A Christian Year-End Reflection on God’s Faithfulness
As we approach the end of the year and prepare for a brief Winter Break with the Daily Devotionals, I wanted to pause and reflect—and most importantly, to say thank you. This Christian year-end reflection is a moment to look back on what God has done through Daily Devotional Ministries and to praise Him for His faithfulness.
Daily Devotional Ministries exists because of you. It is truly a privilege to come into your lives each day and share God’s Word with you. When God first called me to begin ministering His Word in this way, I never imagined all that He would do—or how these short daily messages would reach hearts around the world.
It is an absolute honor to minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to be part of your daily walk with God. Thank you for inviting me into your time with Him.
2025 — The Year of Launch
My church encourages us to choose a word for the year—one that is personal and prayerfully considered. As I look back over 2025, the word that clearly stands out for this ministry is LAUNCH.
2025 has been a year of incredible growth, prayer, and obedience.
Daily Devotional Ministries officially launched in January 2025, marking the beginning of a new chapter of sharing God’s Word daily.
In March 2025, the Daily Devotional Store launched, offering faith-based apparel designed to spark conversations and encourage others in their walk with Christ.
In May 2025, the 5-Minute Daily Devotionals Podcast launched, allowing these messages to reach listeners through audio wherever they are.
In September 2025, the Daily Devotional Ministries website officially launched, creating a home for devotionals, blogs, journals, and resources.
In November 2025, the Daily Devotional Prayer Journal and Daily Devotional Bible Study Journal were published—tools created to help believers slow down, reflect, and grow deeper in prayer and Scripture.
Each step this year has been guided by prayer and trust in the Lord, and I am so grateful for how He has led every part of this ministry.

Looking Ahead to the Year to Come
As we look ahead to the new year, my prayer is that Daily Devotional Ministries continues to reach even more people with the Gospel—and that it helps more believers grow in their daily walk with God through Scripture, prayer, and reflection.
The goal has always been simple: to help people in their daily walks with Christ so that each person can live their very best life in Him.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Thank you for watching, listening, sharing, giving, praying, and walking alongside this ministry. I am deeply grateful for each of you.
A Note on Winter Break
As the Daily Devotionals pause briefly for Winter Break, I encourage you to continue spending time with God through His Word, prayer, and reflection. Even a few quiet minutes with Him each day can make all the difference.
We’ll be back soon, and I’m looking forward to continuing this journey together.
