What we’re Listening to on the Farm this week
Hope Darst – “Mighty Name Of Jesus”
on the book stack at the farm
Not your ordinary topical devotional, All In, All Yours is a full-blown, straight-up Bible study as you go chapter by chapter, step by step, city by city through the Promised Land. By the time you wrap up the 100-day journey, you’ll have traveled in-depth through the entire book of Joshua (and some) . . . HELLO, BIBLE SCHOLAR. There will be giants, resistance, and question marks, but just as the land was promised to the Israelites nevertheless, we in Christ are guaranteed our own territory as well . . . the free, abundant life through Jesus.
Friends, if you or anyone you care deeply about is in ministry, there’s real healing to be found in the pages of Jamin’s book today!
It is a book that invites us all, once again, to experience the lavish grace of God in our lives. Pick up copy for yourself and for your pastor — Pastoral Confessions will be a blessing to any pastor who reads it. In these pages the good news of the gospel rings out! For more information, check out JaminGoggin.com
Can we Meet You in January?
Hope Story Conference
We’re gathering for our 8th annual Writer’s Conference in beautiful Charlotte, NC on January 29-31, 2026, and we’d love you to join us! Experience three unforgettable days designed to awaken your words, strengthen your voice, and surround you with a community who believes in the power of story.
Across the weekend, you’ll hear best selling authors and keynote voices, learn from workshop presenters who will help refine your craft, and step into quiet writing rooms where inspiration becomes practice. Thursday night we’ll pause for Celebrate Your Story—a joyful evening where we recognize the milestones of our Hope*Books authors and invite everyone in the room to see what’s possible for their own writing journey.
This is more than another event. It’s a gathering designed to move your writing forward.

Anyone else thinking about gifts already? You can get our JOURNALs for nearly 50% off right now!
Unlike other gratitude journals as it’s uniquely formatted to daily see how God has shown up with gifts on this day of the month, on all the previous months, Gifts & Gratitudes, with spacious lines to name three gifts each day, gently helps grow trust in a God who doesn’t always explain our suffering but who always enters into it with us. Taking pen to paper each day will help trace God’s goodness… which powerfully mends our hearts in tender seasons. And because of Jesus… there is always, always, always something — Someone — to be thankful for.
If you’re seeking deeper peace, in a world of tender pain…. if you’re looking for hope in the midst of all kinds of hurt… I can honestly say NOTHING HAS CHANGED MY LIFE & STOKED MY HOPE AND JOY LIKE GIVING THANKS LIKE THIS!
When you don’t know what or who to count on in days like this, when you need a soul reset our reorientation… if you start counting Gifts & Gratitudes — your eyes… and heart… begin to open to Who you can always count on…. especially on the most tender days.
We should all have these hanging up!
The Blood | Dante Bowe

Share Whatever Is Good.
