Summary

Writer, author, and creator of Scribble Devos Whitney Lowe joins Blake to discuss her new devotional, Set Your Eyes Higher, which focuses on four key themes: identity and insecurity, wisdom and humility, capacity and burnout, and scarcity and abundance. Whitney explains that the devotional aims to move beyond surface-level Christianity by addressing real-life struggles through a lens of scripture. They emphasize the value of devotionals as accessible "on-ramps" to deeper scripture engagement, especially for people overwhelmed by life or new to faith. The conversation also critiques the prideful tendency to dismiss devotionals, suggesting that even brief moments with God can yield profound spiritual growth. Ultimately, the episode highlights the importance of anchoring one's identity and pursuits in God's abundance rather than cultural expectations or personal performance. In this episode, you’ll be able to… Reflect on how pride, insecurity, and identity influence your relationship with God and others. Learn how to apply spiritual wisdom and build resilience by trusting in God's guidance, even in overwhelming circumstances. Discover practical ways to stay rooted in your calling without succumbing to burnout, fear, or societal pressures. Whitney Lowe is the author of Set Your Eyes Higher - available everywhere now!
