Just as a physically unhealthy heart can destroy your body, an emotionally and spiritually unhealthy heart can destroy you and your relationships. For the next five days, let Andy Stanley help you look within yourself for four common enemies of the heart — guilt, anger, greed, and jealousy — and teach you how to remove them. 

Enemies Of The Heart

Do you believe your struggle with anger stems from the wrong behavior you see displayed in your children? The knee-jerk reactions and blow-ups you’re facing are often a result of a bigger set of “triggers.” Some of these are external, like a child’s disobedience, backtalk, or selective hearing, while others are internal, like an overflowing schedule, sleep-deprivation, or perhaps your own painful experiences from childhood. This devotional by author Amber Lia offers biblical insight and practical tools to equip and encourage you on the journey away from anger-filled reactions toward gentle, biblical responses.

Serving as a caregiver for a loved one can be a rewarding yet overwhelming experience. Although helping someone in need is a form of support, who is there to encourage caregivers enduring the pressures of real life issues, anxiety, stress, and postponed desires? In this Bible plan, readers will discover that Jesus is the Divine Caregiver ready to encouragingly administer care to all who follow him.

We all have emotions that compete for control of our lives. And those emotions can get us in trouble when we let them be the boss of us. In this 7-day reading plan, Andy Stanley shares a scriptural “how-to” about saying no to destructive emotions. We need to monitor our hearts—not just our behavior—to prevent emotions like guilt, envy, fear, and anger from bossing us around.

You're Not the Boss of Me

The book of Jonah is a special Bible book. It is about a prophet who does not want to obey his commission.

Rebellion Meets Grace — the Story of the Prophet Jonah

Many couples know their marriage has room for improvement, but it is hard to pinpoint exactly why a relationship is suffering. Often times everyday triggers are the culprit. Angry reactions sabotage our marriages.

The ability to speak is one of the most important advantages of humans over other creatures, but how many problems we get into for not using that skill wisely. This 3-day plan gives us wisdom to use our mouth for good and not for bad, to be a blessing to others with our words, constructing instead of destroying. Do not miss it!

Learn To Use Your Mouth Wisely

Have you been hurt?  Chances are, you probably have. But it’s not okay to stay hurt. Because that’s unforgiveness, and it’s like drinking poison and expecting the other guy to die – it’s eating your lunch. God doesn’t want you to hurt anymore! Forgiveness is the only way to cut the chain of hurt and bitterness so you can be free.  This reading plan contains excerpt from Karen’s book “I Forgive You, But….”  (http://iforgiveyoubook.com/) 

I Forgive You, But…

There is possibly no more carefully navigated response than to the question “How Ya Feeling?” We long for and loath this question because we must either remain at the surface or expose what lies beneath. Jesus reminds us that to feel is to be human; to feel is to walk through valleys and mountains; to feel is to imitate Christ. Learn to properly engage your emotions to be like Christ.

How Ya Feeling?

This plan will walk us through how that often happens, and what we can do to get back on track. 

Offside

Anger is a human emotion that God doesn’t condemn. The Lord understands that it can happen. You are a human being, not a superhero! So, anger in itself is not a sin. However, the Bible encourages us to not hold on to it…“‘Be angry, and do not sin’. This plan will teach you what the Bible says about anger and how you can deal with your anger.

Free From Anger

It’s likely you have a giant in your life that is holding you captive, intimidating you, and stealing your joy. Adversaries like fear, rejection, comfort, anger, and addiction stake a claim and gain a foothold in your heart. In this seven-day reading plan, Louie Giglio examines the David and Goliath story to show how those giants can fall:  by focusing on the size of our God, not the height of your giants, and by walking in the victory Jesus has already won.

Goliath Must Fall: Winning The Battle Against Your Giants

As Christian believers, we rejoice in knowing all things work together for our good, (Romans 8:28). No matter what we experience in life, we expect to emerge victorious.
