The Midweek Lift: Fuel for Your Faith. Nov. 5th, 2025

Welcome to the midweek lift! These are articles I have found helpful, hopeful, and interesting. My prayer is that these will help you lead well, live faithfully, one Wednesday at a time.

Article 1: Why You Can Confidently Pray for the Most Hardened Sinner You Know
Tim Challies reminds us that as believers in Jesus, there is proof that God can bring a dead soul to life, and therefore, your prayers are never wasted!

Article 2: 9 Simple but Effective Strategies to Get Through a Bad Day
I love this article by Carey Nieuwhof because whether you lead yourself, one person, or many people, we all have bad days! This article is full of practical and helpful advice on how to lead well, even when your day is going badly!

Article 3: Losing Our Words: The Decline of Reading and the Rise of Reels

Alistair Chalmers challenges us as Christians to be readers more than just viewers! This quote was so impactful to me: “But for Christians, reading isn’t (or shouldn’t be) just a hobby; it’s central to our faith. Ours is a revealed faith—a faith built on words, not images. God chose to speak, and those words were written down. The Bible is not a video reel or an infographic. It is a book—one that requires careful attention, time, and meditation.”

Next Steps: If you are looking for a Bible reading plan, then I have some for you at Bible Reading Plans. Also, if this mid-week lift was helpful to you, share it with someone else!
