Each day of this devotional begins to unpack a "faith-law" and counters it with healthy, life-giving, authentic, biblically-based truth.

Taken from his best-selling book “Reframe,” Brian Hardin unpacks the often-overlooked core of the Gospel—a relationship with God. For many, a “personal relationship with Jesus” is nothing more than the gift we are given at the doorway of faith. We have it, but we don’t know what to do with it.

In our busy lives, suffering is considered an unwelcome guest. But could suffering really be a blessing from God? Because Christ suffered, we should also expect to suffer as we live for him.
