30 Bible Leaders in 30 Days

Take the next month’s journey through the lives of 30 Bible Leaders.  They’ll tell a sifted story from their ‘own’ perspective, like you’ve never heard it before!  You can receive daily posts via RSS Exponential feed, at http://feeds.feedburner.com/exponential OR via the Sifted feed, http://feeds.feedburner.com/sifting.

Read as a daily devotional, each story will challenge you as a leader and help you pursue and embrace the stories of sifting that God is writing in your life.

The stories you’ll read are a journey of discovery, researched, written and edited by a team of people connected with the Exponential Conference.  We’re church planters too.

The danger with this kind of thing is that it can be a distraction from the power that Scripture has in our lives when we engage it directly.  We don’t intend this to replace anything written in Scripture or even to hold up the perspectives and insights given as historically true.

Instead, consider these a meditation on the familiar stories we love and continue to engage.  Look at them in a new way.  Put yourself in the shoes of Abraham, Elijah, Peter and as you think about the times in your experience where you’ve been (or are being) sifted… think about their response in a deeply  personal way.

Learn from their mistakes. Learn from their victories.  Learn from their brokenness, their greatness of heart, their faith in a God that loves them in any circumstance.

Know that He loves you too.  Know in your bones that He will never forsake you.  Know that His plan is for you to be everything He has created you to be.

Even as you are Sifted.
