Petals from the Basket – the YouTube channel
- Click here to view our YouTube channel
- Every morning at 6:45, you’ll find a brief (2- to 5-minute) devotional challenge centered around a verse or passage of Scripture.
- These are not designed to replace your personal time with God or your study of His Word. We share them to start your day with biblical truth, to encourage you when you need a quick verse to dwell on, and to whet your appetite for further and deeper study of Scripture.
- You may subscribe to the morning devotionals by clicking the “Subscribe” button available on each video. To receive an e-mail notification when the new devotionals post, simply “ring the bell” (i.e., click the bell) next to the “Subscribe” button.

As for who “we” are…
The “bio” in our books says it best:
Brenda (Strohbehn) Henderson launched her faith-based blog, Petals from the Basket, in March 2012. As a woman who married for the first time at the age of fifty-five, Brenda brings a unique insight to the needs, joys, and concerns of women of all ages and from every marital status.
Joe Henderson, a retired international airline pilot, is lovingly called “Captain Joe” by all who know him well. Joe has joined Brenda in her love for writing and frequently contributes to their blog via “The Captain’s Corner,” where he intertwines his familiarity with the airline industry with practical biblical lessons.
The Hendersons reside in South Carolina, where they are active in their local church and enjoy writing, traveling, spending time with family, entertaining, and cheering on the Notre Dame football team!
