Study after study tells us that rest is critical for our physical, mental, and emotional health. Rest matters so much to God that He even made it one of His commandments. We know we should rest—so why don’t we? In this simple 5-day Plan, we’ll look at why, when, where, and how we should rest, and even with whom.

A plan to give strength and encouragement to those going through life's difficulties through God and His word—a rock to stand on.

Have you ever read a story that you wanted to be a part of? Your Bible tells the story of history, from beginning to end, and you are one of the characters! In order to understand your role, you first have to know who's story you're a part of. Over the next five days, come get to know God, the creator of the universe.

As New York pastor Rich Villodas defines it, a deeply formed life is a life marked by integration, intersection, intertwining, and interweaving, holding together multiple layers of spiritual formation. This kind of life calls us to be people who cultivate lives with God in prayer, move toward reconciliation, work for justice, have healthy inner lives, and see our bodies and sexuality as gifts to steward.

It has never been more difficult to flee sexual immorality and pursue holiness. We live in an age of unprecedented access to sexual temptation. The struggle with lust is fierce battle, an enslaving addiction, and a deep brokenness. Pastor Joe Rigney shows us that through the gospel it is the Holy Spirit that gives us victory, sets us free, and heals our wounds.

Join us as we take a look at what it means to rest boldly in God. While we were created with a purpose, we were also given space to rest and we’ll look at several situations in which to do that…boldly!

Join us on this 5-day reading plan as we walk through God's redemptive plan for our work. This plan maps out a robust theology of work drawn from the whole of scripture. We will start with creation in Genesis and see how the Bible describes the purpose of our work until the new heavens and new earth. We are excited to explore the theme of work throughout redemptive history together!

Throughout the day, most of us have the urge to pick up our phones or open our computers for some reason or another. Sometimes it might be innocuous, but what if it leads us away from our Creator?

Rest. We all need it but all too often don’t get enough of it. In the hustle of life, rest can be overlooked, not prioritized, and forgotten. We hope this plan helps you to refresh and renew your heart and spirit. To seek God in your life and circumstance. To find comfort in His ever-loving arms.

Work is important. It existed before the fall, and is tied into the curse of the fall. Rest is also important and is referred to very often throughout Scripture, right in the first pages.
