You can still join the challenge


Hey Reader,

If you’ve been thinking about joining the Thessalonians Challenge, this is your reminder that it’s not too late to begin. You can still jump in and catch up in just one week.

Each step is simple and intentional. Read the chapter, watch the teachings, and then use the study guide to go deeper and reflect on what God is revealing to you. It’s not about rushing through, but about creating space to truly engage with His Word.

We’re currently walking through 1 Thessalonians 5: The Need for Spiritual Readiness. If you missed it, click here to watch it before we continue the challenge tomorrow.

All of the teachings are available for you to go back and watch at your own pace, so you can start right where you are and move through the challenge in a way that feels steady and meaningful.

This is your invitation to step in. You don’t have to be behind. Just begin.

Most days feel scattered as I move from one responsibility to the next, until Friday finally arrives and everything slows down. And if I’m honest, that lack of rhythm hasn’t just impacted me. It’s affected how I show up in every area of my life. Maybe you know that feeling too. You’re doing what needs to be done. You’re...

Hey Reader, Today is Good Friday. This weekend carries a weight that doesn't come around often — and I don't want to rush past it. Lately, I've been reading through Leviticus, and I've found myself loving it more than I expected. Not because it's easy, but because it gives language and structure to what Jesus ultimately fulfilled. Especially in Leviticus 23, where God establishes appointed festivals for His people — sacred rhythms of remembrance. These weren't random celebrations. They were...
