Have you ever struggled to open your Bible or felt disconnected from God? In today's Crosswalk Devotional, we reflect on Galatians 6:9 and discover that spiritual weariness doesn't mean your faith has failed. Even the most faithful believers experience seasons of exhaustion, discouragement, and spiritual dryness—but God invites us to keep taking small, faithful steps instead of giving up. Rather than striving for the perfect quiet time, God calls us to remain faithful in the little things. One verse, one prayer, or one quiet moment in His presence can become the beginning of renewed strength. Even when you can't see it, God is working beneath the surface, producing spiritual growth that will bear fruit in His perfect timing. Highlights: Discover why spiritual weariness is a normal part of the Christian journey—not a sign of failed faith. Learn what Galatians 6:9 teaches about perseverance when you feel spiritually exhausted. Be encouraged that faithfulness matters more than feelings or motivation. Find practical ways to reconnect with God through small, consistent daily habits. Understand how seasons of dryness often become places where God develops deeper spiritual maturity. Rest in the promise that God is producing a harvest, even when you can't yet see the fruit. Join the Conversation Have you ever gone through a spiritually dry season?

Full Transcript Below: What to Do When You Feel Spiritually Unmotivated By Sarah Frazer Bible Reading:“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” - Galatians 6:9 (ESV) I didn’t want to read my Bible. That is something that is hard to admit, especially since I’ve been a Christian for over twenty-five years. Of course, it hasn’t always been this way. Many mornings, I wake up ready to open up God’s Word and dive in. On other days, I’ve woken up late, or weary, or both. The Bible sits on the table next to my favorite chair unopened for the day. The guilt washes over me, and I wonder if tomorrow will be better. Only tomorrow isn’t better, and my life spirals into a pattern of being spiritually unmotivated. How do we keep going, keep having faith, and keep trusting God when our spiritual life feels empty? After a while, I’ve missed more than just a day, but a routine. After neglecting my time with God, I’ve seen a shift in my heart. Something is just… off. Many spiritual leaders, teachers, and authors talk about these seasons. They often call this time in our lives the “wilderness” season. This metaphor comes from the stories in the Bible when God would lead people into a physical wilderness, with little water, food, or shelter. It is a spot where maybe God’s blessings seem nonexistent. Our wilderness season isn’t something we rush through, muster through, or a time to abandon our faith. The hardest thing for me in a season of deep hardship, whether that is physically, spiritually, or emotionally, is that my motivation for the spiritual disciplines comes and goes. Our faith doesn’t feel vibrant, but dry. Let me offer some encouragement right here: a lack of enthusiasm doesn’t mean a lack of faith; it just means you are human. Paul writes in Galatians 6:9 to the believers: “Let us not grow weary in doing good…” Paul acknowledged the possibility and likelihood of being weary. In fact, Paul also included himself in that category. He said, “Let us…” It was even possible and probably that Paul would grow tired. Even faithful believers get exhausted! The answer Paul offers is not, “try harder…” but “don’t give up.” I’ll admit that in the middle of feeling fatigued, I always imagined God telling me to try harder, do better, and just move forward. In the middle of my messes and mistakes, God instead invites me to explore maybe why I’m so tired. Some simple self-reflection with the help of God's Spirit can help us pinpoint a reason for our wilderness season. Maybe it is because of physical exhaustion. Life is full, and many times we enter a period of time where we can get very little sleep, and our bodies are just tired. Emotional heaviness can also cause stress and discouragement. Carrying the weight of emotional hurt and heartache, whether that is our own or others’, leaves us fatigued. The dry seasons of life, especially our spiritual life, can sometimes be because of the repetitive nature of our lives. Getting up, doing the same thing, and repeating our days week after week, month after month, can wear us out. When we find ourselves in this type of routine, we might also place unrealistic expectations on what a quiet time with God “should” look like. What do we do when we wake up each morning unable to motivate ourselves spiritually? First, we keep it simple and small. Read one verse. Write a verse on a card and keep it by your bed or in your bathroom. Take one moment of your morning and turn towards God. As you do this, remove the pressure to have the “perfect” quiet time. Or, better yet, don’t try to copy or emulate what your time with God used to be like. Our faith is a growing faith, which means it changes. Paul’s answer to weariness was not to work harder, but not to give up. Showing up imperfectly is better than not showing up at all. Faithfulness goes much deeper than simple motivation. Paul says we will feel weary, but the harvest is coming. He says we will “reap,” which means there will be growth and fruit! If you feel unmotivated today, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to have it all together to keep going. God simply invites you not to give up. To take one small step. To trust that even in this season, He is growing something you cannot yet see. Intersecting Faith & Life: When you feel spiritually unmotivated, what is one small, simple way you can turn your attention back to God today? Try simply to read a verse, or say one prayer on your way to work this morning. Put your Bible in a place where you drink your coffee or get ready. The audio version of the Bible is also a great way to connect with God on the go.

The people wanted visible, earthly control, but God warned them that the king they desired would take their sons, daughters, fields, servants, livestock, and freedom. What looked like security would become bondage.TS Wright connects this passage to the believer's daily walk with Christ. When life feels unstable, chaotic, or uncertain, the faithful response is not to demand our own solution, but to go before the Lord in prayer. Like Samuel, we must listen carefully, seek God's will, and ask whether what we are requesting is truly what God desires.This episode challenges listeners to consider a vital question: Have we embraced Jesus only as Savior, or have we also surrendered to Him as Lord and King?Key Themes1 Samuel 8 as a warning passageIsrael's rejection of God as KingSamuel's first response: prayerThe danger of demanding our own wayUnintended consequences of rejecting God's ruleJesus Christ as Savior, Lord, and KingLearning to ask God what He wants us to pursueSurrender, obedience, and spiritual clarityThe difference between earthly rule and divine kingshipKey Scriptures Referenced1 Samuel 8John 16:33Romans 1:18 and followingPsalm 100Psalm 117Psalm 91Psalm 20Matthew 6:9–13Psalm 46:10Episode TakeawayBe careful what you ask God for when your heart is not surrendered to His will. Israel demanded a king and received one, but the consequences were severe. The call for believers today is to stop resisting the Lord's rule and fully embrace Jesus Christ as King over every part of life.Call to ActionThis week, go before the Lord and ask:“Lord, in what ways am I not making You King of my life?”Then ask Him what He wants you to pursue, who He wants you to pray for, and what He wants you to focus on in this season.Closing EncouragementGo forth in total surrender to the One who owns and reigns over all creation and let the great harvest begin.

Teachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyLeviticus 18 establishes the covenant boundaries that preserve life, order, and identity among the people of Yahuah.This chapter does not introduce random prohibitions.It confronts a pattern of life that had already become normal in Egypt and Canaan.Israel is commanded not to follow what they came out of, and not to adopt what they are entering into.Because what is practiced becomes established.And what is established produces consequence.Leviticus 18 reveals that corruption is not isolated.It begins in private, spreads outward, becomes normalized, and brings judgment upon a people and their land.This chapter governs relationships, worship, and creation order so that Israel does not become the very nations that were removed before them.This is not cultural instruction.This is covenant preservation.────────────────────WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGECovenant Authority Defines LifeLeviticus 18:1–5Yahuah declares Himself before giving command. Israel is not self-governed. Life is preserved only within His statutes and judgments.Precepts:Exodus 20:2Deuteronomy 4:1Ezekiel 20:11Nehemiah 9:29Unlawful Access Violates Covenant StructureLeviticus 18:6–18“Uncovering nakedness” defines unlawful sexual access.

Trust is broken, and community structure collapses.Precepts:Exodus 20:14Proverbs 6:32Malachi 2:14–16Leviticus 15Corrupt Worship Destroys Future GenerationsLeviticus 18:21Molech represents the offering of life to false power. Worship outside Yahuah's command results in destruction.Precepts:Deuteronomy 12:31Jeremiah 7:31Jeremiah 32:35Creation Order Is Not OptionalLeviticus 18:22–23Violations of created order are defined as abomination.

4th Sunday in LentAs a person matures in their faith, one realizes how blind they were prior to seeing more clearly. This is exactly what today's Gospel is about. Many people think they can see clearly. But Jesus shows us that the deepest blindness is spiritual blindness. "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light" (Ephesians 5:8).Scripture Readings for March 15, 20261 Samuel 16:1, 6-7, 10-13Psalm 23: 1-6Ephesians 5:8-14John 9:1-41

Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles and the judgments he uttered.” - 1 Chronicles 16:11-12, ESV The 2026 Winter Olympics (Milano Cortina 2026) shine a spotlight on some of the strongest athletes in the world. No matter what sport they compete in, Olympic athletes are constantly seeking strength. Many of them pray for God’s help to be the best they can be, both physically and mentally. That includes help from God for the discipline and endurance they need to practice and compete well. But you don’t have to be a downhill skier or a figure skater to understand why it’s important to be strong. Whether you’re launching a new project at work, dealing with a challenging health situation, trying to resolve a family conflict, or facing any other stressful situation in this fallen world, you know how much God’s strength can empower you. God’s help is vital to succeeding with whatever you’re trying to do, whether or not you’ll get a gold medal when you win. In 1 Chronicles 16:11-12, the Bible encourages you to look beyond your own limited power to seek God’s strength, which can empower you without limits. These verses call you to seek God’s presence continually. Instead of just saying a one-time prayer during a crisis, you should notice God’s presence with you throughout your day and check in with God regularly through prayer. When you make a habit of seeking God’s strength, you’ll find the power you need to help you with any kind of situation – even the most challenging situations that seem like they would be impossible to overcome. These Bible verses also encourage you to remember the wondrous works God has done, like his miracles and judgments. Olympic commentators love to talk about an athlete’s “track record.” They look back at each athlete’s past competition results and other information from the past (like injuries and recoveries) to predict future success. You can do the same with your faith. When you feel overwhelmed by a challenge you’re facing right now, look back on how God has helped you in the past. Think of the times when you’ve already experienced the wonder of God’s work in your life – like when God provided exactly what you needed, or when God empowered you to do something you couldn’t do on your own. The more you remember God’s past faithfulness, the more that will fuel your faith to look for the wonder of God’s work in your life every day and let that evidence inspire you to trust God now. In this year’s winter Olympics, thousands of athletes will chase gold, silver, and bronze medals. But those prizes are temporary. God’s presence with you is something you can enjoy both now and forever. As you work toward your own goals and pursue your own adventures this year, don’t get so caught up in trying to achieve temporary results that you miss your wonderful Creator and Heavenly Father walking right beside you. Whether you reach the podium of success or make mistakes that hurt like falling on ice, God will be there with you, empowering you with his strength. You can afford to bravely take big risks to keep learning and growing, just like Olympic athletes do. Your worth doesn’t come from your performance; it comes from your relationship with God as one of his beloved children. So, whatever challenge you’re facing today, seek God and his strength. God is with you, and he’s ready to give you everything you need for the journey ahead. Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider why it’s important to seek God and his strength, reflect on these questions: If you were training for your current life season like an Olympian, what’s the one area where you most need God’s strength right now? How can you seek God’s presence “continually” rather than just when you’re facing a challenge? What will help you remember to ask God for more strength on a regular basis? Think of one “wondrous work” or miracle God has done in your past. How does remembering that help you face a fear you have today? What’s one way you can celebrate this week to thank God for answering a prayer you prayed in the past? Can you plan to look at old photos that remind you of God’s answer, post about it on social media, or share the story with a friend?

Fourth Sunday in Ordinary TimeOften times the word blessed means successful, comfortable, and secure. In Jesus' sermon on the eight Beatitudes it seems Jesus speaks of “blessed,” as those who seem… unlucky. It may come as a surprise but Jesus equates blessed to be poor, meek, mourning, and persecuted. To desire suffering or glory for its own sake is not the point rather faithfulness in following God's will. Padre Pio reminds us, "blessed is the crisis that made you grow, the fall that made you gaze up to heaven, the problem that made you look for God."Scripture Reading for February 1, 2025Zephaniah 2:3; 3:12-13Psalm 146:6-101 Corinthians 1:26-31Matthew 5:1-12

JOIN THE WELLHave you ever been praying faithfully and yet still feel anxious, unsettled, or emotionally exhausted?In this episode, Rebekah explores a gentle but important truth: sometimes prayer alone doesn't produce peace, not because prayer is ineffective, but because how we're praying (and what we're asking prayer to do) matters.This conversation invites you to move beyond anxious, outcome-focused prayers and into a deeper, more grounded way of trusting God.Why praying for specific outcomes can sometimes increase anxiety instead of peaceHow Jesus models honest prayer and surrender in the GardenWhat Scripture teaches about trust as the foundation of peaceThe connection between obedience, repentance, and inner restWhy ignoring your body's limits can keep your nervous system stuck in survival modeHow faith, formation, and physiology work togetherKey Scriptures:Isaiah 26:3Romans 15:13Psalm 34:14Isaiah 48:22Psalm 23This episode is for the woman who:Is praying but still feels restlessWants peace without bypassing truthIs ready to trust God more deeply...not just ask Him to fix thingsIf you're longing for a place to practice this kind of honest, embodied faith in community, The Well is open to you.

Sunday Morning Service12/7/25Verses:John 1:1-18Isaiah 55:10-11Hebrews 1:1-2Isaiah 55:1-3Matthew 4:4Deuteronomy 8:1-3John 6:32Ecclesiastes 12:13Psalm 37:4Hebrews 3:15-17John 1:12-13John 14:15
Welcome to week eight of our powerful sermon series, Present Yourselves: Transformed by a Life of Worship. In this week's message titled “Worship Gathered,” Pastor Casey Olsen unpacks the rich truth of Hebrews 10:24–25, urging the Church not to neglect meeting together but to embrace the transformative power of gathered worship.In a culture that normalizes isolation, overcommitment, and DIY spirituality, this sermon reminds us of the biblical rhythm of community that God designed for our flourishing. Pastor Casey speaks directly to the spiritual drift many believers experience when life pulls us away from the people of God, and outlines what we lose when gathering becomes optional—and more importantly, what we gain when we stay rooted in Christian community.Whether you're a church leader, parent, student, or someone wrestling with your weekly rhythms, this message is for you. You'll be challenged, encouraged, and invited to take hold of the blessing of presence in both Sunday worship and life-on-life discipleship.
Twenty Ninth Sunday in Ordinary TimeAll three of the Sunday Mass readings have the theme of perseverance. Moses persisting in the fight against the Amalek's, St. Paul in encouraging St. Timothy to remain faithful in teaching and witness both when it's convenient and inconvenient, and the persistent widow in asking for a judgement from an unjust judge. We need to hear them over and over again. Why? For the simple reason because our hearts become wearisome. Don't quit. You are doing great. God is with you. Your future is shaped by the habits you repeat, not the goals you set. May God help us to run so as to win.Scripture Readings for October 19, 2025Exodus 17:8-13Psalm 121:1-82 Timothy 3:14-4:2Luke 18:1-8
It's the Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time! This week, Moses holds up his staff to secure victory in battle against the Amalekites.

Send us a textEpisode Title: When Morning Feels Heavy: A Prayer for Clarity and Calm (Psalm 5)Episode SummaryHow do you begin your day when anxiety, betrayal, or emotional exhaustion hits before your feet even touch the floor?In this episode of Counseling Through the Psalms, James Long, Jr. walks through Psalm 5—David's honest, early-morning cry for help and guidance. This psalm begins with groaning and ends with singing, showing us how to move from desperation to devotion, even when surrounded by lies, fear, or confusion.Psalm 5 offers a biblical pattern of prayer for the weary, the slandered, and the spiritually disoriented. If you are longing for direction, justice, or shelter, this psalm offers guidance and comfort.Key TakeawaysPrayer is not performance, but preparation. It is a priestly offering of your burdens to God.God's holiness and justice give clarity in a morally confused world.Our access to God is based on His steadfast love, not our moral record.God's righteousness leads us when life feels directionless.God is our shield and refuge, even when the world feels hostile or uncertain.Scripture FocusPsalm 5:1–12Romans 3:13Psalm 121:42 Samuel (context for David's struggle)Reflect and RespondWhat emotions do you most often carry into your mornings, and how can Psalm 5 reshape your daily rhythm?Are you carrying wounds from betrayal, slander, or misrepresentation?What would it look like to prepare your prayers intentionally each day?Where in your life do you need God to make a straight path right now?Do you truly believe that God's steadfast love secures your place in His presence?Who in your life needs encouragement and refuge right now?Resources and LinksJoin the Community: https://jameslongjr.org/signupnowFree Navigator Level: https://community.jameslongjr.orgSubscribe and FollowListen to Lessons for Life with James Long, Jr. on your favorite podcast platform:Apple Podcasts: https://jameslongjr.org/applepodcastSpotify: https://jameslongjr.org/spotifyAmazon Music: https://jameslongjr.org/amazonmusicGoogle Podcasts: https://jameslongjr.org/googlepodcastYouTube: https://jameslongjr.org/youtubeConnect and ShareInstagram: @drjameslongjr – https://jameslongjr.org/instagramFacebook: https://jameslongjr.org/facebookYouTube: https://jameslongjr.org/youtubeHashtag: #LessonsForLifePodcast ABOUT JAMES AND LESSONS FOR LIFEAre you longing to find answers to the deeper issues of life?

The first thing Solomon taught his son in the book of Proverbs is the importance of fearing the Lord. I believe it should be one of the first things we teach our sons, as well. This principle has been all but lost in many evangelical circles where the love of God is emphasized above all else.Join me for today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn what it means to fear the Lord and why it is so critical that we teach this to our sons.Scripture Used in Today's MessageProverbs 1:7Proverbs 8:13Psalm 34:1-11If you've not read my book, Takin' it to Their Turf. request a copy on my website, www.CampusAmerica.com.You'll be inspired, encouraged, and learn plenty about evangelism and spiritual warfare through the 70+ stories I share of my campus evangelism expereinces.We send a copy to anyone who donates to our ministry, but if you can't do so, simply request a copy by sending us an email.
