When we look around our church or sit in the comfort of our homes, it is easy to feel a profound sense of gratitude for the safety, warmth, and community we enjoy. As people of faith, our hearts naturally long to extend that security to the vulnerable—especially to the children in our own neighborhoods who desperately need a safe place to land. Yet, when we consider the world of foster care, it can easily feel overwhelming, complicated, and entangled in bureaucratic systems that seem entirely distant from our everyday lives. Before we can step into answering the call to care for these children, we must pause and look at the whole picture with fresh eyes, beginning with the individuals tasked with navigating these heavy spaces every single day.

In public discussions about foster care, the Department of Children’s Services is frequently cast as the villain. This stigma is so pervasive that when you visit a local DCS office, the caseworkers themselves are often deeply moved by simple expressions of kindness. It is not uncommon to hear them say, “Thanks for not hating us”, or “Thank you for acknowledging our work. Most people only notice us when they want to criticize.” Sadly, that heavy reputation weighs constantly on the people on the front lines.

It is remarkably easy to pass judgment from a distance, or to assume we could do a better job when we aren’t immersed in the daily complexities of the work. I am guilty of this myself when it comes to local road construction; part of me genuinely believes I could schedule those projects more efficiently, knowing full well I have never had to face the actual reality of doing so. A similar dynamic applies when outsiders judge how the Indiana Department of Children’s Services supports fragile families.

The closer I have become to the real people working in this field, the more my compassion has grown. The more caseworkers I get to know, the more I see individuals doing the very best they can with the limited resources they have. They hold an incredibly heavy burden. They witness heartbreaking situations, fully acknowledging that removing a child from a home inflicts profound trauma. They live and work within an agonizing tension: knowing that to halt a long-term cycle of abuse or neglect, they must make an immediate decision that causes temporary heartbreak. They feel that tension every single day.

The foster care system is broken. I do not believe anyone who works within or interacts with the system would say otherwise. But brokenness is a familiar ache on this earth; we are broken people living in a fractured world. As followers of Christ, however, we are not called to retreat from brokenness. We are called to engage it.

We have an open secret in the Church. Jesus explicitly told His people to copy His footsteps. He commanded us to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39) and to “go and make disciples” (Matthew 28:19). The beautiful truth is that foster care is a vital mission field right here in our own backyard. You don’t need a passport or a plane ticket to step onto this mission trip. Through our ministries at Pathway Community Church, specifically, True Vine (adoption, foster care, family preservation), we are stepping into this space all the time.

We want to invite you into this journey with us. Whether you are called to open your home as a foster parent, wrap around a foster family with meals and prayers, or simply show up at a local DCS office with encouragement for a weary caseworker, there is a place for you. Let us stop looking at the system from a distance and start engaging it with the radical, transformative love of Jesus. Will you take this step onto the mission field with us?

NOW WHAT?

For 21 days, we’ve intentionally made space to seek God together. We’ve prayed, spent time in Scripture, listened, and set some things aside so we could give more of our attention to him.

But the goal was never simply to make it through 21 Days.

So, now what?

Before we move back into our normal rhythms, let’s take some time to reflect:

• What has God been showing me about himself (or about my own heart) during these 21 Days?

• Where is God asking me to trust him more? Is there something he is inviting me to surrender or do?

• What practice or rhythm from these 21 Days do I want to continue?
  
  

Maybe we found a time or place that helped us connect with God more consistently. Maybe fasting helped quiet distractions and focus our attention on him. Some of what we practiced during these 21 Days may be worth carrying with us. We might even consider making fasting a regular practice.

As we continue through Unlimited, let’s carry forward the posture with which we began: seeking God before we act and remaining open to what he wants to do in us and through us.

The 21 Days may be over. Our pursuit of God isn’t.

Day 21: More Than We Can Ask or Imagine

We live in a world that values what can be measured- such as wealth, time, and achievements. As a result, our prayers often reflect what seems possible, as we calculate outcomes or weigh resources within the limits of what we can see. But God’s Word reminds us that His power is not confined by our measurements and He doesn’t measure the way we do. He is able to do immeasurably more—beyond what we ask, and even beyond what we can dream and imagine.

This truth is not distant—it is personal. Paul reminds us that God’s power is at work within us. We may feel limited by what we can see, yet the Holy Spirit, the same power that raised Christ, is working in and through us (Acts 1:8). Our weakness does not hinder Him; in fact, it reveals His strength. It is amazing to consider that our boldest prayers are only a mere glimpse of what He can do.

In one particularly trying season for our family, we were faced with a situation that seemed impossible. Sally was 8 months pregnant and needed a new job. With low expectations (who would be willing to hire a very pregnant woman?!), we prayed. God not only provided a job, but it was better than what we asked for! Two weeks after she started her new job, our daughter was born. This job was just what our family needed in this season, and we marveled at how God did not limit his goodness to the small prayers we prayed.

So let us pray bigger. Let us trust His goodness enough to bring Him impossible requests, knowing He delights to answer in ways that magnify His glory. May our prayers rise not from what we can measure, but from faith and trust in the limitless God who hears us and loves us.

Prayer

God, we believe you when you say you can do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine. Forgive us for the times we pray small prayers because our faith is small, and instead let our hearts be reminded of your great faithfulness to us. You have never failed us or left us, just as your word promises. May we ask for great things in your name, with a faith that can move mountains, and to You be the glory, God, throughout all generations, for ever and ever, amen!

Day 20: Be Anxious for Nothing

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. –Philippians 4:6-7

We welcomed Tatum Joy into the world in July of 2024. As is the case for most new parents, a million questions, fears and anxieties co-existed in our minds with an immeasurable amount of joy and excitement. Over and over, we tried to remind ourselves: no matter what, God will carry us through.

Fast forward 6 months, we noticed she had a few patches of dry skin that resulted in minor scratching at the source. Sparse patches quickly spread to an all over presence on her body. As the presence of patches heavily increased, so did the severity of her scratching. She was tearing her skin apart and her risk of infection was continually getting worse. We quickly realized our sweet girl had a serious eczema diagnosis, and we had exhausted every home remedy, topical treatment, and recommended tactic imaginable. Nothing was helping. Our hope of “No matter what, God will carry us through” quickly shifted into a self-reliance of “just make it through,” as everyday activities became a fight to keep her from creating new wounds and reopening healing ones. We spent months anxiously praying for God to show up.

Appointment after appointment led us to a specialist in Illinois, where we felt the Lord had finally given us a path towards healing. It turns out, the root cause ran deep, and what we saw on the surface was simply a by-product of an internal problem. Just as we prayed for, we witnessed God show up at our very first appointment in extremely tangible ways. We had hope once again! We implemented the new plan of treatment and began to see slight improvement, and then… we forgot about Him. Our fierce dependence and daily prayers for healing just disappeared.

It wasn’t until she experienced regressions throughout the treatment process that we realized where we had placed our peace. We demanded healing on our terms more than the peace that God promises to provide amidst it. Throughout this entire battle, we desired for our hurt to be understood by others more than we desired God. We wanted a friend to understand this isn’t “just some scratching”, or a doctor to finally tell us they had all the answers.

Meanwhile, our God in Heaven completely understood us. He waited so patiently for us to surrender Tatum’s life back to Him. We are so thankful for a God that draws us back to Himself. He loves Tatum more than we ever could and welcomes us to exchange our anxiety for His perfect peace through prayer. Similar to this eczema journey, we’ve learned that God desires for us to open our hearts to Him to go beyond the surface and transform us from the inside out.
 
Prayer

God, as our hearts seek answers to the questions we face daily, I ask that you would draw us to your truth. In moments of uncertainty, trials, or suffering, replace our anxiousness with thanksgiving and deeper intimacy with you. In moments of plenty and moments of calm when we are tempted to forget you, fill our hearts with rejoicing in your name over and over again. In all circumstances, may we humbly approach you with a heart ready to be transformed. Your will be done, Father. Amen.

Day 19: Enter His Gates with Thanks
 
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. –Psalm 100:4-5

Thankfulness is Worship

Thankfulness to God honors and acknowledges Him as the Giver of every good and perfect gift.

A few years ago, I was feeling pretty low. During my reading, I stumbled upon an article about being thankful and the associated benefits. Here are just a few of the benefits: increased happiness, reduced stress, enhanced self-esteem, better sleep, stronger relationships, and improved brain function. So, I thought to myself, “Why not give it a try?” I looked up and thanked God for the roof over my head. I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and thanked God for water on demand, especially hot water. Then, I went to my closet and looked at all the different clothes that God has blessed me with and thanked God. Finally, I walked to our kitchen and opened our pantry to see all kinds of food, and I thanked God. Just the simple act of being thankful lifted my spirits.

Being thankful does not come naturally to me, but I have learned to practice the habitude of gratitude. When I wake up, I think of three things to be thankful for. Before I go to bed, I think of three things to be thankful for. The old saying is true. “If you will pause to think, you will find reason to thank.” Give it a try!

Prayer

Lord, you have been so, so, generous to me. Help me to take time every day to thank you for all of your blessings that are too numerous to count. And to daily be thankful for your generosity of sending your One and Only Son as a sacrifice for me so that I can have an everlasting relationship with you.

Day 18: Give and It Will Be Given to You
 
Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.” –Mark 12:41-44

In Mark 12:41-44, Jesus illustrates the power of giving to his disciples. There are many wealthy people putting in some of their riches, which looks like a lot. Then, there is a poor widow who puts in a few small coins. While this looks insignificant, it is everything she has. Jesus sees her sacrifice and takes time to point it out. I think what Jesus is showing here is her willingness to give up everything. She is giving the control over to God, trusting in him to provide for her more than money can. What a beautiful, but very hard concept for us to grasp.

God tells us to put no other idols before him. I think many of us don’t even realize that we put comfort and control of our money over what God really wants for our lives. He wants us to give up control, trust in him to provide for us, and to put him and his kingdom as the focus of our lives, in every aspect. When it comes to giving of our money, and I think time too, we need to ask ourselves if we are really putting God and his kingdom first? Are we trusting God more than we trust what our money gives us? Are we giving to look good and check a box, or is it an outpouring from our hearts?

When we give as God wants us to, it is a blessing to our lives, to those around us, and changes who we are by what we are holding most dear. Let God transform our hearts to put him above all else.

Prayer

Dear God, we thank you for all provisions and blessings we have received. Everything good comes from you. We ask that you can use all we have for the good of your kingdom. Show us how we can give generously of our money, talents, gifts, time to honor you. Through your spirit give us the courage of the giving widow to be able to show your love to others through giving. Amen.

Day 17: Every Good Gift

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. – James 1:17

Two years ago, my heart was troubled over how I was managing our family finances. From a world standard I was saving and investing regularly, I had paid off consumer debt and I gave consistently to the church and other non-profit organizations. I began studying to become a Certified Kingdom Advisor® so that I could make available to client’s biblical advice and faith-based investments. However, something was off.

As I studied the scriptures, I recognized I was not grateful. You see, God had worked to create the heavens, the earth as well as man and woman. Six times He saw that it was good. Before He rested from His work, He said “it was very good.”

Today’s verse reminds us that all good things in our lives originate from God. Whether it is the joy of a beautiful sunrise, the talents we use daily, our finances or a moment of peace amid chaos, these blessings are gifts from our Heavenly Father. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our routines, challenges, or pursuits that we forget to acknowledge the source of these blessings. Taking time to recognize God as the giver of every good gift helps us develop gratitude.

It turns our focus away from ourselves and outward to His generosity and love. When we intentionally count our blessings and thank God for each one, our hearts become more open to His presence. Gratitude shifts our perspective, filling us with contentment and joy, no matter the circumstances. Remember, nothing good happens by chance or solely through our efforts. It is God's goodness and grace that produce the blessings we enjoy.

I am taking time today to count God’s generosity and blessings today. Will you join me? As you go through your day, pause and thank God for His abundant gifts—the big and small. Ask God to give you the heart of thankfulness and generosity. In doing so, you’ll deepen your relationship with Him and grow in recognizing His ongoing goodness around you.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for every good gift You have poured into my life. I praise you for proving for me. I recognize that all blessings—my talents, peace, joy, and provision— come from You. My Father, please forgive me of my sin. Help me turn away from the selfishness in my life. Help me to see Your hand in everything and to cultivate gratitude daily. Open my eyes to the ways You bless me and deepen my trust in Your goodness. May my heart always be thankful and my life a reflection of Your blessings. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Day 16: God Gave His Son

He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? –Romans 8:32

God’s Ultimate Gift

God held nothing back – not even His Son. Challenged to search myself for what I may be holding back from Him, I realize that despite His goodness and repetitive faithfulness, my biggest struggle has always been control. For decades, I have made the joke that the title Controller has been on several of my business cards, so I am just right where I should be. However, past the jokes and deeper into the heart of it, the heavier word is fear. I hide my fear with control. In a controlled environment, I can count the cost and brace for impact. I have to be honest before Him in the secret place where no one else can enter, that I am terrified of the free fall into His plan sometimes. I know He can say no. I know His greater plan won’t always align with preserving those I love, just the way that I would, given my own plan. Romans 8:31 says, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” Even more, what can be against us? While I might have to keep surrendering this fear until I die, I also remember His greater sacrifice and surrender that gave us the generous filling of the Holy Spirit as we wait in the “now” phase of eternity to be united with Him in heaven soon.

As you reflect on the cross, what can you PRAISE Him for? What are you holding back from Him that you need to REPENT of? ASK Him to show you, if you are not sure. Then YIELD to Him and release it to walk in greater freedom. If you have been walking in the unknown with fear as your companion or are resisting a forced free fall into His arms, I would encourage you to listen to the song ‘Flowers’, by Samantha Ebert.

Prayer

With grateful hearts, we thank You that the Holy Spirit prays through us and aligns our will with Yours and that we are alive unto You through Christ Jesus, our Lord (Romans 6:11). You are a good God, and your plan is always the right plan. We have a rich reward with You in heaven.

THRIVE THOUGHT
How to Be Rich

Most of us know someone who seems richer than we are. That is why wealth can be deceptive. We often compare ourselves upward and fail to recognize the blessings God has already placed in our hands. The idea "it's not what you have, it's what you do with what you have," points us back to the biblical principle found in 1 Timothy 6.

“Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.” 1 Timothy 6:17–19 (NIV)

The goal is not guilt but stewardship. God provides resources so His people can become channels of blessing. When as believers, we use our wealth for God's purposes, we invest in things that will outlast our earthly lives.

Generosity is a tangible expression of gratitude and trust. When we share our resources, we acknowledge that everything we have ultimately belongs to Him.

Today, instead of asking, "How much more do I need?" ask, "How can I use what God has already given me to bless someone else?" The richest people in God's kingdom are not those who possess the most, but those who give the most of themselves for the benefit of others.

Day 15: Abounding in Grace

And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. –2 Corinthians 9:8

God Provides Abundantly

I received an email that my kindergartener’s lunch account was low with greater frequency last school year than that of her older brother. When I asked my daughter if she was getting extra food, she said she liked to visit the snack table to share with her friends. With the true faith of a child, she knew she could be generous because her lunch account would never run out!

What kind of giver are we to be? What’s your motivation for giving? In the beginning verses of 2 Corinthians chapter 9, Paul tells the believers they can make the choice in their heart to either give “sparingly” or give “generously”. The motivation to give can either be done “cheerfully” or “reluctantly or under compulsion.”

Being a cheerful giver sounds nice, but where does it fit in with our reality? Our financial situation? Our hardships? While our present situation can sometimes feel bleak and very much in-your-face, the beauty of scripture is its design to pull us into the mind of God who isn’t limited by time or resources or the ability to see the bigger eternal picture. His word says He is able to bless us abundantly! What is the scope of this abundance? It says in all things! And when can He do this? At all times!  We can delight in giving generously to others because of God’s trustworthiness and His promise to make us abound in every good work.

Praise God that he enriches us in every good way to be generous. He is worthy of glory and deserves all thanksgiving!

Prayer

God, thank you for your generosity towards us that we might delight in sowing generously towards others. We trust you to meet our needs. You are a good father able to bless us abundantly in all things and in all times. We pray that as we love others through giving of our resources, that you would guide our hearts and that you would receive the glory.

Day 14: Serve One Another
 
Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. –1 Peter 4:9-10

Generous Service
 
Everything that we are and all that we have is a result of God’s grace. It is because of God’s abundant grace that you and I get to be here today. Considering this grace, Peter encourages all of us to steward the gift of God’s grace for the benefit of others. Grace is given not only for us to receive and enjoy but also for us to pour out to others. In our passage Peter specifically instructs us to use God’s grace to serve others around us.

In the same way that God gave of Himself and served us, we are invited to do that same thing for others. God’s grace enables us to serve others in a variety of different ways. There are ways that only you can serve others because of the specific gifts God has given you through His grace.

Where might God be inviting you to steward His grace? In your family? At your work? With your friends? It can genuinely be as simple as having an intentional conversation with a co-worker or cleaning around the house for your spouse. But maybe for you it is deeper than that. For you maybe it looks like serving someone you don’t like, or forgiving someone who has hurt you, or sharing the gospel with someone you know needs it. Regardless of the outcome of these actions, when any of these things are done out of a response to God’s grace, it is an act of worship and devotion to the Lord. These actions echo for eternity for as God says in Hebrews 6:10, “…He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them.”

Prayer
 
Father, we thank you for the grace you have shown us and the grace you continually give us. Would you now lead us to serve those who are right around us. Would you give us your eyes and your heart as we love and serve your people today in whatever way you lead us to. Amen.

Day 13: Forgive One Another
 
Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. –Colossians 3:13

Do you ever feel like you have this innate purpose to seek justice in wrongs of this world? It may be in simple things, like when there’s a mistake on your coffee order, or you’re treated rudely by a store employee. Or maybe in life-shattering situations, where you’ve been deeply wounded or have lost someone at the hands of choices made by another. Maybe it’s just me, but something rises up in me that feels the need to seek justice, and right the wrongs. In 2019, our family was rocked by a wrongdoing, when our young boys watched me be physically assaulted by three young men. While of course we are thankful that legal justice was served to these individuals for the choices they made, I was presented with the opportunity of how I’d respond to them, when I got to face them again. Would I tell them how wrong they were? How much hurt their actions caused? How glad I was that they were caught/sentenced?

God is calling us to a very different response in Colossians 3:13. He is reminding us that there is just one judge, just one who holds the place of holding us accountable to our choices. The truth is, we weren’t created to bear the weight that unforgiveness brings. Resentment, bitterness, obsession, anger, vengeance…These grow with a fury wherever we allow them to take root. But extending GRACE…choosing to offer forgiveness…while the world may want us to believe this is a response of weakness, there is immense power when we forgive.

Months after the assault, God gave me the surreal opportunity to look each of these 3 young men in the eyes at their sentencing hearings, and make a victim impact statement. While I was incredibly nervous, I can’t describe the power and tenderness of those moments. The courtroom was silent, and the chance to use my voice to speak forgiveness over them shook my spirit. “There is a God who loves you more than you’ll ever know, and He has a plan and purpose for your life.” This isn’t what they expected to hear from me, and it was an honor for God to use me in sharing this truth.

Let’s also set one thing straight: Forgiveness is NOT declaring that what someone did was ok. Not at all. Instead, it’s choosing to remove continued judgment from someone for their actions. Remember the end of that verse in Colossians? “Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” God never said our sin was ok, but He said we are forgiven in spite of our sin, because of Jesus.

When we choose to forgive, we not only set ourselves free from clinging to the wrongs we’ve experienced, but we become a true example of Christ to the one who’s hearing us say, “I forgive you”. We have a unique way to open a door for others to see how much Jesus really loves them, and how he offers them open arms of forgiveness. We certainly aren’t worthy to receive the gift of forgiveness that the Lord offers us, and what an honor to have the chance to share a glimpse of His grace with others.

Prayer

Lord, we need to be reminded that You are so much bigger than the wrongs in this world. Help us to see others through your eyes, and to lay down the burden of unforgiveness. We pray for strength to breathe the words, “I forgive you”, and for you to open the hearts of those who hear this. Thank you for the forgiveness you offer us through Jesus and help us to share your heart with those around us.

Day 12: Healing Through Prayer

Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. –James 5:16

Prayer is one of the most powerful tools we have as believers. Scripture assures us that God listens and responds when we pray with faith, compassion, and humility, not only for ourselves, but especially when we intercede for others. James 5:16 calls us to confess and pray for one another, promising healing and effectiveness in our prayers when they come from a sincere heart. Prayer moves mountains, heals hearts, and unites believers.

Prayer is a divine invitation to partner with God in bringing hope, restoration, and healing to those around us. James 5:16 reminds us of the incredible power that lies in interceding for others. It’s not just about praying for us; it's about standing in the gap for others, believing that God’s power can bring healing—spiritually, emotionally, and physically.

Throughout the Bible, we see God's heart for healing and restoration. Jesus himself modeled intercession, by praying for others and healing many (Matthew 14:14). When we shift our focus from our own needs to the needs of others, something beautiful happens. In Job 42:10, the Bible says, “After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before.” That means not only do we bless those we pray for, but God also works in our hearts, often healing us in the process. This is the mystery and miracle of intercessory prayer.

Today, shift your focus from your own needs, and take time to pray deeply over someone's burden—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. Your prayer may be the lifeline they desperately need. So, please, pray and believe God on their behalf. In that faithful act of intercession, healing flows, not just to them, but also to you. As you do, remember Philippians 4:6, “Do not be anxious about anything… but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” You know, God honors selfless, faith-filled prayers, and brings healing in His perfect way and timing.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, today I lift up those around me who need healing before you. You are the great physician, and nothing is beyond your reach. Touch their bodies, calm their minds, and mend their hearts. I pray that you heal the brokenhearted and restore what has been lost. Help me to love and intercede for others as you so graciously do.

Day 11: Encourage One Another

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching. –Hebrews 10:24-25

In a world that increasingly values independence and self-sufficiency, today's verses from Hebrews remind us that a life of faith was never meant to be walked alone. These few verses call us to an intentional life of community, a life marked by mutual encouragement, shared burdens, and love expressed through simple and at times very complex activities and actions.

“Let us consider…” -this phrase implies thoughtfulness and deliberate care. We’re not just called to be present with one another, but to be purposeful in how we motivate each other to live out our faith. Whether through a kind word, a timely prayer, or in the simple act of just showing up, we have a multitude of opportunities to spur one another toward love and good deeds with our encouragement.

Verse 25 presents a challenge that resonates deeply today: the temptation to withdraw ourselves from intentional community. Whether due to busyness, disappointment, or just plain complacency, it's easy to drift from fellowship. The Apostle warns against “giving up meeting together,” not out of obligation, but because we need each other as we await Christ’s return in our broken world.

The early Church faced persecution, isolation, and fear, yet they gathered regularly, strengthening each other in faith. We, too, need that same kind of encouragement. Sunday worship, small groups, coffee with a friend—these are more than just social routines. They are spiritual growth lifelines and reminders of God’s love, expressed through His people.

Today, ask yourself who you are being called to encourage, to remain in the body of Christ, the Church. By now the Lord has put someone in your heart in need of encouragement. Don't delay, give them a call, drop them a text, reach out however you can to offer a word of encouragement and remind them they are loved.

Prayer
 
Lord in your mercy hear our prayer as we remember that we have been called into community with one another. Guide us to purposeful prayer and action to encourage and uphold those you have given us for your mercy and love. Our world, our busyness, even our own agendas move us toward isolation from you and one another. Keep our hearts open to you and those around us. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.

Day 10: Be Patient With One Another
 
with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love… – Ephesians 4:2 (NKJV)

Unity Through Humility

My prayer is that we, as mankind, learn to extend to one another what we all desire for ourselves—grace.

Grace affords people the opportunity to make mistakes and learn from them. Grace recognizes that none of us has everything figured out and that all of us are still growing. When we extend grace to one another, we create room for patience, forgiveness, understanding, and unity.

Paul teaches us in Ephesians 4:2 that we are to walk with humility, gentleness, patience, and love. Unity does not mean that we will always agree. It does not mean that people will never disappoint us, offend us, or make mistakes. Unity means that even when those moments come, we choose not to allow them to destroy our love for one another.

We receive grace from our Heavenly Father every day. God continually gives us opportunities to grow, change, repent, and become better. If our Heavenly Father extends that kind of grace toward us, surely we can extend grace toward one another.

Sometimes we want people to be patient with our weaknesses while becoming frustrated with theirs. We want understanding when we make a mistake but can quickly judge someone else when they make one. Humility reminds us that we all need grace.
The grace I desire for myself should be the grace I am willing to extend to someone else.

Patience is a fruit of humility. Patience is the willingness to extend grace instead of judgment. In a world of quick tempers, quick responses, and people who are easily offended, patience becomes a powerful witness of the love of Christ. Being patient does not mean ignoring wrong behavior or pretending that something did not hurt. It means refusing to allow frustration, anger, or offense to control how we treat another person.

Sometimes patience requires us to remember how patient God has been with us.

Today, invite God to soften your heart toward someone you find difficult. Before judging them, remember that they may be growing through something you cannot see. Before responding in anger, remember the grace God has extended toward you. Unity grows when humility replaces pride, patience replaces frustration, and grace replaces judgment.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for the grace You extend toward us every day. Teach us to give to others the same patience, mercy, and grace that we desire for ourselves. Help us to walk in humility, gentleness, and love. When we are frustrated with others, remind us of how patient You have been with us. Soften our hearts toward those we find difficult and help us become instruments of unity rather than division. May our patience with one another be a witness of Your love and grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Today’s Challenge: Give someone the grace today that you would want them to give you.

Day 9: Bear One Another’s Burdens

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. –Galatians 6:2

In March of 2025, we welcomed our sweet boy into this world. He was in my arms for moments before being rushed to the NICU. Over the next month, he would spend a total of twenty-two days in the hospital. In April, he underwent open-heart surgery to fix the numerous things wrong with his heart.

Though this was the scariest and most challenging time in my life, I can look back and realize how blessed we were. We had so many friends, family, and coworkers who helped carry the burden. Family watched our other children so we could be with our son, friends sent meals and gifts, and coworkers donated sick time so we could remain together, focused on our son’s recovery. Countless people prayed every day for our son’s recovery.

In Galatians 6:2, Paul calls believers to “carry each other’s burdens.” This isn’t just a suggestion; it is a reflection of Christ’s heart. Jesus bore the ultimate burden on the cross. Now, we are to mirror His love by walking alongside others.

Carrying another’s burden doesn’t mean we are solving their problems. Sometimes it means praying for them, offering a shoulder to cry on, meeting a tangible need, or simply being present. Who needs your help today? A simple presence can reveal the heart of God.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for being with us every moment of every day. Thank you for the people you have put in our lives to lift us up, and the people you are calling us to lift up. Please open our eyes to the needs around us. Give us a heart ready to serve, comfort, and love others as You love us. Amen.

Day 8: Devotion in Community

Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. – Romans 12:10

Therefore, if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. – Philippians 2:1-2

For approximately 9 years we have had the privilege of working alongside of an awesome team of friends, helping couples with their marriages through a ministry at Pathway called Reengage. Our primary focus is pointing people toward Christ and loving them and encouraging each of them as they build community with other couples working to improve their marriage. We love seeing what God is doing to restore, redeem and renew marriages. It's not what we do, it's being willing to be used by God and watch what He can do!

One way in which we are used by God is praying for these couples each week. That is something we can all do for the body of Christ, is lift each other up in prayer. This is one way we can show our love for our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Prayer

Father, thank you for the ability to come to You with our prayers. Give us a heart for our brothers and sisters. Help us to see their needs and be the hands and feet of Jesus. We pray for a willingness to become a part of a community of believers, by showing love and compassion to the people around us. In Jesus name, Amen.

Day 7: How Will They Hear?

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”–Romans 10:13-15

Every year, the Pathway youth come to Inasmuch for their mission trip, Week of Hope. Three years ago, a young man named Alex came to IAM for the first time. He met with clients, heard their stories, shared Jesus, and prayed for them. He became a regular and was so loved by all of us and our clients! He would also bring his friends and family to serve at IAM.

One Friday morning in the spring of his senior year, he had a day off from school. Instead of sleeping in, he got up to come to IAM to serve. The Sunday before he had heard a sermon about listening to the Holy Spirit and stepping out in faith to share Jesus. The day he came to IAM, we had nobody to work in the food pantry, so Alex said he would do it. A young woman named Katie, came to IAM for the first time. Katie had struggled with all kinds of issues in her life. She was not much older than Alex. She was in a recovery house in Fort Wayne. She came downstairs with a volunteer and was standing outside our food pantry waiting on her food. Alex heard the Holy Spirit, and he stepped out in faith and asked this woman if he could pray for her. She said yes so Alex sat down next to her and began to pray. She collected her food and left.

A few days later, I saw Katie; she grabbed my hands and asked if I knew that Alex had prayed for her. She said for the first time in her life she saw who God was; She said, “He is not an angry old man who hates me and is punishing me. He loves me. I felt it when Alex prayed.” Alex stepped out in faith and was a goer, and in an instant changed a woman’s life and heart. He said yes.

Prayer

Oh Lord Jesus, help all of us to have the sensitivity of Alex to hear the Holy Spirit when He says go, to not be afraid to share your Love and who you are. Help us to never back away because we are not trained or prepared, but just be ready at any moment, no matter where we are. Amen.

Day 6: Let the Nations Praise You

May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us—so that your ways may be known on earth; your salvation among all nations. –Psalm 67:1-2

Patryk joined one of our choirs just a few weeks before the tour. We were heading to Rzeszów, Poland to help a church launch a new music outreach. On the tour Patryk encountered God. A life-changing moment. It wasn’t from preaching. It wasn’t from a track someone handed out. It wasn’t from hearing someone’s testimony.

As with typical Poles, Patryk was familiar with all the basics of faith. But he struggled to understand the truth clouded by all of the rituals and ancient church traditions.

Patryk’s God-encounter happened in a simple, unexpected way. One evening of the tour we met in the lobby to sing and pray. When Patryk heard the lyrics “You’re a good, good Father and I am loved by you,” his heart broke. Could this God he’d always heard about be a Father? If so, a good one? Patryk knew what his earthly father had done. Abandoning him and his mom made Patryk convinced that fathers were anything but good. But this song, and the group of students singing it, made him long for a heavenly Father who was both loving and good.

During that week of the tour, Patryk prayed with one of the leaders and embarked on his journey to get to know his new heavenly Father. Eight years later, Patryk is serving in his local church, running a youth ministry, engaged to be married, and having a big impact for God’s kingdom in Poland.

God is purposeful in what he does. He shines his face, extends graciousness, and blesses people for a reason. He does this so that the recipients of his love proclaim his saving heart and upside-down kingdom to everyone around them. Even to the ends of the earth.

Prayer

God, we pray that your face and your ways would become visible. There are far too many people on the planet that do not know and understand who you are. And we want to see a change. From New Zealand to Brazil, from Mozambique to Poland, shine forth. Show your love and power. Would you transform one more person today? And then another. And then another. Until your name is known among all the nations. Amen!

Day 5: Every Nation & Tongue

After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, people, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,  and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"  –Revelation 7:9-10

A Vision of Heaven

In my country, Tanzania, we have over 120 ethnic groups that make our country to be unique. I know there some other African countries that have the same. Imagine standing before the Lord, the King of Kings, with people from different backgrounds! We can’t wait for that day! Here are a few things to reflect on from this passage:

1. Great multitude – all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues

2. Clothed with white robes
3. Palm branches
This use of palm branches was part of the celebration and worship, symbolizing joy and thanksgiving. It is God’s will that we will be filled with joy and give him thanks for all that He has done in our lives.

As we continue to pray let us remind ourselves that we are loved by God, known and protected. For me, working in Compassion International, it is a gift to see life transformation from individuals to entire communities—spiritually, physically, cognitively, and socially. Working with churches all over the world, I have discovered the church is the backbone because we are church drive. So, our prayer today is for diversity and unity in the church.

Prayer
 
Our Heavenly Father, we just want to thank you for the great opportunity you have given us to reflect on your word. Thank you because you know our lives, the way we live and our names. Thank you because you are going to help us to be able to live together in unity and harmony in your church. Thank you, Jesus, because you are going to help us to know more of you and to dwell in your presence always as we anticipate that the biggest day to com, when all the nations and tribes and people will gather together and lift up your holy name.  Thank you because you are going to be with us for the rest of the days, in the mighty name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.

Day 4: Power to Witness

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. – Acts 1:8

God knows that in order for us to live lives of eternal significance, particularly in our current broken world, we need a comforter, and helper, in the form of the Holy Spirit.

And yet, scripture also shows us that, upon receiving the anointing of the Holy Spirit, Jesus was immediately thereafter led into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. In a similar fashion, shortly after Pentecost the Apostles were arrested, imprisoned, and beaten.
So, while the Holy Spirit is our comforter, that does not mean He always leads us into comfortable places. In fact, it is precisely because we have direct and eternal access to the Holy Spirit that God will often call us out of our comfort zones.

For many of us, spaces that are often most uncomfortable are those where we are called to testify to others about the life change that Jesus has brought forth in our own lives.
Be encouraged, dear friend. The same Holy Spirit that is spoken of in Genesis 1:2 as being present from the very beginning, is the same Holy Spirit that was present at the baptism of Jesus and the outset of his ministry, which is the same Holy Spirit that was present at Pentecost and the commencement of the Apostles ministry.

So, we are never alone; and through the person of the Holy Spirit, we have access to a power that is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. A power that is global yet personal. A power that is both life giving and life altering. A power that intercedes on our behalf, in our homes, our cities, our country and our world. As we testify to God’s goodness, let us be reminded that greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, as we go about our daily lives in this world that often seems so far from You, remind us of the power we have in the Holy Spirit to rightfully and courageously proclaim, to anyone that we may encounter, that all who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. Give us the words and the courage to boldly proclaim the good news of the gospel, of which we are all witnesses. Amen.

Day 3: The Great Commission

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age." –Matthew 28:18-20

Jesus Has Risen!

With His parting words, Jesus says, "Go!" Go to everyone, all nations, and show them how to be His followers. Show them that there is purpose, there is hope.

This was not a goodbye speech, but a battle cry—a wake-up call. His disciples, who had been sidelined, hiding, and afraid, were now charged with going and continuing what Jesus started. Not by themselves, but with the promise that no matter where they went, He was with them. He had given them His authority to go!

Jesus’ words on that day ring true for us today as well. No matter if you have been sidelined in doubt, needing an extra burst of faith, Jesus’ words to us are: By my authority, go—show a lost world what purpose looks like. Show those hurting that the Creator of heaven and earth loved them enough to send someone to help. Know that whether you walk across the street to your neighbor or fly to the ends of the earth, Jesus is with you—always!

Today, take a minute and ask God this simple question: Who do you want me to go to? Where can you use my talents and treasures to show people your goodness and the plan you have for them?

Prayer

Jesus, today I am yours! I surrender all I have to you. Please show me how I can go and make disciples. Please give me the courage to step out in faith knowing that you are always with me. Amen.

Day 2: Blessed to Be a Blessing
 
The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. –Genesis 12:1–3

When God called Abraham, He didn’t just bless him for his own sake; He blessed him so that others could be blessed through him. I love that picture, because it reminds me that the blessings in my life aren’t meant to stop with me. They’re meant to overflow into the lives of the people around me.

It’s easy to think blessings only look like money or big, dramatic moments. But I think about the little things, encouraging someone with a text message, taking time to listen, sharing what I already have, or showing up when it matters. Those things don’t always feel huge in the moment, but God can use them to make an impact that lasts way beyond what we see.
Living generationally means asking: How can the choices I make today ripple into tomorrow? How can my faith, my time, my giving, my love for others, point back to Him long after I’m gone?

The truth is, you and I are already blessed in so many ways. The challenge is choosing to hold those blessings with open hands and let God work through them.

Prayer
 
God, thank you for the ways you’ve blessed me. Don’t let me get stuck holding onto them just for myself. Show me today how I can give, serve, and love in ways that point others to you. Help me to think beyond today and invest in things that matter for eternity. Amen.

Day 1: God So Loved the World

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. –John 3:16

Many of us know John 3:16 as one of the most familiar verses in the Bible. But sometimes, in its familiarity, we overlook the depth of its truth—that God so loved the world.

I first memorized John 3:16 as a little girl and it’s been familiar to me for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a Christian home, and my parents raised me in a Bible-believing church. I went off to college, graduated, started a career. My life was fairly average and I imagine that I often overlooked the depth of who the world was that God so loved.
India and its daughters weren’t on my radar.

And yet, God took my ordinary path and began to align my heart with His. Graciously, He opened my eyes to realize that “the world” was far beyond my small view, and the need was greater than I knew, showing me that little girls in India were part of “the world” He loves. And He was calling me to love them too.

Serving in India now for more than 15 years has made John 3:16 come alive in ways I never expected. I’ve looked into the eyes of girls who were told their lives had no value. I’ve held baby girls who were nearly killed simply because they’re female. Yet, God’s Word declares they are seen by Him and precious to Him—so much so that He gave His only Son for them. Through Invisible Girl Project, I now have the privilege of showing His love to them.
But that’s just my story. God’s heart is not only for invisible girls in India. His heart is also for the poor, the overlooked, the forgotten…the lost and the unreached.

His heart is for the world.

Reflection Questions

How does God’s love for the world challenge you today? Where is God inviting you to align your heart with His? Could He be calling you to open your eyes to something you’ve never expected in the way you pray, or give, or serve, so that His love might be shown through you?

Prayer

Pray for the lost, the unreached, and the hurting. Ask the Lord to open hearts to the gospel, to bring hope where there is despair. Ask Him to give you His compassion for those who do not yet know Him.

HOW DO I GET STARTED?

Tomorrow we begin 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. If you’ve never fasted before or you’re still not sure what these 21 Days should look like for you, don’t overcomplicate it. Take some time today to pray and prepare.

1. DECIDE WHAT YOU WILL FAST.

Traditionally, fasting involves food. You might choose to fast from a particular food, one meal a day, or all food for a set period of time. You also might choose to step away from something else that regularly gets your time or attention—social media, streaming, games, shopping, or another habit.

Choose something that will create meaningful space in your life and regularly remind you to turn your attention toward God.

2. DECIDE WHAT YOU WILL DO WITH THE SPACE.

Giving up something is only part of fasting. Think about how you’ll intentionally use the time or attention you’re creating. Maybe you’ll pray during the lunch hour you normally spend eating, begin your morning with Scripture instead of your phone, or turn off the TV at night and spend some of that time with God.

3. MAKE IT SPECIFIC.

Rather than a vague “I’m going to spend less time on social media”, decide what that actually means. Delete the app for 21 days. Choose specific meals to fast. Decide when you'll pray or read each day's devotional.

A simple plan makes it easier to follow through when tomorrow comes.

4. REMEMBER THE PURPOSE.

This isn't about choosing the hardest fast or completing 21 Days perfectly. The goal is not the fast itself. The goal is to seek God. If you miss a day or your plan needs to change, just keep going.

BEFORE TOMORROW: Decide what you’ll set aside, how you’ll use the space it creates, and when you’ll make time each day to seek God.
