Waiting For Jesus

In this twenty-five-day devotional, pastor and author Rich Villodas guides you through reflections, prayers, and prompts to help you slow down, connect with God, and rediscover peace this Advent season. Each day offers space for personal reflection, preparing your heart for Jesus’s arrival and culminating in a final devotional on Christmas Day. Amid the noise of the season, these biblical truths invite you into the joy and peace Christ brings. Let this be a time of holy longing and heartfelt rejoicing as you welcome him anew.

The Narrow Path

The Narrow Path reintroduces the counterintuitive wonder of Jesus’s timeless wisdom for this age, one fraught with anxiety, polarizing politics, and online vitriol. The path of Jesus is most certainly narrow, but it is the only one filled with the ever-expanding life of God…and it is available now for all who want it!

The Deeply Formed Life

The troubling reality is that believers can be deeply committed to being Christian without ever being deeply formed by Christ.  
Rich Villodas says we must restore depth, focus, and meaning for our souls. The Deeply Formed Life lays out a fresh, wholistic vision for spiritual breakthrough through five unexpected pathways.
