It’s all in your head. But what if that’s a good thing? Our thoughts are more than a reaction to what’s happening in our lives—they’re a powerful force for shaping who we are and who we can become. Learn from everyday people like you how you can use the powerful truth of Romans 12:2 to unleash the mastermind inside you.

This series is based on Psalm 42:5-6. We’re going to see how to face discouragement and depression and the strategies the Bible gives us to escape it. Start today and take a first step in facing the discouragements in your life!

When we deeply accept our Father’s embrace, we will be neither self- rejecting nor prideful; rather, we will become humble and grateful. When we see ourselves as God sees us, we find true freedom. This plan uses the parable of the Prodigal Son to reveal how God's love can change you. Part 1 starts with the son realm of the parable.

Many of us want to have a closer relationship with God, but we don’t know where to start. When other people suggest prayer, it feels too formal, intimidating, or ineffectual. This plan will help readers know God more intimately and experience the power of prayer as each day gives tangible examples of how to have more meaningful conversations with God.

Sometimes, we have to go through circumstances that we don’t understand. Knowing that all things work together for our good encourages us and gives us hope for the future. The goal of this reading plan about Romans 8:28 is to engrave this truth into your heart: God causes everything to work together for your good!

The Bible may seem an unlikely source to turn to for answers, but there’s no mistaking the face of depression as a psalmist cries out to God in anguish or as Job laments the day of his birth. Amid their pain and suffering, they find hope in God. Their accounts and the encouraging words of others in Scripture can help you navigate the murky waters of depression.
