Incredibly talented Christian musician Ben Fuller shared his powerful and moving testimony during a prison concert.

Sin has done a number on our world, wrecking and utterly destroying everything imaginable. It has obliterated relationships and careers and upended entire lives. As a result of sin, it has created a world that is a lost place full of broken people who are hurting and calling out for help.

Everyone on Earth is a sinner, with the Bible stating that all have fallen short of the glory of God. While all have sinned and turned away from God, the prison system is full of people serving time after having run afoul of the law. Rightly or wrongly, many would consider the people who make up the prison population to be the worst of the worst. But God also sent His son for them as well. His love and forgiveness can redeem those men and women and make them a new creation in Christ.

In a clip posted on social media, Ben Fuller shows how the Lord saved and changed his life while performing for prisoners in California’s San Quentin prison. Ben mentions how, for more than a decade, he was an addict, but because of the power, love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ, he is no longer that person.

He states how, while he was still an addict, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee, hoping to become a country music star. However, as Ben soon learned, God had other plans for him. He was invited to church one Sunday, and that invitation forever changed him.

“And as a man that lived as a secret drug addict for 14 and a half years, I stood in that aisle way, and I felt the spirit of God,” Be said. “Romans 10:9 says, ‘If you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior, and God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. And I did just that, standing there in the aisle just by myself. I gave my full heart over to the Lord, and I said, ‘Fix it! You do it because I can’t!’”

The video ends with Ben telling the prisoners that God is not done with them. They have a purpose, and Ben tells them God has them where they are for a specific reason.

Romans 10:9 “Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation.”

How does “life” go when we trust only in ourselves? #toughquestionsforgod #dailydevotion #toughquestionsforgoddailydevotions

Several years ago, during a time of prayer and fasting, God inspired Bill to write " Letter to the Church in America".

If life is “good” when following God, what’s it like when we don’t follow God? Any surprises? #toughquestionsforgod #dailydevotion #toughquestionsforgoddailydevotions

A child was able to remain calm and call 911 during her mother’s medical emergency, helping to save her life. 

Remaining calm during highly intense, high-pressure situations is a significantly underrated and invaluable skill. Everyone, at one time or another, will encounter circumstances when making the right decision correctly under pressure will make all the difference. It may come up at work, home, the grocery store or someplace else.

When those high-pressure situations happen, many people lose their cool and buckle when it’s time to come through in a big way. However, others can keep their heads, stay calm and provide assistance, even lifesaving help, when the circumstances call for it. That was precisely what one little girl, 5-year-old Zoey, did during a medical emergency.

A clip posted on YouTube states that Zoey helped save her mother’s life when she fainted as she experienced a seizure-like episode. That had to have been a terrifying experience for the youngster. Most people, let alone children, would have lost their composure, at least for a few moments.

But Zoey was able to remain calm during the situation.

The young lady, after her mother fainted, reached out to 911. The short clip includes a portion of the call to emergency services. Zoey is calm, cool and collected. She tells the operator exactly what happened and who she has already contacted about the situation.

Not only that, but Zoey’s mother states that her daughter provided “100% accurate information.”

So, how could someone so young stay calm during such an intense situation? Zoey credits her breathing for allowing her to help save her mother’s life.

“I took 10 deep breaths,” Zoey said. “I took 10 deep breaths. So, I calmed down. I was panicking, but I calmed down.”

This child is not only a hero but is wise enough to know that remaining calm during such a situation is crucial to being able to help others.

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.”

Ever try and fix a problem in yourself, only to realize that you can’t? #toughquestonsforgod #dailydevotion #toughquestionsforgoddailydevotion

Part 1 highlights fatherlessness's profound impact on young men in our modern-day society. Born into a world of addiction, violence, chaos, and fatherlessness... Willie shouldn't be alive today... but for the grace of God. Coming in 2025: Part 2 - A Father to the Fatherless: The Loving Discipline of Our Heavenly Father Psalm 68:5–6: "A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows, Is God in His holy habitation. God makes a home for the lonely; He leads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only the rebellious dwell in a parched land." Quotes on Fatherlessness: "Fatherlessness is the most destructive trend of our generation.” - David Blankenhorn “Fathers are the cornerstone of society, for good or for ill. Strong, engaged, present fathers will yield a strong, secure, and good society. Weak, distracted, absent fathers will yield a weak, crumbling, and confused society." - William Wolfe *Statistics on Fatherlessness: - Father absence as a predictor of violence is robust for both male and female violence. - 70% of juveniles in state-operated institutions come from single-parent homes. - Most adolescents who enter the justice system have suffered from parental abandonment, substance abuse, or a dysfunctional household. - It has been reported that fatherless children are anywhere from 3 to 20 times more likely to be incarcerated than children raised in dual-parent households. - 71% of teachers and 90% of law enforcement officials state that the lack of parental supervision at home is a major factor that contributes to violence in schools. - Data suggests 72 percent of adolescent murderers and 70 percent of long-term prison inmates come from fatherless homes. - Children who feel closeness to their father are 80% less likely to spend time in jail 75% percent of adolescent patients in substance abuse centers are from fatherless homes. *https://americafirstpolicy.com/issues...

When life feels challenging, or our dreams or something we love feels threatened, our anxiety often tempts us to cling all the more tightly to whatever we fear losing. But after courageously stepping back from music for four years, Mike Donehey, lead singer for 10th Avenue North, discovered the difference between clinging, figuratively, to sifting sand and receiving all God has with open hands. Closed fists might allay our worries temporarily, but they also tend to block us from God's best. 

So, here’s a difficult question, “How am I supposed to “live” for God?” #toughquestionsforgod #dailydevotion

Have you ever faced a task bigger than what you could handle? We began with fear, "What if this...," The humiliation, the feeling of not being enough and even that imposter syndrome. Yet.. God made it clear that he is directing our steps into the unknown and by the end, we can look back at all the times he took a step with us. Going from fearful to faithful. Join Jessica and Joy on this weeks Your Daily Bible Verse weekly recap as they point out the lessons of this past weeks episodes and the conclusion of the Moses series.

Pastor Davey Blackburn returned home after a workout to find his pregnant wife lying on the floor—shot during a home invasion. He had preached many times on forgiveness, but through the grief he had to decide if he really believed what he had preached. https://YouTube.com/@behindthemikepodcast

A police officer adopted a kitten after rescuing it from the middle of a busy street.

Law enforcement officers regularly go above and beyond the call of duty. They are usually the first people to arrive on the scene whenever disaster or tragedy strikes, already doing something that most people do not. But they also often risk their lives and safety for others, doing much more than is required of them in their official, professional capacity.

Those men and women are often accurately described as heroes. They will do more and offer their assistance in unexpected ways. As one cute, tear-jerking video on social media shows, kindness and going beyond the call of duty does not stop at humans. One officer helped a sweet, innocent little kitten.

While on duty, Officer Brennen Flanigan saw something unusual in the middle of the road. Instead of simply driving by, he pulled his vehicle over and stopped traffic, discovering that the thing in the middle of the street was a kitten. The video shows the officer pick up and save the kitten from the road.

But that is not where this story ends.

Officer Flanigan sought medical assistance for the feline and took her to the vet. He learned that the cat did have a slight eye infection but was otherwise healthy. After learning that the tiny kitten was not microchipped, the officer adopted the kitten and took her home.

The officer mentioned what he hopes to accomplish and show by adopting the sweet, precious kitten he found in the street.

“What I hope the public takes away from this is, is no matter how small of an act you complete, it can really have a big impact, and that’s what I hope to provide for this little kitten right here,” the officer said.

What a beautiful act of kindness and love!

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”

Who knew drones could leave you speechless? Simone Cowell was overcome with emotion after Sky Elements' breathtaking drone show performance on America’s Got Talent. The atmosphere was electric during the Season 19 semifinals, which aired on one of America’s most somber days, 9/11. Among the many semifinalists, Sky Elements, a drone show group, created an emotional performance that left the audience in tears and the judges speechless. 

Sky Elements created a performance to the song ‘Butterfly’ by Lily Meola. The haunting words filled the air as over 1,200 drones flickered to life resembling a field of stars in the night sky.

‘I never got the chance to say

I know your wings are getting heavy

You can let go when you’re ready

to fly, fly’

The drones painted a picture of a father and daughter walking together beneath a try only for the child to drift away. In that fleeting moment, it filled the performance with a deep sense of loss and love. The drones then formed a single flower. 

The drones then formed a single flower before spreading out in the night sky with butterflies. The finale was a phoenix with fiery wings. What a beautiful performance that was dedicated to the loss of Briely Rose, the child of Preston of the Sky Elements group.

Without even a word, the performance struck a chord with the audience and judges, leaving most in tears. Howie Mandel remarked, "You just broke us," and Heidi Klum called it "a beautiful tribute to your daughter."

Simon Cowell however, couldn’t utter a word. He pushed his glasses back up on his face as he tried to wipe away tears as he said, “That was… ah, that was… oh gosh,” before he pointed to Howie to take over as Simon tried to collect himself over the emotional performance. Known for his sharp words, Simon had none. In a rare and touching moment, Simon’s thoughts and feelings mirrored the audience. 

We hope this performance touched your heart as it did ours. 

Psalm 34:18 "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

In the Lammert family, August 25th is not just another day on the calendar; it’s a family celebration, as all four siblings were born on the same day across different years. This special day marks the birthday of Sophia, 9, Giuliana, 6, Mia, 3, and baby Valentina, who recently joined the family just weeks ago. What makes this birthday even more extraordinary is that these sisters share the same birthday, each born exactly three years apart. 

Kirstin said baby Valentina was supposed to be born on September 25th but she decided to join the family early. Kirstin said she and her husband Nick couldn’t stop laughing when they realized baby number four was going to be born on the same day as the rest of their daughters. 

She said, "Because at that moment, we were really mostly concerned about the health of the baby and myself, and I wouldn't say we didn't realize the date, but the bigger focus was about making sure she was okay and that it wasn't putting enough stress on the baby, and that I would be okay. She added, "And then when it kept getting closer to midnight, we then thought it was funny."

So, what are the odds of having the girls share the same birthday? They’re absolutely astronomical. Only God could have orchestrated something so special and unique for this family of six. The odds of the girls all being born on the same day are one in 50 billion.

Kristin said, “At this point, I’m joking that my body only knows how to birth on August 25th.” She added, “It’s our family holiday.”

That also means Sophia, the oldest, has had three incredible birthdays with three amazing gifts: her little sisters. As the sisters gather to celebrate, the Lammert household will no doubt transform into a wonderland of pretty pink balloons, decorations, flowers, and treats that are perfect for a girl at any age. 

In the meantime, the Lammert family is in pink baby bliss, celebrating not only their birthdays but also the addition of their newest sister. What a precious gift!

Psalm 127:3 "Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him."

In the midst of great loss, there are sometimes moments of hope that transform lives forever. A baby girl holds on long enough for her brother and mother to live. When Nash and Jayme Kuehl wanted to start a family, they had no idea of the heartache, challenges, and loss they would face. Jayme became pregnant with twins, but her pregnancy was filled with challenges. She was told to prepare for a miscarriage and that her babies wouldn’t make it. She was then hospitalized and laid in bed for three months while her medical team did everything in their power to keep the twins alive and healthy in order to reach full term. 

“We know God is the God of miracles. I laid in bed for three months. Every time I would stand up, I would leak amniotic fluid,” Jayme recalled. 

Her medical team tried to stop Jamie’s body from going into labor, but they couldn’t stop it and took Jayme in for a C-section. Sadly, their daughter Faith passed away, but Nash made it. The doctors were relieved that Jayme made it because they were sure they were going to lose her, too.

“He said, ‘Your daughter is a hero. She lived long enough to give her brother a chance at life. But died soon enough to save you,’” she said. The doctors didn’t realize until it was too late that Jayme had been bleeding internally behind the babies. But the challenges didn’t stop there. Nash was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and autism and spent a lot of time in the NICU before he could come home. 

Years later, Nate and Jayme dreamed of completing their family but faced the heartache of five miscarriages before welcoming their daughter, Blair.

From the start, Blair was a force to be reckoned with, determined to chase her dreams. Often, she sacrificed her aspirations for the sake of her brother, Nash, because of his special needs. Yet, with her father’s support, she pursued her dream of owning a horse, even though competing seemed out of reach for their family.

Tragedy struck again when Jayme’s father fell ill and passed away. Before his death, he urged Jayme to use her inheritance to buy a horse trailer with special accommodations for Nash. This promise led them to Hart Trailers, where a team designed a travel trailer and camper to accommodate Nash and help Blair pursue her passions. What made this journey even more meaningful was that Amberley Snyder, a paraplegic barrel racer, prays over each trailer before it’s sold. You won’t believe the incredible detail and thoughtfulness that was put into the design. 

This heartwarming story beautifully illustrates hope, faith, and community. It reminds us that God weaves all things together for our good, even in the face of profound loss. With faith, all dreams—even the most ambitious—can become possible.

Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose.”

When time is of the essence, two heroic officers step up to save a choking baby in this dramatic rescue captured on video. The two officers from the Highstown Police Department are being hailed as heroes. Officer Officers Daniel Abbatemarco and Kenneth Larson responded to a distress call. They arrived on the scene on the side of the road to find a frantic family and a baby in grave danger.

The baby had begun to choke while she was in her car seat. Upon arriving, the officers quickly assessed the situation and immediately recognized the severity of the infant's condition. Without missing a second, Officers Abbatemarco and Larson began performing the infant Heimlich maneuver, a critical technique designed to clear the airway of choking victims. The parents were frantic and begging the officers to save the baby’s life. 

Throughout the tense moments, the officers remained calm and collected, reassuring the distressed family, which was incredible to watch. Once they cleared the baby’s airway, they coaxed the baby girl to cry. 

“Let’s let out a cry, sweetheart,” one of the officers said as the other held the little girl in his arms. Once she was able to breathe, she let out a wail from the terrifying ordeal. Soon after, the paramedics arrived and they praised the officers for knowing exactly what to do. This story would have been tragic if the officers did not know how to do the infant Heimlich maneuver. They only had precious seconds to save the little girl’s life.

The video was posted online and gained thousands of views and hundreds of comments of praise. One viewer put herself in the parent's shoes. She commented, “I can only imagine how the parents feel at the moment. A parent's nightmare. This is why people need CPR classes.” Another person commented, “Not all heroes wear capes;” we couldn't agree more.  Another viewer said she loved seeing the softer side of the police department. She added, “Absolutely in love with this video! I love seeing the softer side of officers and seeing the community come together to support this family️ I'm just tickled pink that your munchkin made it outta the dark. The first cry sent goosebumps from head to toe.”

What a blessed sound that first cry was. We are so thankful for everyday heroes like these officers. We hope this video of their courage brightened your day. 

Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
