1000s Of People Are Building Their Own App With Ai. Are You?

Every tool you're paying for right now was built by someone who's never done your job. They guessed at what you needed, wrapped it in a subscription, and now you're locked in - paying monthly for software that's 80% of what you actually want.

That other 20%? It's costing you time, workarounds, and money every single week.

Justin Burns figured out how to close that gap. He builds the exact tool he needs using AI - no code, no developers, no waiting. And this July 22-24, he's showing you how to do the same thing, live, in three days.

The event is free. The app you walk away with is yours.

Grab your seat for the Apps Built With AI Summit and stop paying for software that almost works.

🧠 Devotional

Have you ever wondered, “Am I really saved?”

Maybe you’ve had that thought after falling into the same sin again. Or maybe you’ve wondered, “What if I didn’t believe enough?” If you’ve ever wrestled with those questions, you’re not alone.

Today, people often call this salvation anxiety. You won’t find that phrase in the Bible, but you will find the struggle behind it. It’s the fear that somehow you don’t belong to God, that your faith isn’t enough, or that one failure has separated you from Him.

The apostle John knew believers wrestled with those fears. That’s why he wrote,

“I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” (1 John 5:13)

Think about that for a second.

John is writing to people who already believe. He isn’t trying to make them question their salvation. He’s reminding them where their confidence should come from. God doesn’t want His children living in constant fear. He wants them to rest in what He has promised.

We also see this struggle in Mark 9. A father begged Jesus to heal his son and said,

“I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24)

That verse is so honest. He wasn’t pretending to have perfect faith. He admitted he was struggling, and Jesus didn’t send him away. He helped him.

That’s encouraging because salvation has never been about having perfect faith. It’s about having faith in a perfect Savior. Even genuine believers can wrestle with doubts, ask hard questions, and still belong to Christ.

So what’s the answer to salvation anxiety?

It’s not pretending your doubts aren’t real. It’s not trying to convince yourself you’re a better Christian than you really are.

The answer is to stop asking, “Is my faith good enough?” and start asking, “Is Jesus enough?”

The Bible’s answer is yes.

When your heart begins to doubt, don’t let your feelings have the final word. Go back to God’s Word. Go back to the cross. Go back to Christ.

Your confidence isn’t found in the strength of your faith.

It’s found in the strength of your Savior.
