Commissioned and Blessed
by Dr. Curt Dodd on September 8th, 2026

Trust God for Justice
by Dr. Curt Dodd on September 5th, 2026

Kept from Seeing
by Dr. Curt Dodd on September 4th, 2026
On the road to Emmaus, the disciples were kept from recognizing Jesus. There are seasons when God seems hidden, but hidden doesn't mean absent. Keep walking—the moment of recognition is coming. Read More

From Your Own People
by Dr. Curt Dodd on September 3rd, 2026
Paul's fiercest opposition came from his own people. Sometimes the greatest resistance to God's calling comes from those closest to you. Keep obeying anyway—God's approval is the only one that matters. Read More

Applaud Tenacity
by Dr. Curt Dodd on September 2nd, 2026
We tend to celebrate winners, but sometimes the most encouraging thing you can do is recognize someone who's still in the race. Tenacity deserves applause. Tell someone you see their perseverance—it might be exactly what keeps them going. Read More

Next to a Roger Bannister
by Dr. Curt Dodd on September 1st, 2026

Choosing Joy In The Midst of Worry
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 31st, 2026

How Does God See Me?
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 30th, 2026
How does God see you? Apart from Christ, you’re an object of His wrath — a target in the scope. But if you’ve turned from sin and trusted Christ, His blood has covered you and you are an object of His blessing, forgiven and secure. Read More

An Encouragement For Mothers
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 29th, 2026
Mothers today face constant pressure from everyone else’s highlight reel. But your Heavenly Father isn’t concerned with how great your family looks online. Years from now your kids won’t remember the posts — they’ll remember how you modeled your faith. Read More

Some Remain Blind
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 28th, 2026
It’s sobering that God would allow someone to remain blind to Him. He won’t force anyone’s eyes open, and even then He won’t force a response. You must come to the point where you choose to fully surrender your life to Christ. Read More

God, Fix It
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 27th, 2026
When pain comes, we pray, “God, take it away.” Sometimes, instead of removing the pain, He draws closer and gives you a fresh glimpse of Himself to see you all the way through it. He often empowers us to walk through the middle of the storm. Read More

Loving Other Believers
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 26th, 2026
“I’ll never go back to that church as long as she’s there.” Anyone who says that has forgotten what it means to be forgiven. You’re still in process, and so are they. God brings different people together — learn to love other believers. Read More

by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 25th, 2026

Release People
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 24th, 2026
We carry a burden for friends and family who’ve wandered off the narrow way. But you don’t have the power to change anyone — that’s the Holy Spirit’s job. Release the people to God and become an intercessor in prayer for them. Read More

A Lifetime Of Surrender
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 23rd, 2026
As God’s children, you never get through saying “yes” to Christ. Have you had that one moment when you turned from sin and placed your faith in Him? Regardless of when or where God sends you, say “yes.” There is joy in obedience and peace in the release. Read More

Even the Ability
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 22nd, 2026
Where did your paycheck really come from? Every ability you have is a gift — even the ability to earn wealth comes from God. Generous giving isn’t about earning favor; it’s about acknowledging whose it really is. Remember where it came from, and give accordingly. Read More

Before He Trusts You
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 21st, 2026
Are you ready for what you’re asking God to give you? Paul waited years before God trusted him with a world-changing platform. Character must be built before calling can be fulfilled. Don’t despise the development — it’s why He’ll trust you with more. Read More

Walk Slow Enough
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 20th, 2026
Are you moving too fast to help anyone? You can’t pour into someone while sprinting past them. Maybe you haven’t invested in anyone lately not because you don’t care, but because you haven’t slowed down to notice. Speed kills relationships. Read More

He Stopped and Looked
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 19th, 2026
When everything goes sideways, what happens? Years of walking together produced a horse that stopped instead of bolting when his rider fell. Invest deeply now, and when crisis hits there won’t be panic — there will be trust. The crisis reveals what you’ve built. Read More

Sit on the Lid
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 18th, 2026
What’s your default setting: giving or hoarding? Everything God made — the sun, the moon, the earth — is designed to give. The tighter you grip, the less satisfied you become. Stop hoarding, start giving. It’s what you were made for. Read More

The Real Stickem
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 17th, 2026
Why do people stay in a church? Not the preaching, the music, or the programs. The real stickem is relationship — people stay because someone invested in their life. That’s the glue. Are you stuck to anyone? Read More

Drive It Till the Wheels Fall Off
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 16th, 2026
The culture has a company line for everything: you need more, newer, better. But godliness with contentment is great gain. Learn to tell the difference between what God is providing and what the world is selling. Read More

Two Ears, One Tongue
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 14th, 2026
God gave you two ears and one mouth — maybe to listen twice as much as you talk. Sometimes people don’t want you to fix it; they just want you to hear it. Close your mouth, open your ears, and be surprised by what you hear. Read More

Snubbed to Another
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 13th, 2026
How do you break a horse without a rodeo? You let it walk beside a mature horse first. That’s how discipleship works — you walk alongside new believers until they’re ready to ride on their own. Who are you snubbed to right now? Read More

Looking Over Their Shoulder
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 12th, 2026
Have you ever talked to someone whose eyes kept drifting over your shoulder? The person standing in front of you is who God has planted you next to for that moment. Stop scanning the room. Look them in the eye. Be all there. Read More

They Will Answer for It
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 11th, 2026
Have you ever been targeted by a religious scam? Biblical generosity is never about paying for a blessing or a formula that guarantees a return. Give joyfully to God — but don’t let anyone con you into thinking your money unlocks His hand. Read More

In the Parenthesis
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 10th, 2026
Where is God when life feels like an interruption? He often does His deepest work in the parenthesis — the unexpected pauses between where you were and where you’re going. The waiting isn’t wasted time; it’s holy ground. Read More

What They’re Not Saying
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 9th, 2026
Are you listening to what people aren’t telling you? A good encourager learns to hear the silence between the words. Ask, then get quiet — create space for people to open up. Listen deeper; hear more. Read More

Too Much Packaging
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 8th, 2026
Have you ever needed a Band-Aid you couldn’t get to? That’s what happens when someone is full of themselves — too much packaging to reach the help they could offer. Strip away the self-importance and be accessible. Read More

Know Your Condition
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 7th, 2026
Do you know where you actually stand? You cannot steward what you refuse to see or manage what you won’t measure. Knowing your condition isn’t a lack of faith — it’s wisdom. Face the facts, then let God show you the next step. Read More

Poison Ivy and Band-Aids
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 6th, 2026

You Are God’s Best
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 5th, 2026

The Reason You’re Here
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 4th, 2026
You’re here today as a follower of Jesus because someone invested in your life. That’s how the gospel has always moved forward — people investing in people. Now it’s your turn: who are you investing in? Read More

Organism, Not Organization
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 3rd, 2026
What kind of thing is the church? Not an organization that runs on structure and systems, but a living organism whose parts depend on one another. When you invest in someone’s life at church, you become connected tissue in a living body. Read More

And the Stops Too
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 2nd, 2026
Have you ever wondered why God allowed something to stop you in your tracks? George Muller wrote three words beside Psalm 37:23 — “And the stops too.” The stops in your life are ordered by God just as much as the steps. Read More

Your Best Days
by Dr. Curt Dodd on August 1st, 2026
Do you believe your best days are behind you? When life takes a detour, it's easy to start looking backward — but God says your best days are not behind you; they're ahead. He is still writing your story, and the best chapters may be ones you haven't even imagined yet. Read More

Throwing the Stick
by Ministry Support on July 31st, 2026
Are you trying to make God's will match yours?
There's a story about an old woman in Scotland who traveled from village to village selling thread and small household items. Whenever she came to a fork in the road, she would take a stick, throw it up in the air, and whichever direction it pointed when it landed, that's the way she would go.
One day, someone saw her throwing the stick, watching it land, picking it up, and throwing it again. And again. And again.
They asked, "What are you doing?" Read More

He Takes Hold of Your Right Hand
by Ministry Support on July 30th, 2026
Do you feel like you're walking through this alone?
Many of us just need to meditate on this scripture, especially when we're going through difficult seasons. When we're wondering, "God, what are you doing? Why am I here? Why are you allowing this to happen—or not happen—in my life?"
Picture what this verse describes. God doesn't just walk beside you. He doesn't just watch from a distance. He takes hold of your right hand.
Think about when you were a child crossing a busy street. Your parent didn't just point you in the right direction and wish you luck. They grabbed your hand. They held on tight. They guided you through the danger. Read More
