Maybe you’ve tried the daily devotional routine.
You bought the journal. You started the reading plan. You promised yourself that this time you would pray, read Scripture, meditate, write three pages, drink enough water, and become an entirely new person before breakfast.
And then...life happened.
Good news!
A rich and meaningful faith life doesn’t have to depend on maintaining the same practice every single day. It can be curious, creative, active, reflective, playful, justice-seeking, and occasionally messy.
A Guide to a Faith-Filled 2027 gives you a variety of ways to connect with God, care for yourself, show up for others, and live your faith in the real world.
Use what helps. Skip what doesn’t. Put it down when life gets busy and come back when you’re ready.
No catching up required.
This is not a daily devotional.
Instead, the guide follows the liturgical year from Advent through November, offering a fresh collection of reflections, practices, and activities each month.
Some months you may use every page.
Some months you may choose one spiritual practice or complete a row on the bingo card.
Some months, opening the guide and remembering that you are still beloved will be enough.
Nothing is mandatory. There are no spiritual gold stars. You cannot fall behind.
You want a meaningful faith life but struggle with rigid daily routines.
You love Jesus and still have plenty of questions.
You are progressive, inclusive, deconstructing, reconstructing, or simply trying to figure out what you believe.
You want spiritual practices that connect faith with ordinary life.
You believe justice, care for others, and care for yourself all belong in a faithful life.
You have started devotionals or planners before and then felt guilty when you stopped.
You want encouragement without shame, pressure, or pat answers.
You take your faith seriously but try not to take yourself too seriously.

Doubting Believers are beloved children of God. We seek to follow Jesus, believe everyone is welcome at the table, refuse to use religion as a weapon, and try to share the Good News in ways people can actually hear.
We don’t have all the answers.
We do believe that our questions, practices, relationships, and small acts of love can help us grow into the life God calls us to live.
Your 81-page downloadable guide includes:
Begin each month with an honest, accessible reflection grounded in Scripture and connected to the season.
These aren’t reflections built around easy answers. They make room for questions, doubt, grief, hope, justice, joy, and the complicated work of living faithfully in the world as it is.
Consider four grounding questions:
Who do I want to be?
Who can I help or show up for?
Where do I need help?
How will I connect with God?
This isn’t about creating another list of goals. It’s about deciding what deserves your attention.
Each month offers several practical ways to nurture your faith.
Choose the practices that meet you where you are.
Every month, see how many times you can bingo!
Because play life should be an integral part of everyone's faith life.
Working for justice in this world can seem overwhelming, but instead of giving up when you are feeling weary, shift into some of these small acts. They really do make a difference.
