Depression
Forgive Yourself
You (just like everyone else) have seen your failures and sins up close – and that can make it hard to forgive yourself. Maybe you knew better, but you goofed up anyway. Maybe you believe there’s some sort of lifelong penance you must pay. But there’s not. Let these 6 lessons show how you’ve already been forgiven in Christ, and give you the faith to forgive yourself and move forward.
Anxiety Not!
Fear has a couple of ugly first cousins that cause a lot of trouble; they are anxiety and worry. All three are toxic and must be dealt with. The Good News is … God, in His word, reveals everything we need to know to totally eradicate them from our lives. God’s word is like medicine to the soul and spirit: apply it daily until you are anxiety free.
Broken by Fear, Anchored in Hope
In this seven-day plan based on his book Broken By Fear, Anchored in Hope: Faithfulness in an Age of Anxiety, Rob Merchant explores issues of shame, despair, anxiety—and how we can begin to heal and find hope when we surrender fully to Christ.
In The Middle Of The Mess
This reading plan features excerpts from Sheila Walsh's book In the Middle of the Mess, which is designed to help women find peace and strength in God as they struggle with hardships in life. She uses her personal stories and experiences to explain that women should not feel shame or fear as they learn to face God in their authenticity.
Glorious Weakness By Alia Joy
Weakness does not disqualify you from inclusion in the kingdom of God—instead, it is your invitation to enter. Our week together of studying God’s Word will also serve as a personal exploration of what it means to be “poor in spirit.” I believe that sharing vulnerability in a safe place allows communion to happen and hope to grow again. What if weakness is one of our greatest strengths?
Hope Over The Horizon
Often, the bravest thing you can do is continue to make it through the day, even when you have little hope for tomorrow. Have you ever been there? The theme of these audio-guided meditations is finding hope over the horizon. Day 1 will remind you of the anchoring hope of God. Day 2 considers God overtaking fear. And Day 3 is finding hope in divine promises.
