Biblical Encouragement
A growing archive of monthly Biblical encouragement, with help from the Psalms, practical wisdom from Proverbs, comfort for our identity in Christ, and steadying reflections on the attributes of God.
Explore the Four Main Collections
Each issue draws from these four core collections. From time to time, the email also includes a personal From Mara to Naomi letter and a recommended Reformed resource. As new editions are prepared, the articles are gathered here so that they can be found again easily.
Help from the Psalms
Comfort, honesty, lament, hope, and worship for weary and burdened hearts.
Wisdom from Proverbs
Practical Biblical wisdom for speech, relationships, decisions, work, fear, and daily life.
Identity in Christ
Gospel encouragement for assurance, adoption, justification, union with Christ, and hope.
Knowing God
Reflections on God’s attributes, helping us rest in who He is when life feels uncertain.
