What is The Holy Poke?
The Holy Poke is a subtle yet profound way God communicates with us, nudging us toward a better understanding of His presence and a deeper connection with our purpose.
His messages are conveyed through sermons at church, conversations with friends, or chance encounters with colleagues or strangers in everyday settings like work or the grocery store line.
God also speaks to us through the events and circumstances of our lives, whether initiated by ourselves or others. Sometimes, those pokes may lead to suffering as well.
This divine nudge is called The Holy Poke. It serves as a reminder to set us on the right path toward God, toward His will, toward doing and being better, and ultimately toward eternity in His Kingdom.

Holy Pokes in The Bible
Throughout scripture, we find parallels to these Holy Pokes serving as reminders of our blessings and cautionary tales of consequence. Whether it's a compassionate gesture towards a stranger or the repercussions of our actions, each instance invites us to awaken to the divine guidance surrounding us.
A positive Holy Poke (by coincidence or a friend sending you to this site) can serve as an uplifting nudge, while a negative one may lead you to suffer the consequences of your wrongdoing, whether minor or severe.
Just as Paul experienced a dramatic encounter being knocked off his horse, our own "horse" may be the loss of a loved one, a near-miss while driving recklessly, or even a sudden interruption like a frozen screen during inappropriate online activities. These seemingly coincidental occurrences are Divine interventions or manifestations of God's Holy Pokes in our lives.
Every day you can practice positive pokes in your community.
We are all God’s children, brothers and sisters, who need to help each other. What will you do today?
