Let's uncover and discover one of the most powerful tools God has given you for growth: repentance. The typical Christian understands repentance as something that happens at salvation, but its role in sanctification—your ongoing transformation—is often overlooked.

I want to re-evaluate a prior devotion and rethink the cultural message of self-esteem. While the world tells you to focus on yourself to find freedom, the Bible teaches a counterintuitive truth: the path to freedom is found in thinking less about yourself and more about God and others.

Let's talk about love—not the kind that looks like an empty love cup but the kind that reflects God's character by giving and serving in a way that glorifies Him. Love is a communicable attribute, a gift that God has communicated (given) to us. Thus, we can love well, but due to our fallenness, loving well can turn inward, self-focused, and distorted.

Learning to overcome our all-time and number one problem and the cultural myth of self-reliance is vital for a robust Christian life.

Overcoming the fear of others disapproval is a universal struggle for those who base their identity on what others think of them. When we act like this, we give others power over us. We're nothing more than puppets on a string, always managed by the fickle approval of others. The Bible calls this the fear of man, but you might recognize it better as peer pressure, codependency, or insecurity.

Many people struggle with decision-making. The most crucial question you can ask yourself when making a decision is this: Am I in faith to do this? In other words, do you believe that what you're considering is the right thing to do? Are you sure? Is this God's will? Is your faith greater than your doubts?

Today's focus is on a challenging but vital responsibility: discipling your parents. As a believer, you are called to disciple and evangelize those in your sphere of influence—and that includes your family. Being an adult means acting like an adult, which expects you to come alongside other adults, helping them in their relationship with God. To love God and love others as you love yourself implies caring well for all people, even those who have had authority over you.

One of the most influential aspects of your life is your friendships. The relationships you keep play a significant role in shaping who you are and how you grow in your relationship with God. Though you can do many things alone, sanctification is not one of those things.

Your conscience that God gave you acts as an internal moral thermostat. It's your inner voice that sounds off when you have done well or poorly. Your conscience can be a powerful tool for aligning your life with God's Word, but it can also become distorted if not biblically trained. The conscience is malleable. Let's talk about how to care for and train your conscience so it reflects God's truth—the ultimate sweet spot is when your inner voice and God's Word are in tune.

Today's topic touches on a question many struggle with: “Will God forgive me?” Thinking that the good Lord will not forgive us typically comes from an inward-focused, insecure person who needs a gospel recalibration: Who the Son has set free is free indeed (John 8:36). The gospel liberates us from all of our past sins, no matter how hideous or overwhelming they seem. Jesus has already completed the work of forgiveness—you don't have to live under the weight of guilt any longer.

One of the most essential places for your spiritual growth is the local church. Outside of your home, the local church is the dearest place on earth for a believer because it's where God's people gather to worship, grow, and serve together. The church is not a building but a body of believers, whether it's two gathered for fellowship or two thousand in an auditorium.

Do you ever sense your life as a young adult is in a holding pattern—a time when you're just waiting for life to begin? If so, you're not alone. Some people act as though these early years are like an extended time out. It is a mindset that can lead to wasting valuable time. While you're waiting to get your shot, here are eight things you can do to steward your time well and glorify God today. The key to remember is what you do today forms the foundation upon which your entire adult life will stand.

Today's truth may not be easy to hear, but it's crucial to understand: life is hard and doesn't apologize. Fallenness is no respecter of persons, not even caring if you are a Christian.

Let's tackle a common cultural myth: the idea that being “cool” is the way to succeed. The truth is that chasing coolness is rarely fruitful. Instead, it often leads to dysfunctional relationships and a self-focused, enslaving way of life that demands that others notice, admire, and desire to be you. Perhaps it would serve all of us if we redefine what it means to be “cool” from a biblical perspective.

In this heart-pounding and heart-opening episode, Wendy Valentine chats with elite mountaineer and adventure racer Dianette Wells, one of fewer than 500 people to climb the Seven Summits, including Mount Everest. But Dianette's most difficult climb wasn't on a mountain — it was through the devastating grief of losing her son, Johnny, a fellow adventurer. Together, they explore how to transform loss into purpose, why midlife is the perfect time to reinvent yourself, and how to take that first bold step toward your own personal Everest.   From competing in over 100 extreme races to discovering healing through movement, Dianette's story is packed with awe-inspiring adventures, laugh-out-loud moments, and life lessons on strength, surrender, and saying YES to life — even when it scares you. Whether you're climbing mountains or facing emotional valleys, this episode will remind you that courage isn't the absence of fear — it's doing it anyway.  

Let's explore a topic that affects us all: the shaping influences in our lives—those things external to us that impact how we love God and others as we love ourselves. Specifically, how social media and other technologies shape the way we think, feel, and live.

Today's topic may sound harsh, but it's an essential truth to embrace: life has winners and losers. I know that you know this, but I want to make it personal to you during this season of practical reflection. Participation trophies and grade inflation may soften the blow during childhood, but adulthood operates by a different set of rules. The self-esteem movement works hard to keep kids' egos inflated, but life in a fallen world works harder, deflating our egos, making it imperative we know how to live well when fallenness falls on us.

Your parents weren't always boring. Believe it or not, they had lives, interests, and a lot more freedom before you came along. Here's the truth: your parents' lives changed dramatically the moment you entered the picture. It's not that you're a problem; I'm not saying that at all, but raising a child comes with enormous responsibility. Paying bills, doing laundry, and keeping up with your needs leave little time for the fun or spontaneity they had prior to having children. Their sacrifices are often invisible, but they are made out of love for you and the belief that their life is worth more than their former freedoms. Parenting is a picture of the gospel: giving up your freedom for the good of others.

Today's lesson is tough but essential: when you mess up, it's no one's fault but your own. It's natural to want to blame others for our mistakes. Perhaps others are part of our mistakes or have influenced them. However, we cannot ignore our responsibility. We must not permit people's problems to manage us. Adults struggle with owning their mistakes, so you're not alone. But if your first instinct is to point fingers when things go wrong, it's time to pause, recalibrate that mindset, and take responsibility. Owning your mistakes is a key step toward maturity and spiritual growth.

I want to share with you something many people overlook: the beauty of a mundane life. Your grandparents might have called it real life—the everyday, ordinary moments of living in an imperfect world. While the culture chases the next big thing, the spiritual person recognizes that even the most mundane moments are opportunities to glorify God. Hidden in the ordinary are the blessings that only a spiritual mind can see.

One of life's great lessons is learning to respond well when you don't get what you want—a challenge for 100 out of every 100 people. Coincidentally, if you think that not getting what you want is just something kids deal with, think again. Life is full of unmet expectations, and how you respond to those expectations now will shape your ability to handle the challenges ahead. The good news? Learning to respond humbly to disappointment is a key to living well in God's world.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 8, 2025 is: cataract • KAT-uh-rakt • noun Cataract refers to a clouding of the lens of the eye, or of its surrounding transparent membrane, that obstructs the passage of light. Cataract is also used, often in literature, to refer to a waterfall, steep rapids in a river, or to a downpour or flood. // Cataracts are common but can be corrected with surgery. // The roaring cataract is one of the park's most majestic sights. See the entry > Examples: “I became a grandmother at the beginning of the decade and again at the end. I decided what kind of grandmother I wanted to be. I came to accept my identity as a writer. I retired from teaching after twenty years. I continue to work as a social work consultant. I had cataract surgery and can see better than I have in years.” — Lyn Slater, How to Be Old: Lessons in Living Boldly from the Accidental Icon, 2024 Did you know? The ocular meaning of cataract that English users are most familiar with is also the oldest. It dates to the 14th century and comes from the Latin word cataracta, meaning “portcullis,” probably because a cataract in one's eye obstructs vision much like a portcullis's heavy iron grating obstructs passage into a fortress or castle. Cataracta has another meaning, however—“waterfall”—and that meaning gave English the water-related meanings that came in later centuries. The connection between the two Latin meanings can be seen in katarassein, the Greek source of cataracta. It means “to dash down,” describing the action of both the slamming portcullis and the cascading waterfall.
