Jordan Hanson opens Daybreak Devotionals with his standard introduction before sharing a personal story. About a year earlier, he and Anessa had a conversation with a close friend about what God was doing in her life. He describes the conversation as both inspiring and challenging, noting the friend was specific about how God had been revealing himself to her over the past year. Hanson observes that while many people claim to desire or have deep faith, few actually reach the level this friend has attained. He characterizes her trust as all-encompassing — strong enough that some would call it crazy. He immediately reframes this: putting full trust in God is never crazy. He introduces Acts 17:28 as the verse she is living out: in him we live, and move, and exist. Hanson argues that if a person can hold this truth daily, most challenges will fall into place. He frames God as the proper focus, the everything, and the filter for all experience. He then adds a historical note: Paul's quotation in Acts 17:28 was drawn from pagan Greek poetry — Paul was speaking to a non-Jewish audience and used their own poets' words to communicate biblical truth. Hanson calls this an example of how biblical truth can reach even the most unlikely people. He closes by expressing genuine pride in his friend and what she is experiencing spiritually. He broadens the invitation to all listeners, including those who consider themselves farthest from faith. He ends with the signature benediction and an invitation to return tomorrow.
