Slow down. Breathe deep. Remember you are beloved.In a world that urges us to do more, hurry up and keep going, Beloved Is Where We Begin offers something beautifully different: a once-a-week pause to rest in God's presence and remember who you really are.
This gentle, practical devotional features 52 simple reflections, one for each week of the year, helping you build a sustainable habit of meeting with God that doesn't add to your to-do list, but restores your soul.
Rooted in the liturgical seasons of the Christian year - Easter, Ordinary Time, Advent, Christmas and Lent - these short, thoughtful readings invite you to slow down and hear the steady heartbeat of God's grace running through every part of life.
Perfect for busy people longing to meet God or reconnect in a way that's realistic, meaningful and kind, Beloved Is Where We Begin helps you find a rhythm of rootedness that can hold you through whatever the week brings - reminding you again and again that you are beloved.
