844 A Better Country Hebrews 11:13–16 (Jesus Is Better, Part 31) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Friday, September 11th: Enrich your faith begins at 10:01. Hebrews 11:13–16 describes faithful people who died without seeing every promise fulfilled. They lived as foreigners and temporary residents while seeking a better country prepared by God. Through Jesus, we can live faithfully here while knowing this broken world is not our permanent home—and God is not ashamed to be called our God. Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions. I'd love to hear from you!

Read excerpt
Thursday, September 10th: Hebrews 11:11–12 remembers Sarah as someone who trusted the faithfulness of God even when His promise seemed humanly impossible. Her story reminds us that faith isn’t the absence of questions or struggle. Faith looks honestly at our limitations and rests in the character of the One who made the promise. Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions. I'd love to hear from you!

Wednesday, September 9th: Hebrews 11:8–10 shows Abraham obeying God’s call even though he didn’t know where he was going. He lived as a foreigner in the promised land while looking forward to the permanent city built by God. Faith obeys without having every detail, waits when the promise seems delayed, and trusts God with the destination. Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions. I'd love to hear from you!
841 Faith Builds Before the Rain Hebrews 11:7 (Jesus Is Better, Part 28) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tuesday, September 8th: Hebrews 11:7 shows that Noah trusted God’s warning about events he could not yet see. His faith became visible through years of practical obedience as he built the ark that God provided for his family’s rescue. Noah reminds us that faith does not need to see the outcome before obeying—it acts because God has spoken. Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions. I'd love to hear from you!
840 Faith That Pleases God Hebrews 11:4–6 (Jesus Is Better, Part 27) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Monday, September 7th: Hebrews 11:4–6 introduces Abel and Enoch. Abel’s faith shaped his worship, while Enoch’s faith shaped a lifetime of walking with God. Their stories remind us that God sees beyond religious actions to the heart of the worshiper. Without faith it is impossible to please Him, and the greatest reward for those who seek God is God Himself. Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions. I'd love to hear from you!
