About this journey

A journey is a short, themed path through Scripture, one day at a time: a passage to read, a short reflection, a question to journal on and a prayer.

Start at day 1 and go at your own pace — your progress and private journal are saved on this device and synced if you sign in. A “Beta” tag means a pastor has not reviewed the journey yet.

Caring for Ageing Parents

Caring for an ageing father or mother is an act of love and honour, but it can also be tiring, costly and lonely. These seven days look at God's faithfulness in old age, the call to honour our parents, and the wisdom of sharing the load with others. If you are exhausted, or worried about a parent's health or memory, please speak with a doctor, your church or someone you trust — you were not meant to carry this alone.
