Unlocked: Daily Devotions for Teens
Unlocked is a daily teen devotional, centered on God’s Word. Each day’s devotion—whether fiction, poetry, or essay—asks the question: How does Jesus and what He did affect today’s topic? With daily devotions read by our hosts, Natalie and Dylan, and questions designed to encourage discussion and a deeper walk with Christ, Unlocked invites teens to both engage with the Bible and to write and submit their own devotional pieces.

Echoes of the Story
The redemption of God’s people was over before it began. Until it wasn’t. Abraham and Sarah not being able to get pregnant. The slavery of their descendants in the land of Egypt. The rebellion of tho…
Peace Beyond Understanding
Relax your shoulders. Take a deep breath and let out the tension you’ve been holding. Feel any better? God calls Himself “the God of all comfort” (2 Corinthians 1:3). And one way He provides comfort…
