2026 Reading Plan Reflections - Day 91
by Walt Martin on April 3rd, 2026
Unripe fruit tells a story. Bananas that never ripen stay on the sill. Melons that don’t mature lack sweetness, texture—everything they were meant to become. They’re not useless. Just… less than. And that’s the warning. A life choked by distraction doesn’t stop being a Christian life. It just becomes a stunted one. Less fruitful. Less formed. Less mature than what grace is working toward.  Read More

2026 Reading Plan Reflections - Day 90
by Walt Martin on April 3rd, 2026
Jesus looks at the people of His day—and what He sees isn’t just resistance. It’s distraction. Not a lack of information. Not a lack of signs. Not even a lack of religious activity. Distraction. Noise that never settles. Endless demands. Preferences that shift with the moment. Judgment that comes quickly and sticks. Sound familiar? It should. Because it’s not just their story.

He calls us higher.  Read More

They had been waiting for the Messiah. Just not this one. They wanted someone who would reinforce what they already valued. Someone who would protect their position, preserve their system, and affirm their expectations. But Jesus doesn’t do that. He exposes it.  Read More

2026 Reading Plan Reflections - Days 85 & 86
by Walt Martin on April 1st, 2026
A little distance. A little margin. Enough room for people to actually hear. And then… He turns that borrowed space into a moment that changes everything. Simon, James, and John thought they were just helping a teacher. But obedience—simple, practical obedience—opened the door for something deeper. A catch they couldn’t explain. A call they couldn’t ignore. A life they couldn’t go back to. Jesus made space. And they stepped into it.  Read More
