After years of wilderness wandering and hard-fought battles, Israel finally arrived at the place God had long promised. And what did they do? They took possession. They settled. They unpacked. Our springboard for today's discussion is: "Thus the Lord gave to Israel all the land that he swore to give to their fathers. And they took possession of it, and they settled there." —Joshua 21:43 (ESV)This verse isn't just historical—it's deeply personal. It's a call to stop living like temporary visitors in the promises of God. Many of us have crossed our spiritual Jordan, accepted salvation, but we still live with a wilderness mindset—half-expecting things to go wrong, still lugging baggage of guilt, fear, or insecurity.But God's invitation is clear: Unpack your bags. Build a life in His promises. Joy, peace, grace, purpose—these aren't weekend getaways. They're home. Victory is not a short-term lease. It's your permanent address.We need to remember that too many believers live like spiritual renters—grateful but unsettled, saved but still striving, blessed but not resting. But God's done the heavy lifting. The walls have fallen. The giants have been driven out. And now? It's your turn to live like you belong—because you do.Settle into grace. Breathe in peace. Feast on joy. Live with purpose. The Promised Land isn't a place you visit; it's the reality you inhabit because of Christ.Question of the Day:Are you still living out of your spiritual suitcase, or have you fully unpacked into the life God has given you?Let's Pray:Lord, help me to stop wandering in doubt and to settle fully into the promises You've given me. Let me live like a true child of the Kingdom—anchored, joyful, and at home in Your grace. In Jesus' name, Amen.Let's Get To Work!Support MyR2B Ministries:MyR2B Ministries is our full-time ministry.

Some battles require more than strategy—they demand a miracle. Joshua found himself in the thick of war, outnumbered and racing the setting sun. Instead of retreating or relying solely on human might, he looked up and prayed one of the boldest prayers ever recorded: “Sun, stand still.” Not whispered. Not doubted. But declared aloud in faith before all of Israel.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“At that time Joshua spoke to the Lord… and he said in the sight of Israel, ‘Sun, stand still at Gibeon, and moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.'” — Joshua 10:12 (ESV)Audacious prayer isn't about demanding from God—it's about believing in Him. Joshua wasn't reckless. He was confident in the God who promised victory. His boldness wasn't arrogance—it was anchored in obedience. And God honored it.We've gotten comfortable with small prayers. “Lord, if it's your will.” “Just help me get through the day.” There's nothing wrong with those prayers—but what if God is waiting for you to pray for something only He can do?Never forget…don't shrink your prayers to match your faith—stretch your faith to match God's power. That cancer diagnosis? That broken marriage? That prodigal child? Pray like you believe the One who commands the sun and moon still hears your voice.The miracle isn't in the words—it's in the heart behind them. Faith that believes. Faith that moves mountains. Faith that stops the sun.Question of the Day:What bold, God-sized prayer do you need to stop whispering and start declaring today?Let's Pray:Lord, ignite my faith. Teach me to pray prayers that shake the heavens—not out of pride, but because I believe You can do the impossible.

Life is full of noise—voices demanding our attention, steering our decisions, and shaping our direction. At the end of his life, Joshua gathered the people and laid down a bold declaration: "Choose this day whom you will serve." He wasn't just making a personal decision—he was leading his household with clarity and courage. In a world pulling us in a thousand directions, that same choice confronts us daily: Which voice will we follow?Our springboard for today's discussion is:“And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve… But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” —Joshua 24:15 (ESV)Every day is filled with choices—and the voices we listen to often determine the roads we take. The voice of fear tells us to stay safe. The voice of compromise whispers, “It's not that big a deal.” The voice of culture yells, “Follow your heart!” But God's voice calls us higher, deeper, and truer—to a life rooted in purpose and promise.Joshua didn't ask the people to make a future commitment. He didn't say, “Choose when it's easier.” He said, “Choose today.” Because the real danger isn't loud rebellion—it's silent drift. When we stop choosing God daily, we slowly drift away without even noticing.Joshua didn't just choose for himself—he chose for his home. That's leadership. That's devotion. And that's a model for us to follow.Question of the Day:Whose voice are you listening to today—and what choice is it leading you to make?Let's Pray:Lord, help me to silence every voice that pulls me away from You.

There are moments when we all stand before something that feels too big, too fortified, too impossible to overcome. That's your Jericho. It might be a relationship that seems beyond repair. A fear that won't let go. A habit that owns too much of you. But what if I told you that God has already declared victory, just like He did with Joshua? Even before the walls fell, God said, “I have given Jericho into your hand.” That's a promise to hold onto.Our springboard for today's discussion is:Joshua 6:2 (ESV) – “And the Lord said to Joshua, ‘See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and mighty men of valor.'”Jericho wasn't just a city; it was a symbol of impossibility. And God's strategy? March in silence. Trust when it doesn't make sense. Obey without full explanation. The Israelites didn't tear down Jericho's walls—they walked in faith, and God did what only He could do. That's the same pattern for us.Maybe you've been circling your own Jericho for what feels like years. You're tired. You're frustrated. But hear this: the wall didn't fall on day one. Or day five. It crumbled on the seventh day, after obedience and perseverance.The shout of victory doesn't come before the march—it comes after. Your obedience invites God's breakthrough. So don't stop now. Keep walking. Keep trusting. Keep believing.Question of the Day:What wall in your life do you need to start circling with obedience and faith today?Let's Pray:Lord, help me to trust You with my Jericho. Teach me to walk in faith, even when the walls look immovable. I know You've already declared victory—I will keep marching.

So much of our world tells us to conform, to fit a mold, to try and be like someone else. But God doesn't do copies. He crafts originals. That's why the story of Caleb is so powerful—not because he was famous like Moses or commanding like Joshua—but because he never stopped being Caleb.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"So now give me this hill country of which the Lord spoke on that day…" — Joshua 14:12 (ESV)At 85 years old, Caleb stood tall and unshaken. He wasn't asking for comfort. He was asking for the hill country—the hard ground, the challenge, the promise. Why? Because he believed God had saved that exact portion for him. And Caleb wasn't interested in walking someone else's path.God had made a promise, and Caleb had clung to it for over four decades. He had a different spirit—one that didn't follow the crowd but followed God. Caleb wasn't waiting to be someone else. He was ready to be exactly who God created him to be.That same call comes to us today. You don't need to be Moses. You don't have to lead like Joshua. You need to be you—the person God crafted with intention and purpose. He's assigned you hills others might avoid. But He's equipped you to climb them.Don't compare. Don't copy. Don't cave. Your calling is real. Your identity is sacred. And your Canaan awaits.Question of the Day:What part of your life are you trying to fit into someone else's mold instead of walking confidently in who God made you to be?Let's Pray:Lord, thank You for creating me with purpose and intention. Help me to stop comparing and start embracing the identity You gave me. I want to be bold like Caleb and walk fully in my calling.

Patriots Fourth round, 137th overall pick, defensive tackle Joshua Farmer addresses the media on Saturday, April 26, 2025.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever faced a battle so big, so overwhelming, that you knew you couldn't win it on your own? Maybe it wasn't a battlefield with swords and shields—maybe it was your marriage, your health, your addiction, or a war raging in your mind. In moments like those, it's easy to feel like you're outnumbered and outmatched. But here's a bit of wisdom to remember—you are not fighting for victory… you are fighting from it. Joshua wasn't alone in the heat of battle. Time and again, God stepped in—sending hailstones, stopping the sun, throwing the enemy into confusion. When Joshua prayed, heaven responded. And when you pray in faith, heaven still responds.Our springboard for today's discussion is:Joshua 10:14 (ESV) – “There has been no day like it before or since, when the Lord heeded the voice of a man, for the Lord fought for Israel.”This verse is more than history—it's a promise. God heard the voice of a man and fought on his behalf. And He still does. Joshua was a warrior, yes—but he never fought alone. God's intervention wasn't random. It was the result of bold, believing prayer. When Joshua spoke, God moved.We are not called to sit passively in life's warzones. Faith isn't idle. It steps up, steps in, and calls upon the power of heaven. Your Jericho? It's not too big. Your enemy? Not too strong. The same God who stopped the sun for Joshua can stop anything that stands against you.So pray like Joshua. Fight in faith. Show up—and watch God show out.Question of the Day:What battle are you facing today that you need to stop fighting alone—and start trusting God to fight for you?Let's Pray:Lord, remind us today that we are not alone in the fight. Give us boldness to pray big prayers and trust You for mighty victories. You are our Defender.

When Joshua stood at the edge of Canaan, ready to lead Israel into the land of promise, God didn't give him a battle plan or a strategy session. He gave him one command: Stay in the Word. The secret to claiming victory wasn't about military might—it was about spiritual depth.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night... For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." —Joshua 1:8 (ESV)God's instructions were clear. Joshua wasn't to rely on strength, numbers, or clever plans. He was to saturate his mind, heart, and speech with Scripture. Why? Because God's Word is the battle plan. It's truth that drives out fear, promises that anchor our faith, and direction that keeps us walking in obedience.Lucado puts it this way—your success in Canaan depends on your relationship with the Word. Not because the Bible is magic, but because it's living and active. It feeds the soul, fuels courage, and sharpens discernment.Too many of us want victory without the voice of God. We want blessings without the Bible. But if you're not living in the Word, you're not walking in the land of promise.Your Canaan—your purpose, your breakthrough, your spiritual inheritance—won't be accessed through good vibes or religious routines. It will be unlocked by a mind renewed by truth and a heart anchored in God's voice.Question of the Day:What role does God's Word play in your daily battle plan—and is it time to return to it as your first weapon, not your last resort?Let's Pray:Lord, draw us back to Your Word.

This isn't just another day. This isn't just another moment. This is your moment. God's been preparing you for this—right here, right now. The question is, will you rise and step into it?Our springboard for today's discussion is:"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." — Joshua 1:9 (ESV)God didn't ask Joshua to become the next Moses. He commanded him to be strong and courageous as Joshua. And friend, He's not asking you to be someone else either. He's calling you—just as you are—to step forward in bold obedience.

This isn't just another day. This isn't just another moment. This is your moment. God's been preparing you for this—right here, right now. The question is, will you rise and step into it?Our springboard for today's discussion is:"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." — Joshua 1:9 (ESV)God didn't ask Joshua to become the next Moses. He commanded him to be strong and courageous as Joshua. And friend, He's not asking you to be someone else either. He's calling you—just as you are—to step forward in bold obedience.

There are moments when God brings us right up to the edge—where faith meets fear and action collides with uncertainty. The Jordan River wasn't calm that day. It was overflowing, dangerous, and impassable. And yet, God told Israel to walk into it. Not after it settled. Not after it made sense. He said, Step in now.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"…as soon as those bearing the ark had come as far as the Jordan... the waters coming down from above stood and rose up in a heap very far away." — Joshua 3:15-16 (ESV)There's a lesson here that cuts right to the heart of what it means to trust God. The waters didn't part until the priests' feet touched the edge. Obedience preceded the miracle. It wasn't the miracle that invited faith—it was faith that invited the miracle.You see, every one of us has a Jordan—something God is calling us to cross, even while it rages in front of us. Maybe it's leaving behind an addiction, starting that ministry, forgiving someone, or walking away from comfort into calling. And often, God doesn't give us the entire blueprint. He gives us a step. And He says, Go.This kind of faith isn't theoretical. It's wet, raw, and risky. It requires movement while fear whispers “Wait.” But God doesn't part the waters from a distance. He responds when we move.The Promised Land is not behind you. And it's not going to fall into your lap while you camp at the river's edge. Your Canaan begins with one thing: a step. Your Jordan is waiting.Question of the Day:What's your Jordan right now, and are you willing to step in even while the waters are wild?Let's Pray:Lord, I stand at the edge of what looks impossible.

Dear Lands Minister, Stop Crying and Get to Work!

Some of us have grown far too comfortable in the wilderness. Not because God left us there—but because we stopped moving. We've adapted to spiritual dryness like it's normal. It's not. You weren't rescued from Egypt just to camp out in a desert of fear, complacency, or defeat.Think about it: the Israelites were out of Egypt, but they hadn't stepped into Canaan. Forty years of wandering—not because the promise was far, but because their mindset was. They feared the giants, doubted their strength, and forgot the power of the God who split seas.Sound familiar? How many of us live saved—but stuck? Forgiven—but fruitless? We've been delivered, but we haven't crossed over. We've settled in the wasteland.And yet, God still speaks: “Arise. Go over this Jordan.” That's not just history—that's a call to every believer who's been circling spiritual dry land too long.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel.” — Joshua 1:2 (ESV)God didn't bring you out to leave you half-finished. The wilderness is not your home. It's time to stop surviving and start living in the victory Jesus already won for you. Don't confuse being saved with being victorious.The Jordan stands between where you are and where God wants to take you. It's not a barrier—it's a step of trust.Question of the Day:What's the “Jordan” in front of you today—and are you willing to step into God's promise?Let's Pray:Father, we don't want to wander any longer. Give us the boldness to rise, trust You, and move forward into Your promises. In Jesus' name, Amen.Let's Get To Work!Support MyR2B Ministries:MyR2B Ministries is our full-time ministry.

Too many believers are wandering in spiritual circles, living like they're still in the wilderness—even though God's already given them the Promised Land. It's like we're camped out on the edge of breakthrough, yet paralyzed by fear, regret, or the lie that we're not enough. But today, we're flipping that script. You weren't made for the desert. You were made for Canaan.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"Not one word of all the good promises that the Lord had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass." — Joshua 21:45 (ESV)God's promises are not up for debate. They're not dependent on your past, your feelings, or your failures. When Joshua led the people into the Promised Land, every single promise of God came true—not some, not most—all. That same faithfulness still holds today.Here's the truth: many of us are living like our best days are behind us. But in Christ, your Glory Days aren't over—they've just begun. Egypt was your bondage. The wilderness was your refining. But Canaan is your calling. It's where peace replaces panic, courage overwhelms fear, and power breaks through weakness.Ephesians 1:3 tells us we've already been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. That means we're not fighting for victory—we're fighting from victory.So why do we keep circling old battles, nursing old wounds, and settling for spiritual survival when God has called us to spiritual thriving? Step in. Claim it. Your Glory Days start now—because the Promised Land isn't a myth. It's your inheritance.Question of the Day:What “wilderness” mindset do you need to let go of in order to step into your Canaan?Let's Pray:Lord, I don't want to wander anymore.

Love isn't always candlelit dinners and whispered promises. Sometimes, it's holding hands in silence when words fail. Sometimes, it's choosing forgiveness even when your heart is still hurting. Real love isn't fragile—it's forged in the fire of trials. Today, we're talking about a tenacious kind of love—the kind that doesn't run at the first sign of trouble but digs in, fights for connection, and chooses to stay.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." — 1 Corinthians 13:7 (ESV)This verse isn't poetic fluff—it's a challenge. It describes a love that endures. That means it's built to last through disagreements, through misunderstandings, through seasons where love feels more like a decision than a feeling. Love that endures is not passive—it's active. It chooses to stay, to fight for the relationship, to work things out even when it's uncomfortable.The tenacity of love shows up in the hard moments. When you've had the same argument for the hundredth time, when life gets heavy, when finances strain, when illness shows up…tenacious love keeps showing up. It's not about never feeling like giving up—it's about never actually doing it.God's love for us is the ultimate example. He doesn't walk away when we fall short. He pursues. He stays. And He calls us to love one another with that same kind of relentless, unshakable love. Not just when it's easy, but especially when it's hard.Question of the Day:Where in your life is God calling you to show tenacious love today, even if it's tough?Let's Pray:Lord, help me love with endurance. Strengthen me to persevere through the difficult moments. Let my love reflect Yours—steadfast, patient, and true.

When was the last time you had a truly honest conversation with your spouse—one that didn't just scratch the surface but went deep into the heart? Honesty is more than not lying. It's about being open, real, and transparent, even when it's uncomfortable. In today's episode, we're talking about how truth and transparency are essential ingredients for love that lasts.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.” —1 Corinthians 13:6 (ESV)This scripture reveals that genuine love doesn't turn a blind eye or hide behind polite silence. It celebrates what is right. It leans into the hard truth, not to hurt, but to heal. In marriage, honesty isn't a weapon—it's a bridge. It invites intimacy, builds trust, and makes room for real connection.When we choose to be honest, we give our spouse the gift of knowing us—flaws and all. It means admitting mistakes, expressing real feelings, and listening with grace when our partner does the same. God's love for us is never fake, never hidden. It's open and raw and redemptive. Shouldn't our love reflect that, too?Question of the Day:Is there an area in your marriage where more honesty could lead to deeper connection?Let's Pray:Lord, help us to love with truth. Teach us to speak with honesty, listen with humility, and build trust with transparency. May our marriages be places where truth thrives and love grows stronger.

Marriage is more than a partnership; it's a covenant. And love—real love—is more than a feeling. It's a series of intentional choices rooted in God's Word. Today, we're diving into two powerful aspects of love found in 1 Corinthians 13—generosity and virtue—and how they can transform your marriage from surviving to thriving.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way..." —1 Corinthians 13:4-5 (ESV)Genuine love is generous. It gives without tallying, without strings, and without waiting for something in return. In marriage, this means showing up with your time, your energy, your affection—even when it's inconvenient. It means choosing to pour yourself out for your spouse the way Christ poured Himself out for the Church. Generosity in marriage isn't just financial—it's the quiet cup of coffee made before sunrise, the gentle touch when stress is high, the patient ear when words are messy. Generosity says, “I'm all in, even when it costs me something.”And love is virtuous. It carries a moral backbone that holds everything together. Virtue in marriage means being honest, being faithful, and choosing integrity in the little things. It means honoring your vows when it's hard and being the same person behind closed doors as you are in public. A virtuous love builds trust, fosters safety, and nurtures deep connection.When generosity and virtue take root in your marriage, love becomes more than a word. It becomes a lifestyle—a testimony of God's faithfulness.Question of the Day:What's one way you can show generous or virtuous love to your spouse today?Let's Pray:Lord, teach us to love with open hands and upright hearts. Help us to reflect Your generosity and Your virtue in our marriages. In Jesus' name, Amen.Let's Get To Work!Support MyR2B Ministries:MyR2B Ministries is our full-time ministry.

Marriage isn't about who's right—it's about who's ready to love first. Real love, the kind that transforms hearts and strengthens homes, is more than feelings or fleeting passion. It's a decision. A posture. A practice. Today, we're diving into two vital attributes of that kind of love—humility and emotional steadiness. These aren't just biblical ideals; they're everyday choices that help you love your spouse like you truly mean it.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"Love is not arrogant or rude. It is not irritable or resentful." —1 Corinthians 13:5 (ESV)In marriage, humility isn't weakness—it's strength under control. When love is humble, it says, “Your needs matter to me.” It listens more than it speaks. It admits when it's wrong. It doesn't keep score or compete for the upper hand. A humble heart lifts up rather than tears down, and it creates space for grace to flourish in your home.And love that's unflappable? That's the kind that doesn't snap under pressure. It holds its tongue when emotions flare. It's slow to anger, steady in the storm, and it doesn't lash out when things don't go its way. In today's world of short fuses and quick exits, this kind of love is rare—but it's exactly what God calls us to.Humility and calm aren't about stuffing down emotion—they're about channeling it through the lens of love. When both spouses take this approach, arguments turn into conversations, and conflict becomes an opportunity for deeper connection. Love like this doesn't just survive—it thrives.Question of the Day:In what ways can you practice humility and emotional steadiness in your marriage today?Let's Pray:Lord, teach us to love with humility and strength. Help us to put our spouse's needs ahead of our pride, and respond with calm when tensions rise. Shape our hearts to reflect Your love.

Marriage isn't built on the rush of emotion—it's forged in the quiet, daily choices to love like Christ. Today, we're diving into the foundation of lasting love, drawn straight from 1 Corinthians 13. If you've ever wondered what real love looks like in the grind of real life, this message is for you.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"Love is patient and kind." —1 Corinthians 13:4 (ESV)Love that lasts is love that leans in. Patience in marriage is not passive—it's the strength to endure, to listen longer, to wait without anger. When your spouse is having a rough day, when misunderstandings happen, or when expectations go unmet, patience steps in. It doesn't demand change instantly—it believes that growth takes time. That kind of love reflects God's patience with us.And kindness? It's not just about being “nice.” It's active. It's holding your spouse's hand when they're hurting. It's choosing your words carefully, speaking life instead of criticism. It's making coffee in the morning just because. In a world that often celebrates sarcasm or self-protection, kindness is countercultural—and powerful.Patience and kindness aren't just emotional reactions. They're spiritual decisions. They don't depend on how your spouse is acting. They depend on how you're walking with Jesus.Marriage isn't a 50/50 contract. It's 100/100 surrender. And when you love like you mean it—with real patience and real kindness—you build a marriage that mirrors the heart of God.Question of the Day:What is one way you can intentionally show patience or kindness to your spouse today—before they even ask for it?Let's Pray:Lord, teach us to love with patience and kindness. Help us reflect Your heart in our marriages, especially in the small, unseen moments. In Jesus' name, Amen.Let's Get To Work!Support MyR2B Ministries:MyR2B Ministries is our full-time ministry.

Marriage isn't about flashy moments or picture-perfect Instagram posts. It's about the quiet, daily choices to love, even when it's hard. That's the heartbeat of 1 Corinthians 13:4-8—where love is more than a feeling; it's action, sacrifice, and patience in motion. But Paul doesn't start there. Just before diving into the “love chapter,” he makes a stunning statement: Without love, I am nothing.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." — 1 Corinthians 13:1 (ESV)Paul's words cut deep. He's saying you can be gifted, spiritual, and even sacrificial—but if love isn't present, it all rings hollow. And this applies profoundly to marriage. You can provide, protect, plan, and pursue… but if you're not loving your spouse the way God defines love—patiently, kindly, selflessly—then you've missed the very foundation.In God's economy, love is the core. Everything minus love equals nothing. Real love in marriage is seen when a husband chooses to serve his wife even after a long day. It's when a wife chooses grace over criticism. It's listening when you'd rather speak. Forgiving when you want to keep score. That kind of love isn't natural—it's supernatural. It's the love Christ shows us every single day.If your marriage feels dry or disconnected, maybe it's time to stop measuring effort and start asking: Is this being done in love?Question of the Day:Are your actions in marriage driven by genuine, Christ-centered love—or are they just noise without substance?Let's Pray:Lord, help us strip away every action done for show and fill our marriages with true, selfless love.

Ever heard God speak, only to forget it days later? Life moves fast, and moments of divine clarity can slip through the cracks if we're not intentional. What if you created a space to capture and revisit those whispers—a personal legacy of listening?Our springboard for today's discussion is:"Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it." — Habakkuk 2:2 (ESV)God's voice deserves to be remembered. In Habakkuk's time, the Lord instructed the prophet to write the vision down—make it plain, clear, and accessible. Why? So that others could run with it. Today, that principle still stands. We need to write what God speaks to us—not just for ourselves but for those who will one day need our testimony.That's why I want to challenge you to build your own “Whispering Gallery”—a journal or space where you capture the voice of God in your life. Maybe it's a notebook where you record dreams, answered prayers, or scriptures that leap off the page. Perhaps it's a vision board with images and verses that reflect what God is calling you into. Or a prayer wall filled with names, burdens, and praise reports.You're not just recording moments—you're building a legacy. Every whisper matters. Every divine nudge is worth remembering. When you look back, you'll see not just what God said—but how faithful He's been every step of the way.Question of the Day:What's one way you can begin capturing God's whispers today—journal, vision board, or prayer wall?Let's Pray:Lord, help me become a good steward of Your voice.

Sometimes, we expect God to speak only in church or during our quiet time. But what if His whisper comes when we least expect it—in the middle of a traffic jam, a grocery line, or even during a personal crisis? God's voice doesn't follow our schedule. It breaks through the noise of everyday life and often catches us off guard, not to confuse us, but to remind us that He's always present—always speaking.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"God called to him out of the bush, ‘Moses, Moses!' And he said, ‘Here I am.'" —Exodus 3:4 (ESV)Moses wasn't praying or in the temple when God called his name. He was tending sheep, doing the same thing he'd likely done every day for forty years. Yet in that ordinary moment, God broke through with a burning bush and a call that would change history.God still does this today. Maybe not through flaming shrubbery, but through subtle, surprising nudges—a word from a stranger, a song on the radio, or even a sudden sense of peace during chaos. I once heard God speak loudest while in a friends home about my oldest son, Steven, when all I could do was listen.God loves to show up where we least expect Him. It's not about where we are—it's about whether we're listening. He's not confined to the sacred; He invades the ordinary. So be alert. That random encounter, that unexpected detour—it might just be God whispering your name.Question of the Day:When was the last time you heard God speak in an unexpected place?Let's Pray:Lord, help us to hear You—even when You speak in places we don't expect. Make our hearts sensitive to Your whisper, no matter where we are. In Jesus' name, Amen.Let's Get To Work!Support MyR2B Ministries:MyR2B Ministries is our full-time ministry.

Gratitude isn't just about saying “thank you” for the blessings we can see. It's also about recognizing the divine whispers that guided us when we didn't know what to do. Think about those moments—a Scripture that struck deep, a person's words that landed right when you needed them, or even a season of pain that eventually revealed God's quiet direction. Today, we take a pause to say, “Thank You, Lord, for speaking—even when I wasn't always listening.”Our springboard for today's discussion is:"Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." —1 Thessalonians 5:18 (ESV)God speaks in countless ways, and every time He does, it's an act of grace. Maybe His Word jumped off the page at the exact right moment. Maybe a friend unknowingly delivered a message from heaven. Or maybe, in a season of heartbreak, God didn't change the situation—but He changed you through it.Those whispers are sacred. They don't always come with clarity or comfort, but they come with purpose. And when we train our hearts to give thanks, even in uncertainty, we begin to treasure His voice more deeply.Today, try journaling a few of those moments—where God spoke, nudged, or comforted you. Let gratitude flood those memories. The more we give thanks for His voice, the more attuned we become to hearing it.Question of the Day:What's one moment—big or small—when you knew God was speaking? Have you thanked Him for it?Let's Pray:Lord, thank You for every whisper, every word, every quiet moment of guidance. Open my heart to remember and give thanks, even when Your voice is soft.

Some of the hardest moments in our walk with God are not when He says “no,” but when He says nothing at all. Those quiet seasons can feel lonely, confusing—even painful. But what if His silence isn't rejection… but preparation?Our springboard for today's discussion is:"How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?" — Psalm 13:1 (ESV)David cried out with raw honesty, feeling forgotten by God. But if you read the rest of the psalm, you'll find that even in silence, David chose trust. He remembered God's steadfast love. That's the key—recognizing that God's silence isn't abandonment.Sometimes, God is quieter because He's working deeper. Think of seeds planted in the soil—silent, unseen, but growing. You don't hear roots forming, but they are. God may not be speaking audibly in your storm, but He's anchoring your soul.Looking back, I can see how God's hand was guiding me even when I felt most alone. The job I lost? It made room for something better. The unanswered prayer? It revealed something in me that needed healing first.God's silence is never empty. It's often full of movement. And when the whisper comes again, you'll realize He was never gone.Question of the Day:Have you ever looked back and realized that God was guiding you—even when He seemed silent?Let's Pray:Lord, in the silence, help me to trust that You are still near. Teach me to wait with faith, knowing You are always working for my good. In Jesus' name, Amen.Let's Get To Work!Support MyR2B Ministries:MyR2B Ministries is our full-time ministry.

Have you ever paused to remember the exact moment God showed up in your life? Not just in the big miracles—but in those quiet, undeniable whispers that changed everything?Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Then you shall tell them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord... So these stones shall be to the people of Israel a memorial forever.” — Joshua 4:7 (ESV)When the Israelites crossed the Jordan on dry ground, God didn't just want them to move forward—He wanted them to remember. He instructed them to take twelve stones from the riverbed and build a memorial. Not for decoration, but for testimony. A visual reminder to future generations that God was real, present, and powerful.In our spiritual journeys, we often race from one breakthrough to the next. But how often do we stop to mark the moment? When God speaks, when He moves, when He delivers—those aren't random. Those are landmarks.Maybe it was the day you gave your life to Christ. Maybe it was when you heard God's voice so clearly, it left you undone. These moments matter. They are anchors in our journey, proving His faithfulness when storms hit.So here's the challenge: Start your own spiritual timeline. Write down the moments when God whispered, when He rescued, when He redirected your steps. Build your own memorial stones—not in rock, but in journal pages, memories, and testimonies.Question of the Day:What moment in your walk with God do you need to memorialize today?Let's Pray:Lord, help us not to forget Your faithfulness. Show us how to mark the moments where You've spoken and moved, that our faith might grow stronger with every remembrance.

There's a sacred space within every believer—a quiet gallery in the heart where moments of divine encounter are etched into the walls of memory. Like the famous whispering galleries of old, where a soft voice can be heard across vast distances, these spiritual echoes still resonate when the noise of life dies down.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"Only take care, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life." — Deuteronomy 4:9 (ESV)God's voice doesn't fade—it gets buried under distraction. That's why the Word urges us to take care, to keep our soul diligently. Every time God speaks—whether in a whisper during prayer, through a Scripture that leaps off the page, or a moment of peace in chaos—it's worth remembering.We often seek fresh words, new direction, but what if our next step lies in remembering the last thing God said? Those defining moments—when the Spirit pierced your heart, when tears fell as truth took root—those are your spiritual landmarks. Forgetting them isn't just forgetfulness—it's a loss of spiritual identity.Just like Israel was told to recount what their eyes had seen, we too must revisit our whispering gallery. Walk through it. Remember when He called you. Remember when He comforted you. Remember when He warned you, and you listened. That memory is your anchor.Question of the Day:When was the last time you revisited a moment where God clearly spoke to you?Let's Pray:Lord, help me to never forget the times You've spoken into my life. Bring those moments back to mind and let them anchor me in every season. In Jesus' name, Amen.Let's Get To Work!Support MyR2B Ministries:MyR2B Ministries is our full-time ministry.

Today, we're talking about something every believer has encountered—those quiet, almost imperceptible nudges that stir our hearts. Was that just a thought, or was it the Holy Spirit prompting us? How do we know the difference? Let's dive in.Our springboard for today's discussion is: John 16:13 – "When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth."The Holy Spirit doesn't always speak in dramatic revelations. More often, He whispers. It's that persistent thought that won't go away, the sudden urge to call a friend, or the peace that floods your heart when you make a tough decision. These promptings are how God directs us. But here's the challenge—how do we distinguish between God's voice and our own thoughts?God's promptings align with Scripture, bring peace rather than confusion, and often stretch us beyond our comfort zones in ways that strengthen our faith. They may challenge our logic but never contradict God's Word. The Holy Spirit's voice is firm yet gentle, leading us deeper into truth. The enemy, on the other hand, accuses and brings doubt, while our own thoughts often lean toward self-preservation.When you sense the Spirit nudging you, don't ignore it. Maybe He's leading you to pray for someone, take a step of obedience, or speak words of encouragement. Acting in faith strengthens our ability to hear Him more clearly. The more we respond, the more we recognize His voice.Question of the Day: Have you ever experienced a prompting from the Holy Spirit? How did you respond?Let's Pray: Lord, help us to recognize Your voice through the Holy Spirit's gentle promptings. Give us the courage to respond in faith, knowing You guide us into all truth.

Today, we're talking about something powerful—how God speaks to us through the people He places in our lives. We often think of hearing from God as a personal, private experience, but Scripture makes it clear: God also uses friends, mentors, pastors, and even unexpected strangers to sharpen us, guide us, and reveal His wisdom.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Proverbs 27:17 – “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.”When God wants to get our attention, He often does it through people. Think about Moses—he had Aaron to help him. Paul had Barnabas and Timothy. Even King David had Nathan the prophet, who wasn't afraid to call him out when he went astray. God places people in our lives not just for companionship but for accountability, encouragement, and direction.Maybe you've had a moment when a friend's words struck you deeply—something they said confirmed exactly what you had been praying about. Or a sermon seemed tailor-made for your situation. These aren't coincidences; they are divine appointments. But there's a key here: we need to be open. If we're too proud or isolated, we can miss the very people God is using to shape us.Take a look at your circle. Who are the voices speaking into your life? Are they leading you closer to God or away from Him? Seek out those who challenge you, who hold you accountable, and who speak wisdom into your walk with Christ.Question of the Day: Who in your life has God used to guide, encourage, or correct you? How did their words impact your journey?Let's Pray: Lord, open our hearts to hear Your voice through the people You've placed in our lives. Give us discernment to recognize wise counsel and humility to receive correction. Surround us with godly influences who sharpen us and draw us closer to You.

Today, we're diving into a fascinating topic—one that has guided prophets, kings, and ordinary people throughout history. Does God still speak through dreams? And if so, how do we recognize when a dream is from Him?Our springboard for today's discussion is: Acts 2:17 – “And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.”From Joseph in Egypt to Daniel in Babylon, the Bible is filled with moments where God speaks through dreams. Even in the New Testament, Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, received divine instruction in a dream to take Mary and the child to Egypt. But God's voice in dreams didn't stop in biblical times. Countless testimonies today confirm that He still speaks through this mysterious nighttime channel.How do we discern a dream that comes from God versus one that is merely the mind sorting out daily events? A divine dream carries a sense of clarity and urgency. It often aligns with Scripture and is accompanied by a deep impression on the soul—something that lingers far beyond waking. It may bring revelation, warning, or direction. Unlike random, disjointed dreams, God's messages are distinct, full of purpose, and confirmed by the Spirit.So how should we respond? First, take note of significant dreams—write them down. Second, pray for discernment. If God is speaking, He will confirm His message through Scripture, wise counsel, or further revelation. Lastly, be willing to act. Dreams are not just glimpses into the subconscious but can be divine roadmaps for what's ahead.Question of the Day: Have you ever had a dream you felt was from God? How did it impact your life?Let's Pray: Lord, open our hearts and minds to hear You, even in the quiet of the night. Help us discern Your voice and give us wisdom to respond.
