Inviting God Devotional
If we are going to make the shift from how we are living out our faith to who God says we are—and how we are called to embrace the Great Commission—we need some help along the way. The Inviting God Devotional is a 5-day weekly journey into Scripture designed to renew your mind, deepen your understanding, and give practical steps to live out your faith. Use it personally, with your family, or in your Life Group to walk together in God’s purpose. Click Here
