Your doubts aren’t a sign of spiritual collapse but of a faith that is screaming out for substance and truth.

In a world trained to shout past each other, this new podcast from my friend @JusBrierley is an invitation to think deeper, listen better, and rediscover the humanity on the other side of disagreement.

@NASA @AstroVicGlover Love this. Infinity surrounds us, yet we are intimately known.

As communities gather this weekend, @AstroVicGlover reflects on the shared spaceship we all call home: Earth.

I talked with Shelbi Shutt about life after a painful diagnosis, the grief that followed, and what faith has looked like while carrying unanswered questions. One of the most meaningful conversations I’ve had on the podcast. Available on all streaming platforms. https://t.co/ej4mKPpQ9n

Prayer is not how we get to God; it is how we discover He never left.

[Dominic Done @DominicDone]

I had a really meaningful conversation with Stan Jantz about The Chosen, the global impact it’s having right now, and how beauty and storytelling are helping people encounter Jesus again.

God doesn't demand that we understand him, but he does ask us to trust him. @dominicdone

[Dominic Done @DominicDone]

“Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay” (Habakkuk 2:3).

What do you do when nothing seems to be happening?

The job hasn’t changed. The relationship is still strained. The prayer remains unanswered.

What looks like stagnation is often the slow schooling of desire. Long before anything changes, attention is being retrained, expectations pared back, the soul learning to live without guarantees. Much of this work happens while life still feels unformed, before anything has taken a recognizable shape. This is why the quiet work of ordering your life still matters when prayer feels unanswered. Drift costs nothing; formation exacts a price. God’s answers do not follow our calendars. They arrive like light into a void, without warning or announcement.

Creation always begins in what looks uninhabitable.

[Dominic Done @DominicDone]

Forgiveness is the quiet, defiant act of building a future the past is no longer allowed to govern.

[Dominic Done @DominicDone]

Step into 2026 with hope.
What you called failure was the collapse of what could no longer hold you. What you named disappointment was the slow clearing of what was never meant to last. What you feared was the end was the moment your life found truer ground.

The gospel is not the promise that you will one day be whole; it is the revelation that wholeness has already claimed you.

[Dominic Done @DominicDone]

The peace you’re chasing lives in the stillness you avoid.

[Dominic Done @DominicDone]

Maybe this year demanded more than you could give. You learned the weight of hours. You were tested. You wore thin. Time pressed into the tender places of your life, asking what you didn’t know how to give.

Yet you kept moving.

And something took shape there. A deeper density. A steadiness. A way of praying shaped by the language of hope. A faith formed where trust outlasted understanding.

Whatever comes next will meet someone already redeemed by the long work of enduring.

@richsbrown3 Thanks, Rich! Merry Christmas!

[Dominic Done @DominicDone]

The one who spun galaxies
tightened himself
into bone and flesh,
into hunger,
into the ache of cold straw
against newborn skin.

Heaven does not remain above.
Earth does not remain alone.
They are stitched together
with sinew and blood and breath.

And time learns to kneel here,
the end hidden in the beginning,
God choosing not the throne,
but the long road home
with us.

[Mike Linch @mikelinch]

Prayer doesn’t awaken God’s compassion; it awakens mine. @dominicdone

@MarkYocom1 Thanks, Mark

[Dominic Done @DominicDone]

If your faith depends on people not failing you, it was never rooted in Christ. Jesus didn’t say, “Follow My followers.” He said, “Follow Me.”

[Dominic Done @DominicDone]

Surrender the illusion that spiritual maturity can be hurried.

Scripture shows that God forms people with a deliberate slowness, working inside us long before anything on the surface makes sense. Abraham lived years on a promise he couldn’t yet see, Moses spent decades in the quiet far from any spotlight, and David learned who he was long before anyone called him king. This is how God works. He strengthens the soul before He reveals what it can carry.

When we stop fighting the pace, waiting becomes the ground where something real begins to grow. God shapes the future in you long before He reveals it to you.

[Dominic Done @DominicDone]

Thanks, Rich

A very good word from @DominicDone in this First Week of Advent:

https://t.co/e33TsuHP0Y

Luke 1:46–47, 49–50

And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord... For he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation."

[Dominic Done @DominicDone]

Gratitude is the quiet practice of living toward the world God has promised. It teaches the soul to see beyond the fog of ordinary days and catch the first glimmer of the kingdom drawing near. Each act of thanksgiving bends us toward that future and makes us ready to receive what we cannot yet see.

Gratitude is how the soul learns to live on earth as it is in heaven.
