Tanner's Bible Ministry

Our goal through this ministry is to share Tanner's love through God's word with as many people as possible! Tanner was a typical 21 year old Texas boy.

He was intelligent and had a curiosity for life beyond his years from a young age. He was an athlete and had a passion for most sports, but excelled in wrestling and football... and was an avid Dallas Cowboys fan. Tanner was a gentle soul and had a deep love for his family. He was a socializer and made friends easily. He had a large network of friends and had a heart for giving the best of himself to everyone - whether through a kind word of encouragement or an act of selflessness. Tanner also was suffering from his own struggles with consequences of bad decisions and addiction. He never showed his own pain and struggle - always offering encouragement or support to others. Tragically, Tanner passed away at the age of 21 on December 3, 2020 due to a fentanyl overdose. His death has left an emptiness that will never be filled this side of heaven for so many family and friends. Tanner always admired his big brother Justin. His pride and greatest joy was being an uncle to his nieces and nephew Austyn, Asher and Alyxiia Moore. He also took great pride in being a big brother to his younger twin siblings - brother and sister Kelly & Karli! He left behind a grief stricken dad, Kenneth, mom, Stephanie and many extended family members and friends. Tanner is remembered most for his infectious smile, compassionate heart, lifting people up even when he was at a low point in life and his love for everyone he met, especially his family. Tanner was a hugger and loved giving and receiving hugs. He had recently added a new tattoo on his forearm to his collection, "family" - he was really proud of that one. We will forever be Tanner's family and our prayer is to bring honor to his memory and share his love through God's word - one bible at a time!

📖 Verse of the Day

“You make known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.”

Psalm 16:11

Reflection:

Some days are so good we wish they could last forever: a long lunch with an old friend, a table full of laughter on a holiday, a golden afternoon when everything feels right. But even the best days end. Before we know it, the sun is down, the dishes are done, and it’s over.

David delighted in the good things God gave him. “The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places,” he wrote. Yet his greatest joy was God Himself: “You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.”

Eternal pleasures. Not for an afternoon, but forever.

When Peter preached at Pentecost, he said this psalm was speaking of Jesus, whom God raised from the dead. Jesus has walked the path of life out of the grave, and He opens it to everyone who belongs to Him.

So enjoy each day’s gifts, and when a happy day ends, you can let it go with a thankful heart. Every one of its joys came from Him. And in His presence, the joy won’t end when the day does.

Ask Yourself:

Which good day would I love to have back, and what would I like to tell God about it?

What small joy could I share with someone today?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Father in Heaven,

I smile when I remember the happiest days of my life, and sometimes my heart aches a little that they had to end. Thank You for every one of them, and for the people who made them so dear. And today, even in the ordinary moments, please let me feel the joy of being near You. Because Jesus lives, I know a day is coming when I’ll be home with You forever, and there will be no more goodbyes.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

📖 Verse of the Day

“Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.”

Psalm 42:11

Reflection:

We all talk to ourselves. Sometimes it’s out loud, while we hunt for the car keys. Sometimes it’s a quiet pep talk before something hard. But on a heavy day, when we’re worn out or worried or missing someone, that inner voice can turn unkind. It replays every mistake and says nothing will ever change.

Psalm 42 lets us overhear one of those conversations. Its writer was hurting. “My tears have been my food day and night,” he wrote. But instead of just listening to his heart, he talked back to it: “Why, my soul, are you downcast?” And he told it where to look: “Put your hope in God.”

He didn’t say it just once. These same words appear three times in this psalm and the next. He had to remind his heart, and then remind it again.

So be gentle with your heart when it needs reminding. Point it back to God today, and again tomorrow, as many times as it takes.

And the next time that inner voice says nothing will ever change, answer it the way the psalmist did, with one small word: yet. “I will yet praise Him.”

Ask Yourself:

What truth about God does my heart most need to hear today?

How could I answer my own heart the next time it feels downcast?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Dear Lord,

Like the deer that longs for water, my heart longs for You. Thank You that I can come to You just as I am, even when I feel low and can’t say why.

On the days my hope runs thin, help me speak hope to my own heart, as often as I need to. Thank You that Your love is with me by day, and Your song is with me through the night.

Thank You that I can never sink too low for You to reach me, my Savior and my God.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

📖 Verse of the Day

“I will give thanks to You, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonderful deeds.”

Psalm 9:1

Reflection:

Gratitude isn’t always easy. On some days, the reasons to thank God are everywhere. On others, when you’re tired or hurting, you look at your life and think, I don’t even know where to start.

David gives us a simple place to begin. He doesn’t wait until he feels thankful. He makes a choice: “I will give thanks to You, Lord, with all my heart.” And he knew hard days. In this same psalm, he calls the Lord “a stronghold in times of trouble.”

Wholehearted thanks is less about having a perfect life and more about having a practiced memory. It looks back and names the ways God came through: the friend He sent at just the right time, the strength He gave when yours ran out, the peace you still can’t explain.

The more you remember, the more you see that He was carrying you all along. So today, you don’t have to pretend everything is easy. You can be honest about the hard and still say, Lord, I remember what You’ve done, and with all my heart, I thank You.

Ask Yourself:

What’s one way God has carried me that I’ve forgotten to thank Him for?

How could remembering His past faithfulness change how I face today?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Dear Father,

When my heart is heavy, it’s hard to find the words to thank You. But when I stop and remember, my heart fills up.

Thank You for showing up when I needed You most, and for carrying me in ways I didn’t even notice at the time. Thank You for the prayers You answered, and for holding me close through the ones I’m still praying.

I could never tell of all You’ve done for me, Lord, but with all my heart, thank You.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

🖋 Quote of the Day

“We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts.”

📖 Verse of the Day

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Galatians 6:9

Reflection:

Sometimes there’s a quiet moment, often at the end of a long day, when you’ve given and prayed and shown up again, and nothing seems to change. And the question slips in: Why do I even bother?

Paul knew that feeling. Today’s verse comes from a letter to people he had poured his life into. Earlier in that letter, he tells them he was afraid all his work for them had been wasted. And yet, a little further on, he wrote, “Let us not become weary in doing good.”

Maybe someone has told you, even years later, that something you said or did helped them through a hard time. You might have long forgotten it. They never did. God’s harvest often comes like that: quietly, at the proper time, from seeds you didn’t even know you planted.

Take heart. The harvest may not be in sight yet, but God remembers every seed, even the ones you’ve forgotten, and not one of them will go to waste.

Ask Yourself:

Where am I most tempted to give up doing good because I don’t see results?

How might I view my efforts differently if I truly believed a harvest was coming?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Father in Heaven,

When I’m tired, and I can’t tell if any of the good I do is making a difference, thank You for treasuring what no one else even notices. Every quiet kindness. Every whispered prayer. Every time I chose to keep going when I wanted to stop.

When my strength runs low, please hold me up a little longer, and fill me again with the joy of doing it for You.

And whenever I feel like giving up, thank You for never giving up on me.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

📖 Verse of the Day

“He must become greater; I must become less.”

John 3:30

Reflection:

It’s hard to choose less in a world that screams “more.” To step back when every instinct says “forward.” To cheer for someone else when it could have been you. Yet John the Baptist, at the peak of his ministry, did just that, and found joy in it.

Imagine your life’s work, everything you’ve poured yourself into, slowly passing into someone else’s hands. That was John’s moment. His disciples came to him with the news: everyone was now going to Jesus.

But John? He was overjoyed. He said he was like the friend at a wedding who is full of joy just to hear the bridegroom’s voice. “That joy is mine,” he told them, “and it is now complete.”

Maybe you know a season like that, when a role you loved now belongs to someone else, or the people you care for need you less than they used to. It can feel like becoming less. But you are never less to God.

So when life asks you to step back, let it be a step closer to Jesus. That’s where John found his joy, and it’s still waiting there for you.

Ask Yourself:

Where is God asking me to step back, and could it be a step closer to Him?

What would it look like to find my joy in Jesus rather than in being needed or noticed?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Dear Father,

It isn’t always easy to step back and let someone else go first. Sometimes I hold on to my place, my plans and my way of doing things. Thank You that I never have to be at the center to be completely loved by You.

When it’s my turn to take a back seat, help me listen for Your voice the way John did, and find my joy there. Be greater in me, Lord. I’d rather have more of You than more of anything else, because with You, my joy is complete.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

📖 Verse of the Day

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”

2 Corinthians 5:17

Reflection:

Maybe there’s a part of your story you’d rather no one knew. Years you drifted far from God. A season you’re not proud of. An old label you’ve never managed to shake. Long after everyone else has moved on, the past can keep quietly telling you who you are.

Today’s verse says, “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come.” Anyone. That word has room for every story, including yours.

Think of Zacchaeus, the tax collector who climbed a tree just to see Jesus. When Jesus went home with him, the crowd muttered, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.” That was their name for him.

Jesus had a different one. He called him by name, and before the day was over, He called him a son of Abraham, one of God’s own family.

The old has gone. All of it.

Those labels may still whisper from time to time. But in Christ, they no longer get to name you.

So when the past tries to tell you who you are, listen for the One who knows your name. He has the final say, and He says you are new.

Ask Yourself:

What old label have I been carrying that God never gave me?

Where in my life am I longing to see God make something new?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Father in Heaven,

There are moments when my past speaks louder than it should. Thank You that it never gets the last word. Thank You for calling me Yours when I had nothing to bring, for washing away what I could never undo, and for the new life You’ve already begun in me.

When the old voices come back, may Yours be the one I hear above them all, gentle and sure, reminding me who I really am. What joy to know that in You, the old has gone and the new is here, even for me.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

📖 Verse of the Day

“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”

Psalm 91:1

Reflection:

We do everything we can to keep the people we love safe. We pray for them and check on them, and sometimes we still lie awake wondering if they’re all right. So much of what we worry about is out of our hands.

Psalm 91 is honest about the dangers of this world. It speaks of “the terror of night” and “the arrow that flies by day.” Yet it begins with a place to rest: the shelter of the Most High, the shadow of the Almighty.

To rest in someone’s shadow, you have to stay close to them. That’s where God invites you to live, so close to Him that His shadow falls over you. And near the end of the psalm, He promises the one who loves Him, “I will be with him in trouble.”

You can’t be with the people you love every moment, but He is. So bring Him every name on your heart, and rest in the shadow of the One who loves them even more than you do.

Ask Yourself:

What am I trying to keep safe on my own that I could trust God with today?

How could I be a small shelter for someone today, with a kind word or a prayer?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Heavenly Father,

When my mind races ahead to everything that could go wrong, I’m so grateful I can come to You. Thank You for being my safe place, and for watching over everyone I love. Please keep me near You today. And whenever I find myself standing guard again, I want to run straight back to You. Here in Your shelter, I can rest.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

🖋 Quote of the Day

📖 Verse of the Day

“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”

2 Timothy 1:7

Reflection:

Some mornings, fear wakes up before we do. It’s there in the waiting room before an appointment, or at the door of a gathering where we hardly know anyone. Sometimes it has no name at all, just a tightness inside that makes us want to stay home where it’s safe.

Paul wrote today’s words to Timothy, a friend he loved like a son. He hadn’t forgotten Timothy’s tears. “Recalling your tears,” he told him, “I long to see you.”

Paul didn’t save these words for the fearless. He sent them to someone who knew what it was to cry. And because the same Spirit lives in everyone who belongs to Jesus, they’re for you, too.

So if your hands still shake a little today, that’s all right. The power to take the next step, the love to reach out to whoever you meet and the clear mind to see it through don’t have to come from you. They come from Him, and He’s already in the room, waiting for you.

Ask Yourself:

What worry or fear could I hand over to God right now?

Is there someone I could call or write to today who might be feeling afraid?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Dear God,

When I look calm on the outside but feel anything but calm inside, what a relief that I don’t have to pretend with You. Thank You for seeing every fear I carry and loving me just the same. I’m holding on to the Spirit You’ve given me, who is stronger than anything I’ll face today. When someone near me is frightened, let me be as gentle with them as You are with me. I’m choosing to trust You with all of it, Lord.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

📖 Verse of the Day

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.”

Numbers 6:24-26

Reflection:

Maybe someone who loved you used to stand on the porch and wave as you drove away. You could still see them in the mirror, waving. It was their way of going with you as far as they could.

But we can only wave until the car turns the corner. God gave His people a blessing in words He chose Himself, asking Him to keep them, to turn His face toward them and to give them peace. Then He promised, “I will bless them.”

When it was time for Jesus to say goodbye to His friends, He lifted up His hands and blessed them. Then they went back to Jerusalem “with great joy.”

Because of Jesus, that blessing is yours, too. It doesn’t stop at the corner. It goes with you into every part of this day, and all the way home.

Ask Yourself:

What part of my day would I love to ask God to bless?

Who could I pray this blessing over today?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Father in Heaven,

Thank You for wanting to bless me, and for meaning every word. It’s such a comfort to know Your face is turned toward me wherever this day takes me. When the road ahead feels long or uncertain, I’d love to walk it in the light of Your smile. And may the people I love feel Your blessing, too, right where they are.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

📖 Verse of the Day

“Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”

Jeremiah 33:3

Reflection:

Most of us were raised not to be a bother. We say “I’m fine” when we’re not quite fine, and we hold off calling because everyone is so busy. Without even noticing, we can treat God the same way, saving our prayers for the big things and keeping the little worries to ourselves.

But listen to what God told Jeremiah. He was confined in the courtyard of the guard, with an army camped outside Jerusalem, when God spoke to him: “Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” God was the One asking.

Think of how you feel when someone you love calls. You don’t mind what it’s about, or that it’s the second call this week. You’re just glad to hear their voice.

That’s how your Father in heaven feels when you call on Him, whatever it’s about. You could never be a bother to Him. You’re His child, and He loves the sound of your voice.

Ask Yourself:

What could I talk over with God today, even something small?

Who would be glad to hear my voice today?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Dear Lord,

It means the world to me that I can come to You with anything, big or small. Some mornings I have so much to tell You, and some mornings I hardly know where to begin. Either way, here I am. I want to stay close to You all through this day, and bring You every part of it. I love You, Lord. Thank You for every moment I get to spend with You.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
