Athey Creek Devoted Live | Video Podcast

As we wrap up our study of Psalm 119 during Devoted Live, we turn to Psalm 119:176, where we find an interesting nugget tucked away in the conclusion that shows us a simple yet powerful model for the believer. As we confess when we have gone astray, seek the Lord with humble dependence, and remember His Word, we’re reminded that the God we seek is the One who faithfully seeks and finds us.

During our March 2026 Devoted Live, we continue our study of Psalm 119 by exploring the joy found in God’s Word as we learn to approach it not as a list of rules, but as a true blessing to delight in. As we navigate every season and circumstance, we learn how the Word produces joy in our lives as we follow it in obedience, rely upon it for steadfastness in trials, and share it with others whom we encounter in our daily lives.

As we begin our study on Psalm 119 during February 2026 Devoted Live, we examine how to confidently respond to common criticisms of the Bible by understanding why God’s Word is trustworthy, accurate, and reliable. As we consider what we believe about the Bible and why it matters, we’re reminded that the Word reveals who God is, who we are, and the truth that saves our souls.

We conclude our fall Devoted Live series by turning to 2 Peter 1:5-11 to learn what it means to supplement our faith by diligently growing in godly characteristics. As we learn to walk in these traits, may we continue to strengthen and build ourselves in faith and in steadfast obedience to His Word.

We continue our Devoted Live series on faith by turning to Romans 10:17 to discover how hearing the Word of God strengthens and builds our faith. As we hold fast to His promises, put faith into practice, and grow in our knowledge of who He is, we can anchor our hearts in Scripture and stand firm through every season.

A Bible teaching titled “Devoted Live | Defining Faith” from Amy McReynolds.

Let’s be honest—no one likes a test. But 2 Corinthians 13:5 calls us to a simple yet essential examination of ourselves. During our May 2025 Devoted, we see what we are instructed to test within ourselves and discover that the answers are clearly given when we turn to God’s Word.

We live in a culture where nearly everyone and everything is trying to gain influence over our lives. So, how do we discern what we should let in and what we should do about the things we don’t want swaying us? In our April 2025 Devoted Live study, we explore practical tips from Ephesians 5:1-15 to help us guard against the things that will destroy us and cultivate what draws us closer to God and His Word.

Maybe it's something serious or maybe a bit more peculiar, but we all have things that we fear. In our March 2025 Devoted Live, we look into the topic of fear to see what Scripture says about being afraid and the type of fear we should actually be cultivating in our lives.

For our February 2025 Devoted Live, we are joined by women’s ministry matriarch Judy Slaughter for a sweet time of Q&A. Covering topics such as relationships, waiting on the Lord, and discovering God’s plan for our lives, Judy shares wisdom and counsel from the Scriptures that will help us grow as women devoted to God and His Word.

Do you ever feel like you appear fine on the outside while inwardly struggling with brokenness, guilt, and shame? In our January 2025 Devoted Live, Amy McReynolds shares biblical truths to help combat these feelings and embrace the promise of becoming a new creation in Christ, as declared in 2 Corinthians 5:17.

"What's God's will for my life?" is a question many Christians often find themselves asking. While Scripture may not always give specific answers to individual situations, it offers clear guidance on many aspects of God's will. As we look at one such instance in 1 Thessalonians 4:3-7, we see how God would have us address sexual immorality, pursue holiness, and abide in His Word when faced with temptation.

Throughout history, people have asked, 'Who am I?'—a question we still grapple with as women today. In our September 2024 Devoted Live study, we'll explore Colossians 2:2-5 to discover who God says we are and how we should live in light of this truth.

As we fight back against what the world says we should be as women, ensuring we are appropriately dressed for battle is imperative. Fortunately, Ephesians 6:10-20 tells us exactly what we should be wearing. In our May 2024 Devoted Live study, we examine the armor we must put on as we pursue truth, share the Gospel message to an ever-darkening world, and strive to become the godly women we were created to be.

Women are constantly inundated with messages from the world telling us that we must be flawless and noticed for our physical looks, known for something significant, and that our voices must be heard to achieve inner peace and happiness. In our April 2024 Devoted Live, Amy contrasts these things the world screams at us with what the Bible says about how we are seen, known, and heard by God as we fulfill the role He has given us as women.

In Judges 4, we meet a remarkable woman named Deborah, but who she is and what role she really plays in helping to defend Israel has been widely misinterpreted within our feministic culture. In our February 2024 Devoted study, we dig in to see what the Bible actually says about Deborah and how she is a beautiful model of what God created women to be.

Our worldview determines our perspective of everything around us. And there are great differences between the worldviews of Christians and non-believers. Amy looks at the worldview of both and focuses on what our worldview should be according to the Word of God.

As the world befriends Satan’s devices, how do we stand out as Christians? Amy shows us what the Bible says about being holy. Let us not partake in what the world has for us but what the Lord promises us!

Amy looks at the roles women are called to fill in the church and compares complementarian and egalitarian views. What a joy to serve the Lord in sweet submission to the structure outlined in His Word!

In a day of prevailing "victimhood," Amy discusses how Ruth and Naomi reacted to their trying situations with faith and humility. Let us seek to glorify the Lord, and not ourselves, when experiencing trials.

Amy discusses how to be an individual, beautifully designed woman that glorifies her Creator in modesty and humility.

Amy dives into the book of Colossians to go over the basics of what our relationship with God should look like. We are reminded of who Christ is, who we are, and how we can respect and keep Him first.

We are fighting a spiritual battle, and it is so important that we stay at our posts and do not give up ground to the enemy. Amy highlights several women of the Bible that remained faithful at their posts, and we are encouraged to do the same.

Judy Slaughter sits down to share her wisdom on seeking and hearing from the Lord, raising children for Christ, supporting loved ones in the grip of depression, and other questions faced by women in the church. She also shares a few specific verses that impacted her life and are sure to encourage you too!

Christians are a hated minority in today's culture because God calls us to be different and set apart from the world. However, we are not alone when we gather with other believers, and Amy encourages us to be salt and light, putting on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Amy looks at Philippians 4:8 and challenges us to take captive every thought that is not true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, and praiseworthy. Let us run all our thoughts through the filter of God's Word!

Amy examines what our spiritual walk should look like and how we can walk in the way of the Spirit and not the flesh. While our walk through this world can be challenging, we can rejoice that we are walking toward our eternal home.

Amy walks through the progression from living in compliance with the world, to living with complacency, to finally becoming complicit with the darkness around us. We are encouraged to be alert and separate from the world, looking to Christ as our example.

Our lives can look messy and dark, and that's because we're fighting a spiritual battle! Amy looks at the armor of God listed in Ephesians 6:12 and discusses how important each piece is in resisting the devil and his tactics.

Proverbs 14:1 compares the wise woman who builds up her house to the foolish woman who tears it down. Amy challenges us to invest our time and money into building our relationships with the Lord and with our families.

Amy looks at Eve's part in the fall of humanity and the tactics Satan used to tempt her. We are warned to look to Scripture alone for wisdom and truth, and to find spiritual safety in the covering and insight of godly men.

Amy reminds us that we are called to be a hammer and not a nail, checking the Word instead of letting the world drive our beliefs. In frightening and evil days, we can embrace God's truth, take courage, and have joy!

Amy examines the themes of "home" and "shelter" found throughout Psalm 91. What a sweet place of comfort and growth to be abiding and dwelling in the Lord during times of trial!

The world pins our worth on who we become and what we accomplish, but in reality, our value and identity are both found in Christ. Amy looks at how we can bring glory to the image of God with a spirit of humility and servanthood.

The way to discern between things that are right and those that are just a bit off is to check them against the truth of Scripture. Amy challenges us to be intentional about spending time in the Word so that we will be equipped to recognize what is true.
