Worry can take over before you even realize it, but Jesus offers a better way. In this episode, discover how to release control and trust the God who promises to care for you, one day at a time.

Do you ever find yourself replaying the same worries over and over in your mind?

Maybe it’s your finances, your family, your job, or the future. Worry doesn’t make tomorrow better, it just steals today’s peace. But Jesus invites us to do something radical: give our worries away.

In this episode, you’ll hear the true story of J.C. Penney, a man whose worry drove him to the edge, until one quiet moment in a hospital chapel changed everything. Through the words of an old hymn, “God Will Take Care of You,” he rediscovered what it means to trust instead of spiral.

Main Scripture:

Matthew 6:34 – “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”

Supporting Scripture:

1 Peter 5:7 – “Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.”

By the end of this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why worry is a form of misplaced control
• How to release anxiety into God’s faithful hands
• What it means to live in daily dependence on His care

Today’s Challenge:

Write down three things that have been worrying you lately. Then, next to each one, write this phrase: “God will take care of me.” Pray over that list and ask God to help you release what you can’t control and rest in His promise.

When you’ve hit your limit, God hasn’t. In this episode, discover how His grace meets you in weakness, fills what’s empty, and overflows through your life to others.

Ever feel like you’ve got nothing left to give, no energy, no patience, no strength?

The good news is, God never asks you to run on empty. His grace is more than a momentary rescue; it’s a continual supply that meets you right where you are and keeps flowing when yours runs out.

In today’s devotion, you’ll hear the story of a small church that helped erase over $21 million in medical debt for thousands of families. What began as a local act of mercy became a living picture of God’s unending grace—setting people free from debts they could never repay.

Main Scripture:

James 4:6 – “And He gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, ‘God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.’”

Supporting Scripture:

2 Corinthians 9:8 – “And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.”

By the end of this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why God’s grace meets you exactly where you’re weak
• How humility opens the door for God’s provision
• What it looks like to live as a conduit of grace for others

Today’s Challenge:

Ask yourself, “Where do I need God’s grace the most right now?”

Bring that area to Him in prayer: “Lord, I’ve reached my limit, but You haven’t. Give me grace for this moment—and help me extend it to others.”

Then look for one small way to show grace this week—help, forgive, or encourage someone who needs it.

Life wasn’t meant to be lived alone. In this episode, discover how God designed you for connection, and why real community can help you find strength, healing, and purpose again.

Have you ever felt disconnected from people or even from God?

It’s easy to drift into isolation, especially when life gets busy, painful, or disappointing. But God didn’t create you to go it alone. He designed you for community, for belonging, and for relationships that strengthen your faith.

In today’s devotion, you’ll hear the story of a man who walked into church after seven years away, planning to leave unnoticed. But one simple “Hey, glad you’re here” changed everything. Through small acts of kindness and connection, he rediscovered what it means to belong in God’s family.

Main Scripture:

Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 – “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.”

Supporting Scripture:

Romans 12:5 – “so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.”

By the end of this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why isolation keeps us stuck and community helps us heal
• What real belonging looks like in the body of Christ
• How one small step toward others can open the door to renewed faith

Today’s Challenge:

Take one small step toward community this week. If you’re not connected to a church, visit one. If you already attend, find someone standing alone and start a conversation. A simple act of kindness can be the first step toward someone’s healing, and maybe your own.
