Mornings with Jeff & Rebecca

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.

God doesn't expect you to fix your life and carry the weight of problems on your own. In fact, He knows you can't.

These kids will inspire you to have a child-like faith, and trust in the One who can fix anything.

I'm always trying to figure out what I want to change or improve in the New Year, but this time, I decided to ask God what He wants. I'll share with you the verse He led me to, to help refocus my life and walk in His ways. 

Surrendering something to God is not always easy when we are holding on too tight. It can take bravery and trust to let Him move things out that don't belong. 

A song can have special impact depending on what you are facing. It can offer comfort, help you worship or get you through a hardship while leaning on truth. For Jeremy, one special song stood out above all others in 2025. What would it be for you?

Every good and perfect gift comes from above, and the perfect lamb of God was the most precious. Jesus was the only gift the world needed and his arrival opened the floodgates of forgiveness! 

The seed and the sower parable from Jesus has a lot to teach about being fruitful for the Kingdom of God.

In Isaiah, Jesus is given four different names, but why and what do each of these names mean? Jeremy talks about it in today's Morning Motivator.

Comfort and convenience are not the calling of God. Following Jesus is what He is asking, and that's not always easy or comfortable. 

You can feel so much pressure to make everything perfect, that you forget to be present and miss out on the truly important moments. 

If you have messed up in life, God doesn't just throw you away. You may have to learn some hard lessons but there's still room for redemption and another chance.

We have a Christmas decoration on our tree that is simply the word 'HOPE,' but it's more than just a decoration. It is the gift of God for you and for me.

You wouldn't invite someone to dinner and expect them to pay the bill if they had no money. In the same way, Jesus paid the bill He knew we couldn't pay.
