Do You Need Refreshing?
Are you a busy person who’s struggling to connect with God in the craziness of everyday life? Me too.
Are you ready to discover the joy, excitement, and riches of God’s Word? Me too.
This is why I write 5-minute devotions. Short enough to read in the carpool line, in the break room, at home, or anywhere you find five minutes for quiet reflection.
When you subscribe, I’ll send you a weekly five-minute devotion. Read it whenever your schedule allows. Like a spiritual power bar, they’re packed with enough nutrition to get you through to the next meal.

His eyes were down, focused on the stairs. “I’ve walked up and down these eleven steps thirty-one times. But today’s the last day.” He glanced at the couple to his left, and then at me. “She’s gone home.”
How to Stay True to Christ When You’re Tempted to Deny Him (a Lesson from Peter)
