BIG IDEA: God doesn't just call you FORWARD; He gives you the POWER to follow Him. Reading: Ephesians 3:16-20 “That according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being... that you may... know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work withi

BIG IDEA: Getting UNSTUCK isn't ultimately about fixing yourself; it's about FOLLOWING JESUS. Reading: Matthew 16:24-25 “Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.’” Devotional: Jesus never told His disciples to create a better version of their old lives. He simply said, “Follow Me.” Following Je

BIG IDEA: Your PAST may explain where you've been, but it doesn't have to determine where you're GOING. Reading: Philippians 3:13-14 “But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal...” Devotional: Paul had a past. Before following Jesus, he persecuted Christians and helped imprison believers. He couldn't erase those memories. So when Paul talks about “forgetting what lies behind,” he isn't talking abo

BIG IDEA: Faith doesn't deny the GIANTS; it believes GOD is GREATER. Reading: Numbers 14:8-9 “If the Lord delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us... Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not fear the people of the land... the Lord is with us; do not fear them.” Devotional: Twelve spies saw the same land. They saw the same fortified cities. They saw the same powerful enemies. They saw the same giants. But they didn't see them the same way.

BIG IDEA: An OBSTACLE doesn't mean God has stopped LEADING. Reading: Exodus 14:13-14 “And Moses said to the people, ‘Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord... The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.’” Devotional: Israel followed God directly to the Red Sea. Water was in front of them. Pharaoh's army was behind them. From their perspective, there was nowhere to go. But the Red Sea wasn't evidence that God had abandoned them. God knew

BIG IDEA: Sometimes we stay STUCK because the FAMILIAR feels safer than the UNKNOWN. Reading: Exodus 14:11-12 “They said to Moses, ‘Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness?... For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.’” Devotional: Israel wanted freedom until freedom became frightening. When they saw the Red Sea ahead and Pharaoh's army behind, suddenly Egypt didn't s
