1 Corinthians 8:2

Christian leadership is radically different from any other form of leadership. With the church and community crying out for good leaders, this plan is the first of seven foundations for Christian leaders who are called by God to have a powerful godly influence. There is a lot of work involved in these plans, but it will be worth it. And God’s grace is where it all starts!

Beliefs Part 1 is the ninth in a series of Plans that helps you establish a strong biblical foundation as a follower of Jesus. Most new Christians are not looking for a sugar-coated version of the Bible. They’re looking for truth. In this Plan, we consider some foundational Christian beliefs and explore how to respond when you find your beliefs differ from the beliefs of other Christians.

Grieving Christians face a unique challenge by way of "religious parts"—parts of the human soul that are activated around religious matters. These parts may quote Scripture to prevent us from accessing our emotions, thereby blocking our healing from grief. This reading plan introduces you to religious parts, their intentions, as well as biblical examples. You will have the opportunity to transform your own religious parts in the process.

What do you do when your circumstances don’t line up with the goodness of the God you read about in the Bible? What do you do when your experiences disagree with what your heart knows about God? This devotional reminds us that when we’re in the valley of the shadow of death, remembering who God is and who he made us to be provides the comfort and perspective we need.
