Suffering

Sometimes the valleys of life make it difficult to continue our trek forward - trusting and choosing Jesus every single day. This three-day plan is a reminder that Jesus is our hope during the struggles and uncertainties of life. When all hope seems lost -- keep digging, keep searching, keep hoping, keep dancing.

When All Hope Seems Lost

Elijah went through a wilderness as well as the apostle Paul. Even our Lord Jesus was led into a wilderness after being filled with the Holy Spirit. The wilderness experience is a tough time in which we endure spiritual afflictions. Not only can we overcome our wilderness experiences, but we can also shorten them by the way we respond.

Spiritual Wilderness

Our Daily Bread: Remembering 9/11 tells stories of how God carried people through that difficult time and gave them hope for the future. This reading plan can help us all find hope, encouragement, and the assurance that God is always with us even in our darkest moments.

A Five Day Devotional by Riley Clemmons

Joy, identity, fear, anxiety, grief, empathy, and hope are a few of the themes that inspired me to write my album “Church Pew.” Join me in this devotional as we dive deeper into these, in hopes that we are able to draw both inspiration and strength from the Word of God as we navigate the ups and downs of this life together. 

Church Pews: They’ve Got Stories

In today’s society, it is easier to play the victim than to claim the victory we’ve been promised through Christ’s sacrifice during our struggles, grievances, and sufferings. Throughout this 4-day journey, you will not only learn how to identify the clear signs that you’re succumbing to a victim mentality, but you will also gain practical guidance to securing a “more-than-a-conqueror mindset.” 

How to Live as a Victor, Not a Victim!

On this side of eternity, no one is exempt from pain, but if we believe that God never wastes our tears it changes our perspective. This six-day devotional will encourage you to hold on and not to give up because you are being prepared for greatness as He trains you to trust Him.

Hold On

Sometimes it seems like God is failing. The same was true for those first disciples too. This 5-day plan will take you through a time when it looked like God’s kingdom promises just weren’t coming true, through the lens of Acts 12. It continues our journey through the book of Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his kingdom to the ends of the earth. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

Acts 12:1-25 | Sometimes It Looks Like God Is Failing

We all experience great loss- a relationship, a job, a loved one, or simply life as it once was. We’re sure that life is not supposed to be this way, so we grieve and mourn for what could have been. We’re not alone. Join us for the second week of a 5-part plan that will help us learn the language and heart of lament in Scripture.

Good Grief Part 2: Learning to Lament in the Psalms
