Scripture Matthew 2:3–8, 16–18 Big Idea The Light of Christ does not only comfort—it confronts. Not everyone welcomes what it reveals. Family Reflection When the wise men arrive in Jerusalem, not everyone rejoices. Herod is afraid. Jerusalem is troubled (V3). The same Light that draws worship from some exposes idolatry in others. Epiphany reminds us that resistance to Jesus often comes not from a misunderstanding of who He is, but from a crystal clear one. If He is the ultim

Walking in the Light Together Epiphany is a season for learning how to walk in the light we’ve been given. This guide is not meant to add pressure or fill your calendar—it’s meant to gently shape the rhythms you already have. There is just one devotional for each week in the season of Epiphany (six weeks). Choose a consistent day (earlier in the week is better than later) to read the devotional as a family. Read the Scripture, reflect together, and introduce the week’s practi

Scripture Reading Matthew 2:1–12 Big Idea (For Parents) Epiphany is not simply the story of who Jesus is, but who Jesus is for. The light that dawned in Israel does not stay contained there. It spills outward—quietly at first, almost unnoticed—until foreigners are bowing at the feet of Israel’s Messiah. From the beginning, God’s plan was never to hoard the light, but to share it.

Scripture Luke 2:25–38 (With special attention to verse 32 “a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.”) Big Idea (For Parents) Simeon and Anna recognize Jesus because the Spirit has trained their eyes over time. Their proximity to God’s Word and people has formed and fitted them for an epiphany—when revelation came, they were ready. Their faithfulness didn’t earn them special revelation, but it did welcome the Spirit’s work. And what the Spi

Perhaps you’ve seen the bumper stickers that became popular during the covid lockdowns and mask mandates, pulling a famous line from the preamble to the Constitution, the sticker read: “We the people...are pissed off.” That turn of phrase pulls on some very American threads—the consent of the governed—government by the people, for the people—ideas that are core to the American identity and to our conception of our system of governance. Our recent brush with government overrea

The Techno-Resistance There is a growing trend of techno-resistance among Millennials and Gen Z. Analog is making a comeback, and low-tech living is being branded as the real self-care. From Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation to Cal Newport’s Digital Minimalism and Mary Harrington’s Feminism Against Progress, a chorus of voices is warning against our unthinking embrace of new technologies without reckoning with their costs.
