哥林多前书 11:7

If you are a husband or father, then you are in a war—because war has been declared on the biblical family. Today, leading a family through the chaos of American culture is like leading a small patrol through enemy-occupied territory.

Our view of God is initially formed in our family of origin. Unfortunately, this means that many of us reach adulthood believing things about God that aren’t true—and we often don’t even realize it.

Spend six days with Dr. Ramesh Richard, president of RREACH (a Global Proclamation Ministry) and professor at Dallas Theological Seminary, as he offers pastoral insights on how to carry out God’s mission for your life. Through God’s Spirit, you can be empowered to rightly order the three primary segments of your life—personal, family, and work. You may also enjoy the companion plan, “Soul Mission: Determine your Purpose for Living.”

This 10-day plan is based on Craig Keener's New Testament Background course on Seminary Now.
