April 30 – Strengthened Through Discipline

In today’s episode, Pastor Brandon Dirmann shares a devotion from Matthew 17, focusing on Jesus’ teaching about faith, unbelief, and the role of prayer and fasting. When the disciples were unable to cast out a demon, Jesus pointed to a lack of faith—not as condemnation, but as a reminder of what was needed. This message highlights that spiritual disciplines like prayer, fasting, and time in God’s Word are not about earning God’s approval, but about being strengthened, equipped, and filled with His power. As we consistently engage in these practices, our faith grows, our confidence deepens, and we are better prepared to walk in the purposes and promises God has for our lives.Today’s Reading:April 30 – 2 Samuel 20–21; Psalm 34; Matthew 17
