2025 Advent Devotional: Darkness, Then Light


It’s not just God who is for us. We’re meant to be supported by a band of saints across dividing lines.

At a time when pastors and ministry leaders struggle with loneliness and isolation, we recognize that we need healthy relationships. What if pastors and ministry leaders were encouraged that it was not only God who was for them (Rom. 8:31) but that a band of saints across dividing lines was supporting them as well?

When tribalism turns us inward, we live like the rest of the world apart from the gospel.

No, our future children or grandchildren will not be evangelized by a robot.
