Welcome to Adulting - A 7-Day Devotional by Jonathan “JP” Pokluda.  For many of us, transitioning from school to adulthood is difficult. But sometimes we make it harder than it needs to be. In this devotional, we’ll see how Scripture illuminates topics like relationships, career, and money. If you are limping a bit or flat out struggling to gain your footing in this new world, let’s walk it together. 

In a crowded Christmas season, most of us feel the stress and anxiety of family relationships, financial pressure, hasty decisions, and disappointed expectations. So go ahead. Take a breath. Start this Life.Church Bible Plan and realize the weight we feel may be something God never asked us to carry. How about we let go of the baggage? Let’s travel light.

In our busy and performance-based culture today, worry and anxiety are felt by the majority of people to some varying degree. This often leads to extreme weariness and pressure. In Scripture, God provides freedom and peace. This study will help in guiding you to the many scriptures that walk through His truth when dealing with anxiety.

You are invited to keep a Jesus-pace of life. Do you feel constantly busy but, deep down, constantly soul-weary? Together, we will discover Scripture that leads to greater peace, understand why retreating with God restores perspective, and learn to handle the stress of life with calm. These gifts are heard in God’s whispers for your life—gentle words that He will use to draw you close and build you up.

I believe that this next week we have together will be wonderful! We’re starting a series of 7 texts to learn how to seek the Kingdom of God, based on Matthew 6:33. We are all seeking more, and we all have expectations for our lives: to be happy, to succeed professionally and personally, to be healthy, to overcome our limits, etc.

Does God really hear your prayers? You’d like to believe it, but sometimes it’s difficult not to wonder if he’s really listening. Sometimes we’re sure he’s not. This 7 day devotional will guide you through the assurance the Bible gives that God does hear our prayers.

We’re all chasing something. Usually something just out of reach—a better job, a more comfortable home, a perfect family, the approval of others. But isn’t this tiring? Is there a better way? Find out in this new Life.Church Bible Plan, accompanying Pastor Craig Groeschel’s message series, Chasing Carrots.

Pastor, professor, and writer Chris Nye says that people in the West worship growth: we believe that very few things get worse as they get bigger. The result is we become isolated and self-celebrating, chasing power and money. The Bible, however, calls us to live in community, where there are no celebrities. We don’t grab power; we lay it down.

In the world that we live in, things are not as they should be. One might even say they are upside down. However, the good news is that Jesus came to turn this world right side up. What if our eyes were opened to the REALITY that the kingdom of heaven is in fact here?

Worry, anxiety, and fear have power in many of our lives. We allow them to imprison us rather than allowing God’s Word to free us. This devotional is intended to encourage you, embolden you, and guide you toward a life of peace in a troubled world. Worry, anxiety, and fear are not your portion, but peace is!
