Welcome to Daily Devotional Challenges! This short morning podcast is a perfect addition to your spiritual life. Each episode will start off with a bible lesson, and a daily challenge for you to do that goes along with it! I hope you find joy in learning about Jesus through these episodes and living by his word through every challenge you complete.
As children of God, we’re called to have the perspective of eternity… not just the perspective of what’s going to happen in this life. Jesus makes it clear in the Bible that all earthly belongings are temporary and instead of working to store up temporary treasures for ourselves in this world, that we would work to store eternal treasure in heaven. We can only do this by choosing to die to ourself and say yes to Him everyday. Stay tunes for this episode to find out how!
In this episode, we give 4 steps of how to submit your prayer requests to God, and how you can receive what you ask for! God is our heavenly father, and He wants us to have the desires of our hearts, especially if it aligns with His will for us.
Life is full of waiting, and how we wait matters. We can either grow more impatient, or grow more enduring, and it's up to us. God doesn't want us to wait for a happy situation in order to feel joy, but it is His will for us to rejoice and grow even in our waiting seasons, and in this episode we talk about how we can do that!
Do you ever wonder what you're true calling is? Well, God doesn't call all of us to do the same thing, but He calls all of us to do something. In this episode, we talk about how to determine what we are called to do, and how to overcome any barriers that are blocking our calling.
It can be so easy to give thanks to God when all our prayers are being answered, but not as easy when things aren't going our way. In this episode, we talk about how we can give thanks in all circumstances.
As Christ followers, we are called to be a light to the world. In this episode, we talk about how Jesus wants us to spread His light so that people may know our God and glorify Him. We are called to be lights beyond the church, and into the world. Light shines the most in darkness, and everyday we have new opportunities to be a light to someone.
In order for us to live out our promise from God, we first have to go through healing. We have to let God refine us and make us worthy of His calling. In this episode, we discuss how to receive healing from God and how to endure through it, so that we may obtain His great plans for us.
Setting goals in life can be exciting, and same goes for our spiritual life! Setting goals for our spiritual life can make our relationship with Jesus more exciting, and in this episode we talk about goal setting, and how to build consistency when working on our goals.
We all have jobs and responsibilities in our life, and in this episode we discuss how God wants us to go about our jobs! Work is not supposed to be a curse... Work is one of the best ways we can glorify God and bear His fruits. Work can be a blessing, and today we reveal how.
In this episode, we discuss who Jesus truly is and how big of a difference He makes when we include Him in our life! Jesus does not wait till we are "loveable" to love us, but instead He loves us at our lowest when we have provided nothing lovable to Him. Watch this episode to hear more about our loving savior and all that He's done for us!
Feeling stuck seems to be a reoccurring life problem. Everyone has felt stuck in life, whether it was stuck in a situation, relationship, job, sin, or just a hard season in life. In this episode, I discuss what God says the most important thing to do is when we feel stuck.
We make hundreds of decisions every day. Our day is filled with decision making, both small and big decisions. How can we be sure that we are making the right ones? In this episode, we talk about God's will for our life and how we can make decisions that align with God's plan for our life.
God warns us that life is not meant to be perfect, but instead it is meant to shape us for the better. Often, our shaping happens through trials and challenges. In this episode, we talk about what Jesus says we should do when we are faced with trials, and how to see the beauty in a trial so that our pain isn't wasted, but instead, something is gained.
