Planting Seeds Day 7: Build and Rebuild
However God calls you to plant seeds for His kingdom, you won’t get far if you haven’t paid attention to the building that is the foundation for your faith: Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them is like a man building a house who dug deep and laid a…

Planting Seeds Day 5: Send Me
Isaiah the prophet was called to plant seeds for the people of Israel to clearly follow their God, but his awareness of their sin blocked his own sense of confidence in this role. God had a special vision for Isaiah that made all the difference! We know that we are sent to plant seeds for…

Planting Seeds Day 4: Feed My Sheep
This is one of my favorite passages in Scripture, because I have been on this John 21 beach! In 2002 I spent four months in Israel and was able to jump in the car and in a few hours reach pretty much any place mentioned in the Bible. This beach is by the Sea of…

Planting Seeds Day 3: Good News
Jesus’ ministry started officially when He was in the synagogue in Nazareth. He didn’t list things for us to do, but described a vision of what it will look like already done. And who would do it! Jesus stood up to read the scroll of Isaiah: The Spirit of the LORD is on Me, because…

Habits of Jesus Day 21: Go
God said to Isaiah, Who will go? And Isaiah said, “I’ll go!” In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, sitting on a throne, and the train of His robe was filling the temple. Above Him were worshiping angels, each with six wings: with two wings they covered their…

Habits of Jesus Day 20: It Is Finished!
On the cross, Jesus knew that He completed His mission on earth. Literally, and figuratively. He proclaimed the good news to the poor, set the oppressed free and healed the blind, the lame and the diseased (Luke 4: 18-19). He taught and loved His twelve disciples and the faithful crowd. He sought out and served…

Habits of Jesus Day 19: Beyond Easter
There is sadness and pain in reviewing Jesus’ ordeal on the cross. There is joy in the empty tomb. There is confidence in His ascension to heaven.

30 DAY FAST, SEPTEMBER 1 – SEPTEMBER 30 (Join any time, see how to prepare below.)
Early morning posts every day: 30 days of fasting does not mean you do not eat for 30 days! A fast can be many things. Normally it is a plan to deny yourself some kind of food or something that is habitual. You want the lack of it to be noticed regularly by your body and your mind. And you want to experience a sort of hunger for it. It can be a good thing or a bad thing. A fast, by design, will turn your thoughts toward God when the moment comes that you say No. These posts will help you prepare and focus on how He will spiritually provide what you need, in the moment and beyond.
Evening posts every day: Personal posts from me that share my own daily experience of fasting, encourage tasting the sweetness of our Lord before sleep, and prepare us for an ever deeper renewal in the morning.
