  • The God Who Pursues Outcasts

    The God Who Pursues Outcasts
    May 4 2025
    we’re reminded through Psalm 147:1-5 that God sees the brokenhearted, binds their wounds, and lovingly gathers the outcast. His love doesn't discard — it restores. Healing might take time, but you’re never walking through the process alone. ✨ Key Takeaways 💡 God gathers the outcast — you are never beyond His reach or concern💡 He binds up wounds that others can't see and that you may carry silently💡 Jesus moves toward the rejected, never away from them (John 9:35)💡 Healing from deep relational hurt often takes time, but God walks with you each step💡 God's love and faithfulness are rooted in His character, not your past 🌿 Intersecting Faith & Life Have past wounds distorted how you view God’s love for you? What truths from Scripture can you speak over your emotions when feelings of rejection or shame rise up? Could journaling through key verses about God's love and pursuit help reshape how you see yourself in His eyes? What would it look like to let God into those places you’ve long kept closed? 📖 Further Reading Jeremiah 31:1–14 | Romans 8:1–4, 31–39 | Isaiah 61:1–3 | John 9:1–38 | 2 Corinthians 5:17 💬 Join the Conversation Have you experienced God’s healing in a season of emotional or relational pain?

When I first read this passage, particularly verse two, it hit deep and brought me to tears. After an intensely painful year that revealed some significant cracks in some of my closest relationships, exacerbated some of my unhealed wounds, and intensified remnants of dysfunction with me, I sought help from a therapist. With her help, I came to recognize ways in which I became the scapegoat in my family of origin. That role, and circumstances it created, caused me to feel perpetually rejected and abandoned. I felt like the unwanted, discarded child left to navigate life alone. In times of pain and stress, those old wounds, and the lies attached to them, pushed to the surface. This used to cause me to react from a place of brokenness, rather than empowered by grace. But I’m no longer the throw away kid because I belong to the God who gathers the outcast. While the Psalmist was likely referring to God’s people, once exiled to Babylon, his words reveal a powerful truth regarding our Savior’s heart. He sees when others treat us poorly and as if we lack worth. He sees the shame lurking in our souls and that holds us captive. He knows precisely how deep every cruel statement and every hurtful act cut. And He moves toward us in our pain. He seeks us out and draws us close. I’m reminded of an event recorded in John 9. To paraphrase, one day, Jesus encountered and healed a man born blind. This miracle left everyone amazed. Astounded, they brought him to the religious leaders who questioned him as to how he’d received his sight. After a tense conversation that probably felt more like an inquisition, the Pharisees declared, “You were steeped in sin at birth …” (John 9:34a, NIV). They basically called him cursed by God, implying that he had deserved his blindness. But notice verse 35: “Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” (NIV). Jesus sought the rejected man out and invited him into an intimate, life-giving relationship with the perfectly loving, always present, eternally faithful Savior. Because again, the Lord gathers the outcasts. Then, as we rest in His strong yet tender embrace, His Spirit within us heals and binds up our wounds. His love makes us whole. Granted, this rarely occurs instantly, or quickly for that matter. Often, His reparation work takes a lifetime. But today’s passage assures us that we don’t have to remain stuck in our brokenness. We don’t have to walk through life feeling like an outcast. We can receive the healing we need to become all God created us to be and to do all He’s called us to do. Intersecting Life and Faith Those of us who grew up feeling unvalued, unseen, and unwanted can unknowingly project those states into our present relationships, including with God. The unhealed places within us can distort our perception, making it hard to trust and receive God’s ...

    Knowing God
    May 3 2025
    Aaron D’Anthony Brown challenges us to reflect honestly on how well we really know God. True intimacy with Him isn’t just about worship on Sundays — it’s about staying close when life feels upside down. Knowing God deeply means choosing Him in every season, especially the hard ones. ✨ Key Takeaways 💡 Saying we know God is different than truly trusting Him in trials💡 Our faith can grow cold if we stop praying, reading, and staying connected to God💡 Knowing God requires consistent relationship — not just when life feels good💡 Scripture helps us learn God’s heart and equips us for seasons of doubt💡 Reminders of truth (verses, prayers, routines) help us return to God when we wander 🌿 Intersecting Faith & Life When was the last time you felt close to God? What was different about that season? How can you build rhythms into your life — like daily prayer or scripture reading — that keep your relationship with God strong? What truths do you need to write down or post somewhere to keep your mind focused on who God is? How might preparing spiritually during “good times” help you stand firm when hard times come? 📖 Further Reading Psalm 27:4 | Romans 5:8 | Jeremiah 29:11 | Hebrews 10:23 | John 15:4 💬 Join the Conversation What’s one way you’ve learned to stay connected to God when life feels heavy? Share your experience with us @LifeAudioNetwork or on Crosswalk.com — your story might encourage someone walking through their own valley. 🎙🎶 SUBSCRIBE to our NEW SHOW — Your Nightly Prayer 🌟 Check out other Crosswalk Podcasts: Crosswalk Talk: Celebrity Christian Interviews Full Transcript Below: Knowing God By Aaron D’Anthony Brown“But even the hairs of your head have all been counted. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” (Matthew 10:30-31, CSB) How well do you know God? Your immediate answer might be something approving but give the question some thoughtful consideration. There’s a young woman I know, a college student, who grew up in church. Her father was a preacher, and her mother was the church’s librarian. She read plenty and sang plenty. If you asked her at the time, she would have told you that she knew God. Not only that, but her relationship with Him was also seemingly tight. Then time passed. She applied for college and did not get into the music school she wanted. Other things started to happen. Other bad things. Suddenly, she was on a path she never requested. Ever since, the woman who once knew God now often only mentions His name as an exclamation or joke. Time after time, I’ve witnessed believers much like her who see themselves as having a profoundly deep relationship with God, and then something terrible happens, and that faith vanishes. I’ve noticed this trend even within myself. We claim we know God, but when crap hits the fan, we forget who He is. We stop trusting, stop praying, stop hoping in the one who gives peace. From there, we turn to our vices, idols, and fellow sinners. While we may like to say we know God well, a more apt answer would be not well enough. If we knew God well, why wouldn’t we always trust Him? He’s always good, isn’t He? Thankfully, there are sure ways to amend this flawed mindset. Intersecting Faith & Life: Finding intimacy with God means knowing Him both when life is great and when life feels terrible. Let’s devise some practical steps to put that idea into practice. Pray Without Ceasing Scripture tells us to pray always. If nothing can separate us from God’s love and He always wants a relationship with us, then there is no good reason to ever stop praying. Prayer is how we communicate, give thanks, make petitions, and in essence, draw closer to Him. Think about your relationships with other people. When you stop talking to friends regularly, there’s a chance that you will grow apart and, at the very least, you won’t think about them as often. We’re not on this Earth to think about God a little or only when convenient. Knowing God is a full-time activity, and prayer helps establish the routine. Read Scripture Taking time to read your Bible will not only make you wiser but will teach you God’s character. From the beginning of the book to the end, we are given insight into what God loves and what He hates, what He expects us to do, and what He wants us to avoid. What we also discover are truths about what knowing God actually means. Truths that help us commit to the act and remind us of the benefits. Remind Yourself If you’re a believer, then the idea of knowing God will seem appealing at face value, and most of the time, that may be the case. However, one way to prepare for those seasons of adversity is to have a game plan in place. During those times, knowing God won’t seem as appealing. Neither will prayer nor reading the Bible. That’s when we forget how good God is, and we stray away from our callings. While not good, that’s certainly normal...

  • God Will Make a Way Because He Is the Way

    God Will Make a Way Because He Is the Way
    May 2 2025
    Ever feel overwhelmed by what’s ahead and unsure how you’ll manage it all? In today’s devotional, Keri Eichberger reflects on John 14:5–6 and reminds us that Jesus doesn’t just show us the way — He is the way. When we stay close to Him, we don’t have to figure it all out alone. He’ll guide us, strengthen us, and walk with us every step of the way. ✨ Key Takeaways 💡 Jesus isn’t simply giving you directions — He is the path through your challenges💡 God doesn’t open doors without also providing what you need to walk through them💡 Your inner doubts don’t cancel out your divine calling💡 Even when you feel underqualified, God’s presence qualifies you💡 Faith means trusting that where God leads, He also equips 🌿 Intersecting Faith & Life Are you facing a new opportunity or responsibility that feels like too much? What would it look like to rely on God’s strength rather than your own today? In what areas have you seen God make a way for you in the past — and how can that encourage your next steps? What small prayer or reminder could help ground you when doubts rise up? 📖 Further Reading Isaiah 30:21 | Proverbs 16:9 | Psalm 32:8 | Philippians 4:13 | Romans 8:14 💬 Join the Conversation Where has God shown up for you when you didn’t see a way forward? Share your story with us @LifeAudioNetwork or on Crosswalk.com. Let’s keep encouraging each other to trust Jesus — the Way, the Truth, and the Life. 🎙🎶 SUBSCRIBE to our NEW SHOW — Your Nightly Prayer 🌟 Check out other Crosswalk Podcasts: Crosswalk Talk: Celebrity Christian Interviews Full Transcript Below: God Will Make a Way Because He is the Way By Keri Eichberger Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.” (John 14:5-6) I feel something brewing. Some fresh glimmers of hope and encouraging change on the horizon. And following a slow stretched out season of what has felt like the same ole, same ole, laced with increased chronic pain, dwindling energy, and swelling isolation, any potential change is welcome. And I give God all the glory for the prospective opportunities that have arisen, including promising pain relief. But even still, there’s this thick thorn that remains in my side. A raging roadblock in my spirit, weighing me down and instilling doubt. It’s the narrative in my inner being. Words of insufficiency and incompetence and flat out inability. I’ve been praying relentlessly for God to work in me and through me—to show me his way. And he has certainly opened some sun-shiny doors. But if I’m being honest, I just can’t see how I can carry out and work through all the things he seems to be calling me to. Do you ever wonder how you will conquer the quests in front of you? How you’ll take on the commitments you’ve committed to. How you’ll take the steps toward the dream opportunities stirring up desire within you? Or just wonder how you'll do it all well? I do. I asked myself, Where will I find the time, the energy, and the mental and emotional capacity? I bet you’ve had similar thoughts. But, I think we are neglecting a truth amidst these circumstances and contemplations. If God truly is the one leading us to these things, won’t he also lead us through these things? I read a familiar verse the other morning in my devotion time, and it spoke truth directly to my wondering wearying heart. In verse five of Chapter 14, in the book of John, the disciple Thomas says to Jesus, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Which is a sentiment many of us feel when we’ve come to a confusing crossroads of potential choices, tasks, or opportunities, joined with what seems to be a lack of ability, margin, and resources. We might ask God, What is all this, and how am I supposed to handle it? But as I kept reading, it was my fresh perspective to the first statement of the following verse—that is so very familiar to us as Christians—that fueled my confidence in the answer to the “how will I manage” thoughts. Verse six reads, “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life.’” Jesus is the way. When we don’t know, or can’t see, the way forward and through. Jesus is the way forward and through. To me, this means that as long as I remain in him and with him, and he is thus also in me and with me, I don’t have to fear my faithful steps and choices. Because the way through will be with me. He will make a way, because he is the way. And he is in me. Just like he is in you. Intersecting Faith and Life: Friend, the Lord led you to where you are. He opened the perfect doors, and he carved the precise path. So keep following him closely, and remain in him always. He will sufficiently strengthen you, steer you, and supply for you all that you need. All the way. Because our sovereign loving Lord is… the way. ...
