4th Day Letters

4th Day Letters are a FREE weekly email that is sent out every Tuesday to Christians around the world. I began these letters in response to a calling God placed on my heart in 2011. My purpose is to inspire, motivate and challenge Christian to be the best followers of Jesus Christ they can be, so that they can leave a Christian impact on everyone they encounter each day.

The name “4th Day Letters” is derived from Christian movements like Cursillo, Kairos, Via de Cristo, and Walk to Emmaus. Each of these movements are experienced over 3 days. Following those three days these Christians are called to live out their 4th Day through prayer, study and evangelization.

It is also important to acknowledge that Jesus rose on the 3rd day, therefore all humanity is living out its historical 4th day.

I hope these weekly letters inspire, motivate and challenge you as you live out your 4th Day and walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ.

May God’s Blessing Be With You

WHY? WHY? WHY?

WHY? WHY? WHY?

Why do we keep doing the very things we promised ourselves—and God—we wouldn’t do? Why does temptation feel like it has our number on speed dial? Why did saints, and why do all Christians keep falling? If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of sin and repentance,...

Tripping Over The Final Hurdle

Tripping Over The Final Hurdle

Sausage Making Is Not a Pretty Process

Sausage Making Is Not a Pretty Process

It has often been said that sausage making is an ugly process. The end product may be tasty, but if you ever saw how it was made, you might think twice before eating it. This might be an appropriate analogy for the process of selecting a new pope. It’s not always...

Freedom

Freedom

We often assume that people behind prison walls are the ones truly trapped, while those of us walking free are the ones who know what liberty feels like. But what if the opposite is true? During my recent prison retreat, I encountered men who, despite their crimes and...

“I Was in Prison and You Visited Me”

“I Was in Prison and You Visited Me”

Matthew 25:31-46 gives us the parable about the separation of the sheep from the goats. In it, Jesus tells us if we fail to care for the "least of these" (the hungry, thirsty, homeless, naked, sick, and imprisoned) we will go off to eternal punishment. Simply stated,...
