Faith for Everyday
Faith for Everyday is a daily podcast dedicated to guiding youth through modern challenges with timeless Biblical wisdom. Each approximately 10-minute episode offers scriptural insights and practical encouragement to strengthen faith in everyday life. New episodes are released daily.
Spending time in God’s Word is essential for spiritual growth, yet many people struggle with where to start. Some feel intimidated by the Bible’s depth, while others become discouraged or overwhelmed by life’s challenges. If you’ve ever felt that way, this devotional is for you.
"Faith for Every Day" is designed as a simple yet powerful guide to help you engage with Scripture daily. You don’t have to start on January 1st—this podcast is meant to be picked up at any time of the year. Each daily devotion stands on its own, addressing real-life struggles while pointing you back to God’s truth.
Throughout this journey, we will explore topics such as anxiety, depression, rejection, and uncertainty—struggles that are all too common today. But you’re not alone. The Bible is filled with stories of people who faced similar challenges and found strength in God. By looking at their experiences, we can find encouragement, hope, and guidance for our own lives.
Whether you’re a new believer seeking direction or a seasoned Christian looking for fresh inspiration, this podcast will meet you where you are. My prayer is that as you go through these devotionals, you will be encouraged to dig deeper into God’s Word, grow in faith, and draw closer to Him daily.
Let’s embark on this journey together—one day at a time, one step closer to God.

Giving That God Counts
What if your next act of generosity is the smartest investment you’ll ever make? We explore the surprising promise in Proverbs 19:17—that mercy toward the poor is a loan to God—and why that changes how we see money, time, and attention. With a clear look at Jesus’ words in Matthew 25, we connect daily compassion to honoring the King Himself, showing how simple acts like a meal, a ride, or a listening ear carry sacred weight.
Across this short reflection, we unpack why motive matters more than optics and how quiet kindness often brings the deepest returns. We talk about the kinds of “repayment” God gives—peace that steadies the heart, joy that pushes back cynicism, and open doors that arrive right when we need them. We also address the honest barriers that keep us from noticing the hurting: hurry, distraction, and numbness. Then we offer a practical framework for living interruptibly, giving with dignity, and trusting God with outcomes.
If you’ve ever wondered whether small deeds make a real difference, or if generosity is “worth it” when budgets and bandwidth feel tight, this conversation will reframe your assumptions. Learn to see the person in front of you, act with compassion, and treat each moment of service as worship in motion. Subscribe, share this with a friend who inspires you to be generous, and leave a quick review to tell us your next small act of mercy.
Turning for the poor and the needy. Proverbs nineteen seven. He that had pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord, and that which he had given will he pay him again. Proverbs nineteen seventeen. Hello and welcome to day two hundred and eighty of Faith for Every Day. Today's verse is one of the most beautiful and surprising truth in all of Scripture. Proverbs 1917 says, He that had pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord, and that which he had given him will he pay him again. Did you catch that? When you give to the poor, you are lending to God. And God, who owns everything, promises to repay. In our word today, people often give to get something in return. But this verse flips that thinking. It says, When you give to those in need out of compassion, not for attention, you are actually given to the Lord Himself. And He sees, He takes note, and He always repays with interest, though not always in money. You might receive peace or joy or open doors or provision when you are in need. But the point is this, you will never lose when you give with a pure heart. Jesus echoed this in Matthew chapter 25, when he said, Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, you have done it unto me. Every time you feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick, or simply offer kindness to someone struggling, you are ministering to Jesus Himself. That man you ignored at a gas station, that single mom you felt not to help, that neighbor in silent pain, you may never see what your gift does, but heaven does. We live in a time where it is easy to walk past the hurting. We are busy, distracted, numb. But God is calling his people to notice, to care, to act. You may not have much, but the little, when given with love, becomes much in the hands of God. Today, ask the Lord to open your eyes to see someone in need. It may be a need for food, a ride, a word of encouragement, or just someone to listen. And when you meet that need, do it as unto the Lord. You are not just helping a person, you are honoring your king. Thank you very much for joining me for day 280 of faith for every day. Remember, generosity is not loss, it is investment. And when you lend to the Lord, the return is eternal. Thank you very much for listening. See you again tomorrow, same time, same place for yet another episode.
