  • Trusting God's Light When Darkness Creeps In

    Trusting God's Light When Darkness Creeps In
    Oct 13 2025
    Aaron D’Anthony Brown reminds us that even in the midst of fear, suffering, or societal pressures, we can trust in God’s light. Drawing on Psalm 56:3, this devotional encourages believers to approach God honestly, commit to Him consistently, and seek strength in community so that darkness does not have the final word. Highlights Darkness and suffering are inevitable in a fallen world, but God’s faithful love remains constant. Honest, earnest prayer aligns our hearts with Christ and brings hope even in difficult circumstances. Commitment to God involves daily devotion, prayer, and active participation in His community. Surrounding yourself with supportive believers strengthens faith and reduces the grip of fear. Trusting God allows His light to shine through life’s challenges, replacing fear with faith. Join the Conversation How do you respond when darkness creeps into your life? Are you leaning into God’s presence and trusting His light, or trying to face struggles alone?

Imagine that this excitement is directed at people like you, with your values and beliefs. Now, imagine society actively trying to bring about death and violence in your life and the lives of those you love. There are places like that in this world. That’s a harsh truth on top of the everyday things that already make us feel sad, lonely, hurt, and afraid - relationships, financial struggles, loss. No matter when you come into this world, or where, there’s always suffering. When the darkness creeps in, there are a few steps you should take to ensure the darkness doesn’t win. We may be tempted to give up, and tempted to give in, but we certainly don’t have to. We never do. Talk Earnestly to God Perhaps you know this, but don’t quite believe it. God wants to hear from you. Yes, He knows what darkness has crept into your life, and the truth is, He has allowed it. Yet, at the same time, God cares. And if He cares, then there must be a reason for the suffering. Ask Him why. Talk openly and honestly about the pain. In Psalm 13, David sings to God, asking some rather tough questions about his suffering. “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?” Imagine saying that to someone or someone saying that to you. We don’t talk to God to inform Him but rather to conform ourselves to the image of Christ. David knew he could approach the throne, but knew that God was in control of everything. That’s why, after these deep questions for God, he ends on a note of optimism. He has decided to “trust” in God’s “faithful love.” Commit Yourself to God Yes, committing yourself to God involves prayer, but it also involves so much more. Many who consider themselves to be Christians only talk to God when calamity hits. They plead for God to help and often thank Him when He does, but afterward, the Lord is yet again an afterthought until the next crisis hits. If you want solid trust in God, then you have to start with commitment. Pray when life is down, but also when things are looking up. Go to church and get involved, even in a small capacity. Read Scripture and meditate on God’s Word daily. The more you think about the Lord and His righteousness, sovereignty, and power, the less of a stranglehold the darkness will have over you. You’ll be tempted to fear, but you won’t because you’ll remember the Truth. Find Strength in Others God did not design the first man to be alone, nor did he create us to be alone. He made us for community. When you fall short, and you will, because we all do, find support in those around you. Surround yourself with people who will bring out the best in you. Likewise, seek to bring out the best in them. When we strengthen one another, the bad times don’t hurt as much. Intersecting Faith & Life: No matter how many devotionals you read, how much time you spend in the Word, or how often you pray, darkness will creep into your life. We reside in a fallen world, which means suffering is inevitable. No matter how low or high we are in society, we all face some form of suffering. The question is, how will we respond? As a believer, you have the choice of giving into the darkness, but the better, and obviously wiser option is to choose God. Remember how he has come through for you in the past. Write those blessings down. Get a friend to remind you. Remember, and whenever the darkness appears again, you won’t forget. Further Reading: John 15:18 Proverbs 3:5-6 ...

  • Run Hard and Fast in Faith

    Run Hard and Fast in Faith
    Oct 12 2025
    Whitney Hopler reminds us in Run Hard and Fast in Faith that each day is a gift from God, and we are called to live it with purpose, wonder, and faith. Drawing from 1 Timothy 6:11-12, this devotional encourages believers to seize the life God has called them to, embracing His love, pursuing righteousness, and living intentionally for eternal impact. Highlights Every day is a gift from God, filled with opportunities to live intentionally. Pursue a righteous life marked by wonder, faith, love, steadiness, and courtesy (1 Tim. 6:11-12). Recognizing God’s work in our lives strengthens faith and inspires action. Living with intention helps us focus on what has eternal value, despite daily distractions. Running hard in faith brings us closer to Jesus and aligns our lives with His purpose. Join the Conversation What does “running hard and fast in faith” look like in your daily life? How can you focus more on God’s work and presence today? Share your reflections, inspire others to live intentionally, and join the conversation with @LifeAudioNetwork using #RunInFaith #SeizeTheDay #FaithInAction. 🎙🎶 SUBSCRIBE to our NEW SHOW — Your Nightly Prayer 🌟 Check out other Crosswalk Podcasts: Crosswalk Talk: Celebrity Christian Interviews Full Transcript Below: Run Hard and Fast in FaithBy: Whitney Hopler Bible Reading:“Pursue a righteous life – a life of wonder, faith, love, steadiness, courtesy. Run hard and fast in the faith. Seize the eternal life, the life you were called to, the life you so fervently embraced in the presence of so many witnesses.” – 1 Timothy 6:11-12, The Message These Bible verses were on the front page of a memorial service program for one of my father’s close friends. Aubrey (who went by the nickname “Smitty”) was known for living each day to the fullest. He found a lot to enjoy as he lived each day with an awareness of God’s presence. As a high school English teacher, Sunday School teacher, father, husband, and community volunteer, Smitty passed along his joy to lots of people during his earthly life. He was able to do so because he was intentional about pursuing a righteous life of running hard and fast in the faith, as the Bible encourages us all to do in 1 Timothy 6:11-12. Every new day God gives us is a gift. The fact that the sun rises in the morning is only because God designed it to do so. Even the fact that we can take our next breath when we need it is because God gives it to us. Each day, and all the opportunities it brings us, are gifts from our loving and generous God. When we really think about it, we can see how every day is a miracle! God wants us to open the gift of each day and use it to the fullest, not drift through it casually without appreciating its value. God calls us to do much more than live dull, routine lives. These Bible verses encourage us to live righteous lives where we pursue wonder, faith, love, steadiness, and courtesy. Each of these qualities is an important part of making the most of our time each day. When we open our eyes to the wonder of God’s work around us, our faith can grow stronger because the more we see of God’s wonder, the more we’re inspired to seek closer relationships with him. Our stronger faith opens us up to receive more of God’s love and share it with others. Then, as we put God’s love into action, we can live with more steadiness and courtesy in all situations. Living like this – running hard and fast in faith – we can experience the meaningful lives God wants us to enjoy. We can seize the life God has called us to and spend our valuable days focusing on what matters most. On some days, we may get distracted as we deal with challenges that come up in our schedules. But if we go into each day with the intention to run hard and fast in faith through it, we’ll usually be able to take advantage of the best opportunities God gives us. We’ll be able to set our minds on what has eternal value, live into our God-given purpose, and enjoy the process! Running hard in faith is worthwhile because Jesus is worth it. Every step we take in faith brings us closer to Jesus and closer to the life we were created for. So, let’s open and enjoy the gift of each day God gives us. Let’s live each day like the miracle it truly is! Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider how to run hard and fast in faith to live each day to the fullest, reflect on these questions: What would “running hard and fast in the faith” look like in your daily life?Where are you most tempted to chase after activities that don’t last, and how can you redirect your focus toward God? How can you discover more of the wonder of God’s work in your daily life and become more aware of God’s presence with you? In what ways can gratitude for what God is doing in your life change your perspective on the challenges you face right now? Who can you encourage this week to keep running their own race of faith ...

    In the Beginning
    Oct 11 2025
    Wondering about the power of God’s Word and your own calling? Megan J. Conner reflects on John 1:1-5, showing how God’s Word has been present since the beginning, creating life and shining light into the darkness. This devotional reminds us that we carry God’s light within us and are called to bear it in the world. Highlights God’s Word existed from the beginning and created all life (John 1:1-3). The light of God penetrates darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it (John 1:4-5). Believers carry God’s light within them, called to be ambassadors of His mission (Matt. 5:14). God’s Word guides, transforms, and shapes our lives, even fulfilling dreams He places in our hearts. Personal stories illustrate how God fulfills His promises in unexpected and meaningful ways. Join the Conversation What dreams or callings has God placed in your heart? How are you letting His light shine through your life today? Share your reflections and encourage others to trust God’s Word.

Conner Bible Reading:“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:1-5 (NIV) It was 2001, and I was working in a faith-based coffeeshop and bookstore (a revolutionary concept back then), when a man struck up what would be a life-altering conversation with me. He had traveled up from Los Angeles to my city and stumbled across our unique shop. He started chatting and shared with me that he had formed his own Christian theater company. As an actor, dancer, choreographer, and director within the performing arts arena myself, this was beyond inspiring. Something in my spirit leaped inside of me, and I had this glimpse, this knowing, that one day I would walk in similar footsteps. I daydreamed while he continued to talk, and I imagined a dark stage illuminated by a single light and this exact scripture from John chapter 1, echoing through the auditorium. To this day, nearly 25 years later, the impact of that scripture has never left me. It has become deeply etched into my heart and has served as an anchor to my soul in both the good times and the bad. In the beginning was the Word. The Bible tells us that God is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. The One who was, and is, and always will be (Rev. 1:8). He was there before the foundations of the world, and through his WORD all life was created (Gen. 1). Isn’t that incredible? As someone who studies and practices the craft of writing and spends most of her days considering, sharing, and utilizing words, it is beyond humbling to recognize the weight of language and its power to form and transform. Yet God did not just create the world with words; He gave us His Word to guide and direct us through life, to share His unfathomable love for us, and to direct us towards Him at all times. Truly, nothing has been made, nor will be made, without His expressed direction, acknowledgment, and permission. He then goes on to establish that all of these works were made by and through Him, that in Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. That light pierces through the darkness of the world, of hearts, of lives, and the darkness cannot overcome it. God boldly declares that all life, every aspect of creation, from the smallest atom to the vast constellations, was made through Him. And, in the midst of all life is the light of God, Himself. That means that you and I carry the weight and the glory of the Lord within us. Within the very fiber of our beings, we carry with us the light of the Lord. We are the light of the world (Matt. 5:14). What a weighty and holy calling! The infinite, universe-creating God has embedded into you His Word and His light. He came before us to make a way so that we could follow in His footsteps and continue on as ambassadors for His mission. You are His own. He created and chose you to bear His light to the world. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it,” John 1:5 (NIV). For those interested, nearly ten years after that initial dream of a stage production beginning with this treasured scripture, I did in fact write, direct, and produce a full-length work that shared the gospel through the story of Christmas. It opened with this very scripture, a dark stage, and a single light. Don’t give up on the dreams God places in your heart. You never know when He will bring them to fulfillment. ...
