every song we write is derived from scripture, not just inspired by it. these series take you deeper into the same passages — one day at a time, free to your inbox.

every song we write is derived from scripture, not just inspired by it. these series take you deeper into the same passages — one day at a time, free to your inbox.

how these standalone series work

each series follows one song, one scriptural thread — multiple passages woven across seven days, each day building on what came before. by day seven, you're not just reading the Word. you're living inside it.

the series on this page stands on its own, available to start whenever you’re ready. feel free to select one that will help you with your walk with God, and whenever you’re ready, you can start another one, or walk a journey from where you left off or from the beginning.

in each space where you live, in the simple things, you can be quick to respond when you hear him speak.

These devotions are stirring food for thought in my life... when those thoughts come, my worship music goes on and my Bible is open. So thank you for the devotions... They are impactful!
