The storms of life come for all of us. Unexpected loss, painful betrayal, unshakable fear, and the quiet ache of disappointment can leave us breathless and unsure if we have the strength to keep going. Still Waters Don't Make Saints is an invitation to discover the God who meets us in those storms and never abandons us in the waves. In this 21-day journey, pastor and author Chari Orozco walks with you through the storms we often try to avoid such as grief, fear, betrayal, shame, doubt, and more, showing how Scripture anchors us when everything feels uncertain. Each day features a main passage, a thoughtful reflection, and practical rhythms that help you draw near to Jesus in the middle of real and often messy moments. This is not a polished, perfect-life devotional. There are no formulas here, no quick fixes, and no pretending the storm does not hurt. Instead, you will find raw honesty, biblical encouragement, and daily practices to strengthen your faith. Whether you are in the middle of a storm, walking alongside someone who is, or looking to deepen your faith for when the waves inevitably come, Still Waters Don't Make Saints will remind you that still waters do not make saints, but storms…they just might. "There are voices that preach from platforms, and then there are voices like Chari's, formed in the hidden places, refined by storms, and anchored in lived experience. Still Water Don't Make Saints isn't just a devotional; it's a companion for the fiercest battles of the soul. These words aren't theory. They've been walked out, wrestled through, and soaked in prayer. With uncommon vulnerability and unshakable truth, Chari invites us to meet God not beyond the storm, but within it. Not once we've cleaned up, but exactly where the chaos rages. And she writes with the authority of someone who has stayed when it was easier to run, trusted when the outcome was unclear, and led with faithfulness when no one else was watching. This devotional is for the weary, the wondering, and the ones still wading through. It will meet you in the middle and gently, powerfully, walk you toward healing, hope, and holy formation. Chari has lived these words. And because she has, we can trust them."

Chari helps us find gold in deep and dark waters through revelation, clarity, and biblical insight. Chari doesn't just talk about what to do with the storms of life, she walks us practically though them. She's allowed the storms of life to shape her, and now we get to eat the redemptive fruit from lessons she's learned..it's barely fair. This book is a flashlight in the dark night, a compass to the one feeling a little lost, and hope for the weary soul. Thank you Chari for putting these words on paper. It's a privilege to know you and an honor to walk with you. Carry on good friend." DeAnn Carpenter Director of Refuge W.I.L.D. And Author of "Throwing Confetti."
