When you consider the people in your life, who comes to mind when you think about leaders? Do you appreciate them and what they do?

As I get ready for a new devotional for dads, I was excited to find another one from UNCOMMEN titled Dad Strong. It’s incredible getting the opportunity not only to go through devotionals for dad but also to be able to reach out and connect with the various authors or publishers to ensure they are…

The search continues for dad-related devotions and I found this one titled “The Father Knows Best” by Dr. Tony Evans.

Are you ready for freedom? Are you ready to break free from your dragon(s)? Yesterday we learned about identifying dragons. Today’s devotional calls for us to admit we have a dragon!
