Dan In The North

In this week's bible study, we explore a key lesson for your faith journey: At MAN Camp, I witnessed what happens when broken men encounter the living God, and I was reminded that forgiveness isn't weakness…healing isn't just a story in the Bible…and the Holy Spirit is still at work today.  But the most powerful moment wasn't the healing. It was what God whispered to my heart when...

In this week's bible study, we explore a key lesson around the life of Larry Lillback's faith journey: What does it look like when a man actually lives his faith instead of just talking about it? My Dad showed me. He lived with the confidence of Philippians 1:21: “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” And he lived with the trust of Proverbs 3:5–6: “Trust in the Lord with all yo...

What if the worst thing that ever happened to you is actually part of something God is still using for good? Joseph spent thirteen years watching his life go in the exact opposite direction of what God had promised, yet somehow he could still say, “You planned evil against me, but God used those same plans for my good.” Today's bible study guides your faith journey with a powerful reminder:  D...

Today's bible study guides your faith journey with a powerful reminder:  The Pharisees thought they were trapping Jesus with a coin, but Jesus turned the question into something much more personal: Who actually owns you? Caesar gets what bears Caesar's image—but you bear the image of God, and He isn't asking for a percentage. Dan in the North is a weekly Bible study and devotional podc...

Join this episode's bible study focused on deepening your faith journey. Who has more power over you—the person sitting across the table, or the God who created the table, the room, and the person sitting across from you? We spend far too much time fearing people who will eventually return to dust, while forgetting the Creator who holds eternity in His hands. Dan in the North is a weekly Bible...

In this week's bible study, we explore a key lesson for your faith journey: Esther didn't know why she became queen until she was forced to confront a crisis that could cost her everything.  And maybe that's the uncomfortable question for us today: what if God has put you exactly where you are because there's something He wants you to do that nobody else can do quite like you? Dan...

Today's bible study guides your faith journey with a powerful reminder:  Heaven has never been particularly impressed by our spreadsheets, our shortages, or our excuses. The Kingdom operates from a completely different foundation…. what looks like not enough in our hands can become more than enough in His.   Dan in the North is a weekly Bible study and devotional podcast designed to challenge...

Join this episode's bible study focused on deepening your faith journey. Forgiveness sounds holy until you're the one holding the grudge, and turning the other cheek sounds easy until your cheek actually gets hit.  Jesus wasn't asking for better Bible knowledge—He was asking us to put force behind His words and build our lives on them .  Dan in the North is a weekly Bible study and dev...

Join this episode's bible study focused on deepening your faith journey. What if eternity isn't the end of your faith and hope….but the place where they finally reach their fullest expression?  Most of us imagine heaven as a finish line…but what if it's actually the greatest beginning ever created? Dan in the North is a weekly Bible study and devotional podcast designed to challenge an...

Today's bible study guides your faith journey with a powerful reminder: We've become comfortable with a Christianity that explains away the supernatural instead of asking God for more of it.  Do we really want a God we can predict, package, and keep safely inside the boundaries of our own understanding? Dan in the North is a weekly Bible study and devotional podcast designed to challenge a...

In this week's bible study, we explore a key lesson for your faith journey: We fixate on what's missing while ignoring the overwhelming evidence of God's daily provision.  Heaven thinks in abundance; fallen humanity thinks in shortages.  Dan in the North is a weekly Bible study and devotional podcast designed to challenge and deepen your faith journey through Scripture, biblical histor...

Join this episode's bible study focused on deepening your faith journey. What if you've spent years climbing a ladder that's leaning against the wrong wall?  Every one of us is hoping for something… but the uncomfortable question is whether our greatest hope will still matter a million years from now.  Dan in the North is a weekly Bible study and devotional podcast designed to challeng...

Today's bible study guides your faith journey with a powerful reminder:  The serpent's greatest weapon has always been venom….lies, deception, and death…but the Creator had already written the antidote into creation itself.  From the opening chapters of Genesis to the final victory in Revelation, the Bible tells the story of two creatures locked in a war: the serpent and the Lamb. Dan in the North...

Join this episode's bible study focused on deepening your faith journey where we uncover that, God intentionally put one "no" in a world filled with thousands of "yeses," and we've been staring at that one restriction ever since.   The one forbidden tree planted right in the middle of paradise. Why?  Dan in the North is a weekly Bible study and devotional podcast design...

In this week's bible study, we explore a key lesson for your faith journey:  Every human being who has ever lived can point to a beginning and an ending, but God simply says, "I AM."  The most unsettling thought in the universe may be this…the One who existed before the beginning still holds your next breath in His hands.  Dan in the North is a weekly Bible study and devotional podca...

In this week's bible study, we explore a key lesson for your faith journey:  Humanity spent thousands of years proving that the problem was never a lack of laws…it was the condition of the human heart. We celebrate grace, but sometimes we use grace as an excuse to stop taking God's commands seriously.  The Sermon on the Mount won't let us do that, because…. while Jesus finished the wor...

Today's bible study guides your faith journey with a powerful reminder: The world doesn't mind Christians who blend in, but it notices Christians who shine.

Join this episode's bible study focused on deepening your faith journey where we uncover that, Salt doesn't stop being salt because it's attacked….it loses its effectiveness when it's mixed with too many other things.  A little ambition, a little comfort, a little approval, a little compromise….and suddenly….. your life tastes no different than the world around you. Dan in the Nort...

Today's bible study guides your faith journey with a powerful reminder: Jesus never called His followers to blend into the crowd….He called them to be salt….impossible to ignore when they're missing.  The uncomfortable truth is that salt only matters when it changes the environment around it.  If nobody notices a difference when you walk into a room….have you lost your saltiness?  Dan in t...

Today's bible study guides your faith journey with a powerful reminder: Not every storm is proof that we're standing with Jesus….sometimes the storm is His mercy steering us back toward Him.  The danger is confusing discipline with persecution and calling ourselves victims when God is actually treating us like sons and daughters.  Dan in the North is a weekly Bible study and devotional pod...

In this week's bible study, we explore a key lesson for your faith journey: The early disciples walked away bleeding from persecution… and somehow rejoicing like they had just won the lottery. Because in the upside down Kingdom of God, suffering for the Name is not failure — it’s evidence that heaven is paying attention. Dan in the North is a weekly Bible study and devotional podcast designed...

The early church faced prison, torture, and death for righteousness—today most believers panic over being called judgmental or weird. Jesus didn’t say persecution might happen for the righteous… He said it was evidence you actually belong to His Kingdom. Dan in the North is a weekly Bible study and devotional podcast designed to challenge and deepen your faith journey through Scripture, biblical h...

Solomon had unlimited money, power, sex, influence, and success….and still ended up spiritually hollow and choking on emptiness. Your appetite will never stop screaming for more, but your soul quietly dies when it’s ignored long enough. Most people spend their lives feeding temporary cravings while their eternal orchard sits dry, overgrown, and fruitless. Dan in the North is a weekly Bible study a...

Joshua stood before a nation drowning in victory, looked them in the eye, and warned them that even the rocks were listening.
