Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today Jesus can provide in your wilderness, heal what is broken and multiply what you offer. But today, He asks each of us the most important question we will ever answer. "Who do you say that I am?" Your answer changes everything--because following Jesus instead of ourselves, taking up our cross daily, and living unashamed of His name changes everything. Summary IIn this devotional from Luke 9, Jesus feeds thousands of people in a desolate place. Showing Himself as the faithful Provider who can multiply even the little we place before Him, He turns to His disciples and asks the question every person must answer: "Who do you think I am?" Peter declares that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, and Jesus calls His followers to die to themselves, take up their cross daily, and follow Him. The message challenges us to fully surrender to Jesus, speak truth with love in the public square, and relish the gifts of the Savior.

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today When life feels like a wilderness and what God has given you does not look like enough, will you trust His provision—or grumble for the comforts of the past? Summary In Exodus 16, God provides manna and quail for Israel after He delivers them from slavery, showing that He faithfully supplies what His people need in the wilderness. Yet the people repeatedly complain, disobey God’s instructions, and long for the familiar—even though it was bondage—rather than trusting the God who rescued them. This devotional reminds us that our present struggles are not our final destination, and that God calls us to receive His provision with obedience, gratitude, and rest. Above all, God’s greatest provision is Jesus Christ, whose death and resurrection offer salvation and eternal life. Donate Today - https://fpiw.bndlr.co/ TAKE ACTION Don’t Just talk about it
Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today What if the government—not God—decided your job, your purpose, and where you belonged? This devotional challenges us to reclaim vocation as a personal calling from the Lord, not an assignment from the state or a pursuit of profit alone. Summary God gives every person distinct gifts, roles, and a calling that should be discerned through Scripture, prayer, wise counsel, and the desires He places within us. Drawing on 1 Corinthians 7:17 and Colossians 3:23, this devotional explains that our work is ultimately an act of worship done for the Lord—not merely for an employer, the marketplace, or the government. It contrasts this biblical vision with centralized systems that can treat people as interchangeable units, while also warning that capitalism can reduce vocation to income and profit. The closing prayer lifts up young adults seeking direction and asks God to guide them into the work He has uniquely prepared for them.

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today Your job, your family, your civic involvement, and every responsibility in your day matter—but they are not the main thing. In Luke 9, Jesus sends His disciples out with a clear purpose: proclaim the Kingdom of God and demonstrate His power. The question is: what is the “lead line” of your life today? Summary Drawing from Luke 9, this devotional reminds believers that Jesus sends them into every part of life as witnesses for His Kingdom. While work, family, business, farming, civic responsibility, and stewardship all matter, the gospel of Jesus—His death, burial, resurrection, and saving grace—must remain the central message. Christians are called to be salt and light in the public square, relying first on prayer and God’s power rather than looking to government or personal provision as the ultimate answer. The devotional closes with prayer for Washington’s leaders, businesses, farmers, and communities to receive salvation, wisdom, and a renewed commitment to glorify God.

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today What do you do when the situation feels final—when hope seems gone, faith feels weak, and everyone around you says it is too late? In Luke 8, Jesus walks into a room marked by death and speaks two life-changing words: “Child, arise.” Summary In this devotional from Luke 8:40–56, Pastor Brian Noble reflects on Jesus raising Jairus’s daughter after others had declared that she was dead and beyond help. The message emphasizes that faith is not something we must manufacture perfectly or use as a weapon against people who are suffering; instead, we can bring Jesus both our belief and our doubts, trusting His mercy, timing, and sovereignty. Jesus is able to bring life into places that feel dead—whether a difficult job, a weary heart, a broken relationship, or even a discouraged view of Washington State. The central hope is not in circumstances alone changing, but in Jesus Christ, who ultimately raises the dead and calls His people into abundant life.

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today What if the breakthrough you need begins with one desperate, faith-filled reach toward Jesus? Summary In this devotional from Luke 8:40–48, Pastor Brian Noble reflects on the woman who had suffered for 12 years and was healed when she reached out and touched the fringe of Jesus’ cloak. Her story is a reminder that Jesus sees faith even in a crowd, meets people in their deepest need, and invites the discouraged to come to Him without giving up. The message calls listeners to place their hope not in government, culture, or human leaders, but in Jesus Christ—the One who transforms hearts from the inside out. It closes with prayer for Washington State, its communities, and its elected leaders, asking God to bring repentance, wisdom, healing, and spiritual renewal.

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today Jesus’ sacrifice was once and for all—so why does Ezekiel describe offerings, priests, and temple worship during Christ’s future reign? This devotional opens Ezekiel 46 to explore what these prophecies reveal about remembrance, worship, and the coming King. Summary In this Old Testament Tuesday devotional, Pastor Brian Noble walks through Ezekiel 46 and explains the role of temple worship during the millennial reign of Christ. He connects Ezekiel’s vision with Zechariah’s prophecies, describing “the people of the land” as those who endure the tribulation without worshiping the beast and who ultimately recognize Jesus as the Messiah. The sacrifices described in the chapter are presented not as replacing Christ’s completed work on the cross, but as a continuing, visible remembrance of His atoning sacrifice—much like communion points believers back to Jesus’ body and blood. The central call is urgent and clear: repent, confess Jesus as Lord, trust in His resurrection, and place your hope in Christ alone.

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today Jesus crossed the water for one broken man—and then sent that restored man back home with one powerful assignment: tell everyone what God has done. Summary In Luke 8:26–39, Jesus meets a man tormented and isolated by demons, restores him, and leaves him clothed, healed, and sitting at Jesus’ feet in his right mind. When the man asks to follow Jesus, Jesus instead sends him back to his home and city to proclaim the great things God has done for him. The devotional challenges believers to stop centering their conversations on circumstances—whether good or difficult—and begin speaking about the greatness and goodness of God. Our witness does not have to begin with a theological debate; it can begin with a personal testimony of Christ’s freedom, faithfulness, and transforming power.

Give me 7+ Minutes on your drive into work today When life feels bitter, God can still make the waters sweet—and He remains your strength, your salvation, and your healer. Summary In this Salvation Sunday devotional from Exodus 15, Pastor Brian Noble reflects on Israel’s response after God delivered them through the Red Sea: they sang, praised, and declared that the Lord is their strength, song, and salvation. The message calls listeners to worship God from the heart, recognize Him as the mighty warrior who defeats evil, and respond personally to the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. It also connects Israel’s experience at the bitter waters of Marah to the reality that God provides refreshment, healing, and direction when His people cry out to Him. The devotional closes with a call to repentance, removing idols, loving God and neighbor, praying for civic leaders, and boldly defending biblical values in the public square.

Hijacked commercial airliners flew into the Twin Towers in New York City, with both 110-floor structures of the World Trade Center eventually crumbling to the ground; a plane crashed into the Pentagon, and a fourth hijacked plane was forced to land in a field on 9/11. Native New Yorker and social historian Paul Batura joins us to discuss this historic event and how it changed our nation.
The legacy of Gloria Steinem, a feminist icon, gets mixed reviews. She helped women in legitimate ways (fighting sexual harassment, fair pay, etc.), which are good, but her insistence that men are contemptible, children get in the way, abortion is necessary, and marriage and family are not helpful to women are just a few of the powerful lies we examine that are negatively impacting women today.
Lindsay Clancy, a 36-year-old former labor and delivery nurse, killed her three young children — Cora (5), Dawson (3), and Callan (8 months) — on January 24, 2023, in Duxbury, Massachusetts. She admitted to the killing but pleaded not guilty in her criminal trial, which ended in a mistrial. Is post-partum psychosis and bi-polar disorder enough to take away her criminal responsibility? We examine the case and offer a conclusion.
What happens when we treat family as something we can choose and unchoose? According to author Noelle Mering, it is harmful to both parents and the adult child, but also society. Noelle explains why those swept up in this phenomenon can lose the ability to distinguish the dangerous from the difficult; they end up attacking indiscriminately what is in fact vital. A must-listen!
