Nothing catches God by surprise. Every detour, delay, and disappointment is already known to Him. When life feels uncertain, remember God is never scrambling for a plan. He has already gone ahead of you, prepared the way, and secured your peace. Trust the One who sees the end from the beginning.

So grateful to Tanner Olson for sharing his story with such vulnerability. (Also, ofc we asked Tanner to send us a video, and he responded with this POETRY. He’s just the best.)

Tanner reminds us that faith stories aren’t about impressing others; they’re about inviting people to see how God works.

If your testimony feels small, unfinished, or hard to put into words, you’re not alone. That’s why we created Go and Tell: to help everyday believers name how Jesus has met them and share it naturally with others.

Your story doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be honest.

Thanks again, Tanner, for helping make space for real stories 🥹.

If you’re a procrastinator, you’re not alone. Most of the time, procrastinating is harmless. We avoid homework, work assignments, laundry, or making that phone call…but eventually, we manage to get it done.

Yet some tasks shouldn’t wait.

Conversations about God can be super awkward and scary, making them easy to put off. But the Gospel is called Good News for a reason. If you’ve experienced the power of Jesus’ sacrifice for us, then you know why. Life is hard, but living for Jesus unlocks new love, purpose, and joy in life—even during difficult times.

Awkward conversations don’t always get less so, but what’s a minute of awkwardness if it means another person experiences God’s love?

It can be intimidating to know how to share Jesus with others, especially if you’re worried about seeming pushy or saying the wrong thing. But, if it’s God's timing, the Holy Spirit will give you the right words and the right circumstances—you don’t have to force anything on your own.

So many people are ready to hear the Gospel, and God’s tasked us with sharing his love. Yes, it’s scary, but we have a Counselor to lean on, helping us not waste a second.

You have a friend that you really care about, but they don’t know Jesus. It’s a tough spot to be in when you don’t know how to witness to a friend.

It’s tough, because you don’t want to be obnoxious—like you have an “agenda” to get them saved…but you also really want them to become a Christ follower—to know Jesus, and the true life he offers.

And let’s be real, inviting people to become a Christian isn’t exactly a popular idea right now (it wasn’t in the New Testament either)!

But you are running into moments where it also feels like you should say something. What should you do?

Here’s a prayer and a scripture for a non-Christian friend—we pray it when we are wanting so badly for a friend to follow Jesus. Maybe this will help as a step in the right direction.

𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞
“Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent” (John 17:3).

𝐀 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐍𝐨𝐧-𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝
Pursuer, who longs for a relationship with us, run after my friend and bring them to you. Creator, who formed and fashioned [name] and loves them more than I do, help me trust that they’re in your hands. When it’s appropriate for me to speak, give me your life-giving words. When it’s important for me to be silent, help me be a life-giving presence. And in all I say and do, may [friend’s name] come to know you by recognizing your love for them in me. Amen.

Do you need God? This might be a weird question, but sometimes even those of us who say “yes” live our lives as if we’ve got everything handled. Then something happens—something difficult and unexpected, and we realize we do need help! There’s a word for this!

When people who were struggling during Jesus-times (around 30-33 AD/CE) heard that Jesus was walking by, they often yelled out what is called “The Mercy Prayer.”

“Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” (Mark 10:47).

This prayer was a desperate cry for help, and Jesus stopped to heal them.

And embedded in this prayer is a really important word. The word is ἐλέησόν (eleésōn), which means to show mercy, pity or kindness, usually to meet a need; to help someone who’s experiencing a consequence of sin.

This "mercy" describes not only physical healing, but the spiritual healing God offers us when he forgives us of our sins and empowers us to live our lives in the freedom of his Spirit.

“But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!” (Ephesians 2:4)

And for those of us who have embraced God’s mercy toward us, we are instructed to show this same mercy to others.

“Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.” (Colossians 3:12)

Take some time today to memorize the mercy prayer, and then pray it often.

“Lord, Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner!”

And ask God for his help to show others the same mercy you have received.

When we receive God’s mercy, it’s normal to want to share about it! Click this link to download our free guide to help you think through how God’s mercy has changed your life: https://reclaimtoday.org/testimony/

A new year means an opportunity for fresh reflection—not just on goals and habits, but on the story God’s writing in your life. And one of the most meaningful practices you can bring into this year is naming how Jesus has met you, healed you, freed you, or guided you… and then sharing that story with someone who needs it.

The good news? Sharing your faith doesn’t require perfect words or an extroverted personality. The two stories our new free PDF explores, the healed demoniac (Mark 5) and the woman at the well (John 4), remind us that a testimony isn’t polished or persuasive. It’s simply telling the truth about what Jesus has done.

Sharing your story isn’t about forcing beliefs on anyone but creating space for others to encounter the same Jesus who met you.

If you want help naming your testimony, praying through your story, and learning how to share it naturally, we built a free resource just for you: Go and Tell: Sharing Jesus’s Work in Your Life.

Inside, you’ll walk through Scripture, guided reflection questions, and an exercise for writing your story with God, and sharing it with another person.

Start your year by remembering what Jesus has done, and by telling someone about it.

Here’s your reminder ⬆️ God sees you!

01/01/2026

Happy New Year! And we don’t mean “happy” as in we hope everything goes perfectly for you because that’s not going to happen. When has any of us experienced a year that was all UP and no DOWN?

We mean happy as in “blessed.”

Happy as in “aware of God’s presence through the ups and downs.”

Happy as in “God’s joy that is your strength especially when you feel weak.”

So seriously: Happy New Year, and we can say that because God is Immanuel (which means God with us).

As we all start out this new year, 2026, here’s what we’re praying for:

𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞
“How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.” (Psalm 36:7)

𝐀 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫
Immanuel, God with us, help me experience your presence through the ups and downs of this new year. Fill me to overflowing with the fruit of your Spirit, so my friends, family, and even strangers become aware of your love for them. When I feel weak, may your joy be my strength. When I feel anxious, may you give me your peace. When I feel unloved, surround me with your love. As I approach each day, give me eyes to see, ears to hear your voice, and courage to follow wherever you lead. Amen.

God sees your worth even when you don't. It doesn’t matter what the world says about you. God says you are of great value.

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. (Luke 12:6-7)
