Impact For Living

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Proverbs 31:8

Who will stand, step out, and go?  Never forget that throughout our history, American Heroes have stepped up and said, “Send Me!" Remembering Memorial Day: impactforliving.com/memorial-day-t…

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend. It’s a day to remember those who gave their lives so others could live in freedom. “The liberty we enjoy today is not a gift—it has been paid for at great price.” A Memorial Day reflection from Impact For Living: impactforliving.com/are-we-worthy/

One of the earliest Memorial Day observances took place in Charleston in 1865, when newly freed Black Americans honored fallen Union soldiers with proper burials, hymns, flowers, and a 10,000-person procession. Today we continue that annual tradition recognizing that our freedom and liberty has always come with sacrifice. Remember the fallen, pray for their families, and recommit ourselves to building a nation worthy of that sacrifice. May we all take time to pause and honor those who lost their lives in service to this nation. 🇺🇸

We honor the memory of those who never came back. #MemorialDay2026

Remember, in moments where you wonder “why” or “what’s next,” God already knows, and He is actively at work for your good. Be on the lookout for what He will send your way, for your good, and to impact the world around you. This week's podcast: impactforliving.com/from-the-pit-t…

Sometimes faith feels loud and confident. And sometimes it feels like trying to hear a gentle whisper in the middle of exhaustion, fear, & uncertainty. At times, life feels heavy — yet God has not left us alone. “The Lord…has us.” Read more at impactforliving.com/thou-o-lord-al…

What we dwell on late at night—fear, bitterness, gratitude, hope—has a way of forming us. One of the quiet truths in Psalm 63: what fills your mind shapes your heart. “I remember You upon my bed, and meditate on You in the watches of the night.” #Leadership #Psalm63

David wrote Psalm 63 while in the wilderness. Not after everything was fixed. Not after life got easier. In the wilderness. And still he said: “Because Your steadfast love is better than life…” Faith doesn’t wait for perfect circumstances. #Faith #Psalm63

Faith is not standing still. Nor is the Christian life is not about perfection — it’s about pursuit. Keep moving toward Him.

Psalm 63 reminds me that the deepest hunger we carry isn’t for success, recognition, or comfort—it’s for God. “My soul thirsts for You…” The challenge is that we often try to satisfy a spiritual thirst with temporary things. #Psalm63

Your identity is not your accomplishments. Not your reputation. Not your title. Not even your mistakes. “Our citizenship is in heaven.” Phil 3:20 When we remember where we belong, it changes how we live here.

“A space forever in their hearts the exact shape and size of each child God places into their lives.” This beautiful devotional reflects on the lasting, sacrificial love of a mother’s heart — through memories, tears, joy, and grace. Read here: impactforliving.com/the-love-of-a-…

One of the great dangers in life is living in the past — past failures, past pain, even past successes. Paul’s answer: “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead…” Phil 3:13 Grace gives us permission to move forward.

Paul had status, achievement, and influence, yet still called it loss compared to knowing Christ. The world tells us to build our résumé. Chase power. Jesus calls us to surrender our hearts. “Whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.” Phil 3:7

Whether we're stuck in traffic jams or just in other moments of all kinds in our day, “Now” is a pretty important place to be. impactforliving.com/last-calls-in-…
