Cru is a movement dedicated to helping everyone know someone who truly follows Jesus. In July 2015, over 5,000 Cru staff gathered for a week of inspirational growth - leaving with refreshed hearts and renewed vision. Each of these five devotionals from Cru15 contains a short audio segment from a main speaker (1-2 minutes). Our prayer is that these highlights help you trust God to make your life count.

If you’ve thought, “If only God would meet me like he did people in the Bible!” this devotional is for you. It’s about what happens when God does, indeed, show up. You’ll be surprised by the responses from biblical figures when God “friends” them. That’s the premise of GOD FRIENDED ME, a new CBS series about an avowed atheist named Miles, whose worldview is challenged when he gets a social-media friend request from God.    

Win the battle with yourself by declaring war on the version of yourself that you don't want to be. Discover the thoughts, words, behaviors, and power you need to achieve ongoing victory.

God speaks through all kinds of channels. He’s probably speaking to you right now, but you don’t even recognize it’s Him!

They will help us change how we listen…and then really begin to hear God.

This plan dives into the Scriptures through the lens of the value of the hymnal tradition - how sacred songs outlast us, inform our theology, and meet us in the face of joy and suffering. Join Anchor Hymns - a multigenerational collective of artists who create songs for this particular space in Christian worship - on a 5-day journey through the Bible, impactful lyrics, and the beauty of God.

You may have heard God called “The Great Physician,” but do you know all the ways God provides healing? Healing doesn’t always look the way we expect it, but God always responds to our prayers for healing. Join us in this Bible reading plan to learn about the ways God heals.

Matthew writes to God’s people and walks them on a journey that will take them from where they are to be Disciple Makers. This is the 8th of 27 devotional plans walking us through the book of Matthew.  The final kingdom teaching spells out the dangers and pitfalls that we must avoid.  We then start to see Kingdom living in action.
