About

Truth Has a Name

Features
Read full description

Truth Has a Name is a quiet place to be with God. Not another feed to keep up with — a companion for the few honest minutes a day when you want to pray, to listen, and to be met by Scripture rather than by noise. • Guide — be led, one question at a time, from what's on your heart toward what God might be saying in it. It reflects back what it hears, and lands in Christ. • Abide — a guided devotion you can simply listen to. Choose a length, choose stillness or soft music, and let a passage and a short reflection carry you into prayer. • Scripture — read the Bible plainly, or follow Daily Bread, a reading that meets you where you are and gives you room to respond. • Ask Anything — a companion grounded in Scripture, for the questions you're turning over. It's honest about what it doesn't know, and it points you back to the Word. • Together — a small, private circle. Share a verse that carried you, ask for prayer, sit with someone in theirs. Only the people you've invited ever see it. Come as you are. There's nothing to keep up with, and nothing to perform — just a door you can open each morning.
