Deuteronomy 31:8 | God Goes Before You

You might not realize it in the moment, but hindsight has a way of revealing the faithfulness of God. Maybe you've walked through a tough season only to look back and realize—He had been going before you the entire time. In today’s devotional, you’ll be reminded that even when the road ahead feels uncertain, you're not walking it alone. God is already there—preparing the way, placing the right people, and holding your heart steady. Let this truth sink in today: God goes before you. “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Deuteronomy 31:8

Matthew 19:14 | He Welcomes You With Grace

When was the last time you came to God like a child—messy, honest, and unfiltered? Sometimes we forget that the grace that met us the first time we reached for Him is still here today. In this episode, we reflect on what it means to return to that childlike faith and let go of the pressure to have it all together. Let the words of Matthew 19:14 remind you: you’re still His child—and He’s still welcoming you in. “Let the little children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” Matthew 19:14
