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

The 700th 4th Day Letter

The 700th 4th Day Letter

Please join me in celebrating my 700th 4th Day Letter. When I sat down to write this week’s 4th Day Letter, I reflected upon the memories of so many past messages. I can hardly believe that I have written seven hundred over the past 13 plus years. I only set out with...

“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,...

It’s Time To Move

It’s Time To Move

Moving is never easy. It can disrupt our routines, pull us away from friends, and fill us with uncertainty. Yet sometimes, we know deep down that we’re being called to move. In 1999, my family and I left the comfort of close friendships in Florida and stepped into the...

The Annunciation – A Lenten Call to Surrender and Trust

The Annunciation – A Lenten Call to Surrender and Trust

As you know, Lent is a time set aside for deep reflection, repentance, and preparation. As we journey toward the Good Friday cross and the glorious resurrection of Christ on Easter Sunday, we seek to align our hearts with God’s will, stripping away the distractions of...

Lost In A Dark Wood

Lost In A Dark Wood

During my freshman year at Ohio State, I read Dante’s Inferno as part of a class called Religious and Secular Man. This book left a deep impression on me. Drawing inspiration from it, I thought I would attempt something totally different. As we continue to make our...

What Circumcision Means to You

What Circumcision Means to You

Circumcision, that ancient practice first instituted by God as a sign of His covenant with Abraham, might seem puzzling to us as modern Christians. Why would God choose such an intimate and painful act to signify belonging to Him? And what could this ancient ritual...

Pulled From The Mud

Pulled From The Mud

Life has a way of pulling us into the mud. At one time or another, every person finds themselves sinking into a pit—sometimes of their own making, sometimes through no fault of their own. It could be the weight of addiction, the burden of guilt, the exhaustion of...

The Five-Second Rule

The Five-Second Rule

Last week I wrote about the difficult and painful issue of sudden death. Therefore, I thought we needed something lighter and uplifting this week. I decided to write about the Five-Second Rule. We’ve all been there. Our favorite food slips from our fingers, landing on...

Suddenly Gone

Suddenly Gone

Life is fragile. We are here one moment and gone the next. There have been several recent airplane crashes in the news. The tragic collision between an American Airlines flight and a U.S. Army helicopter over Washington, D.C. is a sobering reminder of just how quickly...

Brian’s powerful message helps men and women come to understand God’s powerful mercy and redemption through their own brokenness.
