We are already halfway through the month, and this is a good opportunity to pause for a moment and reflect on the goodness of God. It is easy to focus on what has not happened yet, the prayers that are still unanswered, or the areas where we are still believing for breakthrough. But disciples learn to recognize God’s faithfulness along the way. We learn to celebrate what He has already done while continuing to trust Him for what is still ahead. Take a few moments today to look back over the past couple of weeks. Has God given you strength when you were weary? Has He answered a prayer? Opened a door? Given you peace in the middle of a difficult situation? Has He taught you something through His Word or drawn you closer to Himself? Sometimes the greatest victories are not the ones everyone else can see. Sometimes they are the quiet ways God is working in our hearts, changing us from the inside out. We would love to hear from you. What has God been doing in your life this month? Let’s take a moment as a community to give Him thanks and encourage one another by sharing His faithfulness.

Strong relationships do not happen accidentally. Healthy marriages, friendships, families, and spiritual relationships are all built over time through intentional choices. Prayer together matters. Encouraging one another matters. Time in the Word matters. Learning to listen matters. Learning to crucify selfishness matters. Many people want deep, healthy relationships while avoiding the daily investment required to build them. But anything valuable requires care, consistency, humility, and intentionality. One thing that stands out strongly in this chapter is the reminder to let God speak before emotions take over. That is wisdom for every area of life. When emotions lead, confusion usually follows. When God’s voice leads, clarity begins to come. The healthiest relationships are not the ones that never face challenges. They are the ones where both people continue bringing those challenges back before the Lord and allowing Him to shape the outcome. Relationships built on Christ become stronger because He remains at the center, even during difficult seasons. Take a moment this week and ask yourself honestly: What kind of foundation am I building in the relationships God has entrusted to me? If you’re reading along with us, this is from Chapter 9 of Relationship Goals inside ITC.

Impact Family, you need to listen to this testimony. This sweet woman just testified under the tent, and her testimony is the perfect reminder that your answer doesn’t always show up immediately. You have to keep pushing, keep speaking the Word OUT LOUD! DO NOT QUIT! Your answer may be right on the other side of your next prayer. 🙏

There is a difference between knowing about Jesus and allowing His light to reach every part of your heart. Throughout Scripture, light is always connected to His presence. It brings clarity where there has been confusion, exposes what has been hidden, and reveals the path forward when we cannot see it ourselves. Jesus did not come simply to give us more information. He came to bring us out of darkness and into His marvelous light. Sometimes we resist that light because it reveals things we would rather leave untouched. Yet the Lord never exposes our hearts to shame us. He shines His light so He can heal us, restore us, and lead us into greater freedom. As you spend time with this week’s devotional, invite the Holy Spirit to search your heart. Ask Him to illuminate every place where fear, discouragement, distraction, or old patterns have tried to linger. The closer we walk with Jesus, the brighter His light becomes in our lives, and that light is meant to shine through us into the world around us. THIS WEEK’S DEVOTIONAL is waiting for you inside the classroom. Take some time with the Lord, read it slowly, and allow His Word to speak personally to your heart. We’d love to hear what the Holy Spirit highlights to you as you read.

We live in a world that never seems to slow down. Every day brings new opinions, new headlines, new voices, and new distractions competing for our attention. If we’re not careful, we can spend so much time listening to everything around us that we forget to listen for the voice that matters most. One of the great challenges of the Christian life is learning to quiet the noise long enough to hear what the Lord is saying. God has never struggled to speak, but many times we struggle to listen. We become consumed with what is urgent and lose sight of what is eternal. The book of Revelation begins with a powerful reminder that when Jesus speaks, everything else must come into proper perspective. His voice brings clarity where there is confusion. His presence brings peace where there is anxiety. His truth cuts through the uncertainty that surrounds us and anchors our hearts in what cannot be shaken. This teaching encourages us to lift our eyes above the constant noise of the world and fix our attention on Christ. When we see Him rightly, we begin to see everything else rightly as well. As you watch THIS TEACHING, ask the Lord to sharpen your spiritual hearing. There are few things more valuable than learning to recognize His voice and follow where He leads.
