Romanɛ 2:1

There’s a lot of negativity that comes at you each day — things you have no control of. But you can take a lot of trash out of your life by reducing your trash talk when it comes to anger, lying, judging and more.

In this hustling, image-forward age of opportunity, we feel more anxious than ever. Despite all the affirming memes and self-reflections that dominate social media feeds, approval and worth often seem assigned to what we do rather than who we are. In When Strivings Cease, Ruth Chou Simons guides you on a journey to find freedom from the never-ending quest for self-improvement.

Life can leave us feeling alone, wounded, or weary. But the story of Scripture reminds us that even in our lowest moments, we are not abandoned—we are held. In this 5-day journey, teacher and author Scott Sauls gently guides us through how Jesus meets us in our loneliness, holds us with kindness, walks with us through hurt, and gives us strength in weakness. You’re not forgotten. You’re held.

Find rest in grace when life feels overwhelming.
