In this fifth meditation of our Lenten series, I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus, we slow down with Jesus’s words in John 14:1–6:
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.”

Jesus speaks these words on the night before His arrest. The disciples are gathered in an upper room, sensing that something is wrong but not fully understanding what is coming. Fear, confusion, and grief are already beginning to settle in. Into that moment, Jesus does not offer explanations or timelines. He offers comfort, presence, and promise.

He tells them not to let their...

What do you hold onto when God feels distant, faith feels fragile, and life feels overwhelming?

In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Gem Fadling welcomes author Whitney Lowe for a rich conversation about God’s steadfast love, spiritual identity, and the quiet work of healing and restoration. Drawing from Scripture and Whitney’s book Called Back to Who You Are, this episode explores what it means to return to God, not through striving, but through trust, rest, and remembering who you truly are.

This conversation is especially meaningful for anyone...

When we face spiritual battles in our own lives, we don't fight for victory. We fight from victory.

Our confidence isn't in our strength. It's in Christ.

He shed His blood for us.
He defends us against every accusation.
And He will one day bring this conflict to its final end.

Until that day, we keep holding onto the testimony of Jesus.

Because the Lamb who was slain is also the King who reigns.

Some moments in life shake us to our core. News arrives that changes everything, and suddenly the future we imagined feels uncertain or even impossible. In those moments, it can feel like the ground beneath our feet is shifting, leaving us wondering how we will keep moving forward.

The Bible reminds us that God’s faithfulness does not depend on stable circumstances. In 1 Samuel 7:12, the prophet Samuel set up a stone and named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the LORD has helped us.” That stone served as a memorial—a visible reminder of God’s faithfulness through difficult...

There are moments in life when exhaustion settles deep in our hearts. Responsibilities pile up, worries linger, and discouragement quietly grows. In those seasons, it can feel as though we are simply trying to survive each day.

Yet Matthew 9:36 reminds us of something deeply comforting: when Jesus saw the crowds, He had compassion on them. He didn’t merely notice them—He understood their condition. He saw their exhaustion, their confusion, and their vulnerability. They were “harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”

The same compassionate gaze rests on you today.

Jesus does not...

Wherever you are today, this biblical meditation, narrated by Ben Little, offers a quiet space to pause and reconnect with God.

Like the rising sun and seasonal rains, God always shows up when the moment is right. Waiting on Him is an active process—pressing on in prayer, trusting His character, and expecting renewal. When God appears, He brings deep healing, restores hope, and nourishes growth, turning barren seasons into fertile ones for spiritual flourishing.

Highlights

God’s Faithfulness: He appears as surely as the sun rises, showing reliability in every season.

There are seasons when it feels like nothing you do is good enough. You try your best, put in the effort, and still feel like you fall short—especially when you compare yourself to others who seem to succeed more easily. Over time, these experiences can form a quiet but painful belief: I’m not good enough.

But Scripture offers a different perspective.

In 2 Corinthians 12:9, the Apostle Paul shares a powerful truth from the Lord: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Paul had his own struggles and limitati...

Loving others is easy when relationships are smooth and mutual kindness flows freely. But the real challenge of love appears when someone hurts us, disappoints us, or treats us unfairly. In those moments, forgiveness can feel almost impossible.

Yet Ephesians 4:32 calls us to a higher way: “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Notice the standard—just as Christ forgave you.

God’s forgiveness toward us is astonishing. Through Jesus, our sins—past, present, and future—are covered by His grace. When we confess, God does not hol...

Friendship is not optional in the Christian life—it’s essential. Lauren Fletcher highlights how God designs relationships to encourage, support, and help us grow in Christ. By sharing our struggles, confessing sin, and offering genuine care, we reflect God’s love to one another. True friendships sharpen us, lift us up in times of need, and create a community where His love is experienced and expressed.

Highlights

Encouragement: Friends help us persevere and remind us of God’s truth (1 Thessalonians 5:11).

Spiritual Growth: “As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend” (Proverbs 27...

During difficult seasons, we often look for something steady—something that won’t shift beneath us when fear and uncertainty begin to rise. Scripture reminds us that God Himself is our firm foundation, the rock that holds us steady through every storm. His presence never wavers, and His peace never runs dry.

Yet God, in His kindness, gives us another gift to help sustain us through life’s challenges: His people.

The body of Christ is one of God’s most tangible expressions of care. Through fellow believers, God provides encouragement, prayer, wisdom, and comfort. Sometime...

Spiritual warfare is real and the armor of God is how you fight back. Most people see the battles in their life — marriage, finances, health, addiction — but they never recognize the spiritual battle behind it all. In this episode of the March or Die Podcast, host Sean Kennard sits down with Pastor Dave Edwards to explain what the Bible says about spiritual warfare, why your suffering is NOT coming from God, and how to put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6) to fight the enemy you can't see.

She shares personal stories about disordered eating and reveals scriptural truths that encourage us to receive food with gratitude rather than guilt or suspicion. Discover why enjoying food isn’t indulg...

Today’s Bible Verse: “Then he said to them, ‘My soul is very sorrowful to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.’” — Matthew 26:38 

Matthew 26:38 gives us a deeply human moment from the life of Jesus. In the Garden of Gethsemane, as He faced the suffering of the cross, Jesus openly expressed the weight of His sorrow. He did not hide His anguish—He shared it with His closest disciples and asked them to stay with Him.

Too often, we settle for “at least” in our lives—accepting less than what God intends because we feel guilty, undeserving, or afraid to hope for more. Cindi McMenamin reminds us that God’s love is not minimal; He desires to do “immeasurably more” than we can imagine. Gratitude and contentment should not become resignation. Instead, we are called to ask boldly, trust His goodness, and anticipate His blessings in every area of life, knowing that His power works within us to exceed our expectations.

Highlights

Settling for “at least” limits the abundant life God wants for us.

When life presents a challenge, it’s easy for our thoughts to drift toward worst-case scenarios. A strained relationship, financial pressure, or a troubling diagnosis can quickly fill our minds with fear and uncertainty. Preparing ourselves mentally for the worst can feel like wisdom—but often it simply redirects our attention away from God’s power and onto our problems.

Ephesians 3:20-21 reminds us that God’s ability far exceeds our expectations. He is “able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.” The possibilities of what God can do are not limited by our experiences...

There are seasons in life when joy feels distant. Not gone entirely, but quiet—muted beneath layers of grief, waiting, or disappointment. It doesn’t always disappear suddenly. Often it fades slowly as the weight of unanswered prayers and unexpected losses settles into our hearts.

Psalm 51:12 captures a beautiful and honest prayer: “Restore to me the joy of your salvation.” David does not ask for his circumstances to change first. He asks for something deeper—restoration within his heart.

That distinction matters. Joy is not something we manufacture through effort or force through positive thinking. It is some...
