Daily Journal

The old adage “you are what you eat” applies to all forms of consumption, not just dietary. In today’s information-saturated, screen-dominated world, we can’t help but consume a lot. This endless stream of marketing, news, opinion, entertainment, and more has an immense formational influence on us. We become what we behold, even if much of our beholding is unintentional, a simple consequence of the 21st century.

How do followers of Jesus, especially those new to the faith and deeply needing to be formed out of the world’s images and into Christ’s, counter these myriad other influences? One way is by embracing time-tested spiritual disciplines and “means of grace.” Two of the most foundational are habits of regular Scripture study and intentional, undistracted, biblically-informed prayer.

Cru’s Daily Journal is designed just for this. Young and more seasoned believers alike will find in it simple questions to guide meditation on any Scripture passage, and prompts to pray through key aspects of prayer, such as praise, confession, and listening. Creators Jessica and Mark Wilson guide users with introduction to each element, and the Journal has ample white space for note taking. A closing section with information and invitation to involvement in several Cru ministries and events makes Cru’s Daily Journal a perfect gift for disciples of Christ connected to all parts of Cru’s ministry, as well as those who’ve never heard of Cru before.
