    I Love to Tell The Story

    A hymn can feel like background noise until you learn what it cost someone to write it. Today we step back into 1800s London to trace the surprising origin of “I Love to Tell the Story,” a cornerstone of Christian hymnbooks that grew out of reform, missions, and a season of forced stillness that became creative fire. We talk through the Clapham Sect, a community known for their work to end slavery in the British Empire and their push for prison reform, education, and missionary expansion. From that world comes Catherine Hankey, raised around faith in action, teaching Sunday school, leading Bible studies for factory girls, and developing a deep passion for foreign missions. When severe illness leaves her bedridden for a year, she writes a 100-stanza poem, “The Old Old Story,” which later gets shaped into music and eventually becomes the hymn many churches still sing today. Then we get to the heart of why this song endures: the gospel story. Using Luke 19:10, we unpack the message that Jesus comes to seek and to save the lost, giving hope, purpose, and meaning when life feels empty. To top it off, we feature a standout modern take by Chris Rupp, who performs the hymn in beautiful four-part harmony by singing all four parts himself, blending classic Christian worship music with inventive a cappella artistry.

    Good Soil

    Your Bible can feel powerful one moment and distant the next, and that swing can leave you wondering what’s wrong with your faith. We open Luke 8 and sit with Jesus’ parable of the sower, a vivid picture of the Word of God as good seed and our hearts as the soil it lands on. When the message doesn’t seem to “stick,” the problem usually isn’t the seed. It’s what’s happening in the ground.  We walk through each soil: the hard path where truth gets snatched away before it can be believed, the rocky ground where joy shows up fast but roots never form, and the thorny patch where worries, money stress, and pleasures slowly choke spiritual growth. If you’ve ever felt excited about God’s promises and then folded under pressure, or if you’ve watched anxiety crowd out prayer, this conversation puts words to that experience and points to a better way forward.  We also linger on the hope of good soil: hearing the Word, retaining it, and persevering through trials until God produces a real harvest, joy that overcomes, strength that holds, and peace that surpasses understanding. Join us today and subscribe for more short daily devotionals, share this with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review with the “soil” you’re working on right now.

    Relationships

    Prayer can feel confusing when the internet turns it into a formula: say the right words, push the right buttons, get the result you want. I’m not buying that, and today I explain why. We take a clear look at what Christian prayer actually is and what it is not, especially when you see viral “prayer scripts” that promise money, success, or instant answers. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re praying the wrong way, or felt uneasy about trying to bargain with God, this short conversation will steady you.  I come back to a simple idea: prayer is about relationship with God, not manipulation. Real relationships require two-way communication, so prayer includes both talking and listening. Jeremiah 29:12 reminds us that God listens when we call on Him, and that changes the whole posture of prayer. We also talk about bringing real needs to God without shame or theatrics, grounded in Ephesians 6:18, and why prayer has power because of God’s love and action, not because we can “make” something happen.  If you’re looking for biblical prayer, how to hear God, and a daily faith practice that builds trust, this is a strong five-minute reset. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review with the biggest question you’re bringing to God right now. We would love to hear your comments.

    Lessons From A Failure.

    Failure can feel personal fast. One rough conversation, one bad decision at work, one plan that backfires, and suddenly we start talking to ourselves like we’re the problem instead of someone who had a problem. Today I share a quick reset built for real mornings, when you’re tired, honest, and tempted to label yourself by what went wrong.  We would love to hear your comments.

    When Church Music Changes

    A new worship song starts on Sunday and suddenly the room feels split: some people light up, others shut down. We get it. Church music is personal, tied to memory, tradition, and the way we learned to worship. Today we step back from debating styles and ask a better question: how do we stay together as Christians when our preferences differ? We share a gem from Billy Graham’s spiritual advice column, where he responds to a church member who wants to complain about “new songs” in the service. His guidance is simple but tough to live out: ask God to help you be grateful for all music that points people to Christ, whether it is a classic hymn, contemporary Christian worship, gospel, or another style. You may not connect with every song, but someone else might, and God can use it to encourage them and draw them closer to Jesus. We would love to hear your comments.

    How Great is Our God

    The phrase “God is great” can become so familiar that it turns into background noise. Today we slow down long enough to hear it again with fresh weight and real wonder, using Chris Tomlin’s “How Great Is Our God” World Edition as a soundtrack for a brand new week. Hearing worship in multiple languages becomes a powerful reminder that the life-changing power of Christ reaches anyone, anywhere, and that praise isn’t confined by borders. We also step outside for a simple practice that resets perspective fast: look up at the night sky. Stars, galaxies, and even a single shooting star can jolt us awake to the scale of creation and the greatness of the Creator. Psalm 145:3 puts words to what we feel in those moments, that God’s greatness is beyond what we can fully grasp, yet still worthy of our full attention. If God created the universe, is He great enough to meet you in what you’re facing this week: needs, worries, decisions, and pressure? We lean on Philippians 4:18 as a steady promise that God cares and provides through Jesus Christ.  Here is the link to today's song. https://youtu.be/vg5qDljEw7Q?si=wNQkzLPR8yt1bpU2      We would love to hear your comments.

    LionHearted

    A man sees a lion on a snowy day and does the unthinkable: he chases it. That single decision turns into one of the most memorable courage stories in the Bible, and it’s the spark for today’s five-minute start on Starting Right with Danny Mack. We lean into 2 Samuel 23:20 and the story of Benaiah, one of David’s mighty men, to ask a simple question with big consequences: when fear shows up, do we retreat to what’s safe or do we step forward in faith? We also pull wisdom from Mark Batterson, senior pastor of National Community Church in Washington, D.C., and his book “Chase the Lion.” The message is direct: the fear of failure keeps us from God-sized goals, God-given passions, and the kind of obedience that builds a powerful testimony. If the best results were always easy, everyone would have them. Instead, real spiritual growth and Christian leadership often require a risk that doesn’t “make sense” on paper but makes room for God’s purpose to unfold. Along the way, we connect the dots across Scripture, from Abraham and Moses to Esther and Peter, and we read the punchy Lion Chasers Manifesto: run to the roar, become part of the solution, face your fears, fight for your dreams, dare to fail, and chase the lion.  We would love to hear your comments.

    Nothing Happens by Chance

    A delayed flight, an emergency landing, and a storm so bad a seasoned doctor can’t even see the road ahead. Most of us would call that a terrible day. We call it a clue. If you’ve been praying for something that feels impossible, this short daily devotional is built to meet you right there, with clear hope and a story you won’t forget. We start by slowing down and asking a direct question: what have we been praying about the last time we prayed? The needs are real, from relationships and finances to work stress and family pressure. Then we anchor to Scripture that steadies anxious hearts, including Ephesians on God working things out according to his plan and Psalm 33 on the Lord’s purposes standing firm through every generation. The point isn’t that life stays calm, it’s that God isn’t caught off guard. From there we tell the true account of Dr. Abul Ahmed, a respected cancer specialist traveling to Chicago in the year 2000. A chain of setbacks forces him into a rental car, off course, and eventually to a small house on a deserted road. Inside, a woman offers simple kindness and keeps praying beside a crib. What she asks God for will stop him cold, and it reframes every “wrong turn” as a kind of providence. It’s a powerful reminder that prayer works, miracles still happen, and faith can outlast fear.
