    Today's replay is from July 2024. It's a devotional, written by Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young and titled Learning to Love My Body in a Barbie World.

    "Our allegiance isn’t to culture; it’s to the King. The culture tells us through a barrage of posts, videos, products, and more that we have to make ourselves beautiful. But the Bible tells us something different."

  • Shay S. Mason: Seeking God’s Kingdom Like a Child
    Jun 30 2025

    "How will you embrace childlikeness as you pursue God’s kingdom today? Maybe it looks like taking time to walk in the park or play with your dog. Perhaps you have a desire to draw, or paint, or sing. Is there a game you haven’t played in years? Or a beloved book you haven’t read since childhood? The possibilities are endless. Invite Him to join you in whatever you choose, and ask Him for a fresh perspective on His kingdom, and your place in it, as you seek the hidden treasure of His immeasurable love."

  • Kristen Strong: What Helps You Feel Capable Instead of Crazy
    Jun 27 2025

    "Even if you’ve been on the receiving end of apathy or judgment, you still get to be the kind of person who offers the opposite. The kind who listens closely. The kind who validates tender places. The kind who sprinkles her speech with honey — sweet, healing, and full of life."

  • Becky Keife: Even When You Don’t Know Why You’re Sad
    Jun 26 2025

    "Anxiety and depression can feel like a darkness that will never lift. But they do. They have. Today I am okay.

    But even when the darkness feels thick, even when I want to hide, God’s love finds me.

    He finds you too.

    He never left you."

  • Kaitlyn Bouchillon: We Sit in the Shade of Trees We Did Not Plant
    Jun 25 2025

    "We may not get to see the branches that eventually stretch to offer shade, but what would happen if we chose to trust the timeline to the Gardener?

    What if we dared to push back against the widely seen, the popular, and the pixelated, by choosing the smaller things?

    Few of us will sit in the shade of trees we ourselves planted, but every single day we walk a path and rest in the shade that was made for us long ago by names we’ll likely never know.

    May we go and do the same.

    You are wired for glory, friend. Let’s plant some seeds."
