February 2024 Edition — Growing in Love and Faithfulness
Jesus Bible Foundation: The Heart Behind “Free Daily Devotional”
Established in 2017, the Jesus Bible Foundation sprouted from a profound realization: the timeless teachings of the Bible, in our rapidly evolving digital era, risked becoming eclipsed by the relentless surge of information. In response, a committed group of scholars, theologians, and laypeople rallied together, united by a collective vision: to reintroduce the Bible’s ageless wisdom into daily modern life in a way that is both accessible and profoundly relevant.
The core mission of the Jesus Bible Foundation was not merely to produce another devotional. Instead, it sought to curate a spiritual guide, rich in tradition but resonant with today’s joys and challenges. Recognizing that while the core of spiritual teachings is unchanging, their presentation and relevance must shift with the zeitgeist.
Their seminal publication, the “Free Daily Devotional,” was envisioned as a beacon for the world—freely available, ensuring that individuals from all walks of life, irrespective of financial circumstances, could access daily biblical wisdom. Each edition is meticulously crafted to guide, inspire, and uplift its readers on their spiritual journeys.
