Deep knowing, the knowing one is given that is unexplainable yet more real and true. It is a gift, pure. One cannot regift it. Yet it is for anyone, everyone, who stops to open it. Be still and know. The sea, deep and wild, inviting and dangerous, beautiful and terrifying, is such a rich picture of our God, the God. Water is like this knowing, penetrable up to a point until one goes too deep and it can crush you. And once you come out, it quickly evaporates, like a dream, and you’re dry again, wondering, what was that? This sea of life offers both salvation and death, buoyancy and crushing, but always the hard of Jesus if we simply cry out, “Lord, save me!” Thank you for this time of swimming in Hebrews.
This study of Hebrews has lifted my soul, deepen my faith, and given me courage.
JL, your ability to use your personal life and weave it into the story of those who have gone before us is a gift. It has allowed my processed oriented mind to be opened to see even more.
Thank you, for sharing the artwork. I can get lost in artwork. I did notice the pieces shared. I will now go and look at more of this work. Water speaks to me. It was a beautiful touch and it fits so wonderfully into this study. Thank you for the work you did putting it together.
I feel a sense of sadness today as this is our last time together. I pray for each person that was a part of the study. I post that God will continue to be present each day as we live and walk their life in faith. May God bless you and keep you going with courageous faith!
Thank you for this study JL! I feel it has stirred in me the desire to spur people on to deeper endurance. Endurance that is marked by joy with our eyes firmly fixed on Jesus together with all who have gone before us.
I felt so inspired by the idea of a deep dive into Scripture that I am in the middle of writing a Lent devotional for my church to use as we prepare for Easter. I'm at day 13 so far but by faith I will complete it!
This study had been so helpful. I have long realized that every time I read scripture I get more out of it. I never dreamed Hebrews 11 was so full of deep truths. It has been inspiring. I pray to go to deep waters and put out my net. Thank you for navigating this study.
I have loved this study. There are times I fell behind and caught up three days at once, but it was the absolutely best use of 42 days. I crave more!! What’s next??
This study has strengthen my understanding of what faith is, believing and knowing God will take care of every need and even when there seems to be no answer he has something better than anything we could think of. This and much more. Thankyou for diving derp
I echo others' gratitude for this deep dive into Hebrews 11. Thank you for your work in creating it - God has gifted you and I am very curious about what else might come in the future from your creative endeavors! :)
I especially appreciate the *slowing down* of this study, and the focus not only on the academics but also on our emotions. The Monday "review the chapter", the "silence" to start, so much! Thank you!

Amazing! I want to see it when you’re done.
I have cherished this study in Hebrews 11. Thank you for inviting us out to sea, JL.
😊❤️
Thank you for the Hebrews 11 devotional. I looked forward to it every day. I cried with it often. My soul is strengthened and my faith encouraged.
Faith is not just a word carelessly tossed around. It’s a purposeful word. I loved the study.

Thank you for creating and sharing this study. It’s been a great encouragement. I hope you’ll do more like it in the future.
Me too! Let’s do it again.
Thank you for leading this beautiful and deeply impactful study!
Now that it’s been a week since we finished I keep thinking of more to share! This book is definitely deep water.
