Your Daily Prayer

Christian apologist, minister and podcaster Perseus Poku stops by to bring the knowledge often found in the ivory towers of seminary down to the steeple towers of local churches and homes of Christians.  In this special preview of his show, Sound Reasoning, you will hear a snippet from one of his lessons on the doctrine of ministry.  KEEP LISTENING TO SOUND REASONING WITH PERSEUS POKU: Apple Podca...

As beautiful as this season is, there is also this emptiness and uncomfortable sadness that, no matter how hard I try to push down, keeps bubbling back up to the surface. This is the first Christmas without my mom. This Christmas will be different and difficult. Maybe you find yourself in a different and difficult Christmas season as well. - Alicia Searl SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Cross...

Each year as the Christmas season gets closer, my heart fills with excitement over celebrating Jesus with family and friends. The decorations, the parties, the gifts…they all occupy my mind and time. But as Christmas Day approaches, my thoughts usually turn to Mary. All she endured on that long trek to Bethlehem. Giving birth in a barn surrounded by unsettling sounds and smells. Her worries and fe...

The prophet Isaiah points out crucial truths in the verses above, by which we can operate in our daily lives. When our emotions start to run away, we can instead choose to yield to the following powerful truths as we pray. - Meg Bucher SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional: https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-d...

We, too, can experience the season's excitement like Mary those many years ago. As believers, we thank the Lord for sending his Son and eagerly wait for the second coming of Jesus. As we enter the Advent season, may we keep Christ at the center of our hearts and celebration as we remember that He alone is the reason for the season. - Laura Bailey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Dev...

As we pray through the third advent candle, the candle of joy, may our hearts reflect on the beautiful message from the angel given to the Shepherds in the fields. The angel brought good news of great joy. This is what we have in Jesus; we have the good news of the gospel that God came down from heaven to us in the form of man and lived the perfect life and died a sinners death and rose so that we...

At Jesus’ birth, God lit the night sky to make his announcement. Can you imagine sitting in the dark, warming yourself by a fire, tuning your ear to the night sounds when an angel appears before you and the glory of God fills the night? - Jessica Van Roekel SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional: https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Daily Bible Verse: https://ww...

As we find ourselves in the season of celebrating Jesus’ birth and all He is to us, I pray that your heart would be softened to see the great, intricate works of our Mighty God. And may you will find yourself in awe and wonder at His works. - Chelsey DeMatteis SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional: https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Daily Bible Verse: https:/...

Peace is a high commodity these days. Desired by the masses, found by few. Often individuals believe if they can gather wealth, family, and a prominent position, peace will come. Yet most find that it is not something that comes through other people, possessions, or social status. - Lynette Kittle SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional: https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devot...

Recently I had the rare treat of grabbing dinner with some of my closest girlfriends. We began discussing our upcoming holiday plans. Within minutes the topic of in-laws, family tension, and general dread over getting together with relatives in the upcoming weeks was brought up. - Laura Bailey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional: https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotiona...

One of my family’s biggest sources of worry is money. We earn our living from my husband’s ever-fluctuating contracting business and my part-time ministry position, all while footing the bill for three kids to go to private school. Needless to say, money is tight. While others are loading their carts with toys, hosting lavish parties, and giving generously to those in need, I'm struggling to keep...

As we pray through the second candle of faith for the Advent season, may we be reminded that we serve the God who makes a way and prepares our hearts. Jesus is the Way; He is the One we are celebrating who came and fulfilled every prophecy of the Old Testament. He is the Savior of the world. - Emma Danzey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crossw...

Christmastime is a beautiful and holy time of year, causing us to pause and reflect on God’s rich love for us, soaking in all its wonders, but for the overwhelmed mom, going into this season can cause a surge of panic. As excitement and anticipation grow, so do the anxiety, frantic nerves, and seasonal stress. - Alicia Searl SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www....

Nothing could ever take away the Truth of Christmas. Jesus is the Truth. He was born on earth as a gift to us. It’s the greatest love story of all time. Let’s pray to fully embrace Him this Christmas. - Meg Bucher SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Di...

We are often too easily swept away in all the magical traditions causing us to forget the true gift of the Christmas season. As we prepare our homes and families for Christmas, can we also prepare room in our hearts and minds? String the lights up, sip the cocoa, and as you prepare room in your home, also prepare Christ room in your heart and mind this Christmas. - Ashley Moore SUBSCRIBE to our si...

When God allows for disappointment to happen in our life, we must remember that all things that come our way are meant to cultivate the fruit of the Spirit in us and conform us to the image of Christ, whether we were expecting them to happen or not. When we are disappointed, we are given an appointment to praise God no matter what. - Emily Massey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Dev...

Whether it is a pesky weeklong cold during the start of the fall weather, a chronic illness, or a serious disease. We or people we know are living life today with sickness. God did not intend for us to be sick in this world. Our bodies were perfectly designed to be healthy and strong. However, when we sinned and darkness entered the world, sicknesses came to be. - Emma Danzey SUBSCRIBE to our sist...

Feeling heartbroken is probably one of the worst pains we endure as humans. It’s an outwardly unseen injury, a wound so deep, no one else can remove the pain from us no matter how many sweet, comforting words they speak to us. No drug, painkiller, or comfort food is able to take it away. All humanly cures and solutions fall short, only masking the pain for a while, being totally helpless to eradic...

Today as we pray through the first candle, hope, may we be reminded of the fulfilled promise of Jesus as the Messiah long awaited by the people of God. - Emma Danzey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com...

We are called to be good stewards of our time, talents, and treasures. But where things can get sideways is when we begin to worship an orderly and predictable life to the point where we come unglued when something threatens our plans. For some of us, uncertainty is a stumbling block to joyfully submitting to God’s divine interruptions. - Ashley Moore SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswal...

This time of year is not just about the gifts, the songs, the food, and the decorations. It’s a season of remembrance, it’s a season of giving and serving those around us just as the King of Kings left his home in heaven to come to earth in the most vulnerable form — a baby — to grow, live, and die a brutal death on a cross for us. - Molly Law SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devoti...

I recently called one of my siblings to ask about holiday gathering plans. I wanted to know if he’d be okay with having the thanksgiving meal at our house this year. The conversation was going great until we began to go over the guest list. - Ashley Moore SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://ww...
