New 60-Day Devotional
for Men through
the Gospel of John
We all have 1440 minutes each day, which means 7 minutes is less than 1% of your daily schedule. Can seven minutes change your day? Can 1% of your day radically impact each day? To answer those questions, let’s look at what can happen in 7 minutes. An experienced runner can run a mile and a half in seven minutes; A NASCAR driver can drive 21 miles in 7 minutes. The average jet can carry you 65 miles in 7 minutes. So, what can happen in 7 minutes is determined by the amount of power behind you.
Is there anything or anyone more powerful than God? Absolutely not. Without question, no one or nothing is mightier than our God. So, what would happen if you spent seven minutes each day in God’s Word? The possibilities are limitless. There is no way to determine how far God can carry you forward in that short amount of time if you commit it daily to Him. Perhaps God could use that time to kickstart your spiritual maturity and make you more like Him.

7 Minutes with Jesus for New Believers is a 60-Day Devotional for New Believers. Many new Christians struggle with what to do after they receive salvation. These first days after salvation are vitally important for their future spiritual maturity. In addition, the best time to encourage believers toward spiritual growth is when they are the most excited about Jesus Christ. However, most churches don’t have a resource to give new believers that will help them in their new journey.
7 Minutes with Jesus for New Believers is a short daily devotional that is easy to understand and inspiring. It is short enough to stay with for 60 days while also providing new believers with significant wisdom for what they will need in their walk with Christ. The Scripture passages are short and learnable, so the impact can be life-transforming.
I am excited about what this devotional can mean in the lives of New Believers. I am also thrilled at the resource it can be for churches needing to provide the crucial next step for those who have recently trusted in Jesus Christ for salvation!
Below is the new Study Guide that is a free resource to go along with the new 60-Day devotional for new believers. May it encourage a mature Christian to walk alongside a new belIEVER IN THEIr journey toward discipleship.
