Life Verse

JUDE 23

the idea

There's something about a good campfire. The air cools, everybody pulls their chair closer, somebody sets a marshmallow on fire like they didn't see it coming. Eventually you head home thinking the campfire stayed behind. Then somebody says, "you smell like smoke." The next morning your hoodie still carries it.

That's not a bad smell. You got close enough for the fire to leave its mark on you.

So what if our lives carried evidence that we'd been close to people in pain, people with doubts, people who had wandered, and people one step from losing hope?

The smoke is evidence of proximity.

“We will not smell like smoke because we started fires with our words. We will smell like smoke because we got close enough to people who need hope.”
— The Call · Contend for the Faith

Jude 23

Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment.

Jude wrote one chapter. He spent it on rescue.

  • "Trevor DeVage is one of the most relevant young communicators of our day. With a unique blend of humor, passion, experience and a generous dose of “hip”, he knows how to make a Biblical message connect."

    —Cal Jernigan, Lead Pastor, Central Christian Church of Arizona

  • "Some leaders inspire life change. Others offer deep insight. Trevor does both. With intentionality, clarity, and words that carry weight, he leads listeners to see what really matters—loving God and loving people."

    —Caleb Kaltenbach, author of Messy Grace and God of Tomorrow
