What does it really mean to make a profit — and why do so many mission-driven companies eventually betray the very things that made them great? In this episode, Eric Ries, creator of The Lean Startup and founder of the Long-Term Stock Exchange, joins Amie Vaccaro and Jonathan Jackson to discuss his new book Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad and How Great Companies Stay Great. Eric dismantles the conventional definition of profit and offers a radical replacement — profit as the maximization of human flourishing — then explains "financial gravity," the unconscious pull that bends organizations toward the values of whoever holds the money, whether investors or donors. Through the origin stories of Costco and Novo Nordisk, he shows how "mission lock" structures protected both companies — in Novo Nordisk's case, preserving the research that became Ozempic and creating over $500 billion in shareholder value. The conversation closes with practical power for everyone else: a "no-courage activism" question any job candidate can ask, and why every transaction you make transmits your values. As Eric puts it: "You're not stuck in traffic — you are traffic."Related Resources:https://theleanstartup.com/ ⁠– Eric's foundational methodology and NYT bestseller on entrepreneurship and continuous innovation.Long-Term Stock Exchange (LTSE) – The stock exchange Eric founded to support companies built for long-term value creation.Answer.AI – The AI R&D lab founded by Eric Ries and Jeremy Howard.B Lab / B Corp Certification – The certification body behind B Corps; Dimagi was the first B Corp/PBC in Massachusetts, referenced in the conversation.Novo Nordisk Foundation – The mission-guardian foundation whose governance structure blocked the merger that would have killed GLP-1 research.Sign up to our newsletter⁠, and stay informed of Dimagi's workWe are on social media - follow us for the latest from Dimagi: ⁠LinkedIn⁠, ⁠Twitter⁠, ⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠, ⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠If you enjoy this show, please leave us a 5-Star Review and share your favorite episodes with friends. Hosts: ⁠Jonathan Jackson⁠ and ⁠Amie Vaccaro

Welcome to In the Word with Malcolm Webber. In this series of messages on eternal security, we've been working through some urgent questions: What is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Is it the same as apostasy? And how should we counsel someone who fears they have gone too far from God to be restored? Find out in this final part of Malcolm's message on Philippians 2:12-13, “The God Who Keeps You.”Related Resources from LeaderSource* Book: True Giving: A Brief Exposition of Philippians* Book: God Is Sovereign: Transformational Theology 3* A Learning Design for Being Secure in Christ's Love * For More Teaching on Common Errors: Malcolm's MusingsNew to the series?

Welcome to In the Word with Malcolm Webber. The Bible teaches eternal security without compromise — no one can snatch you from the Father's hand. But the Bible also plainly teaches that a genuine believer can harden their heart over time, resist the Holy Spirit, and ultimately walk away from God altogether. This is the process of apostasy, which we will look at more closely today, in the third part of Malcolm's message on Philippians 2:12-13, “How Apostasy Happens, and How to Avoid It.”Related Resources from LeaderSource* Book: True Giving: A Brief Exposition of Philippians* Book: God Is Sovereign: Transformational Theology 3* A Learning Design for Being Secure in Christ's Love * For More Teaching on Common Errors: Malcolm's MusingsNew to the series?

What does it actually take for a country, government, or community to truly own a technology or an outcome? In this fast-paced and candid episode of High-Impact Growth, Dimagi CEO Jonathan Jackson and co-host Amie Vaccaro welcome back Nithya Ramanathan, CEO and co-founder of Nexleaf Analytics. Moving past polite sector rhetoric, Nithya and Jonathan break down why so many well-intentioned global health initiatives end up in "equipment graveyards" due to a broken "donor-to-hope" value chain. Grounded in her recent Stanford Social Innovation Review piece on country ownership, Nithya unpacks the three critical ingredients of true ownership—financial transaction, genuine control, and intrinsic pride—and advocates for a drastic shift: flipping the historical 80/20 investment split to focus heavily on human operational systems rather than chasing technical perfection. Featuring real-world insights from a recent cross-country ministry workshop on vaccine cold chains, this episode offers an honest look at the iterative dance between technology and policy. The conversation doesn't offer tidy answers, but it pushes the critical questions.Related Resources:https://ssir.org/articles/entry/scaling-global-health-innovations  Nithya Ramanathan, Nelima Otipa, and Hosea Kintu lay out a framework for moving from government partnership to country ownership in global health innovation.

In Episode 277 of Defend, Publish, and Lead, host Christine Tulley sits down with Dr. Pat Goodson, health education professor turned prolific academic writing coach, to explore practical strategies for building a sustainable writing life. Dr. Goodson shares how her journey into academic writing began not from an English background, but from listening to struggling graduate students and eventually developing a university writing support program called POWER (Promoting Outstanding Writing for Excellence in Research). The conversation covers her latest book, Keep Writing: 101 Strategies for Academic Writers, along with favorites like 90 Days, 90 Ways and Becoming an Academic Writer, all designed to help faculty and grad students move past writing blocks, ditch ineffective habits, and develop intentional, personalized systems. Christine also highlights her campus "write and run" sessions — 22-minute focused writing sprints — as a real-world example of fitting writing into a busy schedule. Both guests close with encouragement for listeners to use the approaching summer as a chance to revisit and strengthen their writing routines, and they give a preview of Dr. Goodson's upcoming Learning Lab, "It Takes a System," at the Textbook and Academic Authors Association Institute.

My high school science teacher almost helped me make TNT in the chemistry lab! That's how this episode starts. But it's not really about chemistry. It's about physics. Specifically, it's about momentum... and why the same force that keeps a relationship strong is also the force that quietly destroys it without anyone noticing until it's almost too late. Here's the thing most couples never consider: love isn't what holds a marriage together over time. It's what starts the process. What actually carries a relationship forward — or pulls it apart — is momentum And momentum follows rules. When couples come to me in crisis, one of the most common things I hear is some version of: "I didn't see it coming." Or: "I thought we were just going through a phase." Or: "I thought once things settled down, we'd get back to each other." They're not wrong that something changed. They're just wrong about when it started. The damage was already done — quietly, gradually, in a direction they couldn't feel — long before the crisis arrived. This episode is about why that happens. And why the natural response most people have when they finally do notice? It often makes it worse. A few things worth thinking about before you listen: If you can feel that your relationship has lost something, but you can't point to when or why — is it possible the answer is further back than you think? What happens to momentum when you stop adding energy to something? And what happens after it stops? Why would reaching hard toward your spouse in a moment of crisis push them further away instead of closer? The physics are more predictable than you'd expect. And understanding them might be the first thing that actually makes sense of where you are. Listen to "Momentum" now, below. If you're past the point of just feeling the drift and you're now in real crisis, the Save The Marriage System is built for exactly this moment. It's the roadmap back, from where momentum has taken you, to where you actually want to go. RELATED RESOURCES: 7 Stages of Disconnection Resources for Healing Disconnection Save The Marriage System

Einstein said we can't solve our problems with the same thinking that created them. And if you've been working on your marriage—trying hard, putting in effort, doing everything you can think of—but nothing's actually changing? You might be spinning the wheel. Pursuing harder. Forcing conversations. Making grand gestures. Reading every article, watching every video, trying every technique the algorithm throws at you. That's effort. Real effort. But it's pointed in the wrong direction. In the last episode, I talked about why "if it's meant to be" is dangerous thinking. This episode is about what you do instead. Not just recognizing the myth is wrong, but understanding what intelligent effort actually looks like when you're trying to save a marriage. Because here's what most people miss. The marriage that's in crisis right now? It didn't fail because you picked the wrong person or because your love wasn't strong enough. It failed in design. The culture gave you a destination—happily ever after—and almost nothing about how to actually get there and stay there. So when things fall apart, it's not a destination failure. It's a navigation failure. And that changes everything. In this episode, I walk through what it actually means to rebuild a marriage. Why it feels so much harder than it did at the beginning.

Welcome back to In the Word with Malcolm Webber!Even though Jesus was and is God, He willingly emptied Himself of the “form” of God and the rights of His preexistent glory, and came in the form of a servant, obeying His Father even to the point of the terrible death of the cross.

Host Nichel Anderson returns with journey update on her groundbreaking episode dedicated to her MOLIAE PMTR (Pyramid Mystery Temple Reunion) NFTS Collection, a cornerstone of the MOLIAE Manifesto and the upcoming relaunch on February 23 at Mint.MOLIAEWorld.com. This episode serves as a complete guide to understanding the PMTR universe — its history, symbolism, and purpose as a creative funding initiative for Nichel's cinematic vision to bring “Mitsrayim: A Memoir of a Past Life In Ancient Egypt” to film. Nichel explores the prophetic connection between Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois's essay “Of the Wings of Atlanta” and her PMTR NFTs, drawing parallels between his Talented Tenth philosophy and the modern DTC (Direct‑to‑Consumer) movement. She reveals the mystery of the HUJTA swords, the nine encoded symbols on each NFT, and the hidden golden nugget within the 10K collection that represents both spiritual and tangible value for holders. Listeners gain insight into the numerology and astrology that shape the PMTR design, the forthcoming 3D “Legends of Lions” collection, and the MOLIAE Token that will expand the ecosystem's equity and utility. Nichel also walks through the minting process — how to connect your blockchain wallet (MetaMask recommended), mint your NFT, download the Decode Book PDF, and join the MOLIAE Discord or MOLIAE.com/forum for decoding assistance and community engagement. The episode concludes with exciting announcements about new music, the PMTR short stories, and the MOLIAE World game initiative, all reinforcing the living nature of the PMTR NFTs. Each NFT is more than art — it's a coded story, a digital relic, and a key to the unfolding MOLIAE World. Visit Mint.MOLIAEWorld.com to mint your PMTR NFT and become part of the legacy that bridges prophecy, creativity, and the future of storytelling.   --- (a) How to Mint Your PMTR NFT Go tometamask.io, then return to the mint page.

As traditional funding sources shift, many nonprofits are asking a hard question: can individual giving become a meaningful and sustainable revenue stream? In this episode of High-Impact Growth, Amie Vaccaro and Jonathan Jackson sit down with Javan Van Gronigen, founder of Donate.ly, to unpack what it truly takes to make that transition work.Drawing from more than a decade in digital fundraising, Javan shares why storytelling—not technology—is the most critical asset nonprofits have, and why so many organizations struggle by committing “random acts of marketing.” The conversation explores how to move from one-to-one fundraising toward scalable, one-to-many models without burning limited budgets, and how testing small bets is essential before going all-in.The group also digs into the evolving role of AI in fundraising—from speeding up content creation and data analysis to raising new ethical questions about authenticity and trust. Whether you're testing individual giving for the first time or rethinking your entire fundraising strategy, this episode offers a grounded, honest roadmap for navigating a more crowded and uncertain funding landscape.Related Resources:https://www.fiftyandfifty.org/services/engagement-os https://www.donately.com/https://www.charitywater.org/https://invisiblechildren.com/ Sign up to our newsletter⁠, and stay informed of Dimagi's workWe are on social media - follow us for the latest from Dimagi: ⁠LinkedIn⁠, ⁠Twitter⁠, ⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠, ⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠If you enjoy this show, please leave us a 5-Star Review and share your favorite episodes with friends. Hosts: ⁠Jonathan Jackson⁠ and ⁠Amie Vaccaro

Your child lies. You catch them. They double down. Now what? When an 8-year-old swears they didn’t sneak the TV or the treats (even with chocolate on their face), most parents panic about what it means for the future. In this episode of The Happy Families Podcast, Justin and Kylie explain why lying is normal, why punishment makes it worse, and how to respond in a way that builds honesty instead of fear. If you want truth without tears, this conversation changes everything. KEY POINTS Lying is a developmental milestone, not a moral collapse. The harsher the punishment, the better kids get at hiding. Shame damages relationships and kills honesty. Most lies are about avoiding trouble or getting access to something they want. The goal isn’t catching kids out — it’s solving the problem together. You’ll have this conversation again and again. That’s normal parenting. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Lying is not a moral crisis. It’s a teachable moment.” RELATED RESOURCES #846 An Honest Conversation [podcast episode] ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Stay calm. Avoid lectures and threats.

Healthcare marketers write off Meta for one reason: lead quality. High volume or cheap leads don't matter when leads are unqualified, uninsured, or never convert to patients. Cardinal's paid social team cracked the code. Through systematic testing of Meta lead forms—adding SMS verification, progressive insurance qualification, and strategic engagement tactics—they transformed Meta from a brand channel into a legitimate performance driver. The result? A 78% reduction in cost per qualified lead compared to Google Ads, with quality that actually converts. In this episode, Lisa Fisher and Caro Costa walk through the exact testing framework and optimization strategies that made it work. You'll leave with a replicable playbook for your own Meta campaigns.

Many Americans do not fully know the faith-filled story behind the nation’s origins. In today's prayer and devotional, Lynette Kittle shares how long before the United States existed, a small group of Christian separatists—the Pilgrims—risked everything to worship Jesus freely and to practice their faith without fear. Their journey, grounded in prayer, Scripture, and dependence on God, laid a foundation that ultimately influenced the birth of a nation built on biblical principles. Seeking to follow Christ according to their convictions, the Pilgrims left England due to persecution and later departed Holland when secular influences threatened their children’s faith. Their bold voyage across the Atlantic in 1620 was not a pursuit of comfort but a pursuit of the freedom to worship God in truth and sincerity. America’s early identity was shaped through this legacy of faith, humility, and thanksgiving. Even before our nation was formed, colonial leaders called for days of prayer, fasting, and gratitude to God. Later, Presidents Washington, Adams, and Madison continued this practice, acknowledging that national blessings flow from the hand of Almighty God. Eventually, Thanksgiving became a national holiday through the persistence of Sarah Josepha Hale, who believed a national day of gratitude was a “pledge of Christian faith in God.” Today, the same call remains: remember what God has done, give Him thanks, and pray for America to remain anchored in His truth. Today's Bible Reading:“Give praise to the Lord, proclaim His name; make known among the nations what He has done.” – Psalm 105:1 Takeaway Truths America’s earliest foundations were shaped by believers seeking freedom to worship God. Thanksgiving has deep Christian roots tied to prayer, humility, and national gratitude. God calls His people to remember His works and proclaim His faithfulness to the nations. We can pray for America to return to biblical truth and godly leadership. Let’s Pray Dear Father,We lift our voices to praise and thank You for America. We acknowledge that it was Your hand that guided the Pilgrims to a new land where they could worship Christ freely. Thank You for establishing this nation on godly principles and granting us the blessing of religious liberty. Remind us this Thanksgiving of the believers who trusted You enough to leave everything behind for the sake of Your glory. Strengthen and restore America’s spiritual foundation. Lead our nation’s leaders to return to Your Word, Your truth, and Your righteousness. Above all, thank You for the gift of Salvation through Jesus Christ—undeserved, unearned, and freely given. May our hearts remain humble and full of gratitude for all You have done. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

We all face moments when discouragement creeps in — when our hearts feel heavy and hope seems distant. Whether it’s physical pain, emotional weariness, or the quiet ache of unmet expectations, we all need encouragement. In this heartfelt reflection, Keri Eichberger shares how, in the middle of her own discouragement, God sent comfort in an unexpected way — through a conversation with a friend who needed encouragement herself. Proverbs 12:25 reminds us that “Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.” A single word of kindness has the power to lift not just another person’s spirit, but our own. God designed encouragement to work both ways — when we bless others, we, too, are blessed. When we cheer someone else up, we often find our own hearts restored in the process. If you’re in need of encouragement today, start by turning to the ultimate Encourager — the Lord, who sees you, loves you, and hears your cries. Then, look for opportunities to lift someone else. A kind word, a thoughtful text, or a prayer for another can become the very means through which God refreshes your spirit. Encouragement flows both ways: we receive it when we give it. That’s the beautiful cycle of God’s grace at work through His people. Today's Bible Reading:“Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.” – Proverbs 12:25

We want to hear from you! Submit your Thanksgiving Prayer or a short note of thanks! Your submissions could be featured on Your Daily Prayer as we lead up to Thanksgiving Day. Thank you again for your continued support—we can’t wait to hear from you! https://tinyurl.com/322k4xau There are times in our walk with God when His presence feels near — when prayer flows easily, Scripture feels alive, and worship fills our hearts with joy. But, as our daily prayer and devotional remind us, then come the harder seasons — the dry, weary days when God seems silent, and our hearts ache with loneliness. In today’s reflection, Sophia Bricker reminds us that even when God feels far away, His presence has never left us. Scripture gives voice to this struggle through the psalmists, Job, Jeremiah, and even Jesus Himself, who cried out, “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” (Psalm 22:1; Matthew 27:46). These moments of spiritual dryness are not signs of abandonment — they are invitations to deeper faith. When we face sorrow, sin, or suffering, we may feel distant from God, but faith reminds us that He remains close — “a friend who sticks closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24). The Lord has promised to be with us always, even to the end of the age. His love does not depend on our emotions; it is steadfast, eternal, and unchanging. When God feels far, hold fast to what is true: He is near, and He will never leave you. Bible Reading:“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” – Matthew 28:20, NIV Takeaway Truths: Feeling distant from God doesn’t mean He has left us — His presence is constant. Spiritual dryness is often an invitation to grow deeper in faith. God’s promises are greater than our emotions; His love never changes.

Fear is one of the most powerful emotions we face—especially when it comes to death and loss. In this honest daily prayer and devotional, Vivian Bricker shares her journey of learning to trust God after losing her mother and struggling with the deep, ongoing fear of death. Her words remind us that while death is an unavoidable part of life, we don’t face it alone. Through the promise of Isaiah 41:10, God calls us to release our fear and hold fast to His strength. He promises His presence, His help, and His upholding hand. When grief grips our hearts or anxiety clouds our thoughts, we can find comfort knowing that Jesus is with us—in life, in death, and forevermore. This episode encourages us to surrender our fears to the One who conquered death and to rest in the hope of eternal reunion with those we love. Today's Bible Reading:“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” – Isaiah 41:10

A listener had a question... and it isn't the first time I've heard it.  How DO you save your marriage when you feel hate for your spouse?  That does seem impossible to get beyond, doesn't it? I have some news for you:  many people (if not MOST) who are working on saving their marriage are NOT having warm and fuzzy feelings for their spouse. In fact, they are likely to be just as hurt, just as frustrated, and just as unsure as their spouse. But there is a difference:  They think that working on their marriage... even when feeling upset and hurt, is important.  Important enough to choose to act in spite of those feelings. You may be thinking, "Wait, I can't act differently than I am feeling!" But with just a little reflection, most people realize they do it every single day.  "Not feeling it," but still going to work.  Upset about your finances, but still paying the bills.  Angry about something, but not taking it out on someone. See what I mean? We all do that all the time.  Why?  Because something is important enough to not just react to our emotions. I discuss it in this week's Save The Marriage Podcast.  Listen below.   RELATED RESOURCES: 7 Stages of Disconnection Connection Matters Better or Bitter?

For many, autumn is a season of beauty—colorful leaves, crisp air, and cozy traditions. But as our daily prayer and devotional remind us, for others, the season can reopen deep wounds of grief. Losing a loved one during this time can make every falling leaf feel like a reminder of what has been lost. Grief is not something to hide or feel ashamed of—it is the natural expression of love for someone who is no longer here. Jesus’ words in the Beatitudes assure us that those who mourn are not abandoned in their pain. Instead, God promises His presence and comfort in the midst of sorrow. The Lord draws near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 147:3) and faithfully carries us when grief feels unbearable. Over time, He not only comforts us but also equips us to comfort others in their mourning (2 Corinthians 1:3-5). In this way, even our deepest pain can become a vessel of compassion and encouragement. If autumn carries grief for you, know that you are not alone. God’s light still shines through the darkness, and His presence offers hope and healing—even in the hardest seasons. Today's Bible Verse: "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” – Matthew 5:4 (NIV) Key Takeaways Grief is a natural and holy expression of love—it is nothing to be ashamed of. God promises to comfort those who mourn (Matthew 5:4). The Lord draws close to the brokenhearted and heals our wounds (Psalm 147:3). Our own grief can equip us to extend comfort and empathy to others in pain. Let’s Pray Together Dear Jesus, autumn feels full of grief this year. Please help me to accept my sorrow as a reflection of love and not push it away. Surround me with Your comfort, fill my heart with Your hope, and help me to see glimpses of beauty even in my pain. Use my story to encourage others walking through grief, and remind me that You are always near. Amen.

Decision-making can feel overwhelming. In our daily prayer and devotional, we remember that we often turn to friends, family, or even the internet for guidance—only to end up with conflicting opinions that leave us even more uncertain. While seeking advice can be valuable, Scripture reminds us that we already have access to the best Counselor of all—the Holy Spirit. When Jesus promised the gift of the Spirit, He assured us that believers would never walk alone. The Spirit of truth lives within us, guiding, comforting, and directing our steps. This doesn’t mean every decision will suddenly feel easy, but it does mean we can trust that God will faithfully lead us in the way we should go. As children of God, we don’t have to rely solely on human wisdom. We can lean on the Spirit’s promptings, rest in His peace, and trust that He will never steer us wrong. When we feel paralyzed by uncertainty, let us pause, pray, and remember that the Spirit of God lives in us—ready to counsel us at every crossroads. Today's Bible Reading: "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you." – John 14:16-17 (NIV) Key Takeaways God has given us the Holy Spirit as our eternal counselor and guide. Seeking human advice can be helpful, but Spirit-led wisdom is always best. Peace in decision-making comes when we surrender to God’s truth and leading. We can face uncertainty with confidence, knowing God’s Spirit is always with us. Let’s Pray Together Lord God, You are my Wonderful Counselor. Thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit who guides me in truth and helps me make wise decisions. When I feel uncertain or overwhelmed, remind me to seek Your Spirit first. Lead me in Your will, and give me peace as I trust You to direct my steps. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Work doesn’t always look or feel the way we imagined. Sometimes, the job we prayed for ends up feeling draining, and we struggle to find joy in our daily tasks. Yet, as our daily prayer and devotional on Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, our work is not about our comfort—it’s about trusting God with the assignment He’s given us. When we shift our focus from ourselves to God’s purpose, even the most ordinary or frustrating responsibilities can become opportunities to glorify Him. Our workplace becomes a mission field, where conversations, attitudes, and actions can shine Christ’s light into the lives of coworkers and clients. The key is to acknowledge God in all our ways—to invite Him into our tasks, our meetings, and even our frustrations. As we lean on Him instead of our own understanding, He gives us peace, perspective, and joy to serve faithfully each day. Today's Bible Reading: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." – Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV) Key Takeaways God places us in our workplaces for a greater purpose. Our jobs become a mission field when we focus on serving Him first. Choosing joy and gratitude can transform frustration into fruitful ministry. Trusting God with our workday aligns us with His greater plan. Let’s Pray Together Lord, thank You for my job and the opportunities it provides. Help me see my workplace as a mission field and my tasks as ways to glorify You. Guard me from complaining or discouragement, and instead fill me with Your peace, focus, and joy. Use me today to shine Your light to those around me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

It’s natural to feel proud when we accomplish something—whether at work, school, or in our relationships. But Paul’s reminder to the church in Corinth, and in today's devotional and prayer, shifts our perspective: our successes are not our own, but the work of God through us. The Corinthians struggled with division and pride, boasting about their leaders and achievements. Paul called them back to the heart of the gospel—Christ alone. Our gifts, victories, and opportunities are not for our own glory but for God’s. When we boast in the Lord, we redirect praise where it belongs. This doesn’t mean ignoring our blessings, but rather using them as opportunities to magnify the grace, mercy, and love of God. True joy comes when we celebrate His work in us and through us. Your Daily Bible Reading: "Therefore, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.'” – 1 Corinthians 1:31 (NIV) Key Takeaways Everything good in us comes from God; our boasting should point to Him. Pride divides, but humility unites us as one body in Christ. Celebrating victories is good, but let’s shine the spotlight on God’s faithfulness. Boasting in the Lord helps us resist self-promotion and practice gratitude. Let’s Pray Together Heavenly Father, thank You for every blessing and gift You’ve given me. Forgive me when I let pride take the place of gratitude. Teach me to boast only in You, pointing others to Your goodness and mercy. May all I do bring glory and honor to Your name alone.

Have you ever faced a decision that left you feeling uncertain about which way to go? In today's prayer and devotional, Scripture reminds us that our steps are directed by the Lord, even when we can’t fully see or understand His plan. Christine Perry shares a personal story of feeling the Lord’s nudge to step away from her current path without knowing what would come next. What began as confusion and hesitation became a testimony of God’s perfect provision. Where Christine only saw uncertainty, God had already prepared opportunities for work, housing, and growth that she never could have orchestrated on her own. The truth is, our perspective is limited—we see only what’s right in front of us. God, however, sees the full picture. Trusting Him with our decisions means surrendering our desire for total control and stepping forward in faith, even when the path feels unclear. His direction may not always align with our original plans, but His way is always better. Today's Bible Reading "A man's steps are of the Lord; How then can a man understand his own way?" – Proverbs 20:24 (NKJV) Key Takeaways God often asks us to take the first step before revealing the next. Our plans may fall through, but God’s purposes never fail. Trusting His direction requires faith beyond what we can see. God’s provision and timing are always perfect, even when the process feels uncertain. Let’s Pray Together Lord, thank You for directing my steps, even when I don’t understand the way forward. Help me to trust Your wisdom and surrender my plans to You. Thank You for being my Shepherd, Provider, and Guide. Teach me to walk in faith, believing that Your direction is always good. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Sometimes the right choice is also the hardest one. In our daily prayer and devotional, we are reminded that as parents, spouses, friends, or leaders, God often calls us to take steps of faith that don’t align with the world’s expectations. Saying “no” to conformity and “yes” to God’s way can feel uncomfortable in the moment, but His Word reminds us that His will is always good, pleasing, and perfect. Conviction is often the Spirit’s way of guiding us into what is best. Romans 12:2 reminds us that transformation happens as we renew our minds in God’s truth. When we consistently lean into Scripture, pray for discernment, and trust His leading, He equips us with courage to walk forward—even when the path feels uncertain. Faith-filled steps may not always be easy, but they are always worth it. When we choose obedience, we not only honor God but also position ourselves and those we love to receive His best. Today's Bible Reading: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." – Romans 12:2 Key Takeaways Conviction is an invitation to step away from conformity and into God’s will. Renewing our minds with Scripture helps us discern His direction clearly. Faith often requires uncomfortable but courageous steps of obedience. God’s plans are always for our good, even when they feel hard in the moment. Let’s Pray Together Lord God, You are the way, and Your way is perfect. Help me not to conform to the world but to be renewed daily in Your Word. Give me courage to follow through when I feel convicted, trusting that Your plan is good, pleasing, and perfect. Thank You for guiding me and walking with me as I take steps of faith. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Depression and seasons of deep sadness can make life feel like it’s swallowed up in darkness. In our daily prayer and devotion, we remember that whether triggered by circumstances or unexplainable inner struggles, those moments can feel isolating and overwhelming. Yet Scripture reminds us that the light of Christ shines brighter than any darkness we face. Jesus is not only the Light of the World (John 8:12), but He also promises that the darkness cannot overcome Him. Even when our hearts feel heavy and hopeless, His presence brings warmth, direction, and peace. Turning to Him in prayer, leaning on His Word, and allowing His people to surround us with encouragement can help us see His light even in the darkest valleys. Depression may not vanish overnight, but the promise of John 1:5 assures us that the darkness will never win. Christ’s light prevails—and we can cling to Him for the strength to keep moving forward. Today's Bible Reading "In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” – John 1:4-5 Key Takeaways Depression and sadness may linger, but they are not stronger than Christ’s light. Isolation makes darkness heavier; community and God’s Word bring renewal. Jesus, the Light of the World, promises that the darkness cannot overcome Him. Turning to Him in prayer helps us shift our focus from despair to His radiant hope. Let’s Pray Together Dear Jesus, please help me find light when I feel surrounded by darkness. You are the world’s light, and Your love pierces through despair. Surround me with Your brilliance and guide me to trust You even in the hardest moments. My heart praises You, Lord. Amen. Calls to Action Reach out to a trusted friend or counselor if you are struggling with depression. Write down verses about God’s light (like John 1:5 or Psalm 27:1) and keep them nearby. Share this prayer with someone who may be walking through a dark season.
