1 Corinthians 8:8-9, 11-13

1 Corinthians 8:8-9 MSG

1 Corinthians 8:11-13 MSG

NIV KJV ESV NLT NKJV

How Christians Grieve Well

6 Days

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.
