Parenting can feel like herding cubs across a busy road—frustrating, exhausting, and never-ending. But today’s devotion brings hope from God’s Word for every weary parent who wonders if their love is really making a difference.

Ever feel like no one sees how hard you’re working to love your kids well?

Maybe you’re tired of repeating yourself, praying the same prayers, or feeling like you’re getting nowhere. Today, we’ll look at one mama bear’s chaotic street-crossing adventure and what Galatians 6:9 says to every parent who’s wondering, “Is any of this working?”

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• Why your everyday love matters more than you think
• What Scripture promises to those who keep showing up, even when they feel worn down
• One truth to hold on to when parenting feels more frustrating than fruitful

We only get one life—and it’s easy to waste it chasing things that don’t matter. In today’s devotion, we’ll hear what Jesus and hospice patients have in common when it comes to living a life you won’t regret.

What would you do differently if you knew your time was almost up?

That’s the question one palliative care nurse asked her dying patients—and what they shared is a wake-up call for the rest of us. Jesus told a story in Luke 12 about a man who had it all—except what mattered most. Let’s talk about how you can live a life of peace, not regret.

Loneliness is more than a feeling—it’s a silent epidemic. But today’s devotion offers hope for when we feel alone and reminds us that even when we feel isolated, we are never truly alone.

Have you ever felt invisible—even when you’re surrounded by people?

In May 2023, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy called loneliness a national public health crisis. He warned that chronic social isolation increases the risk of premature death by almost 30%. And one study found that heavy social media use more than doubles the chances of feeling isolated. But there’s good news: long before the Surgeon General’s advisory, God had something powerful to say about loneliness.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• Why loneliness is more widespread—and more dangerous—than most people realize
• What God’s Word says about your worth, your belonging, and your place in His family
• A powerful first step toward connection and how the Church can be part of the healing

If today’s episode reminded you of someone who may be feeling alone, would you share it with them? Your message could be the lifeline they need.
