Lent is almost here, and it invites each of us to slow down and walk more closely with Jesus.

To help you prepare your heart for this season, we created a new devotional called Walking in

His Commands, a Lenton journey with Jesus. It takes you through 46 of Jesus' teachings,

showing how obedience leads to joy, peace, and deeper

intimacy with God.

When you make a donation, we'll send you this devotional as our thank you for supporting

Denison Forum.
