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.

Hey there, I’m Carl Barrett.

I'm Carl Barrett, founder of Monday Blues to Sunday Pews. This ministry was born from one core belief — God's Word still speaks, and our daily walk with Him still matters. Through a growing collection of devotionals, my heart is to help believers connect Scripture to real life, one step at a time.

Our vision

Our mission

To be a simple vessel that helps people rediscover the timeless voice of God through His Word. Our books are designed to bridge the gap between what God was saying then and how it still speaks to us today — calling us to live with intention, depth, and faith in every part of life.

Our mission

To publish resources that ignite spiritual growth, inspire daily faithfulness, and help spread God’s Word to those who need it most. Through every book, partnership, and act of generosity, we aim to serve others and share the practical, life-giving truth of Scripture around the world.

Our mission

Our History

Born from a desire to bridge the gap between Sunday sermons and Monday struggles, Monday Blues to Sunday Pews began with Carl Barrett’s devotionals. What started small has grown into a ministry helping believers apply God’s Word to real life, one day, one step, one book at a time.

Books by Carl

Monday Blues to Sunday Pews

Monday Blues to Sunday Pews is a growing series of devotionals by Carl Barrett that walks readers through the Bible — one book, one chapter, and one step at a time. It began as a five-book journey through the first books of Scripture, but it’s become something bigger: a long-term mission to equip believers with practical, biblical tools for real life.

Each book speaks directly into the heart of everyday struggles — from doubt and disconnection to fear, lawlessness, and fatigue — while challenging readers to move from weekend faith to everyday obedience. Whether you’re new in your walk or deep in ministry, this series meets you where you are and helps you walk closer with God, with intentionality and impact.

Built around a rhythm of reflection, gratitude, growth, and service, these devotionals invite readers to not just consume truth, but to live it out. Many even share their takeaways on the ministry’s site to encourage others in their walk. And because ministry is the mission, more than half of all proceeds go toward outreach, missions, and getting the Word into more hands around the world.

TRUSTING GOD TO THE PROMISED LAND

In a world filled with uncertainty, anxiety, and spiritual fatigue, Trusting God to the Promised Land offers a much-needed reminder of where true strength and peace are found. This new devotional from Carl Barrett walks readers through the Book of Joshua, challenging believers to anchor their faith more deeply in God’s promises—especially in life’s most intense seasons.

Monday Blues to Sunday Pews: Walking Through the Bible One Step at a Time

There’s a moment when the noise gets too loud. When faith starts to fade between Sunday and Monday. I’ve been there, tired, distracted, running on empty. That’s why I wrote this book—not to preach, but to offer encouragement and remind you that God’s presence isn’t found in perfection. It’s found in the daily steps of our Christian ministry. In the coffee-stained mornings. In the long days that test your patience. In the quiet moments where you choose to walk with Him anyway. Because faith isn’t a weekend event. It’s a daily decision, much like the lessons in devotional books.
