Christian encouragement and devotionals for your walk with Christ
For the last couple of weeks, we’ve been digging into Judges 6 to get everything we can out of it. This particular chapter of Judges is so rich and filled with wisdom on finding your calling. Often we are a bit hard on Gideon, quick to point out his doubts and shortcomings but I think…
Sometimes God’s call brings us to roles where God is my strength has to be more real then it ever has been before. He draws us into positions we feel ill-equipped for and into roles we could never imagine ourselves in. He uses what the world would call a weakness as a platform. As we…
A prayer walk is a powerful way for believers to step out in faith and cover the communities and neighborhoods in powerful, specific, and strategic prayer. It’s a powerful strategy that you can implement in your prayer life to help build a vibrant prayer life and reach out to your community. How powerful would…
