When we are hurt, we can carry the stench of lies, betrayal, and pain with us. It can haunt us, follow us and hold us back. But what if we were able to shed our suffering? What if our hurt didn’t hold us back after all. This seven day devotion will walk you through the steps of transforming pain to peace, hurt to healing, and rejection to redemption.

This devotional is an invitation to feel, to wrestle, to be fully awake in your suffering after miscarriage or other loss.

Wherever you are on your journey of grief after losing a baby—or any kind of personal heartache or suffering—I pray these words will be a gateway for God’s grace. Let’s dive deep together.

Jesus was not just a spiritual leader. Such a perception underplays his leadership capability, considering how he transformed twelve ordinary and if we are honest, unlikely men, into the first generation of leaders of a movement that continues to affect the course of world history 2,000 years later. Jesus provides the template for Kingdom-style leadership that we can model to transform any given situation, team or organization. More than ever, good biblical leadership is required not only in our church environment but in every area of society. Regardless of your title, role or status you have an opportunity to bring about cultural transformation by positioning yourself as a Kingdom-style leader. What leadership opportunities do you have as you go about your daily activities and how can you learn to lead like Jesus? Let’s explore this over the next seven days.
