Purpose of the Blog
The Light of Christ Journey blog is updated daily to inspire individuals. This support reassures people that the Lord cares and is involved in their lives. Additionally, we produce a weekly radio broadcast and podcast that complements the daily blog. Each devotional blog and podcast contributes to a broader message series that challenges and uplifts you on your journey.
Since posting our first blog in May 2019, we have continued to reach people worldwide with the good news of Jesus. After the United States, our top seven reader nations for 2025 are the Philippines, Nigeria, India, South Africa, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Kenya.
Prayers about future Blog Topics
Each series we develop comes together after a time of seeking the Lord. The theme of each message is prayed about and developed as the Lord leads us. Our current series is called “Growing in Transitions.” Transitions are part of life, although they can be challenging. Amidst this, what is God teaching us through transitions that can make us better people and refine us in the process? This series is from April 12 to May 31, 2026.
About the Blogger
Pastor Tom Graves serves as Transitional Pastor at St. Paul Lutheran in Orion, Illinois. As part of the church’s ministry, Light of Christ Media warmly connects with many people through radio, podcasting, daily devotions, and online small-group resources.
Along my journey, fellow believers have been and continue to be instrumental in my spiritual growth. My wife, Paula, is also a Transitional Pastor at St. Paul and joins me each week as we bring the Scriptures to life with the Lord’s help.
We look forward to serving you and hearing about your spiritual journey.
