We are dedicating this last week to one kind of relationship in particular: your spouse or your future spouse. As the majority of Christians are called to marriage, and as your marriage partner is to be the most important human in your life, we think it’s worth spending a whole week on. But before we…

Ready for the weekend? We have two different endeavors for you. The first part will be difficult to track, but it may be one of your most eye-opening experiences so far. This weekend, pay attention to the people around you. This doesn’t mean being nosy or staring. It means being aware of signals that someone…

Today’s task involves remembering someone who has left your city for a designated amount of time and doing something nice for them. You have two options for today. The first option is to think of someone you know personally from your community who is serving in the military. If you don’t know anyone in the…

Today’s task has two parts. First, spend time praying for your country’s leaders.

Forgive one person you are holding a grudge against. Maybe the person apologized to you already, and you refused to forgive them. Maybe you verbally forgave them but really haven’t let the situation go. Maybe you still have a bad attitude about something someone did to you or said about you. After some prayer, approach…

Think of two people from among your friends and siblings. It doesn’t matter if you know them well or if you have just met, but they should be people in whom you are willing to invest intentionally. Give each of them a call today and ask them two questions: 1) How can I pray for…

Today’s task is to write a letter or card of appreciation to one of your parents (or parental figures). Tell them how much they mean to you. Be specific. Don’t just thank them for always being there and providing for you. Thank them for helping you through a specific situation or for a certain piece…
