Moments of crisis reveal parts of our character that we'd rather keep hidden. In these moments, we can look for opportunities to grow into a better reflection of Jesus Christ.
James 1:2-4 (NIV)
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

Ultimate Tuesday Devotional
Bryan Fojtasek • Mark 2:2
It's 2-22-22... on a Tuesday! Let's celebrate by looking at the 2nd verse of the 2nd chapter of the 2nd book of the 2nd section of the Bible, Mark 2:2. This story shows us that no matter what has happened in our past, we can always make the decision today to turn to Jesus for a transformed future.
Shortcuts
June 18, 2020
Some shortcuts are great, but others... not so much. Waiting on God's plan to develop in his timing isn't easy, but taking a shortcut and rushing ahead with our own plan usually makes this worse, not better. In this 5 minute video, Bryan shares about a terrible shortcut he took and the story of how it landed him in the hospital--with 5 staples in his head! We hope you are encouraged and inspired to sit back and wait for God's plan and God's timing.
