Hello, beloved ones! I hope your Easter was extra special this year. It definitely felt quiet and sacred in an interesting way. I can’t complain! So, first off: have you seen our Worship issue teaser video? I like to challenge myself to make a quick teaser video for each issue. Each new one becomes my …
We’ve been taking an in-depth look at ideas for devotions over the past couple weeks. So far, we’ve covered great prayers of the Bible and how to start a word study. This week, let’s look at studying who the twelve disciples were. It just hit me a couple months ago: I . Don’t. Know. About. …
Some of my favorite passages in the Bible are prayers. In my Bible, I mark these amazing prayers with an orange highlighter (when I remember hehe . . . which is about one in every seven prayers but we won’t talk about that). The thing I love about these amazing prayers is that, because they …
