How would you describe your life right now? Awesome? Miserable? If you're like most people, you will describe your life as all the things that you do each day, including perhaps all the relationships you have. Of course, that is your life. But is that all there is to your life? Sadly, if that's all we think about life, we will miss out on what real life is all about. In this devotional we want you to learn that there is a kind of life that is so much better than the best life you can ever imagine.

Jesus said, ‘Come, follow me.’ Have you ever thought to ask, ‘Where are we going?’ What do you do when following Jesus leads to some unexpected and undesired places? Do you pray, ‘God bless me, but don’t mess with me.' What does it mean to follow Jesus? What’s God’s purpose for your life? Why does the pursuit of God often lead to seasons of difficulty? How does God go about changing the world? How does God go about changing you?

Starting with a call to follow Jesus and carrying through to His death, the reader will be visually transported into these important moments in Jesus’ history. Join with God on the way of the cross in this video-based, 7-day reading plan and allow it to revolutionize the way you engage with God’s Word.

What will be your legacy? We often think about the material things we plan to leave to our children.

Reading and praying the Psalms is a humble pilgrimage. The various authors, including King David, share their innermost thoughts and struggles in their relationships with others and the One True God.

Each day’s study includes an option to pray through that day’s Psalm with grace-filled intentionality.

This 7-day plan invites you to pursue God’s glory, instead of unrewarding self-focus, and live the life God created you for by choosing significance over success. These devotionals will help you recognize the exhausting emptiness of pursuing success and find liberation from a life without purpose.
