seed in my heart that never left.

Years later, I found myself singing that same song as a lullaby to my own children. Truth wrapped in melody, passed from one generation to the next.

However, when I began to study the Word more deeply, that same song began to reshape itself in my mind. I realized that the kind of King Jesus is goes far beyond anything I imagined when I first heard that song. In Scripture, kings were not simply symbolic leaders. They were the moral compass and spiritual standard of the nation. Their decisions shaped the destiny of the people. Their obedience or rebellion influenced everything, from warfare to worship.

According to biblical history, there were forty-two kings between the divided kingdoms. Nineteen ruled the northern kingdom of Israel and twenty ruled the southern kingdom of Judah (1 Kings 12–2 Kings 25; 2 Chronicles 10–36), and then there were three additional rulers who reigned over the united monarchy before the split (1 Samuel 8, 1 Kings 11). The northern kingdom never had a truly righteous king. The southern kingdom had a mixture, with some deeply committed to the Lord and others who strayed far away. Understanding this helps us appreciate the significance of Jesus being born through the line of Judah. Judah was the tribe through which God promised a forever King, one whose throne would never end (Genesis 49:10; 2 Samuel 7:16).

Judah is more than a person. It is a tribe, a territory, a royal lineage. Jesus arriving through Judah reveals His authority over people, places, and powers. Even though He was not born in a palace, He was born into a kingdom. Revelation 11:15 reminds us that this world belongs to Him. His birth on earth established His rightful rule as the King of kings.

Today's Challenge: Reflect on the authority and kingship of Jesus in your own life. How can you recognize His rule over your decisions, your relationships, and your daily choices? Take one step today to invite His guidance into an area where you’ve been leaning on your own understanding.

You don’t need a commentary or a stack of extra books—not yet. What you do need is to learn how to use all the tools already inside the Bible you have sitting on your shelf. In this video, I’m going to show you why your Bible is far more powerful than you may realize, and how to study it deeply using the resources built right into it. I’ll walk you through the exact tools that helped me create depth in both my Bible reading and my Bible study—without buying anything new.

Our First LIVE Zoom Call is THIS Thursday!

Wondering which Tier you should join?

If you’ve been thinking about joining Tier 2, this is the perfect time to step in.​
December is our launch month, and it’s going to look a little different—in the best way.

Our first December Gathering will be a warm welcome: introductions, vision casting, and a foundational teaching to set the tone for our year of learning together.
​Our second December Gathering will be our annual Blessing & Prayer Board Party, where we prepare our hearts for the year ahead with intention, Scripture, and prayer.

Then in January, we step fully into our regular rhythm:

• Gathering #1: A teaching focused on the 12 Tribes of Israel, helping you build true biblical literacy.
• Gathering #2: A guided walk-through of a selected book of the Bible, where we slow down, read with clarity, and strengthen our study habits (this book has already been shared in the Patreon Community Newsletter).

Each gathering is about 60-90 minutes, with space for discussion and questions so we can grow together, not in isolation.

And remember: Tier 2 gives you access to all resources, companion guides, monthly downloads, and both gatherings each month. These gatherings are our community space, and that’s what makes them so meaningful.

If your heart is asking for guidance, structure, and connection, Tier 2 was created for you.

​Join us and let’s walk into this next season together—strong, equipped, and expectant.
