Mornings with Jeff & Rebecca

It's easy to love people who are kind to us. Jesus calls us to something deeper… loving even the people who are hard to love.

We often say “there's always tomorrow.” But every day we live is also one less day. That reminder makes me want to make the most of the time God has given me.

I thought I was going to teach my son about the Bible while we sat in a pharmacy line… but God used him to teach me instead. 

Lots of voices online say “follow me.” Jesus says it too – but His invitation isn't about content. It's about a life that leads to eternity.

Being rich doesn't always mean having more money. The Bible says to let the word of Christ dwell in you richly… because when life gets hard, God's truth is what carries you through.

Sometimes we need someone in our life who can lovingly say, “Hey… remember what God showed you?” Accountability isn't always comfortable, but it can be a real gift.

A little boy at a baseball game gave away the home run ball he caught… and it reminded me how proud a father feels when he sees generosity. God loves a cheerful giver.

Sometimes we make our plans and then ask God to bless them. But the doors He opens are always better. When God opens a door, no one can shut it.

It's easy to focus on the routine, but God is after the heart.

The world has been feeling pretty heavy lately. I'm reminding myself today that I don't have to carry the anxiety - I can give it to God and let His peace guard my heart.

Ever told someone you'd pray for them… and then forgot? I've done that too. But prayer isn't just a kind response. It's a promise to carry someone before God.

We can't argue our way into heaven… but God made a way through Jesus. 

Not every thought you have is true. When a thought doesn't line up with what God says about you, you don't have to keep it.

Strength doesn't always come from comfort or full stomachs. Sometimes God meets us in the quiet spaces and reminds us where real strength comes from.

Jesus kept His promise to rise again… and He will keep His promise to return. If you're waiting on God today, remember: He keeps His word.

Olympians don't get there by accident. A strong faith doesn't either - it grows through small, daily choices to stay close to God.

We don't usually run away from God… we drift. The good news is He welcomes us back, one small step at a time

A simple message at the right moment helped inspire The Chosen. You never know how one encouraging word could change someone's direction today.

Ever catch yourself asking God to bless your plan instead of following His? Real blessing isn't found in doing it our way… it's found in trusting Him.

Ever have a moment where you walk away thinking, “Wow… I feel like dirt”? Here's the reminder I need too: God formed us from dust and still calls us holy.

God's silence can feel confusing… but silence doesn't mean absence. Sometimes He's right there, strengthening you for what's ahead.

If your faith feels a little dry right now, you're not alone. God promises to pour water on thirsty ground… and He knows exactly how to refresh your heart.

Feeling unseen can be heavy. But God promises this… “I will not forget you.” You have not been overlooked by Him, not even for a moment.

It's easy to focus on everything that needs fixing… but peace comes when we focus on the Fixer instead.

Comparison is loud… but God's truth is louder. You were intentionally created and wonderfully made.

Shame tells us to sit on the sidelines... but if God has forgiven you, you're not disqualified.

Burnout doesn't mean you're weak. It means you've been carrying a lot. Jesus invites the tired and the overwhelmed to come to Him and find real rest.

A stone doesn't break on the first strike. It takes time and persistence. If you're praying for someone's heart to soften, don't stop. God is still working.

Watching someone you love drift away can feel like losing hold of a balloon: you reach, you try, and then all you can do is watch. The good news? God sees them even when you can't reach them.

Cats can sleep anywhere and look completely at peace… meanwhile I'm over here overthinking everything. Maybe there's something to learn there about contentment.

When life doesn't go according to plan, God still knows exactly where He's leading you. Sometimes trust starts before understanding.

Just like frozen pipes need a drip to keep from bursting, our hearts need prayer to keep anxiety from building up. A little talk with God goes a long way.

I'm learning that forgiving myself can be harder than asking God for forgiveness. But if He says I'm forgiven, maybe it's time to stop holding onto what He already let go of.

Forgiveness isn't easy... especially when the hurt is real. But God meets us in the middle of it and helps us take the next step.

Some days the most honest prayer is, “God, I'm tired and I need You.” And that's enough.

Sometimes the hardest forgiveness to accept is God's... especially when we keep judging ourselves. Romans 5:8 reminds us we were loved before we ever cleaned things up.

If I can fall asleep on a plane while all kinds of impossible things are happening, I'm learning I can trust God to carry me through the impossible seasons too. Sometimes peace starts with letting go.

Grief doesn't always come with warning, but God promises He is near to the brokenhearted. If you're struggling to find the words to pray, you don't have to walk through it alone.

If you're feeling alone today, this promise still stands: God is with you, strengthening you and holding you steady. Sometimes a simple prayer is enough.

It's easy to say everything is 'fine' when it really isn't. Jeremy shares about a moment when life felt overwhelming, and his honest prayer to God. 

Whether you got a late start, got off track or suffered loss along the way, God can make up for what you lack.

God's word is like a lighthouse, showing the way and the danger.
