wisdom of god (cbn devotional)

11/19/2023

During my early spiritual journey, I developed a deep desire to study the Bible and understand God’s teachings beyond my regular reading. I would enjoy hours studying His Word, ancient biblical times and languages, and modern-day applications of Scripture...

renewed strength (cbn devotional)

10/12/2023

Much like athletes of all levels of ability, I have had moments of triumph and difficulty during my fitness journey. Whether I am powerlifting and aiming to lift my heaviest weight ever or attempting a PR (personal record) during a long-distance running race, there are times that meeting my goal seems impossible...

Lessons from Rosh Hashanah (cbn devotional)

9/15/2023

Rosh Hashanah is a significant holiday in Jewish culture that marks the Jewish new year and is a time of reflection and renewal. While I was a student in Regent University’s School of Divinity, I briefly studied abroad in Israel and developed a deeper appreciation and understanding of Jewish culture...

unity in the city of god (cbn devotional)

8/13/2023

One of my most beautiful experiences while studying in Jerusalem was spontaneously singing worship songs with people from all over the world gathered in God’s Holy City for their spiritual pilgrimage. As our voices echoed off the walls of the ancient ruins, monuments, and buildings, it was a glorious display of unity through our faith in Christ; even in a city often plagued by war, debates, and attacks...

not afraid of the dark (cbn devotional)

5/23/2023

Many of us have raised children who were afraid of the dark. Everyday objects such as a pile of clothes on the floor tend to turn into a scary mound of lava in the mind of an adventurous toddler. We are a source of safety for our little ones who come to us in the still of the night, walking through dark rooms and hallways, to whisper, “I’m scared.” ...

praying for others (cbn devotional)

5/4/2023

Healing from cancer. Back rent paid in full. Marriage restoration. Comfort during grief. Suicide prevention. Hope rebuilt. These are just a few of the praise reports I have received over the years after praying for others...

Praying Through Impossible Circumstances (cbn devotional)

4/25/2023

Several years ago, I woke up with significant swelling in my right calf that increased throughout my leg by the hour. As the swelling increased, my ability to walk decreased to the point that I was on crutches by the end of the day. In the days before, I was healthy and on a considerable weightlifting regimen that consisted of weighted squats in addition to running and jump-roping. I never imagined that I would be unable to walk days later...

peace in my storm (cbn devotional)

12/26/2022

While in a deep, peaceful sleep shortly after midnight a couple of years ago, a blaring tornado alarm and a message saying to take cover startled me awake. My home was shaking and I heard howling winds and debris hitting the windows so I ran to my bathroom to take cover. I knelt on the floor and prayed for protection and peace as I waited for the EF-3 tornado to pass...

Strength That Comes From Endurance (cbn devotional)

11/19/2022

Do you ever feel like the trials in your life are testing your faith? I can relate. Sometimes our trials include our marriage, friendships, relatives, jobs, finances, children, or our health. Although having trials in our lives is unavoidable, there is good news that stems from our trials...

rest for the weary (cbn devotional)

10/20/2022

Disasters, violence, division, and lawlessness overtake the headlines of the local, national, and world news. Our media lacks good news stories. Daily, I see that terrible things are happening within my city, state, and nation. Some say they do not know why they are doing good when evil is around them — it would be easier to join the crowd...
