Christian Standard Bible: Do you ever sit down with your Bible, ready to really dig in… and then get pulled a hundred different directions? I want to tell you about something I love: the CSB Spiral-Bound Notetaking Bible. It lays completely flat, with wide margins made for sermon notes, prayers, and reflections — so you can record what God is teaching you and look back on it later. It’s perfect for your own quiet time, and a beautiful tool for your small group, too. Click here to grab yours today.
Unsifted: What if bread wasn't actually the problem? We've been told to cut the carbs, fear the gluten, avoid the bread basket. But what if it was never the wheat — it was what we did to it? Most store-bought flour was milled months ago — stripped of its fiber, its enzymes, its nutrients. By the time it hits your kitchen, the good stuff is already gone.
Unsifted changes that. Their Starter Kit with premium pre-blended whole grains let you mill fresh flour at home in just seconds— no complicated ratios, no guesswork, no failed loaves. Just whole grains, freshly milled, baked into something your family will actually fight over. Go to unsifted.com to learn more.
