Send us a text Do you ever feel like you're playing different characters depending on where you are and who you're with?

Mornings With Jesus
Just Sit with Him Today! | Joshua Scott Zeitz
Send us a text Have you ever wondered if your relationship with God has become one-sided? That striking question opens our exploration into the nature of true fellowship with our Creator. We challenge listeners to honestly reflect: how often do you approach God simply to love Him, without presenting a list of needs? Drawing from the beautiful promise in Lamentations 3:22-23, we discover that God's compassions never fail and are new every morning—a foundation for understanding His desire for ...

God Doesn't Track Progress Like We Do: Embracing Your Unique Journey | Joshua Scott Zeitz
Send us a text Comparison is the thief of joy—especially in our spiritual lives. Drawing from Philippians 3:13-14, we explore why the backward glance can sabotage our forward progress in faith. "Forgetting what lies behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal..." Paul's words remind us that the Christian journey isn't about measuring up to others but pressing forward in our unique calling. Have you ever wished your spiritual growth came with a progress bar? Unfortun...

Humble Yourself Under the Mighty Hand of God! | Joshua Scott Zeitz
Send us a text What does it truly mean to be "poor in spirit," and why does Jesus call this state "blessed"? This profound exploration of Matthew 5:3 unpacks one of the most counterintuitive teachings in Scripture—that spiritual poverty actually leads to kingdom riches. Joshua Scott Zeitz vulnerably shares his personal journey from pride and self-sufficiency to humble surrender. "Before I came to Jesus, I was so full of pride and arrogance," he reflects. "In essence, I thought I was the smar...

Be Free! | Joshua Scott Zeitz
Send us a text Do you find yourself constantly returning to old patterns, habits, and mindsets despite knowing better? Most of us struggle not because we lack knowledge but because we don't truly understand our identity in Christ. Drawing from Hebrews 12:1, we explore how recognizing who we are in Christ empowers us to "strip off every unnecessary weight and sin which so easily entangles us." My own journey through self-doubt and negative self-perception taught me that freedom isn't somethin...

When "Not Enough" Meets the God of Abundance | Joshua Scott Zeitz
Send us a text When faced with life's seemingly impossible situations, our first response often mirrors Philip's in John 6:7—we calculate our resources and confidently declare, "There's not enough." We exaggerate our limitations to God, as if He needs convincing about how dire our circumstances truly are. This daily encouragement explores the profound truth that Jesus already knows when a miracle is needed. He isn't waiting for elaborate solutions or expecting us to somehow generate addition...

Smoothing the Rough Edges | Joshua Scott Zeitz
Send us a text Do you ever find yourself critiquing others' spiritual journeys while comfortably sitting on the sidelines? In this heartfelt devotional, we explore how surprisingly easy it is to become spiritual critics rather than compassionate guides—much like shouting advice at cooking show contestants from our couches when we couldn't handle the pressure ourselves. Drawing from personal experience, I share my early struggles with a critical spirit that hindered rather than helped my witn...

The Prince of Peace: Discovering Rest in a Chaotic World | Joshua Scott Zeitz
Send us a text Have you ever noticed how missing just one hour of sleep can completely derail your day? Our spiritual lives work the same way. When we neglect our connection with God, we operate from a place of depletion rather than divine fullness. Drawing from John 14:27, we explore Christ's extraordinary promise: "Peace I leave with you, my perfect peace I give to you." This isn't the conditional, temporary peace the world offers—it's a supernatural tranquility that remains steadfast thro...

The Spare Tire Conundrum | Joshua Scott Zeitz
Send us a text We explore the powerful message from Psalms 46 about finding refuge and strength in God, challenging the common tendency to compartmentalize faith until crisis hits. By intentionally practicing stillness and inviting divine presence into our daily decisions, we can transform our approach to life's challenges both big and small. • God is described as "our refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble" • Many people treat God like a spare tire or genie in a bottle,...

From Rent to Own! | Joshua Scott Zeitz
Send us a text Have you ever considered that your approach to faith might resemble your approach to property—renting versus owning? This profound analogy forms the heart of today's reflection on Matthew 22:37, where Jesus commands us to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." When we rent a home, we handle minor upkeep but leave major repairs to the landlord. Similarly, many believers "rent" their spiritual lives—attending church, reading Scr...

More Than a Feeling | Joshua Scott Zeitz
Send us a text Have you ever found yourself wondering where God is in the midst of your struggles? That disconnect between what we feel and what we know to be true creates some of the most challenging moments in our spiritual journey. Today we're tackling the profound tension between our emotional experiences and God's unchanging Word. When circumstances seem to contradict what Scripture promises, we face a critical decision: will we trust our feelings or stand on divine truth? As we explore...

The Profound Power of Mundane Moments | Joshua Scott Zeitz
Send us a text Have you ever felt the pressure to experience everything, see it all, and constantly be in motion? Today's reflection on Proverbs 4:25-27 invites us into a counter-cultural wisdom that transforms our perspective on life's seemingly ordinary moments. Drawing from the simple pleasure of watching fish swim in an aquarium, we explore how quality experiences often outshine quantity, and how this principle applies to our spiritual journey. While the world pushes us toward constant s...

Running to God Joshua Scott Zeitz
Send us a text Have you ever felt so overwhelmed that your first instinct was to run away from everything? That desperate feeling of wanting to escape your problems is something we all experience, but today's message offers a life-changing perspective on where we should run when life gets tough. Through a beautifully crafted poem called "Running," we explore the journey from running away from God's goodness to running toward His loving arms. The poem paints a vivid picture of someone worn ou...

Table for Two | Joshua Scott Zeitz
Send us a text Have you ever dismissed God's actions as simply "mysterious ways" that you'll never understand? Today's encouragement challenges that notion with a fresh perspective on our relationship with the Creator of the universe. At the heart of Christianity lies an astounding truth: God doesn't want to keep you in the dark. Jesus explicitly told his disciples, "I no longer call you servants... Instead, I call you friends." This transformative statement reveals God's desire for transpar...

Breaking the Mold
Send us a text What if the key to breaking free from the negativity that surrounds us is already within our reach? Romans 12:2 offers a powerful antidote to the world's pessimistic pull: "Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." The familiar saying "misery loves company" rings true in our daily experience. Negativity seems to dominate our news feeds, conversations, and even our thoughts if we're not careful. But as followers of Christ, we're called to...

No Vacancy: How to Evict Worry, Fear and Doubt From Your Life | Joshua Scott Zeitz
Send us a text Have you ever carried a cup filled to the brim, carefully avoiding a spill? While servers learn to look straight ahead when carrying full cups, our spiritual lives thrive when we're so filled with God's Word that we overflow everywhere we go. Drawing from the beautiful imagery of Psalm 23:5—"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies, thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over"—we discover the tremendous power of being saturated with Scripture. ...

Kick it to the Curb! | Joshua Scott Zeitz
Send us a text Grace doesn't erase consequences. This powerful truth lies at the heart of today's candid exploration of sin's lasting impact on our lives. Drawing from his dramatic testimony of transformation that began in a jail cell, Joshua Scott Zeitz reveals the hard-won wisdom that took years to fully grasp: while God forgives completely, the ripple effects of our choices continue long after repentance. As he vulnerably shares, "I had to learn this the hard way. Before I met Jesus, I wa...

The Power of Letting Go and Letting God | Joshua Scott Zeitz
Send us a text What's that one thing you're keeping back from God? That area you carefully protect, that habit you justify, that comfort you return to when life gets difficult? Today's powerful reflection on Psalm 139:23-24 tackles the courage required to pray, "Search me thoroughly, O God, and know my heart." There's a transformative truth at work in our spiritual lives: whatever we withhold from God inevitably becomes a mess, while whatever we surrender becomes blessed. King David exemplif...

The Sentinel's Challenge: Staying Vigilant Against the Enemy | Joshua Scott Zeitz
Send us a text The spiritual battlefield requires vigilance, especially when we're at our weakest. Drawing from 1 Peter 5:8, we examine how the enemy operates "like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour" and what this means for our daily spiritual practices. Have you noticed how your worst decisions often come when you're tired, hungry, stressed, or overworked? This isn't coincidental. As one pastor wisely observed, "When emotions are high, decision-making is low." These vulnerable momen...

Becoming a Window: How Selflessness Reveals Christ to Others | Joshua Scott Zeitz
Send us a text Have you ever caught yourself standing in the way of God's work rather than transparently revealing Christ to others? Today's powerful reflection draws from a familiar childhood phrase – "you make a better door than a window" – to challenge our approach to Christian living. Drawing from Colossians 1:27 and Galatians 2:20, we explore what it truly means for Christ to live in us as "the hope of glory." The journey from spiritual immaturity to maturity often follows a predictable...
