The Crosswalk Devotional: A Daily Devotional Christian Podcast

Have you ever had times in your life when it seemed like God didn't hear you? It can seem pretty discouraging when we feel like our prayers aren’t being heard and we aren’t sensing God’s presence and interventions in difficult situations. Sadly, feeling unheard often leads people to feel unloved, forgotten, and of little value to God. - Lynette Kittle SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily P...

The familiar elements of the story of Christ’s birth on earth are only a fraction of the majestic coordination of the events leading up to His first human cries on earth. The verse above tells us Jesus knew who He was and what His mission on earth consisted of. He also knew He would return to the Father. - Meg Bucher SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/y...

In our world today, where countless people are rewriting God’s Word to say things He isn’t saying and to support causes that go against His will, we need to remember that God’s Word will never fail. Especially now with the changing times, individuals and groups are believing God’s Word needs a new spin on it and updating, a modernization to keep up with the changing times. - Lynette Kittle SUBSCRI...

May the Lord help us renew our minds with His Word and give us the patience we need to endure frustrations with self-control. Anger will present itself in our hearts, but we do not have to be trapped by it. The Lord will provide a way of escape, so let us look to Him for help to handle those overwhelming feelings. - Emily Massey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lif...

Although the enemy of God is at work to deceive people into thinking He is a stingy, closed hand, withholder of everything good and wonderful thing life has to offer; it couldn’t be farther from the truth. It’s all a lie, just lying propaganda from the father of lies. - Lynette Kittle SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/ Your Daily Bibl...

​ What question are you asking God today? How can you press into it like Thomas instead of avoiding it? The Lord values your questions and desires that you would come to Him. How has Jesus proven to be the Way in your life? How can you share this good news and hope with others who do not know Him this week? - Emma Danzey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifeaudio.c...

There’s one phrase that used to boggle my mind, even annoy me. God is enough. It was incredibly frustrating to hear during bouts of loneliness when I not only prayed but strived to change my life into what I wanted. Somehow or another, I ended up short. And yet, I kept hearing that phrase. God is enough. - Aaron D'Anthony Brown SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.life...

Have you ever heard of the man who carried Jesus' cross? Here in  Luke 23 , tucked away in verse 26 is the mention of a man who could easily get lost in the text; however, when we look at the significance of this moment, we will find ourselves in awe of what God is trying to tell us - Emma Danzey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/ You...

If there has ever been a time when we needed divine guidance on marriage, now is that time. Mercifully, the Bible is filled with God’s truth about this most essential institution. Consider the truth and life from the devotional thoughts in  Ephesians 5:1 , 22-33. Here the  Apostle Paul is applying the love of the Lord Jesus Christ to wives and husbands in marriage. Now this passage contains two ad...

​ What are you facing today, this week, or this coming year? Does it seem too much for you to handle? Are evil people backing you into a corner? Or maybe you have gotten yourself into a terrible situation? If so, know God is waiting, willing, and ready to answer your cries when you turn to Him for deliverance. - Lynette Kittle SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifea...

The holiday season kicks off with a reminder to be thankful. Gratitude is a powerful mentality. When we force a smile onto our faces, it actually triggers positive thoughts in our minds! The world is a difficult place, but God is bigger. His faithfulness gives us strength. God loves us so much, He sent His Son, Jesus, to earth to save us. - Meg Bucher SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily P...

It’s easy to get caught up in all the various holiday events that take place during the Christmas season: running from place to place, shopping for gifts, attending holiday parties, and preparing festive meals. In the rush and excitement of it all, it’s easy to get caught up in it and take our eyes off the real focal point of Christmas, Jesus, our prefect gift from our loving, heavenly Father (Joh...

We often consider the birth of Jesus from the perspective of looking back. For a moment, I want you to put yourself in the hearts and minds of the people who were alive during this time. When you do this, it will help you understand the reason for the hope and excitement surrounding Jesus’ birth.  - Clarence L. Haynes Jr.  SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifeaudio...

We can’t lose God’s call on our lives. Each day, as we seek the Lord and obediently do the next right thing, we move closer to what He has for us. Even when we know early on what we are meant to do, the work of walking in the will of God continues until the day we arrive home to Him. - Meg Bucher SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/ You...

Do you know someone who is suffering this holiday season? If so, are you willing to walk alongside them? If not, there are plenty of organizations to help direct you in giving, praying, and volunteering to those who are afflicted and could use some encouragement, comfort, and support in their lives. - Lynette Kittle SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/yo...

Joshua was about to take over for Moses, and God’s people were the most fickle to lead. Always rebelling and losing faith. The Lord faithfully encouraged him through Moses. The Lord is faithful to encourage us today, too. When life gets hard, and we find ourselves clinging …turn to the only One who can mend the cracks in our armor. - Meg Bucher SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer: ...

Have you ever been asked to lead a small group, teach Sunday School, or share a devotion but declined because you didn’t know what to share? If you haven’t already, write your testimony, incorporating some of your favorite scriptures and verses that share the gospel. Practice in front of a mirror, a spouse, or a trusted friend to build your confidence. - Laura Bailey SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcas...

When you base your merit on other people’s opinions, you set yourself up to struggle to receive God’s acceptance. But when you base your merit on God’s infinite love for you, you can take steps toward replacing the negative messages with God’s truth: you are the work of his hands—most notable and excellent. When you base your merit on other people’s opinions, you set yourself up to struggle to rec...

As the holidays roll around this year, we may be finding ourselves in places we didn’t ever dream of being, doing work we didn’t plan on or ever want to do, feeling down and discouraged at where life has led us. How many of us planned and imagined our lives going in a specific direction, then suddenly and unexpectedly, we experienced our lives taking an unplanned turn? - Lynette Kittle SUBSCRIBE t...

With sincere hearts, we can boldly come right into the presence of God. His sincerity sees us long before we turn to Him, and he delights when we genuinely come to Him. - Meg Bucher SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudi...

How do you spend the holidays with someone who rejected you? Once they were like family, and now, they’re your enemy. What if you’re at the same table? Or bump into each other in the buffet line? The sting of betrayal feels like a fire. - Jessica Van Roekel SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://www.lifeau...

Many of us believe we deserve God’s forgiveness but with others, not so much. The truth is, none of us deserve His forgiveness, and there is no way we could possibly ever earn it or purchase it ourselves. None of us can attain God’s forgiveness on our own. It’s God's gift to us through Jesus. - Lynette Kittle SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-dail...

The Christmas Season has also been called the Season of Hope. Much deeper than the wishes circled in toy catalogs and commercialized in gift wrap, Hope is anchored in the faithfulness of God. - Meg Bucher SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Discover more Christi...

Everyone faces days of trouble because trouble is part of our world. It serves several purposes. It’s an opportunity for our spiritual roots to go deeper as we choose to trust God with the unknowns that lie before us. The thing with troubles is that we don’t have a guaranteed outcome, and we like outcomes we can count on. In the end, victory is ours, but when the beginning seems long ago, the midd...
