1. Jesus Meets the Messes: A 40-Day Devotional for Messy, Broken People (Like Me!)

When Jesus Walked This Earth, He Spent Time With the Messes...

A lonely thief.

An unwelcome dinner guest.

A death-row criminal facing his final hours on earth.

What do all of these people have in common?

They all faced the messiness of life. Some made the mess themselves. Some were thrown headfirst into a mess through no fault of their own.

Then something changed. It wasn't that they suddenly became unmessy. But they each came face to face with Jesus, and he invited them to be part of God’s story. He didn’t leave them out.

This 40-day devotional looks at eight encounters Jesus had with messy, broken people. In short, daily readings, you'll explore each story and see how Jesus met each person in their mess.

The eight stories we'll be walking through together are:

• Jesus Meets The Lonely Thief
• Jesus Meets The Know-It-All
• Jesus Meets The Unwelcome Dinner Guest
• Jesus Meets The Woman Who Was Exploited
• Jesus Meets The Sick Woman & The Dead Girl
• Jesus Meets The Blind Man With Perfect Vision
• Jesus Sees The Invisible Widow
• Jesus Meets The Honest Criminal

Whether you've been following Jesus your whole life or have never cracked open a Bible, Nobody Left Out: Jesus Meets the Messes will remind you that God's love is big enough for everyone….

He doesn’t want anyone left out!

2. Jesus & the Way of Sorrows: A Messy, Broken Journey Through the Stations of the Cross 

We all want a world where God shields us from suffering. But Jesus' final day on earth is a reminder that God is in the suffering with us. When we walk the broken road with Jesus, light glimmers in darkness, and hope peeks out from despair.

Every Easter Sunday, Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. But the empty tomb is not a story of instant hope. It's the end of a long journey marked by suffering.

The painful road Jesus traveled on the day of his death is known as the "Way of Sorrows." It begins with Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane and ends with his body placed in the tomb. In between, the drama of Jesus’ arrest and crucifixion plays out for all to see.

Nobody Left Out: Jesus & the Way of Sorrows is a journey with Jesus through these final 18 hours of his life. It uses the Scriptural Stations of the Cross—a devotional exercise practiced across many Christian traditions—as a guide.

As you travel with Jesus and stop at fifteen scenes along the road, you'll:

• Enter the drama and experience the story from the perspective of each character.
• Find comfort in knowing that Jesus understands suffering and is with you in your pain.
• Reflect on questions to help you see Jesus in new ways.
• See that even in personal times of sorrow, you can dare to have hope because of how the story ends.

Whether you've been following Jesus your whole life or have never cracked open a Bible, Nobody Left Out: Jesus & the Way of Sorrows will show you that Jesus is with you in the hard times…

He traveled down the sorrowful road because he doesn't want anyone left out!

3. Waves of Grace: A Messy, Broken, 40-Day Adventure Through the Book of Jonah

The Book of Jonah Is More Than a Fish Tale…

Jonah is one of the most famous stories in the Bible. Your classic "guy meets fish" story.

Guy meets fish. Fish swallows guy. Fish spits guy out on God's command.

It's easy to view Jonah as a nice little Bible story with a clear moral: Obey God or get eaten by a whale. (Or big fish.)

But it's so much more than that!

Jonah flips everything we'd expect from a Bible story upside down. It uses humor and irony to share a profound message of grace.

In the book of Jonah…

• A man of God looks like a fool, and pagans come out smelling like roses.
• Ships have personalities, prophets throw tantrums, and worms teach lessons.
• God has compassion for our enemies and asks us to do the same.
• We discover how much God loves us in the middle of our mess.

Nobody Left Out: Waves of Grace is a 40-day devotional through Jonah's story. In short, daily readings, we'll join Jonah on his adventure and see ourselves in each mess he creates.

Whether you grew up with the story of Jonah or have never cracked open a Bible, Nobody Left Out: Waves of Grace will show you the depths of God's love for messy, broken people....

He doesn't want anyone left out!

4. A Walk With Jesus Down Hope Road

"We had hoped…"

Those might be the three most relatable words in the whole Bible.

Who hasn't hoped for something? And—maybe more importantly—who hasn't been disappointed by a hope gone unfulfilled?

I had hoped he would quit drinking… she would come back… the cancer would be gone for good…

The list goes on.

On the very first Easter Sunday, two of Jesus' friends faced their own "I had hoped" moment. This poignant story, known as the Road to Emmaus, is one of the most beautiful narratives in the Bible.

Two people walk along a road, heartbroken that Jesus has died. Jesus joins them on their walk, but they don't recognize him. Slowly, though, hope returns to their weary hearts.

In this short book, we'll join these two friends on the road to Emmaus as Jesus walks them through five different mile markers:

• Broken Road
• Disappointment Road
• Suffering Road
• Redemption Road
• Hope Road

Throughout the journey, we'll reflect on our own disappointments and trials, never losing sight that Hope Road is just around the bend.

So, go grab a comfortable pair of shoes…

It's time to take a walk with Jesus down Hope Road.
