Our Daily Bread: Hope and Strength for Times of Illness

Everybody experiences trauma at some level in their life.  During this 7-day devotional, Brian Dickinson, a former US Navy Aviation Rescue Swimmer and Mount Everest survivor, shares his personal military experiences of trauma and provides biblical guidance for finding freedom. There is so much life to live, but only through God will we be able to fully embrace His promise!

Surviving Trauma

Serving God with your whole heart, and yet experiencing devastating trouble?  These devotions explore why God allows heartaches and afflictions to enter the lives of godly people.  God’s express desire, for each of us who love Him, is to produce spiritual brokenness in us.  It describes every useful man and woman of God in the Bible.  Are you ready for God’s glory to be released through you?

Brokenness, the Path to Glory

Life is hard! We are struggling in our relationships and our mental and emotional reserves are empty. We need something far greater than we can touch, purchase or come up with on our own. Something that will help us survive the hardest seasons of life. Join Robin Meadows as she shares this 4-day plan taken from the full length Bible study Joy is a Person: A Deep Dive into Philippians. 

Joy is a Person

Struggling to believe in God’s Goodness? For some, our faith can become formulaic. We check things off the “Good Christian Checklist,” trusting we’ll be okay, and our trials will be minimal. But when life deviates from this, our trust in God often crumbles. Join Kristen LaValley in discovering strength and renewal in the midst of heartache and uncover how faith can grow in the cracks of pain.

Even if He Doesn't

Dealing With Grief

When couples lose a baby due to miscarriage, stillbirth, or early death, grief is expected. Though there are many resources available for women, few resources speak directly to men. This plan will unpack the ways men may feel differently from women during their loss and will help men find their path toward God and healing. Additionally, permission will be granted to feel deep feelings and to work toward healthy communication. Women can also benefit from learning the struggles men face!
