Day 20 Genesis 39–40 | Mark 8:31–9:13 “But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.” (Genesis 39:21) My wife is a therapist, and long before we married, she taught me something she still shares with her clients: When you…

Day 19 Genesis 37–38 | Mark 8:11–30 | Psalm 9 “But the Lord sits enthroned forever; He has established His throne for justice.” (Psalm 9:7) I’m writing this from Park City, Utah, where I’m spending a few days with my younger brothers and our wives to celebrate Garrett’s 40th birthday. It’s been years since we’ve…

Day 18 Genesis 35–36 | Mark 7:31–8:10 “And God said to him, ‘Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name.’ So he called his name Israel.” (Genesis 35:10) Genesis 35 is a turning point. God calls Jacob back to Bethel—the very place where He first…

Day 17 Genesis 33–34 | Mark 7:14–30 | Psalm 8 “And he said to them, ‘What comes out of a person is what defiles him.’” (Mark 7:20) In Mark 7, Jesus dismantles the Pharisees’ focus on outward rituals. They thought holiness came from avoiding unclean foods or performing religious acts. But Jesus redirects their attention…

Day 15 Genesis 29–30 | Mark 6:14–44 | Psalm 7 “While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep.” (Genesis 29:9) Rachel’s arrival at the well wasn’t a coincidence. Like Rebekah before her, she appeared at just the right moment—a glimpse of God’s providence. These encounters at the well weren’t random…

Day 14 Genesis 27–28 | Mark 6:1–13 “Then Isaac said to Jacob, ‘Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, to know whether you are really my son Esau or not.’” (Genesis 27:21) Some sins feel small in the moment—just one lie, one compromise, one shortcut to get what we want. But sin…

Day 13 Genesis 25–26 | Mark 5:21–43 | Psalm 6 “I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears.” (Psalm 6:6) Psalm 6 is raw. David is crushed beneath the weight of sorrow, his nights filled with tears and his strength drained by suffering. Yet even in his despair, his…

Day 12 Genesis 23–24 | Mark 5:1–20 “Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah…” (Genesis 24:15) Genesis reveals God’s faithful orchestration in life’s smallest details. Abraham secures a burial site for Sarah, planting a foothold in the promised land—a tangible reminder of God’s covenant. Later, Abraham’s servant prays for guidance in finding a wife for…

Day 11 Genesis 21–22 | Mark 4:10–41 | Proverbs 1 “As the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore…” (Genesis 22:17 NKJV) As a corporate communications executive, I spend my days crafting stories—shaping narratives that inspire, compel, and move people to action. Stories have power. They stir emotions, change…
