Matthew 5:16 tells us that we should let our lights shine so that others will see our good works and glorify God. What does that look like in practical terms?

There are many reasons to study the Bible, but they aren’t all equal. The biggest“why” that should underscore our study efforts isn’t a desire to understand ourselves better, but a desire to genuinely understand the mind of our Father.

Leading up to Pentecost, we consider how God’s Spirit produces growth in Christians. Can times of wasteland actually be an incubator for the spiritual wonder God is quietly moving us towards?

The early church would have thought of grafting as an agricultural concept, but this week’s study examines it through a medical lens and draws deeply meaningful spiritual insights from this metaphor.

How can we listen to God and become truly attuned with Him when our lives are so loud and distracting? This week we examine five ways to hear His voice better.

This week we examine three ways the Holy Spirit transformed people in the New Testament: a softening, a radical life change, and an amplification of one’s existing strengths to better align with God’s purpose.

In part two of our Unexpected Meanings series, we examine what biblical meditation actually looks like. (Spoiler alert: It’s very different than what the world thinks of when they hear this term!)

In part one of our Unexpected Meanings series, we examine the biblical concept of a “helper” to determine whether the societal connotations associated with this term are bibical, or if God intended a helper to be so much more.

Just as the Israelites were hesitant to leave slavery in Egypt, we can delay making positive life changes because we’re afraid to create a void. In this study we meditate on God’s promise to the Israelites that He would not send them out empty.

The natural human tendency is to avoid pain, and to shelter those we love from feeling it as well. This week we challenge that inclination, and instead embrace suffering as a necessary and profitable part of the Christian walk.

“Footwashing” and “hospitality” are two words that should be very familiar to Christians…but have you ever connected them together? This week’s study will forever link these two concepts in your mind.

In this week’s study we reflect on where we get our sense of self-worth: Are we looking to God for it, or are we trying to create it in the ways the world does?

How should a Christian respond to God’s gift of grace? The type of obedience God is looking for has little to do with rote compliance and everything to do with transformation.

This week we begin exploring the rich topic of grace. What do the opposite human struggles of self-righteousness and low self-worth have in common? (Hint: The antidote to both is the same.)

How can we course-correct when our marriage has moved a bit off track? This week has no video or study guide and instead offers a resource for tackling this important topic through prayer, study, journaling, and crucial conversations.

All humans bring both strengths and weaknesses to the table, and our marriages are so much better off when we focus on our spouse’s positive contributions rather than fixating on reasons to criticize.

When the going gets tough, does your marriage suffer, or is it a place of refuge? This week we reflect on the way trials shape our marriages for worse or (hopefully) for better, and how our attitudes and approaches shape that outcome.

Marriage is so much bigger than this person you live with daily…it’s a type of the relationship that Christ has with the Church. We are called to sacrificial love and oneness and the payoff of a God-driven marriage has timeless implications for all involved.

Unconscious overclaiming is a tendency to overestimate your own contributions, skills, or knowledge in comparison to that of others, and it’s a total joy-killer. Are you ever guilty of this? Do you know the antidote?

Do you find yourself getting through life by just gritting it out? In week three of our Joy series, we look at a lack of joy as an indicator that our spiritual life is in need of attention.
