The Christmas season might be nearing the end, but the story didn’t end at the manger. This week, we’re looking at what the birth of Jesus means for our identity, our peace, and our everyday lives long after the decorations come down.

The Christmas story is full of very human reactions to the news of Jesus—questions, doubt, joy, surrender, and even resistance. This week’s post looks at how Mary, Joseph, Zechariah, and others responded… and what their stories reveal about how we respond to Jesus today.

We tend to start the Christmas story in Bethlehem, but the real beginning goes all the way back to the moment brokenness entered the world. If this season feels heavy or a little cracked around the edges, this week’s reflection might be exactly what you need—a reminder that God has been working a redemption plan from the very beginning… and He’s not finished with your story either.

What do you do when you feel stuck and don’t know what comes next? Whether you’re overthinking every option or just want to run from the tension, this devotional is for you. Let’s talk about the kind of peace that doesn’t depend on having all the answers—and the kind of next step that leads you closer to God, even when it doesn’t make sense yet.

Life’s loud, messy, and full of things demanding your attention—but rest was never meant to be optional. From creation to Jesus’ own rhythms, God made rest sacred. Here’s why it still matters (and how to start making space for it again).

Ever felt certain about what God’s asking—but completely unsure how to move forward? This week’s post is for the moments when obedience feels scary, timing feels unclear, and faith feels like a free fall.

When God feels quiet, it’s easy to assume something’s wrong—that you missed a sign or fell out of step. But what if His silence isn’t absence at all? This week’s reflection looks at how God uses the quiet to shape, strengthen, and lead us—one faithful step at a time.

When the world feels loud and divided, it’s easy to forget what Jesus said matters most. This week’s reflection isn’t about taking sides—it’s about laying them down. Before we pick up another argument, maybe we need to remember the one thing that changes everything: love.
