Day 089: Making Sense of the Cycles in Judges (Judges 1-2)
The book of Judges is thrilling, violent, tragic, and painfully repetitive. But Judges is not just Israel’s sin. It is God’s mercy.
-
Day 088: Are you Passing the Baton, or Dropping It? (Joshua 24:31)
Israel served the Lord in Joshua’s day and in the days of the elders who outlived him. But what happens when no one is ready to carry the faith forward?
-
Day 087: Joshua and Yeshua (Joshua 19-21)
How the Old Testament Joshua foreshadows Jesus.
-
Day 085: Caleb’s Different Spirit (Joshua 14:11-12)
At eighty-five, Caleb does not ask for comfort. He asks for a mountain full of giants. His bold faith reminds us how much the church still needs older saints with a different spirit, ready to trust God for one more battle.

Day 083: Obedience is Painful, Disobedience is Deadly (Joshua 5:8-9)
What we try to keep from God, God will expose. But what we entrust to Him, He will protect.
-
Day 079: Does God Really Delight in the Destruction of His People? (Deuteronomy 28:45-47)
When Scripture stretches our theology, it may also be revealing something deeper about both God’s justice and our own stubborn hearts.
-
Day 078: Why do Jews Face East When They Pray? (Deuteronomy 27:11-13)
East was Egypt. East was slavery. East was the wilderness. East was graves in the desert. And yet God used every step of that journey to make His people holy.
-
Day 077: Couldn’t Deuteronomy be More Organized? (Deuteronomy 12:32)
The Torah refuses to be skimmed. It’s not up to me to decide what’s “really” important. Instead of wishing for an index, maybe the right response is worship—thanking God for His law and His grace when we fail.
-
Day 076: Leaders and the Law (Deuteronomy 17:18-20)
Israel’s kings were commanded to write out God’s Law by hand—not to reinterpret it, but to internalize and obey it. The real question isn’t what we know, but whether we live what we claim to believe.

Through the Bible: Deuteronomy 3-4
-
Day 066: A Woman’s Word (Numbers 30:3-5)
Numbers 30 allows a father or husband to overturn a woman’s vow, which can sound troubling to modern readers. But when we step back and look at the whole story of Scripture, we see something deeper: God’s grace for people who say things they later regret. In Christ, even our careless words and broken promises…

Day 064: The Lord in Heaven Laughs (Numbers 23-25)
The story of Balak and Balaam reads almost like comedy: a talking donkey, a king dragging a prophet from mountain to mountain, and twenty-one altars built in a desperate attempt to curse God’s people. But every attempt backfires. The curses become blessings, and even a pagan prophet winds up announcing the coming Messiah. Psalm 2…

Day 028: There I Will Make You a Great Nation (Genesis 46:1-3)
Genesis 46 marks a turning point in God’s promise to Abraham’s family. For the first time, God reveals not just what He will do, but where—forming His people into a great nation not in the promised land, but in exile. Long before Israel ever arrives home, God teaches them how to live faithfully in the…

Day 021: Divine Providence and Family Dysfunction (Genesis 27:5-10)
Genesis 27–29 reads like a case study in family dysfunction—favoritism, deceit, betrayal, and rivalry. Yet through this broken family, God still keeps His promises.

Making Disciples Who Make Disciples (Luke 9-10)
Discipleship isn’t a single dramatic moment—it’s a process with movement. Jesus calls people close, walks with them patiently, releases them gradually, and then trusts them to do it for someone else.
