Goring “I am but a pilgrim here on earth: how I need a map—and your commands are my chart and guide. I long for your instructions more than I can tell.” — Psalm 119:19-20 TLB It was a dark Saturday night when I left my house, settled into the driver’s seat of my car, gathered my printed map with directions to my destination and pulled out of my driveway onto the road. I was driving to a friend’s birthday party. According to my map, it was about an hour and a half drive from my house to their apartment in another state. I hadn’t visited their home state before nor had I spent time in their abode. But I wasn’t worried…until I got lost in their state. Nothing looked familiar to me. I tried talking to a taxi driver at a stoplight but he couldn’t help me. At one point I ended up on the wrong side of the road but by a miracle of God, I returned to the right side of the road without being in an accident. Somehow, I ended up in the parking lot of a coffee shop. It was then that I called my friend and said I was lost. She sent her brother to meet me in the parking lot of the coffee shop. I then followed his car to their apartment. I wished her a happy birthday and spent time with the other guests but when our mutual friend (we’ll call her Tiana), prepared to leave, I asked her if I could follow her home since we lived near each other in the same state. She agreed and we left the party together. From the moment I settled into my car, I aligned my vehicle directly behind Tiana’s car, I zeroed in on her car’s features and memorized the license plate so I 2would know who I was following then I drove close behind her car, never taking my eyes off it. I didn’t let any other car get in between me and the car I was following closely. I matched Tiana’s driving pace and drove like my life depended on it because it did. I was in such unfamiliar territory that far from home, but I knew if I stayed close to the driver who knew the way home then I would get to my destination. This experience happened when I did not have GPS and the printed map I had failed me. But gratefully, God led me to follow this friend back into familiar territory in my home state and I arrived safely to my house that night. I don’t want to think about what could have happened if I didn’t leave the party early so I could follow a trusted guide (Tiana in this case) home. But I am grateful God saw me through that ordeal and kept me safe on the road. All of this makes me think about a spiritual lesson. The Bible says that we as believers in God are pilgrims passing through this world (1 Chronicles 29:15). Our final destination is Heaven and our trusted guide is Jesus Christ. He wants us to follow Him through the twists and turns as we journey through this world, and He promises to help us arrive safely at our ultimate destination. The Bible says that no eye has seen and no ear has heard, nor can we ever imagine what God has planned for us in Heaven (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). It’s going to be glorious and worth the wait. God loves us so much. That is why He gave us His Son as Savior our travel guide (John 3:16-17). Just like I followed my friend ...

  • There Is Always More to Discover with Jesus

    There Is Always More to Discover with Jesus
    Apr 26 2025
    Ever feel like you’ve only scratched the surface of what God’s doing in your life? In today’s devotional, Whitney Hopler reflects on John 21:25 and reminds us that Jesus is constantly at work — in ways we can see and in countless ways we can’t. The beauty of following Christ is that the story isn’t finished, and there’s always more to discover, learn, and experience with Him. ✨ Key Takeaways 💡 Jesus’ work didn’t stop when His earthly ministry ended — it continues every day in your life💡 The Bible is an endless well of wisdom, but Jesus is also writing His story through your life experiences💡 Pay attention to the “small miracles” — the peace, the encouragement, and those perfectly timed answers to prayer💡 Journaling God’s faithfulness can help you track His hand in your daily life💡 Faith is an ongoing, lifelong journey of discovery, growth, and awe 🌿 Intersecting Faith & Life Recall a moment when God answered a prayer in an unexpected way — how did that shift your faith perspective? What simple habits could help you notice Jesus’ work in your life more consistently? Could you carve out a weekly check-in with yourself and God to reflect on what He’s doing in your heart and circumstances? How might you intentionally keep learning and growing in your faith, year after year? 📖 Further Reading Psalm 40:5 | Job 5:9 | Romans 11:33 | Ecclesiastes 3:11 | Ephesians 3:20 🎙🎶 SUBSCRIBE to our NEW SHOW — Your Nightly Prayer 🌟 Check out other Crosswalk Podcasts: Crosswalk Talk: Celebrity Christian Interviews Full Transcript Below: There is Always More to Discover with Jesus By: Whitney Hopler “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” – John 21:25, NIV This is one of my favorite Bible verses, because it sparks my curiosity so much! I love how it points out that there’s much more for us to discover about Jesus. Not only did Jesus do so much during his earthly life that the world wouldn’t have room for all the books to tell us about it, but Jesus is constantly working now. Our wonderful Savior is doing so much, all the time, that we always have something more we can learn about it. That means we can be lifelong learners who are constantly going on exciting learning journeys with Jesus! Day by day, we see Jesus’ work in various ways, such as through his guidance, inspiration, and love. But how much more is happening behind the scenes? How many prayers is Jesus answering in ways we won’t fully understand until we get to heaven? How many times is Jesus protecting us from danger we don’t even know is near? Jesus is always working to accomplish good purposes in our lives – and often, he does so in mysterious ways. When you realize that you only see a fraction of the work Jesus is doing, an important question to consider is: Are you paying attention? Since Jesus’ work is so vast, you should never stop seeking to know him more. No matter how much you grow in your faith, there will always be more to discover about Jesus – and with Jesus, as you walk with him through each day of your life. Think about it this way: If there were books upon books filled with Jesus’ works, wouldn’t you want to keep reading them? Wouldn’t you want to keep exploring to learn more about Jesus’ wonderful wisdom? The Bible itself is filled with stories and teachings that you can study for a lifetime and still discover fresh insights. But beyond the Bible, Jesus is writing a record of inspiring work in your life, and it’s important for you to read it. The key to experiencing the daily wonders of God’s work in your life is to pay attention to the ways Jesus moves on a regular basis. Jesus’ miracles weren’t just occasional dramatic healings or supernatural events. They were also small yet significant experiences of positive change that happened regularly – enlightening conversations with people, acts of love, and more. Jesus still moves in these ways today! So, to start discovering more with Jesus, start paying attention to the little glimpses you notice of his work in your life – like the peace you feel during prayer, the encouragement that comes just when you need it, and the way a Bible verse speaks directly to your situation. Consider keeping a journal of Jesus’ faithfulness. Write down the ways he answers your prayers, the lessons he teaches you, and the experiences when you notice his presence with you. Over time, you’ll begin to see just how much Jesus is at work in your life. John 21:25 should inspire you to live with a sense of awe. If Jesus has done so much that the world itself couldn’t contain it all, then imagine how much wonderful work he is doing in your life! You should never become complacent in your faith. There is always more to discover with Jesus and more ways to grow in your ...

  • When Family Weighs You Down

    When Family Weighs You Down
    Apr 25 2025
    Family — it’s a gift, a challenge, and sometimes a complicated mix of both. In today’s devotional, Aaron D’Anthony Brown reflects on the story of Joseph and his brothers in Genesis 37:3-4, unpacking how even the most dysfunctional family situations can be met with grace, wisdom, and faith. If you’ve ever wrestled with family tension, painful words, or unresolved conflict, this episode offers perspective, encouragement, and biblical wisdom to help you navigate those tough relationships. ✨ Key Takeaways 💡 God values the family unit — even when it’s messy💡 Joseph’s story reminds us that betrayal and brokenness don’t have to be the end of the story💡 Prayer keeps us anchored when family drama threatens to overwhelm us💡 Open, honest communication is a brave and essential step toward healing💡 True reconciliation begins with listening well and extending forgiveness💡 No matter how unreliable people may be, God remains steadfast, loving, and good 🌿 Intersecting Faith & Life Who in your family might you need to have an honest conversation with? Are there hurts you’ve held onto that it’s time to forgive? How does Joseph’s story encourage you to keep trusting God, even in tough family dynamics? Is there someone you’ve overlooked that God might be prompting you to reconcile with today? 📖 Further Reading Exodus 20:12 | Psalm 27:10 | Ephesians 6:4 | 1 Timothy 5:8 | Matthew 5:38-39 | Matthew 10:35-37 | Matthew 18:15-17 🎙🎶 SUBSCRIBE to our NEW SHOW — Your Nightly Prayer 🌟 Check out other Crosswalk Podcasts: Crosswalk Talk: Celebrity Christian Interviews Full Transcript Below: When Family Weighs You Down By Aaron D’Anthony Brown“Now Israel loved Joseph more than his other sons because Joseph was a son born to him in his old age, and he made a long-sleeved robe for him. When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not bring themselves to speak peaceably to him.” (Genesis 37:3-4, CSB) “We’re supposed to get along,” Dad used to say a lot to my sisters and me growing up. That was his reminder to prioritize our family bond over any reason for strife. Whenever I asked “Why?” with childish curiosity, my father’s answer was simple: “We’re family.” Since those youthful days, at times I’ve still wondered why we should remain committed to family despite all odds. I’ve wondered while observing the ways family members turn on each other, gossip, and all sorts of drama they cause. Today, however, the answer to my question is much clearer. We should value our households because God esteems the family unit. One great example that makes the case is the story of Joseph and his brothers. In Genesis 37, Scripture introduces us to Joseph as a boy who receives prophetic dreams. After sharing these visions with his brothers, his own flesh and blood turns on him. First, they consider killing him before settling on just selling him into slavery. Not only did Joseph’s siblings commit the initial atrocity, but as later passages reveal, they also kept up the ruse for years to avoid any consequences. They only came clean when a famine hit the land, and circumstances forced them to come to terms with their sin. By then, Joseph was a young man whom Pharoah placed in charge of all of Egypt. The story concludes with reconciliation, forgiveness, and a bond between brothers that is surprisingly rekindled. Like Joseph, we don’t get to pick our families, and thus, we often don’t get to choose what kind of problems they drag us into. While prophecies may not be the reason family weighs you down, other circumstances are to blame. Some trivial, some quite significant. If we are to learn from Joseph, how exactly do we stay afloat when family weighs us down? Intersecting Faith & Life: There are several takeaways from the story of Joseph that we can implement into our own familial relations. Talk to God Hearing prayer as a response to your circumstances probably sounds like a cliché, but the cliché rings true. Joseph never lost his relationship with God throughout the hardships. His faith kept him in line with God’s will and proved that what the Lord showed him through dreams came to fruition. That’s a reminder to us to trust God. Whatever the situation, God promises His presence and peace if we seek Him. God knows that family can be difficult, but His power is greater than any difficulty. Communicate As you seek God for direction, consider also talking to your family. Sometimes people don’t realize their behavior or words are negatively impacting you. Avoiding confrontation may feel comfortable in the moment, but this does nothing but exacerbate the issue. Instead, talk to your parents, child, sibling, whoever, and find a solution. The beauty of communication is that even if you don’t come up with something, at the very least, you understand one another better. Listen Well When you reach out to ...
