Through Scripture and the lyrics of their song, “Belong to You,” Iron Bell Music leads you on a journey to learn how your identity and destiny are found in the truth that you belong to God.


Belong to You by Iron Bell Music

There are literally hundreds of scriptures on the soul. However, there’s no clear explanation between it, our God given spirit and the importance of keeping it "healthy". This devotional aims to show how important it is to keep our souls nourished so that we may fulfill the will of God for our lives

Soul Prosperity

We all go through tough times. We all struggle and even suffer, even as Christians. The real problem comes when we allow the negativity of these events get into our head and produce in us a Victim Mentality. The good news is that with the help of God’s Word, you can overcome!    

Victim Or Victor—It's Your Choice

Why is everything in life so hard? Why does doing the right thing often feel like a battle? In this new series, Pastor Rick shares insights from God’s Word about the unseen spiritual forces working against us; the invisible war between good and evil. This series will help you win the battle within.

The Invisible War

The dip is when you can see where you want to be, but no matter how hard you try, it seems you can’t get there. You begin to lose hope and doubt you’ll ever reach it. It’s where your dream is just out of reach and you feel stuck. We all have a dream, but there is always a dip before you get there. Don’t Quit in the Dip.

Don't Quit in the Dip

"Does anybody even care about me at all?" Yes. God's love for you endures forever.

Finding Strength in Depression

Ever felt like your work doesn’t matter? Ever felt like your job is less important or eternally significant than the work of a pastor or “full-time missionary”? These feelings are normal in the Church today. But the good news is, they are totally unbiblical. As this four day plan will show, not only does your work matter, but it is one of the primary ways God has called you to glorify Him and love and serve your neighbors.

Does My Work Matter?

Is there grace to be found in the spaces where Jesus doesn’t come through for us like we thought He would? The name Lazarus means ‘God has helped’, and his story is a deep revelation of grace and truth in the most devastating circumstances. This 7-day devotion will reveal how we can not only discover but wholly trust in the grace and power of Jesus when disappointment comes.

Finding Grace in Disappointment (Lessons from Lazarus)

I've had highs. I've had lows. How about you? Do you like that?? Me neither! Mustering up joy doesn't last does it? The Holy Spirit using Scripture brings joy despite hard times. What we think - that's what we act like. This plan will help us focus on what right thinking is! 

Depression is terrible experience—it feels like you are dropping down a dark, bottomless hole … with no hope in sight. But one of the greatest promises we have in the Bible is that He will “never leave you nor forsake you” (Heb. 13:5). And it’s through prayer that this promise is realized because prayer draws us close to Jesus Christ and ushers us into God’s very presence. So stay close to God in prayer always, knowing that He is aware of your heart’s deepest cry!

In The Middle Of The Mess

Mental illness can make us feel extremely alone, like we’re the only ones with it, feeling like no one understands. Then shame loads on, self worth cripples, hope dissolves, and vision is blurred. Then we hit rock bottom. But let me tell you my friend, you are NEVER alone. You will never be alone as our God is omnipresent, available, listening, watching over you, and walking beside you. -Elle Limebear

What's in Your Head? From Elle Limebear

As you follow this prescription – celebrating God’s goodness, asking for his help, leaving your concerns with him, and meditating on good things – you will experience God’s peace. While anxiety is a part of life, it doesn’t have to dominate your life. 

Anxious for Nothing

“In the presence of the Lord is the fullness of joy.” Then why aren’t we joyful all the time? It’s because we still have this flesh and if we allow it, it can keep us in this emotional rollercoaster. This reading plan aims to help you get off this emotional ride by learning to walk and abide in Christ so you can live in the fullness of joy.

Peace - Get off the Emotional Rollercoaster

Do you ever feel vacant and drained?  Encountering Christ is both about feeling complete and no longer being empty.

The following reflection faces fears of the unknown. The third meditation addresses fears of evil.


Conquering Fear

God’s word is like medicine to the soul and spirit: apply it daily until you are anxiety free.

Remember To Give Thanks!

The Bible may seem an unlikely source to turn to for answers, but there’s no mistaking the face of depression as a psalmist cries out to God in anguish or as Job laments the day of his birth. Amid their pain and suffering, they find hope in God. Their accounts and the encouraging words of others in Scripture can help you navigate the murky waters of depression. 

Finding God In Your Depression

What To Do When You Don't Love Your Job

Do you have the feeling that no one really gets you—even your friends? Do you long for close relationships, but haven’t been able to find them? Not only does God promise to be close to us, he also provides companionship—and through his church, he even gives us a family.  

Loneliness

After a loss of any kind, whether it be the death of a loved one, losing a job, or maybe a expectation gone unfulfilled, we can go into a place of grief. In this plan, adapted from #IMUST: 40 Days of Encouragement through Grief and Loss, Chidi Wosu will help you find purpose through pain. You can get through this. With God, you must be restored.

Purpose Through Pain

Grief can feel unbearable. Although well-meaning friends and family offer support and encouragement, we often still feel like no one really understands—that we’re alone in our suffering. In this plan, you’ll encounter comforting Scriptures to help you find perspective from God, feel our Savior’s great concern for you, and experience relief from your pain.

Grief
