Philippians 4:11-12 | Devotion

(Advent Series: Part 5 of 5) A guided time with God through prayer and reflection on Scripture. 
 
In this final Well episode of 2020, explore the theme of LOVE. Mary's story is a remarkable story, one that we can find a lot of our own story within, especially this year. Dig into the Hebrew concept of Hesed (committed love) and the Greek concept of Agape (others-oriented love) as you are held closely by Him. Written by Brandon Bathauer.

E24 Love: Luke 2:18-19

Deuteronomy 7:9 | Devotion

(Advent Series: Part 4 of 5) A guided time with God through prayer and reflection on Scripture. 
 
In this episode, explore the theme of joy. We all need joy, not just some fleeting happiness. In this upside down season, how can we find moments and glimpses of joy? We can only find real joy in light of the relational reality of God's coming near. Take some time to soak in the nearness of God, so you may be a source of joy to others around you.

E23 Joy: Luke 2:10-11

(Advent Series: Part 3 of 5) A guided time with God through prayer and reflection on Scripture. 
 
In this episode, put yourself into the shoes of those who lived in Bethlehem. What did peace mean to them? How is God's promised peace different from the world's peace? If peace is greater than the absence of conflict, what could that mean to you? Spend some time with the God who brings us true peace, the peace we all need.

Isaiah 9:6 | Devotion

John 8:37 | Devotion

(Advent Series-Episode 2 of 5) A guided time with God through prayer and reflection on Scripture. 
 
In this episode, put yourself into the shoes of the shepherds. What were their hopes? What did their thoughts go to? And how did the proclamation of the angels of the arrival of the new king change their hopes? How can the arrival of the new king shape your hopes?

Philippians 4:4-9 | Devotions

Philippians 3:20-21 | Devotion

A guided time with God through prayer and reflection on Scripture. In the midst of the bitter division felt here in my country, the United States, I thought it would be helpful to pause and reflect on a time Jesus was faced with a political trap. In this episode, take some time out of the partisanship of our world and ask your savior who He would call you to be. Reflect on your political stances, and even moreso, your political responses, and ask Jesus to help you reflect Him in your interactions.

A Reflection for Political Times (Matthew 22:15-22)

Matthew 13:44-46 | Devotion

A guided time with God through prayer and reflection on Scripture. In this episode, put yourself in the shoes of the Hebrews, wandering the desert, needing water. What are you thirsting for, while you journey through long stretches of desert? What mirages do you chase to find refreshment? Where can you find oases, and even BE oases to others? Spend time with the source of water to find answers to these questions.

E18  Living Water (John 7:37-38)

(Psalm 23 Series) Concluding one of the most famous poems in history, the poem of the shepherd. Where does this poem end? With a twist...we, smelly sheep, led by the Shepherd, are invited to live in the house of Yahweh, our Creator. What does it mean to dwell in the house of the LORD? Spend some time exploring different rooms of this home, and then move in, to live out all your days.
