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.

Far from Home: Migration & Exile

Many believers live far from the land of their birth — for work, study or safety — carrying homesickness, pressure from family back home and the challenge of a new culture. These seven days walk with Joseph, Ruth, Daniel and God's exiled people, finding God present in a strange land and calling us to faithfulness and to care for other strangers. If you are being mistreated, have had your documents taken, or loneliness is turning to despair, please contact your embassy, a local support service or someone you trust today.
