In Proverbs 3:6, we are reminded, 'in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.' This principle is often explored in Bible devotional books, emphasizing the importance of Christian mentorship within a faith-based community.
About the Christian Devotional Ministry
Hey there, I’m Carl Barrett.
I’m the founder of Monday Blues to Sunday Pews, a ministry built on one simple but life-changing truth: God’s Word still speaks today, and we just need to slow down and listen.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of writing a series of Bible devotional books that walk through the Bible one step at a time, from Genesis to Numbers and beyond. These aren’t just Bible studies; they’re real-life guides for people who want to know what God was saying then and how that still shapes the way we live, love, and lead today.
Alongside writing, I’ve served in Christian mentorship through prison ministry for many years as a mentor, chaplain, and instructor with the National Fatherhood Initiative. That work has opened the door to interviews and opportunities across the country — and it remains a passion close to my heart. I’m also currently serving as the Ministry Leader for First Impressions and Greeters at Central Tyler, where I help create a warm and welcoming space for every person who walks through our doors.
Whether you’re in the middle of a breakthrough or barely holding it together, my hope is that these books become a gentle nudge, a daily reminder that God sees you, knows you, and hasn’t stopped working in your life.
This ministry is for the intentional follower of Jesus — the one who wants more than just a Sunday faith and seeks to be part of a faith-based community. If that’s you, welcome. I’m honored to walk this road with you.
