When Husbands and Wives Become Moms and Dads: A 3-Day Marriage Plan
In the early years of marriage, couples can eagerly anticipate exactly what life will be like when they become parents. They will be in for both delightful and painful experiences. No matter what comes, sticking to the basics, relying on God’s Word, and remaining committed to the goal of preparing their children for adulthood will provide constructive guardrails for their task. This week, let’s consider some examples.

The Cross | and What It Means for Fallen Humanity (Family Devotional)
Every year, we gather together as a church and family to pray and fast so that we can hear God and follow what He says. As we seek God together, may the finished work of Christ at the cross be at the center of everything we say and do. This family devotional is designed to be used by parents with children from ages two to twelve.

Living With a Strong-Willed Child
If your son or daughter is strong-willed and defiant, that child can wear you out emotionally. If you have one or more of these independent youngsters, you know how difficult life can be. The Dr. James Dobson Family Institute has developed this 10-day series based on the book, The New Strong-Willed Child. It's designed to equip you to wisely lead your kids through even the toughest trials.
Overcoming Emotional Struggles and Spiritual Battles
Overcoming emotional struggles and spiritual battles is an ongoing journey for every believer. Whether it’s wrestling with self-will, the temptation of self-sufficiency, or the burden of perfectionism, these challenges can hinder our spiritual growth. By turning to God’s word and surrendering our will, recognizing our need for His strength, and accepting His grace over our failures, we can find true peace and purpose. Let’s explore how to navigate these struggles with faith and trust.
Unbelievable
Whether you've gone to church your whole life or just started, it’s understandable if you have questions about God and the Bible, especially when some things seem unbelievable. Our doubts don’t have to destroy our faith. We might just find our voice when we speak up about questions we have. For the next 28 days, we’ll look at how Jesus met people where they were, showing that we can trust him even when we don't understand. We’ll also see that trusting God’s plan is key to knowing that our questions really do matter and God never gives up on us.
Encounter: People Jesus Met, Then and Now
The Gospels tell remarkable stories of encounters with Jesus—moments that brought healing, transformation, and purpose to those on society’s margins, truth-seekers, and the desperate. In this Bible Reading Plan, Karl Faase explores ten such encounters, showing how meeting Jesus changes lives. But these encounters aren’t just historical. This plan also shares modern-day stories of lives transformed by God. Based on the Australian documentary series Encounter, this resource invites you to reflect on how an encounter with God could impact you or someone you love.
Mentoring Relationships in Scripture
From start to finish, scripture has examples of what mentorship looks like. Unsurprisingly – because the Bible is always straightforward and honest, often uncomfortably honest - we find a wide cross-section of examples ranging from the exceptionally abusive mentorship, (which we should strictly avoid), to the outstandingly fruitful, (for us to learn from and follow). Jump in and learn with us from the leading examples from scripture about good and bad mentorship in this 13 day plan!
