| Blessed Is the Man | Psalm 1:1 | 01 Jan 2026 | 00:06:45 | |
In this episode of the Mighty Oaks Daily Devotional, Jeremy Stalnecker begins a new year by walking through Psalm 1:1–2, introducing the Book of Psalms as a source of encouragement, refuge, and confidence in God’s guidance and provision. He explains that true blessing comes from staying away from ungodly influences while delighting in and meditating on God’s Word day and night, challenging listeners to begin the year by intentionally putting the right things in and pushing the wrong things away as they pursue a life grounded in Scripture.

| Do Good as You Have Opportunity | Galatians 6:10 | 27 Dec 2025 | 00:03:31 | |
Today’s devotional points us to a practical, guiding principle found in Galatians 6:10, a “back pocket” verse for moments when we’re unsure how to act. Scripture reminds us that when we have the opportunity, we are called to do good to all people, showing kindness, meeting needs, and encouraging others whenever we can. While we’re especially called to care for fellow believers, this verse challenges us to reflect God’s love broadly and intentionally, particularly in everyday and sometimes uncomfortable situations where simple obedience can make an eternal impact.

| Deny Yourself and Follow Christ | Matthew 16:24 | 26 Dec 2025 | 00:02:53 | |
Today’s devotional looks at Jesus’ clear call in Matthew 16:24 and reminds us that while the Christian life is filled with incredible blessings, it is not meant to be an easy or self-centered life. Jesus teaches that true discipleship requires denying ourselves, taking up our cross, and following Him. The Christian life is not about comfort or personal gain, but about living sacrificially for the sake of others and reflecting Christ to the world. Following Jesus means embracing hard obedience, trusting His example, and walking faithfully in His steps. Learn More About Mighty Oaks: https://mightyoaksprograms.org | |||
| Good Tidings of Great Joy | Luke 2:8 | 25 Dec 2025 | 00:01:40 | |
Today’s devotional simply and powerfully revisits the heart of the Christmas story in Luke 2:8. The angel’s announcement to the shepherds declares good tidings of great joy, the birth of a Savior, Christ the Lord. In this moment, heaven proclaims peace and goodwill made possible because God sent His Son. Christmas reminds us that true peace is not found in circumstances, but in the Savior who came so we could be reconciled to God and live in the hope of His grace.

| Hope, Joy, and Peace | Romans 15:13 | 24 Dec 2025 | 00:02:20 | |
Today’s devotional reminds us that the themes we often associate with Christmas, hope, joy, and peace, are not meant to be manufactured by a season or circumstances. Romans 15:13 teaches that true joy and peace come from confident assurance in who God is and what He has done for us through Christ. As we celebrate the birth of our Savior, we’re reminded that real hope is found in Him, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can experience lasting joy and peace no matter the season.

| The Greatest Gift | Romans 6:23 | 23 Dec 2025 | 00:02:29 | |
Today’s devotional reminds us why we exchange gifts at Christmas, because they point to the greatest gift ever given. Romans 6:23 explains the sobering reality that the wages of sin is death, but it also reveals the hope of the gospel: “the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Christmas is the celebration of a gift we did not earn and did not deserve, given by God because we needed salvation. Jesus came to pay the price for our sin and make forgiveness and eternal life possible through Him. Learn More About Mighty Oaks: https://mightyoaksprograms.org | |||
| The Reason Jesus Came | John 14:6 | 22 Dec 2025 | 00:03:16 | |
As we enter the Christmas season, today’s devotional reminds us that Christmas is more than the celebration of a baby’s birth, it is the celebration of our Savior. In John 14:6, Jesus declares that He is “the way, the truth, and the life,” revealing why His birth mattered so deeply. Christmas had to happen so that Easter could happen. Jesus came from heaven to earth, took on human flesh, and lived among us so that He could die in our place and make a way for us to be reconciled to God. Christmas is the celebration of the Savior we needed, who came to give us life. Learn More About Mighty Oaks: https://mightyoaksprograms.org | |||
| How We Know God Loves Us | 1 John 4:9 | 19 Dec 2025 | 00:02:42 | |
Today’s devotional answers a foundational question: How do we know God loves us? In 1 John 4:9, Scripture tells us that God’s love wasn’t just spoken, it was demonstrated. God made His love unmistakably clear by sending His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In a world full of uncertainty, this truth remains unchanging: God proved His love through action, giving Jesus to restore our relationship with Him and secure our hope.

| Cast Your Cares on Him | 1 Peter 5:7 | 18 Dec 2025 | 00:02:28 | |
Today’s devotional centers on 1 Peter 5:7 and speaks directly to those carrying anxiety, fear, and the weight of uncertainty. Scripture invites us to cast every care on Jesus, not as a cliché, but because He genuinely cares for us. The same Savior who left heaven, took our sin, and died in our place invites us to bring our burdens to Him in prayer. When anxiety presses in, we’re reminded that we don’t carry it alone. We can trust the One who loves us and holds our future. Learn More About Mighty Oaks: https://mightyoaksprograms.org | |||
| Be Strong and Courageous | Joshua 1:9 | 17 Dec 2025 | 00:03:22 | |
Today’s devotional looks at Joshua 1:9, where God commands Joshua to be strong and courageous as he steps into an overwhelming calling. Facing uncertainty, fear, and the weight of leadership, Joshua is reminded that courage isn’t rooted in confidence in ourselves, but in the presence of God. When God calls us to take the next step, even when we can’t see how it will work out, He promises to be with us wherever we go. Courage grows when we trust the One who leads us forward.

| Put Off and Put On | Ephesians 4:22 | 16 Dec 2025 | 00:04:25 | |
Today’s devotional looks at Ephesians 4:22 and the biblical pattern for real change in the Christian life. Scripture teaches that freedom from sin and destructive habits requires more than just cutting things out, we must also replace them with what God intends. Paul explains that growth happens when we put off the old way of living, renew our minds through God’s truth, and intentionally put on the new life created in righteousness and holiness. This process takes effort and obedience, but it leads to lasting victory and transformation. Learn More About Mighty Oaks: https://mightyoaksprograms.org | |||
| Be Doers of the Word | James 1:22 | 09 Dec 2025 | 00:03:59 | |
Today’s devotional challenges us with James 1:22, reminding us that spiritual maturity requires more than hearing God’s Word, it demands living it out. Scripture warns that when we hear the truth but don’t act on it, we deceive ourselves. Genuine faith transforms how we think, speak, work, and treat others. This verse invites us to pause and evaluate whether our lives reflect what we say we believe, calling us to be doers of the Word in every part of life.

| Press Toward the Mark | Philippians 3:13 | 08 Dec 2025 | 00:01:50 | |
Today’s devotional reflects on Paul’s words in Philippians 3:13, where he declares his commitment to stop looking back and instead reach forward toward what God has called him to. Paul acknowledged he hadn’t “arrived,” but he was determined to pursue the prize of God’s high calling with focus, purpose, and forward momentum. This passage reminds us to release the weight of the past, invest fully in the present, and live each moment in pursuit of a life that glorifies God.

| Made New in Christ | 2 Corinthians 5:17 | 07 Dec 2025 | 00:01:49 | |
Today’s devotional focuses on 2 Corinthians 5:17 and the truth that when we come to Christ, God doesn’t simply patch up our old broken pieces. He makes us entirely new. Scripture says the old has passed away and all things have become new. Through the Holy Spirit, we receive a new heart, a new mind, and a new way of seeing and experiencing the world. You’re not a repaired version of your past; you are a completely remade creation. Walk confidently in the new life God has given you.

| Rivers in the Desert | Isaiah 43:18 | 06 Dec 2025 | 00:02:35 | |
Today’s devotional from Isaiah 43:18–19 reminds us that no matter how hopeless our circumstances may feel, God is not limited by what we see, what we've tried, or what we’ve failed at. He calls us to stop looking back and trust that He is able to do something new, something only He can do. When life feels like a wilderness or a desert, God promises to make a way forward and provide exactly what we need, even bringing “rivers in the desert” to sustain us as He leads us into His plan.

| Honor God With What You Have | Proverbs 3:9 | 05 Dec 2025 | 00:03:59 | |
Today’s devotional from Proverbs 3:9–10 reminds us that honoring God isn’t just a spiritual concept. It touches every part of our lives, including the physical and tangible blessings He’s given us. Scripture calls us to honor the Lord with our substance and the first fruits of our increase, recognizing that everything we have comes from Him. When we give God our best, not as a transaction but as an act of gratitude and stewardship, He blesses us so we can continue to use what we receive for His purposes and the good of others.

| A Sound Heart | Proverbs 14:30 | 04 Dec 2025 | 00:04:57 | |
Today’s devotional reflects on Proverbs 14:30, contrasting the life-giving nature of a sound heart with the destructive power of envy. Scripture teaches that a heart grounded in purity, humility, repentance, and the pursuit of others’ good brings life, not only spiritually, but even physically. But envy corrodes us from the inside out, shaping our emotions, our relationships, and even our bodies. When we quickly deal with sin, seek God, and refuse comparison, we cultivate a heart that experiences peace, health, and spiritual vitality.

| Victory in Christ | 2 Corinthians 2:14 | 03 Dec 2025 | 00:05:04 | |
Today’s devotional looks at 2 Corinthians 2:14, where Paul reminds us that true victory in the Christian life isn’t found in circumstances, comfort, or getting what we want, it comes when we pursue God’s will and allow Him to work through us. Even when Paul wasn’t certain of his next step, he trusted God to lead, and he gave thanks knowing that God “always causeth us to triumph in Christ.” Victory is experiencing God using our lives to make His truth known, wherever He leads us.

| God’s Will From the Beginning | Genesis 1:27 | 01 Dec 2025 | 00:06:25 | |
Today’s devotional goes back to the very first chapter of Scripture to answer a question many believers wrestle with: What is God’s will for my life? In Genesis 1:27–28, we see God’s original intention He created us in His image, blessed us, and called us to be fruitful, to produce, to steward what He gives, and to reflect Him to the world. Instead of complicating God’s will, this passage reminds us that we are called to use our gifts, opportunities, and moments for His glory and the good of others, living as image-bearers who make an impact.

| Choose to Be Thankful | Psalm 69:30 | 27 Nov 2025 | 00:02:18 | |
Today’s devotional reminds us that genuine thanksgiving isn’t something we express only when we feel grateful, it’s a deliberate choice. Psalm 69:30 shows the psalmist declaring, “I will praise the name of God… and will magnify Him with thanksgiving,” revealing a decision made before the circumstances arrive. If giving thanks is God’s will for us, then we’re called to choose gratitude daily, not just during holidays or moments of blessing, but throughout the entire year.

| Every Good Gift | James 1:17 | 26 Nov 2025 | 00:02:53 | |
Today’s devotional looks at James 1:17 and reminds us that the heart of Thanksgiving is recognizing where our blessings truly come from. Scripture teaches that “every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,” and when we fully grasp that every talent, opportunity, provision, and blessing originates with God, not ourselves, we become truly grateful people. Understanding His unchanging goodness produces humility and genuine thanksgiving in our lives. Learn More About Mighty Oaks: https://mightyoaksprograms.org | |||
| A Sacrifice of Praise | Hebrews 13:15 | 25 Nov 2025 | 00:02:39 | |
Today’s devotional reflects on Hebrews 13:15, reminding us that thanksgiving is not just a feeling, it's a sacrifice of praise. Giving thanks often requires us to step outside ourselves, acknowledge our dependence on God, and openly express gratitude for His goodness. Scripture calls this “the fruit of our lips,” a continual offering that honors God and declares His provision to the world, especially during this season of thanksgiving.

| Give Thanks in Everything | 1 Thessalonians 5:18 | 24 Nov 2025 | 00:03:37 | |
Today’s devotional looks at 1 Thessalonians 5:18, where Scripture calls us to give thanks not only when life feels good, but in everything, even in difficulty, confusion, and seasons that don’t make sense. This command reminds us that gratitude is God’s will for us and flows from the victory we already have through Christ. Because our confidence is in Him, not our circumstances, we can give thanks in every situation we face. Learn More About Mighty Oaks: https://mightyoaksprograms.org | |||
| Let the Redeemed Speak | Psalm 107:1 | 23 Nov 2025 | 00:03:02 | |
Today’s devotional turns to Psalm 107:1–2, reminding us not only to give thanks because God is good and His mercy endures forever, but also to say so. Those who have been redeemed should freely and boldly express gratitude for God’s goodness. As we move through Thanksgiving week, Scripture encourages us to speak out about His blessings and mercy allowing our thankfulness to be heard and shared with others.

| Give Thanks for His Mercy | 1 Chronicles 16:34 | 22 Nov 2025 | 00:03:24 | |
Today’s devotional turns to 1 Chronicles 16:34, reminding us that giving thanks isn’t optional for followers of Christ Scripture commands it, and then tells us why: “For He is good; for His mercy endureth forever.” As we reflect during Thanksgiving week, we’re invited to consider the specific ways God has shown His goodness in our lives and to remember that His mercy never runs out. Even when we fall short, He continues to extend grace, love, and forgiveness without end. Learn More About Mighty Oaks: https://mightyoaksprograms.org | |||
| Enter With Thanksgiving | Psalm 100:4 | 21 Nov 2025 | 00:03:21 | |
As we begin Thanksgiving week, today’s devotional turns to Psalm 100:4, reminding us to pause, step away from the noise, and enter God’s presence with gratitude. We’re invited to reflect on His goodness, His everlasting mercy, and the many blessings He’s given us not just as part of a holiday tradition, but as a deliberate act of worship that draws our hearts back to Him.

| What Do We Do With Sin? | 1 John 1:9 | 20 Nov 2025 | 00:04:17 | |
Today’s devotional wrestles with an honest question every believer faces: What do we do with our sin? Even when we desire to honor God, we still fall short and often the guilt can overwhelm us. But 1 John 1:9 gives us hope: if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse us. Instead of letting failure define us, we’re invited to bring our sin to God, receive His forgiveness, and walk restored and whole. Learn More About Mighty Oaks: https://mightyoaksprograms.org | |||
| How We Know God Is Real | Romans 1:20 | 19 Nov 2025 | 00:05:06 | |
Today’s devotional answers the honest question, “How do we know God exists?” by turning to Romans 1:20, where Paul reminds us that the invisible qualities of God are “clearly seen” through everything He has made sunrises, creation, the breath in our lungs, and the delicate balance of a world only God could hold together. When life feels uncertain or God feels distant, Scripture points us back to the evidence of His power and presence written into creation itself.

| Consider His Glory | Psalm 19:1 | 18 Nov 2025 | 00:03:16 | |
Today’s devotional asks a simple but life-shifting question: Have you taken time to consider the glory of God? Psalm 19:1 reminds us that “the heavens declare the glory of God,” calling us to step away from distractions, slow down, and remember that the God who created everything is greater than any trial we face and fully able to carry what feels too big for us.

| Make His Goodness Known | 1 Chronicles 16:8 | 17 Nov 2025 | 00:02:34 | |

,None of us would choose trials, but when God comforts us in our pain, it’s not only a gift to us. It’s meant to flow through us. In 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 we read: “Blessed be God… the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort; who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble.” Learn More About Mighty Oaks: https://mightyoaksprograms.org Join us daily for encouragement and biblical truth, sign up for daily reminders: https://mightyoaksprograms.org/daily-devotional | |||
| Seize the Day | Proverbs 27:1 | 14 Nov 2025 | 00:04:04 | |
Proverbs 27:1 gives us a powerful reminder: “Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. We often live as if we have endless time putting off what matters, delaying what should be said or done today. God calls us to steward the moments we have right now. Don’t wait. Don’t assume you’ll have another chance. Live purposefully, love fully, and seize the opportunities God has placed in front of you today.

| When You’re Barely Hanging On | Psalm 94:18 | 13 Nov 2025 | 00:03:29 | |
Have you ever felt like you’re just barely holding it together. Emotionally, mentally, or spiritually? You’re not alone. The psalmist wrote, “When I said, my foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up. In the multitude of my thoughts within me, thy comforts delight my soul.” (Psalm 94:18–19) Even when you feel like you’re slipping, God’s mercy is what holds you steady. His presence brings comfort when your thoughts are racing and your strength is fading. You don’t have to hold it all together. He’s holding on to you.

| Healing Begins with You | 2 Chronicles 7:14 | 12 Nov 2025 | 00:05:29 | |
In a world full of chaos, confusion, and moral decline, it’s easy to ask, “What can we do?” God gives the answer in 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” The change we long to see begins with us. Humble yourself. Seek God’s face. Turn from sin. When God’s people live in repentance and obedience, He brings healing and hope to the world around them.

| Taste and See God’s Goodness | Psalm 34:8 | 11 Nov 2025 | 00:03:03 | |
In the middle of life’s chaos and unanswered questions, it’s easy to wonder if God really hears our prayers or if He even cares. Psalm 34 reminds us that He does: “I sought the Lord, and He heard me… O taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.” God may not always answer the way we expect, but His goodness never fails. When we cry out to Him, He listens, He delivers, and He blesses those who trust Him.

| Stay Strong in the Lord | 1 Peter 4:19 | 10 Nov 2025 | 00:03:47 | |
Standing for truth and living out your faith isn’t easy. The world pushes back, life gets heavy, and discouragement can set in. But 1 Peter 4:19 reminds us, “Let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to Him in well-doing, as unto a faithful Creator.” When you face opposition, don’t give up, trust the One who created you and calls you. God is faithful. He will protect, strengthen, and sustain you as you walk in His will. Keep doing what’s right. Stay strong in the Lord.

| That I May Know Him | Philippians 3:10 | 09 Nov 2025 | 00:03:14 | |
What is the ultimate pursuit of your life? For the Apostle Paul, everything his ministry, his suffering, his calling came down to one goal: “That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings.” (Philippians 3:10) Paul’s greatest desire wasn’t success, comfort, or recognition, it was to know Jesus more deeply. Whatever God calls you to do, let that same pursuit guide your life: to know Christ, to walk in His power, and to reflect His purpose in all you do.

| Choose Today Who You’ll Serve | Joshua 24:15 | 08 Nov 2025 | 00:03:10 | |
Every day we face reasons, excuses, distractions, pressures, that make it harder to follow God. But the truth is, faith always comes down to a choice. In Joshua 24:15, Joshua declares, “Choose you this day whom ye will serve… but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Before battles, before challenges, before influence from others he made his decision. Today, you must make yours. Will you follow God, or go your own way? Choose this day who you will serve.

| Commit Your Way to God | Psalm 37:5 | 07 Nov 2025 | 00:03:17 | |
Success doesn’t come from striving, it comes from surrender. Psalm 37:5 reminds us, “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass.” Our responsibility is obedience, walking faithfully in what God has called us to do. The outcome, however, belongs to Him. When we commit our plans, our families, and our futures to the Lord, we can rest knowing that He will bring His purposes to pass. Do your part and trust God with the results.

| Step Out in Faith | Matthew 14:29 | 06 Nov 2025 | 00:06:25 | |
Faith doesn’t mean you’ll never feel fear or doubt, it means trusting God even when you do. In Matthew 14:29, Peter stepped out of the boat and walked on water toward Jesus. He didn’t ignore the storm, he simply chose to keep his eyes on his Savior instead of his circumstances. When he began to sink, Jesus lifted him up. Faith isn’t the absence of fear; it’s confidence that God is greater than the storm. Keep your focus on Him, He’ll carry you through.

| Real Love in Action | John 15:13 | 05 Nov 2025 | 00:03:39 | |
What does real love look like? Jesus gives us the answer in John 15:13: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” True love isn’t about emotion or getting something in return, it’s sacrificial. It’s choosing to put others before yourself, setting aside your desires to do what’s best for those you love. Whether in marriage, family, or friendship, the greatest expression of love is living selflessly for others, just as Jesus did for us.

| Do What You Know | John 13:17 | 04 Nov 2025 | 00:03:14 | |
There’s a big difference between knowing what’s right and doing what’s right. Jesus said in John 13:17, “If you know these things, happy are ye if you do them.” Many people know the truth but never live it out and that disconnect leads to frustration and emptiness. True peace and joy come when we act on what we believe. Don’t just know God’s Word, live it.

| God Restores the Broken | Ezekiel 37:3 | 03 Nov 2025 | 00:03:06 | |
Have you ever looked at a situation or relationship in your life and thought, “It’s dead, there’s no coming back from this”? In Ezekiel 37:3, God asks the prophet, “Son of man, can these bones live?” Ezekiel wisely replies, “O Lord God, You know.” The truth is God can make all things new. He can breathe life into what seems beyond repair and restore what feels lost forever. Trust that God is bigger than your circumstance. Where you see death, He can bring resurrection.

| Living with Unshakable Hope | Ephesians 1:18 | 02 Nov 2025 | 00:03:37 | |
Christians should be the most hope-filled people in the world but too often, we lose sight of who God is and what He’s promised. Ephesians 1:18 reminds us, “That you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.” Hope isn’t wishful thinking, it’s confidence that what God says will come to pass. Even in dark times, we can stand firm with quiet confidence, knowing that God is still sovereign, His plan is still perfect, and His promises never fail.

As followers of Christ, our lives should reflect His death and resurrection. 2 Corinthians 4:11 says, “For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.” The Apostle Paul made it his mission to live in such a way that others saw Jesus in him, His sacrifice, His power, and His new life. Today, ask yourself: do people see Jesus in the way you live, work, and love others?

| Living with Integrity | Acts 24:16 | 31 Oct 2025 | 00:03:45 | |
What do people think about when they think of you? In Acts 24:16, the Apostle Paul says, “And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offense toward God, and toward men.” Paul wasn’t seeking popularity, he sought integrity. He worked diligently to live in a way that honored God and reflected Christ to others. We can do the same, living with honesty, humility, and conviction, even when others disagree. Your reputation should point people to Jesus.

| Pray for Vision | Proverbs 29:18 | 30 Oct 2025 | 00:03:12 | |
Do you know where you’re going? Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Without a God-given vision, life becomes aimless, just surviving from one day to the next. But when we seek God’s direction through His Word, He gives us clarity, purpose, and hope. Pray this today: “God, give me a vision for my future. Help me see my life the way You see it.” Learn More About Mighty Oaks: https://mightyoaksprograms.org Join us daily for encouragement and biblical truth, sign up for daily reminders: https://mightyoaksprograms.org/daily-devotional | |||

| God Wins the Battle | Romans 16:20 | 28 Oct 2025 | 00:02:10 | |
There are moments when it feels like evil is winning, when the darkness in the world seems overwhelming. But Romans 16:20 reminds us of the truth: “The God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.” No matter what it looks like around us, God is still in control, and His victory is certain. The enemy may seem to gain ground, but his power is temporary. Victory belongs to the Lord and that’s the hope we stand on today.
