Do you want to desire God more than you desire Him now?
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the task of knowing God and thriving spiritually?
Do you squeeze in moments of rest wherever you can: between client meetings, while nursing, or refereeing toddlers?
Oh Dear One,
I have been praying for you. I have been praying that God would let us be a voice to come along-side, whether you are up nursing a newborn all night, working two jobs as a single mom, a new believer who doesn’t know how to study her Bible, or a long-standing Christian needing spiritual sisters.
May the tips and techniques shared here be useful and beneficial in your own journey. May you find a community of like-thirsty souls willing to hold your hand in this beautifully messy life. And most of all, may the words published here point you to Jesus, so that the Spirit can use His scriptures to nourish your thirsty soul.
For, it is we who thirst, and Jesus says, “Come and drink.” (John 4)

The Devotional Plan Flowchart System is a completely unique method for approaching daily devotions. No matter what season of life you find yourself in, these devotional plans will meet you there.
Created for your own personal needs and abilities, the Devo Flow System takes into account your brainpower, time, and confidence in studying the Bible. You can still meet with Jesus whether you are exhausted or fired-up. Whether you have 5 minutes or 55 minutes, there is a devotional plan for you.
The design of each devotional plan encourages you not only to connect with Jesus through His Word but also to grow in your skill in studying the Bible. Today you may lack all confidence, but over time, you can grow to be someone who loves independent Bible study.
What to Expect
Real-to-Life Content from Scripture
As you dive deeper into the beauties of God’s Word, you will discover His life quenches your thirst. Our content makes the richness and depth of Scripture available with its simple practicality.
Comfort
You have hurts. Maybe your ache comes from the day-to-day difficulties of living in the mundane. But, maybe grief, abuse, trauma, mental illness, chronic pain/fatigue/disease, or burn-out weight you down.
God longs to comfort your soul (2 Corinthians 1:3-7). He never leaves you alone in your hurt, but uses the weariness and pain of life to build greatness in your soul (James 1:2-4). We see the difficulty of accepting and walking in these truths during troublesome times, and want to walk in grace as we limp together in Gospel grace.
Awe
Above all else, we want you to walk through your day more in awe of God and who He is than you did yesterday. May your heart revel in awe and wonder at Jesus’ greatness, character, and love for you.
Practical Insights
Knowing all theology and Bible information does little for you if you don’t know how to apply that information to your life. And if you don’t know how to study the Bible for yourself, you are left to feed from other’s hard work. We will walk with you through the real-to-life situations you find yourself in, offering practical insights on how to manage your devotional times and apply scripture to your life.
A Community of Thirsty Souls
You are not alone! Come, join us who long to see and savor our Savior. Walk with us, as we figure out how the Gospel impacts our day-to-day and moment-to-moment journey of faith.
