When we make choices and follow paths that lead nowhere, we get stuck in dead-end thinking. If our businesses are going to grow and if we're going to flourish in life, we must be dependent on God to shape our thinking and our behavior. This 6-day plan will challenge you to let God change the way you think about your mindset, blind spots, and independence.

Your home is not your physical address. Your real home, this side of heaven, is your heart. As a Christian, it’s the most sacred part of your life, where Christ lovingly resides. Contentment is found when Jesus fully occupies every room and holds the keys to your heart. Join me on a journey to transform your heart into a home of comfort, stability, and peace. At home with Him!

The world is a battlefield. Not only literally, when people groups or countries are fighting, but also spiritually. Satan has declared war on God and God’s people. This sounds terrifying, and therefore it is important to know that Jesus is stronger. He is stronger than sin, stronger than Satan, and stronger even than death itself. And if you belong to Him, you share in His victory!

Discipleship works against fear. As we obey God’s commands, we entrust ourselves to him. Like the students attending the schools founded by D. L. Moody in Northfield, MA, God’s people “are encouraged to test the meaning and value of the Bible’s teachings experimentally, by acting upon them, and living them out.” As we “test experimentally” the word of God, we will find that we will have fewer and fewer reasons to be afraid.

Written by Paul in prison, Ephesians beautifully describes the vast reality of the gospel. Chosen before the foundation of the earth, God’s eternal plan of redemption takes spiritually dead men and women and raises them to life in Christ. Ephesians reminds us the gospel is all of God, all of grace, and all purposed “to show the immeasurable riches of His grace towards us in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:7).

Who am I? What am I doing? Whether we’re facing a season of change, pain, loss, or just the regular hard stuff of life, we want certainty and solid footing in answering questions about our identity and purpose. In Paul’s letter to the church in Ephesus, he firmly roots our being and our doing in the person and work of Jesus so that we can answer those big questions.

This plan is intended as a guide to discovering the message of Ephesians for yourself! Grab a notebook to jot down your thoughts as you are led through a process of: 1) Observing the text of Ephesians 2) Interpreting its original message to the Ephesian church in the first century 3) Applying the letter’s timeless truths to your life today.

Our calling is our vocation in the world, but in Christ, it is an inclusive invitation from God to step into His purposes and plans for our lives. We live out our callings as God reveals His will over time. In this reading plan, Krista Pettiford invites you to embrace the fullness of your calling and live it out season by season.

So many people are hampered by negative and harmful emotions. This brings much pain and leads to a joyless life with feelings of hopelessness. But Jesus remedies for them all.
