WORDS TO LIVE BY is a 30 day devotional. The main theme carried throughout each day is, you can’t, but Jesus can. It is only because Jesus was victorious over sin on your behalf that you can have strength from the Holy Spirit to live in obedience to Him. The motivation for living by these words is given to you because of what 1 John 4:19 says, “We love because He first loved us.”

​Looking for purpose?

We all are. Every day we go about life for something. Is our FOR worth all the time and effort we put into it. Ever wonder if what you do is actually making a difference? What if most of the self help and leadership books, podcasts and influencers are wrong? What if the answer to finding your place in this world was not by making money, achieving a position and making a name for yourself? What if your purpose was to live for eternity and make a name for Jesus?

​"For from him and through him
and for him are all things."
​Romans 11:36

From. Through. For.

All these words are monosyllables. A child just learning to read could easily spell them out. But their meaning is profound. 
​It is all from Him
It is all through Him
It is all for Him

When you align your life to this truth that you were created from Him, through Him and for Him, everything changes. It’s for His pleasure that you are created, and you find your fulfillment in bringing Him glory and honor. See, your purpose is found by knowing the One you were created FOR.

“For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭


​Our Leadership

Jonathan & Precious Mast

We are followers of Jesus who are passionate about living on mission as disciples of Jesus Christ. We have four beautiful kids: Zoe, Jesse, Addie and Izzie. We love to spend time together as a family boating on the river, enjoying bonfires, hiking, sledding and building snow forts in the winter.  We also love people and enjoy having friends over to the house, drinking coffee and talking about life and the Lord. We launched the For Initiative in 2020 during a global pandemic in an effort to advance the gospel and see lives transformed by Jesus Christ. Our passion is to see every single person transformed, mobilized by Jesus and living out their God-given purpose for His glory. Our hope is that you will join us in this movement.
​We would love to hear from you soon!
"For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose...
​as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ ​that I did not run or labor in vain."
Philippians 2:13 & 16
