Madison Christian | Thankfully I’m not the Gardener in this teaching, Jesus is. I am the soil. He is the one doing the planting and He is the Gardener who can tend to the plants and cause fruit to come forth.

Jared Baker | Three months ago, my wife Maddie and I experienced the heartbreaking death of her little sister, Jayme.

Jake Harp | God absolutely calls us to pray for workers to be sent into his harvest field. But he doesn’t want us to stop there.

Mac Johnson | As it turned out, the European vacation I was expecting ended up being a grueling service project in the basement of a nursing home in a not-so-pleasant city scraping plaster and paint (which I am convinced contained asbestos) off the walls. Sitting in a hotel room after the day’s work I saw in my mind’s eye the word “Here.”

Lindsay Haddan | We are to put our ultimate trust in the foundation of Christ and be firmly and unshakably rooted in him. We know we can trust God because he is a good Father that gives good gifts to his children.

Chip Songer | The beatitudes are not a list of virtues to obtain, but an invitation to receive. 

Jim Wickenkamp | The price of discipleship is worth leaving everything behind.

Todd Owen | Twenty-five years ago Angela and I left Joplin with our two little boys to move to a country we’d never visited before: Papua New Guinea. It’s a good thing God is in charge. Otherwise, we might’ve done an about-face upon arrival.

Cindy Cutler | No matter what 2022 brings, I am reminded that all battles belong to God and God alone.

Peter Buckland | Our souls do thirst for the meaningfulness and satisfaction that come from a close relationship with God, but we often let the tasks and tiredness of life squeeze out any interaction with Him.

Isaac Schade | God is more near to you than you could ever imagine.

Drake Holderman | These words have no season, they are not for an occasion. These words are an anthem for us to repeat to ourselves in every situation.

Theresa Barnes | Healing comes from hoping.

Taylor Miller | Our inability or lack of desire to rest and Sabbath is rooted in the sin of idolatry.

Allison Stump | A relationship without trust isn’t a true relationship.

Tyler Bade | We have a father that loves us, simply because we exist.

Abial Diaz | Cuidad de Gracia’s mission is to be transformed by the grace of Jesus, to reflect his glory, and establish his kingdom in our community.

Olivia Loghry | God has taken care of every detail and He is waiting for us to trust Him.

Gabbi Schmidt | He is working for us now no matter how insurmountable our circumstances may seem.

In my moments of panic, chaos, and confusion, it’s his love and grace for me that brings me peace.
