Read OnlineJesus withdrew toward the sea with his disciples. A large number of people followed from Galilee and from Judea. Hearing what he was doing, a large number of people came to him also from Jerusalem, from Idumea, from beyond the Jordan, and from the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon. Mark 3:7–8Jesus was amassing quite a following, with people flocking to Him from territories that include modern-day Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan. Among them were traditional Hebraic Jews, Greek-speaking Jews, Syro-Phoenician Gentiles, and Edomites. This diverse crowd reveals how Jesus' ministry transcended cultural, religious, and national boundaries, foreshadowing the universal call of the Gospel. While some were drawn to Him through authentic faith, others came out of curiosity, eager to witness His miracles.Just prior to today's Gospel, the Pharisees and Herodians began to plot Jesus' death because they saw Him as a threat. In response, Jesus “withdrew toward the sea with his disciples.” His timing was perfect; the hour of His Passion had not yet come. This withdrawal was not an act of fear but a deliberate step forward in preparing for the next phase of His mission. There was still much to accomplish—gathering followers, performing works of mercy, and preparing the Twelve for their mission to proclaim the Kingdom of God.While Jesus acted in accordance with divine wisdom, those who flocked to Him could only see the immediate. They were captivated by His teachings and miraculous works but often misunderstood the full scope of His mission. As Ecclesiastes reminds us, “There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. A time to give birth, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build…” (Ecclesiastes 3:1–3). For Jesus, this “time” in His public ministry was a time to build up His earthly flock, teaching them, inspiring faith, and forming them for their mission.As we consider the many and diverse people who flocked to Jesus at this time in His ministry, it's important to see ourselves in them. Those who came to Him could have never imagined all that would follow. While some might have foreseen the possibility of His death due to the hostility of religious and political leaders, few, if any, could have predicted that Jesus' Passion and Death were something He would freely welcome and embrace. At that time, they could never have understood that Jesus had to suffer and die for the salvation of souls. Moreover, everything that followed His death would have been foreign to them: His Resurrection, establishment of the Church, Ascension, bestowal of the Holy Spirit, and future coming as the Universal King.We all go through countless experiences, some good, some bad. When we encounter something good, we often want to hold onto it, yet those experiences often fade with time. When we encounter something bad, we long for that situation to be removed or resolved, yet it sometimes stays longer than we hoped. Jesus' life clearly teaches us that “There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens.” As we journey through life, we ought not dismiss the difficult times and try to cling to the good ones. We must enter and live each moment as it comes and goes, seeking to use everything as God intends it, preparing us for the glory that awaits us if we remain faithful until the end.Reflect today on the seasons of your life, both the joys and the trials. How is God calling you to trust in His timing and use each moment to grow in faith and love? Consider whether you view your challenges as obstacles or as opportunities to deepen your trust in God's perfect plan. Embrace the good and the difficult, growing in grace and virtue as you do, and your life will unfold in beautiful ways, giving glory to God. In doing so, you will reflect the trust and fidelity of Jesus Himself, whose perfect obedience to the Father brought about the salvation of the world.Lord of perfect timing and wisdom, Your divine plan unfolded flawlessly throughout Your earthly life. At every moment, You lived in perfect accord with the Father's will, embracing both joy and sorrow for the sake of salvation. Help me to trust in Your providence during every season of my life, the good and the difficult, confident that You bring forth an abundance of good fruit in all things. Strengthen my faith, and teach me to surrender fully to Your will. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via picrylSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

Sanctity of Life Day is a reminder that human life is not accidental or ordinary—it is created, intentional, and sacred. This devotional centers on the biblical truth that people have value because they are made in God’s image. Our worth isn’t earned by performance, productivity, age, ability, or circumstance. It’s given by the Creator who formed us, knows us, and calls us His. The devotional also emphasizes God’s personal involvement in every life. Scripture describes Him as the One who sees us before we’re even fully formed, who writes our days with purpose, and who breathes life into humanity. That means every person carries God-given dignity and is never invisible to Him. From the beginning, God’s hand has been on our lives—shaping, guiding, and appointing good works for us to walk in. Because life is sacred to God, His people are called to value it too. That includes choosing life in our own hearts and decisions, and also standing up for those who are overlooked, vulnerable, or not valued by the world around them. The devotional calls believers to reflect God’s heart by protecting, honoring, and advocating for human dignity—speaking up, showing compassion, and living with conviction that every life is worthy of care and protection. Today is an invitation to gratitude for the gift of life, and a renewed commitment to represent God well—by cherishing life the way He does. Main Takeaways Human life is sacred because every person is made in the image of God. Your life is not accidental—God’s hand and purpose are present from the very beginning. Our worth is rooted in God’s creation and care, not in culture’s standards or achievements. God calls His people to choose life and to value the lives of others. Part of godly character is advocating for those who are vulnerable and not valued by society. Today’s Bible Verse: “What is mankind that You are mindful of them, human beings that You care for them? You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. You made them rulers over the works of Your hands; You put everything under their feet.” - Psalm 8:4-6 Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Strengthen us to value and choose life for ourselves, and stand up for individuals who are not valued in our culture.” You can listen to the full prayer here or read the devotional at the links below.

Anti-ICE protesters claim to be part of a grassroots movement by regular people – but most have no idea they are being bankrolled by a tech millionaire in China. After selling his US tech company for over $700m, researchers say the multimillionaire has poured over $100 million dollars into US activist organizations that protest against immigration enforcement, democracy in Venezuela, and “anti-imperialist” causes. The New York Times says he is orchestrating “a global web of Chinese propaganda” while Marco Rubio has pushed for an investigation into his connections to the Chinese Communist Party and other foreign influences.

As wildfires tore through California and forced over 100,000 evacuations, even Leftist celebrities began criticizing LA Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom – and some left the Left altogether. Jillian Michaels, who lost her Malibu home in the 2018 Woolsey fire, tells NewsNation the state's response to wildfires and its COVID lockdown policies changed her views after a lifetime in deep blue California. Amidst the latest Newsom and Bass scandals, two celebrities have taken steps to fix the state: former reality star Spencer Pratt, who lost his home in the Palisades fire, and Trisha Paytas, who says becoming a mother in 2022 made her more concerned about the future of California. Can celebrities save California – and the country – from Gavin Newsom? Jillian Michaels is a fitness expert, entrepreneur, and media personality.

President Trump ended “radical and wasteful government DEI programs” but discrimination is still happening in secret. Now veteran clarinetist James Zimmermann is suing the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, saying he won the blind audition for a top job but was later rejected when the company discovered his beliefs about DEI. Political commentator Lauren Chen says an FBI raid on her home and a DOJ investigation into her media company caused severe financial and personal harm, even though no charges were filed. Chen says agents seized bank accounts, triggering six-figure legal bills, unpaid payroll chaos, visa problems, and ultimately forcing her family to leave the United States. Over the holidays, Chen publicly thanked the State Department FBI and CBP for helping her family return to the United States. Kira Davis is a conservative commentator and media personality.

I recently sat down with my dear friend and author, John Loxley to discuss the fundamentals of sobriety. John is 15 years sober and works in mental health services in the UK. We weren't talking about shiny breakthroughs or dramatic transformations. We were talking about the basics — the things that quietly keep sobriety intact, year after year. Because here's the truth: most people don't relapse because they don't know enough. They relapse because they slowly stop doing the things that keep them emotionally regulated, supported, and self-aware. This episode was a reminder of what really matters. Lesson #1: Early Sobriety Is a Learning Phase — Listening Matters One of the first things we talked about was listening. When people are new to sobriety, there's often a strong urge to explain themselves, justify their story, or be understood. I remember feeling that way myself — desperate to make sure someone got me. But recovery starts to shift when listening becomes the priority. Listening to people who've been there. Listening to patterns. Listening instead of reacting. There's a time to talk — especially with sponsors, therapists, or trusted friends — but meetings and early recovery spaces are often best used as classrooms, not stages. Takeaway: You don't need to have the answers. You just need to be willing to learn. Lesson #2: You Can't Do Sobriety Alone (No Matter How Independent You Are) A lot of people want to get sober "on their own." Not because they're lazy — but because they're private, capable, or burned by past systems. But isolation is where addiction thrives. Whether it's 12-step programs, SMART Recovery, therapy, coaching, or peer support — connection isn't optional. You don't need everyone. You need someone. And just as important: those people aren't there to fix you. They're there to walk with you. Lesson #3: Sobriety Has to Stay the Top Priority This might be the most important lesson from the episode. Anytime sobriety stops being the priority — even years in — things start to unravel. Not always dramatically. Often quietly. You stop meditating. You stop checking in. You stop telling the truth. You stop doing the practices. And slowly… your nervous system takes over. John shared a powerful story about going on vacation, feeling great, and unintentionally leaving his recovery behind — only to realize how quickly emotional chaos can return when the practices stop. Sobriety isn't something you "graduate" from. It's something you maintain. Lesson #4: Identity Drives Behavior One thing I'm passionate about is identity. You're not trying to get sober. If you didn't drink today, you are sober. Every sober action is a vote for the kind of person you're becoming. Instead of obsessing over what's wrong with you, it can be incredibly powerful to ask: Who do I admire? What traits do they embody? What small actions would reinforce those traits? Sobriety is the foundation — not the finish line. Lesson #5: Triggers Are Teachers (Even Though We Hate That) We talked a lot about triggers — emotional reactions that feel bigger than the situation in front of us. If a response feels disproportionate, it's almost always about the past. Triggers aren't signs that you're failing. They're invitations to heal. When something activates fear, shame, or rage, there's usually something unresolved underneath. And once you work through it — whether through therapy, journaling, EMDR, or self-inquiry — that trigger loses its grip. There's often real growth hiding underneath discomfort. Lesson #6: You Don't Need to Win — You Need to Understand One of the most relatable moments in the conversation was about conflict. Many of us learned early on that arguments are about winning. But there are no winners in emotional battles — only distance. A simple shift like: "Help me understand how you feel" "This is what I'm hearing — is that right?" can completely change the outcome of a conversation. Feeling understood often dissolves the fight entirely. Action Steps You Can Take This Week If you want to apply what we talked about, start here: Choose one daily recovery practice Meditation, journaling, meetings, movement — consistency matters more than intensity. Check your priority list Ask honestly: Is sobriety still at the top — or has it slipped? Identify one trigger When you feel emotionally hijacked, ask: What does this remind me of? Clarify your identity Write down 5 character traits you want to embody — then choose one small daily action that supports them. Strengthen accountability Make sure there's at least one person you can be fully honest with — without editing yourself.

Four Pointed Questions: Emily offers an audit for your performance wellness versus your actual wellness. The Power of the Floor: Defining the bare minimum you do on your hardest days to ensure you never fail or "end up in the red." The 70% Rule: Why giving 70% effort to mundane tasks allows you to save 100% for the things that truly matter.

The Doorway, Not Doom Why This Surreal Moment Is Actually SacredBeloved, If the world feels loud, shaky, even a little surreal right now, you're not alone. I've been feeling it too—this almost magnetic pull into a quieter, inner sanctuary where the only voices are Presence, Hope, and that long, relieved exhale we all need.Here's why the pull is so strong: we're closing out a roughly four-hundred-year cycle—part of an even larger cosmic rhythm—that officially completes in 2027. That end date isn't about doom; it's about doorway. We're transitioning into an era that prizes personal and collective freedom, and the bridge that carries us there is contemplation. Our rich future evolves from individual and collective contemplation.Contemplation is the central path, represented by the Tao. It utilises elements of both Concentration (effort) and Meditation (no effort) to bring about a heightening of your frequency. Contemplation takes place on all three of the lower human planes; there is the: - physical contemplation, - emotional contemplation and - mental contemplation. And….over time, contemplation transforms the physical, astral and mental bodies into their higher frequency counterparts — the oversoul.With practice, contemplation balances action and inaction. Over time, you act with ease and clarity, without anxiety or hesitation — letting life move through you.Three Stages of ContemplationContemplation means entering your inner “temple” — pausing long enough to sense deeper connection and clarity in the small gaps of daily life.1. Pausing (Mind)Slow down and notice the natural breaks in your day. These brief pauses bring self-awareness, calm, and clarity. Walking, transitioning between tasks, or simply breathing can all become pauses when done consciously.2. Pivoting (Emotions)Once stillness appears, use it to shift direction. Pivoting is the moment you choose a higher response instead of a habitual pattern — transforming shadows or negativity into insight. Not every pause becomes a pivot, but more pauses create more opportunities.3. Merging (Body/Life)Flowing from pivoting, merging is applying that transformation outward.You move toward life with openness, trust, and wholeheartedness. It is the mature expression of contemplation — meeting whatever arises with presence.The greatest transfer of wealth and revitalized health is shifting into the next phase of evolution in which all systems in our universe make a quantum leap into a higher dimensions.Our awareness shifts from being self-centered to the collective. Some practical tips? Focus on the new energy—intimacy, freedom, and responsibility. As the old world changes, trust yourself, go inward, and see ambiguity as opportunity. Embrace new energies: intimacy, freedom, and responsibility.Aligning with the future makes this transition easier. I'm grateful we're navigating this together. As old doors close and new visions emerge, continue practicing self-agency, deepen your sense of responsibility, and remain observant.To support you during uncertain times, join an Oracle Experience with Personalized Answers - on your time.

After decades of saving lives, retired Air Force Colonel Dr. Kirk Milhoan was fired from his pediatric cardiology practice after being named chair of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).

Federal prosecutors say arrests tied to California's homeless services are just beginning after investigators – tipped off by a viral Nick Shirley video – uncovered fraud across multiple states. President Trump has accused California of corruption even worse than Minnesota's multibillion dollar scandal. US Attorney Bill Essayli alleges that real estate executives stole millions from pandemic-era programs, with dozens of active probes underway. Meanwhile, in the wake of the Palisades wildfires, CA Gov. Gavin Newsom is requesting (even more) billions of dollars of federal disaster aid – leaving many CA residents to wonder where their tax dollars have been going.

After a viral video found “Ned's Declassified” star Tylor Chase homeless on the streets of California and addicted to meth, actor Shaun Weiss (child star from Mighty Ducks) says he arranged for a detox bed and long term treatment. Tylor was placed on a 72-hour hold – but unfortunately, due to CA's overly permissive laws on homelessness and addiction, Tylor was “inexplicably released.” “They were supposed to hold him,” Shaun told TMZ. “Instead, they let him out without contacting any of us.” Weiss, who previously struggled with homelessness and addiction himself, says countless others have tried to help Tylor, including his own family who has reportedly spent tens of thousands of dollars trying to get him to stay in rehab. But Weiss tells TMZ that Tylor's addiction continues to land him back on the streets, even “smoking meth during the evaluation with no shoes or jacket in the freezing cold.” Shaun Weiss is an actor best known for his role in The Mighty Ducks films. Weiss is an advocate for recovery, relapse prevention, and ending addiction-driven homelessness.

Daily Dose of Hope January 9, 2026 Scripture: Galatians 5 Today, we will start with the Holy Spirit prayer by Saint Augustine, who lived in the fourth century. I find it incredibly powerful and I hope you do as well: Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, That my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, That my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, That I love but what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, To defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, That I always may be holy. Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan. We are almost done with the first week of our new reading plan, Journey into the Letters of Paul, during which we will walk through Paul's letters chronologically. With a few exceptions, many of these letters are kind of short, with 5-6 chapters. What you will find is that we will go through these fairly quickly and it's possible they might run together for you. I would suggest you keep some notes. What are you learning from each letter? What are the main themes and what are your big takeaways from the reading? Since we are just in Galatians, Paul's first letter, this is a good time to think about this. Okay, so today we read Galatians 5. Here we see the theme of freedom from the law once again. Paul is emphasizing that in Christ, we have freedom. Under the law, we live in bondage. He is imploring the Galatians to live as free people, true heirs of God, experiencing the fullness of life that comes knowing you belong to Jesus Christ. There is a lot of focus on circumcision here. That may seem odd to us, as circumcision just isn't that big a deal in our world. Individual parents make a decision based on a lot of different factors whether to circumcise their boys. Paul has some harsh words for the Galatians about circumcision, and it almost seems like he is condemning it. Verses 2-3 are harsh, Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. Let's dig a little deeper. Jesus himself was circumcised. Paul had Timothy circumcised before taking him on a missionary journey to make it easier to witness to the Jews. So what is up with this? I'm thinking motive and intention is the answer. Let me explain. Before Jesus, circumcision was the sign of the covenant that the Jewish people had with God. It functioned sort of like a key that granted entry into the household of God. But after Jesus came, the house of God is entered through Jesus Christ himself. Those who follow him no longer need the old key. The Jews may still hold onto the key physically, but it is no longer the means of entry. The sign of the new covenant is baptism. But even baptism isn't a requirement for salvation, only belief in Jesus. Some of us may have chosen to circumcise our children. But what was our motive or intention? When I had my boys circumcised as babies, it had nothing to do with their salvation. I wasn't thinking about following Jewish law. Rather, I was thinking more about health issues or going with the recommendation of my pediatrician. But if I had done it because I thought it would make my child or myself more acceptable to God or somehow make me more righteous, then that would be a terribly wrong motive. Furthermore, if I thought that my boys could only associate with other circumcised boys because they are more acceptable in God's eyes, then I would really be wrong. I think you get the point and I believe that is what Paul is saying too. Christ has freed us from these laws that separate us from others. It's our heart that God cares about and as we move further into Paul's letters, we will find he begins to speak of a circumcision of the heart. That's what we need! Paul speaks to how easy it is to slip back into a life of bondage. Others use their freedom to engage in sin. Paul is stating that neither is acceptable. True Christian freedom manifests itself in obedience, self-control, and love. Just as Christ sets us free, Paul says that it is the continuing work of the Holy Spirit in our lives that sanctifies us, allows us to better reflect Jesus. When the Holy Spirit comes and makes a home within us, it begins to transform us from the inside out. We cannot stay the same people once the Spirit of the Living God is within us. There should be fruit that demonstrates our new nature. That fruit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Reflect on the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. How well do you exemplify these attributes in your own life? Are some easier than others for you? Something I find interesting about these is that they are "fruit" of the Spirit, not "fruits." God intends for us to live out each of these, not just some of them. If we are very kind people but we lack self-control, then we need to spend time in prayer and ask God to help us with our self-control and then be intentional about working on that trait. If we struggle with patience, then we do the same thing. Friends, we have the Spirit of God living within us and that is powerful and transformative. Spend some time today praying about the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in your life. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

In today's episode, Nancy invites you to consider the people God has placed in your life—not as distractions or obligations, but as divine appointments in your maturing journey. Far from a complaint, this is a celebration of the brethren, the body of Christ. Nancy shares her own transformation and dependency on God through the relationships He's provided, reminding us that while people are not our source, they can be a powerful extension of His life when rightly ordered. Drawing from scripture, lived experience, and foundational discipleship teachings, this episode dives into the maturing life of sons and the deep, often costly fellowship that comes with choosing God's way of life. Whether you're navigating addiction, spiritual growth, or learning to love the body of Christ again, this episode reminds you: we are being shaped for something greater—together.

If you're feeling distracted, mentally fogged, and unable to pay attention to the task at hand, you're not alone. The human brain is highly susceptible to often unproductive mind-wandering, and modern technology has only made the problem worse. But we all know that the best work comes when you're able to really zero in on an idea or problem for a sustained period of time. So, we need better strategies for blocking out the external and internal noise. Dr. Amishi Jha, a neuroscientist and professor of psychology at the University of Miami and the author of “Peak Mind,” offers recommendations based on studies of people in some of the most high-pressure jobs in the world.

Let's get something straight right out of the gate:2026 is not a “soft launch”.It's a fuck around and find out year.And my favorite astro bestie Torrence Tremayne gives a very specific and direct break down of everything you need to know.After half a decade of grief, dissociation, therapy-speak, spiritual bypassing, and late-stage capitalism catastrophes, the astrology of 2026 signals something potent:
CBS reports “industrial-scale fraud” in Minnesota after a viral video by X journalist Nick Shirley exposed billions of dollars in losses allegedly tied to fake daycare centers primarily run by Somali immigrants. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (who ran as Kamala Harris' VP) claims his admin has spent years strengthening oversight, but called Pres. Trump's criticism “vile, racist lies and slander.” Federal authorities have charged more than 90 people in the scheme. But if it's happening in Minnesota, could this same fraud be happening across the country? Jeremy Hambly is best known as The Quartering, a political and pop culture commentator.

Hey CBJ Family! "If we don't intentionally invest in our health today, we will unitentionally pay for it later." This statement hit home for us years ago, and in this episode, we are diving into all the ways faith and prayer can get you healthy and fit especially in this new year. Health is not about vanity, it's about stewardship. When we invite God into how we train, eat, and rest, everything changes. The new year doesn't require pressure or perfection, it invites intention. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says "do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit...therefore honor God with your bodies." This verse reminds us to treat our bodoes like a place where God dwells-not something to neglect or abuse. When we are stressed and feeling chaotic, we tend to make unhealthy choices or experience emotional eating. When we are living in a peaceful state, we make better and healhtier decisions, which impacts our lives in positive ways. Today, ask God to help you show up for yourself, in your food choices, and to give you the strength to make better decisions about your health overall. Pause before you eat, pray, and be gentle with yourself through the process. A prayer we encourage you to say daily is, "Lord, I'm showing up, meet me here. Thank you for the body You've entrusted to me. Today I choose stewardship over pressure. Guide how I move, how I eat, and how I rest. Give me wisdom for small choices and grace when prgress feels slow. Strengthen me, not for vanity, but for purpose. Help me show up healthy, present, and available for what You've called me to do. In Jesus' Name, Amen." We pray that this episode encourages you to get into momentum, and stay in momentum, as you start a new year while creating new healthy habits that stick. Remember, routine will keep you going when you want to quit. Start a new one and stick to it!

Moms, life throws us into so many conversations every day… Talking with our kids, navigating our husband's work party, connecting with other moms, or building our own friendship. All of these moments show who we are and how we communicate. Today, Debra Fileta, counselor, author, and podcaster, joins me to share practical tips on how to communicate effectively with friends, family, and loved ones. In our tech-driven world, we've lost many opportunities for genuine connection, and often we don't realize how we come across when meeting new people or entering a room full of strangers. Debra shares insights from her new book, People Skills, to help us connect in deeper, more authentic ways. Here's some of what we cover: Relationships and people skills: The strength of your relationships depends on the skills you bring into them. Communication matters: In a tech-driven world, real-life interactions with tone, body language, and facial expressions are more important than ever. Understanding communication styles: Learn the four types—assertive, aggressive, passive, passive-aggressive—and how to navigate them. Practical tips for being a great conversationalist: Honor your story, honor theirs, and create space for give-and-take in relationships.

As a new year begins, many people carry regret, disappointment, or anxiety from what they didn’t accomplish in the past year. Yet Scripture invites us to move forward with hope, not fear. Philippians 1:6 reminds us that God is faithful to complete the good work He began in us. He does not call us to dwell on the past, but to trust His power to renew, restore, and make all things new. God’s newness isn’t wishful thinking—it’s His promise. No matter what the previous year looked like, He is still working, still transforming, and still bringing new life and purpose as we step into the year ahead. Today’s Bible Verse: Philippians 1:6 – https://www.biblestudytools.com/philippians/1-6.html“Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Main Takeaways You’ll learn why God doesn’t want you living in regret or replaying past failures. Discover how Philippians 1:6 gives confidence that God completes what He starts. Understand how Scripture repeatedly calls believers to stop looking back and press forward. Reflect on how God promises to do new things—even when we can’t yet perceive them. Be encouraged that your future is shaped by God’s renewal, not your past disappointments.
