The Monday Pour
Faith in Focus. Truth for Today. Hope for the Week Ahead.
The Monday Pour is a weekly devotional from Hope Over Coffee designed to help you begin your week with Scripture before schedules, truth before distractions, and purpose before productivity.
Each Monday, we slow down long enough to open God’s Word, reflect on what He is teaching us, and ask the hard questions that shape our faith. These aren’t academic Bible studies or polished sermons—they’re honest reflections from my own walk with Christ. Together, we’ll wrestle with Scripture, examine our hearts, and discover how God’s truth transforms the ordinary moments of everyday life.
Whether you’re a husband, father, leader, or simply someone longing to follow Jesus more faithfully, my prayer is that every Monday Pour encourages you to know Christ more deeply and walk with Him more intentionally throughout the week.
So grab a cup of coffee, open your Bible, and let’s begin the week together.
