Have you ever noticed that when you start something new, one of the first things you do is find your people? Whether it's a new job, hobby, or life season, we weren't meant to do it alone.

God on the Go by AllMomDoes - Brave Enough: To Ask for Help
I've always been a bit of an "I'll do it myself" person, and maybe you can relate. Yes, it can be brave to do things yourself. But sometimes it can be even braver to ask for help when you need it.
Whether you're a kid facing a tough situation at school or an adult carrying more than you should on your own, today I'm sharing how God can provide wisdom, guidance, and support when we're brave enough to admit we can't do it all alone.

Most of us don't immediately think of repentance as a gift, yet some of the most freeing moments in life come when we finally stop running, acknowledge what's wrong, and turn back toward God.

Gospel Tech with Nathan Sutherland - How Do I Know if my Child's Tech is a Problem?
One helpful way to tell if technology is becoming a problem is to look at how it's affecting a child's relationships, emotions, sleep, enjoyment of other activities, and use of time. Sometimes the issue isn't the technology itself, but whether it leaves a child more irritable, dependent on screens to cope, less interested in other hobbies, or unable to be content when it's time to unplug.
Rather than turning every tech struggle into a battle, it's often more helpful to approach it with curiosity and care. When we pay attention to the fruit technology is producing in our...

No matter what circumstances he faced, God was with him, and Joseph consistently pointed others back to the Lord.His example challenges us to follow God faithfully every day, trusting Him in both the hidden moments and the public ones.

Have you ever looked back and realized how much God was doing in a season you barely noticed at the time? In the middle of busy schedules and full minds, it's easy to forget His faithfulness, but remembering has a way of restoring our perspective.

It's easy for meaningful things to become routine. Whether it's a daily habit, a family tradition, or even gathering for church, sometimes we move through familiar rhythms without stopping to appreciate the gift they are.
In Leviticus 23 we're shown that God intentionally created space for rest, celebration, and gratitude because remembering His goodness together shapes our hearts in ways we often don't realize.

The Bible For Busy People - 72 Disciples - Called and Sent - Luke 10
Starting something new can feel overwhelming. Whether it's a new job, a new season, or a new responsibility, there's always a learning curve. That's why it's encouraging to see that Jesus didn't expect His followers to have everything figured out before sending them out.
When Jesus commissioned the 72 disciples, He sent them with a simple but powerful mission: bring God's peace wherever they went. They would face both welcome and rejection, but they were never sent alone. Their confidence wasn't in themselves but in God's presence. It's a timely reminder that as we share God's love with others...

Every once in a while, we experience a moment that leaves us humbled and speechless. A breathtaking view, a life-changing event, or an encounter that reminds us just how small we are and how great God is. That's what happened to Isaiah.
In a powerful vision of God's holiness, Isaiah became deeply aware of both God's glory and his own need for grace. Yet after God cleansed and prepared him, Isaiah responded with courage: "Here am I. Send me." His story reminds us that God doesn't call perfect people. He equips willing ones.

Gospel Tech with Nathan Sutherland - Sextortion
Sextortion is a growing online scam where criminals pose as peers, build trust with young people, and then use fear and manipulation to extort them. It's important to have open, calm conversations with kids now, so they know they can come to a trusted adult if something happens and understand that their worth isn't defined by a mistake or a difficult situation.
At the heart of it all is the power of relationship. When kids know they are loved, supported, and safe to talk honestly with their parents, they're much more likely to seek help instead of carrying...

The Bonfire with Jesse Bradley - Supernatural Power
We all know what it's like to try harder, do better, and lean on our own strength, but the Christian life was never meant to be lived that way. Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit to fill us with His power, guide us to become more like Him, and help us do what we could never do on our own.

Have you ever been completely certain you knew what was best, only to discover later that God had a different plan? We naturally judge by what we can see, but God has a way of looking far deeper than appearances, accomplishments, or first impressions.
As Saul's failures lead to David's calling, we're reminded that God's choices often surprise us. While people focus on outward success, God sees the heart. Trust God's wisdom, especially when His plans don't look like what we expected.

By the end of a week like this, you might be feeling a little weighed down by all the words we've explored: evil, sin, iniquity, transgression.
