Awakened: A 52-Week Progressive Christian Devotional
by Caleb J. Lines
Embark on a transformative journey with Awakened: A 52-Week Progressive Christian Devotional, a devotional guiding readers through 13 powerful themes like renewal, diversity, and mental health. Fusing scripture, progressive Christian insights, and engaging discussions, each week nurtures a faith that unites intellect and emotion.
When progressive Christians awaken to the realization of how our faith interact with the world, we may struggle to figure out where to start—there is so much work to do! We must also nurture healthier faith communities and culture that unite the head and the heart. Awakened is a unique devotional structured around 13 themes with four weeks on each theme. Themes include renewal, diversity, eco-spirituality, mental health, LGBTQ+ inclusion, science, and more. Each devotional includes scripture, a reflection on the theme from a progressive Christian perspective, questions for personal reflection or group discussion, and a spiritual practice.
